Cat's Cradle

[blamebrampton]

I realised why the childhood string game is called cat's cradle today.

Last night Cookie was prancing about with a ball of perle cotton in her mouth, feeling very proud of herself for finding such a treasure.

This evening, when I arrived home, there was a network of threads strung about the living room, around pieces of furniture, through the cat tunnel (in three separate passes), and out into the kitchen. In the middle of the mess were two kitties happily chewing on the threads. I don't think I want to weave anything with that thread anymore ... kitty saliva is a bit manky.

In other kitty news, I have worked out how to podcast! So far all of my test pieces end after a few minutes with "Oof! Monster! You cannot eat the headset, and get off my diaphragm!"
"Mroaw?"
"There are no cats in Sansa's fic!"
"MROAWWWW?"
"You are no help."

Are you reading one of Sansa's fics?

Silly thing. They weren't playing. They were setting a trap for you.

Just rolled in a few hours ago. Why must the best vacations end with seven hour car trips?

Hahahahaha! *wants to hear that podcast*

Were the kitties interrupting an "important" moment for Draco and Harry? Only that's what my cat used to do. Hop up on the bed to check out what hubby and I were doing. *face palm*

Please, please, please POST! I want to hear this *big grin* I bet it's even better than a regular reading without hubbies and cats.

Perhaps you'll need to read a cat!animagus fic to give Monster a chance as a voice actress.

I want to add that my niece sent me a CD of her choir, and it's actually moving to hear babies crying in the background (it was a live recording).

Yay for kitty-cast! I think that could be a regular feature of your LJ. I can't wait for your podcast! I was actually debating recording one of my own as a bit of a humourous gift for Bri - she seems to think I have a soothing kind auntie voice. Clearly, she's never heard my excited screeching or indoor/outdoor voice confusion. lol

Also, how are you?

LOL. They only want to heeeeeulp you!

That was cute :)

You poor thing though, wasted yarn is sad. :/

Yay audio fic! I've been making my own with SpokenText.net and the text-to-speech software on my computer to listen to during my commute, but recently discovered a multi-fandom audiofic archive after one of lovely_slyth (aka olivia_lupin)'s fics went up there.

Allison (who is very nice) has posted a basic "how to create podfic" and has linked to other tutorials as well, if you're having trouble or just want to see how other people do it. I haven't done it myself, so I can't tell you if they have any cat advice.

It's sadly low on Snarry, but I'm working my way through the Drarry fic there. :) Good luck with your cats, and hope to listen to yours soon!

I'll see your kitties and raise you a two year old.
