She does have a cute helper though.

@PhysWiz Oh god, is it Starship Troopers Discourse Day again already?

I swear it gets earlier every year.

@sharonacross Not sure.
I think she just likes being a bit annoying.
If you look closely you can see she's not actually sat down. She's crouching, on her tiny dagger paws...

So, you're a lap cat now, eh Honey?

@Fenrisianspirit What a strange guy.

[Dr Andy Smith (@evilokapi.bsky.social) @evilokapi]

I think there's a tribble on the arm of my sofa.

[Dr Andy Smith (@evilokapi.bsky.social) @evilokapi]

@Fenrisianspirit Yeah, it's how you can tell there's nothing going on behind them... 😆

[Dr Andy Smith (@evilokapi.bsky.social) @evilokapi]

The cat who doesn't do laps, kinda forgot who she was for a minute.

@Pingosaurus *Carlyle. Doh...

[Dr Andy Smith (@evilokapi.bsky.social) @evilokapi]

@Pingosaurus The grungy, gritty Scottish realism just can't be translated. It's difficult to find actors unlikeable enough for most of the roles.
Jonny Lee Miller didn't even come close to Sick Boy of the book.
Robert Carlisle did his best as Begbie, but it was still cartoonish.

@owenclark3 I once dropped a half pint bottle of concentrated fluorescein dye onto the tiled floor of my lab. It took literally hundreds of gallons on water to flush it all down the drain.

@ChaiGerdes @babiebabka The weight of one thousand panthers, concentrated in the size of a postage stamp.

incredible how cats can detect the softest most sensitive organs in a human body for the sole purpose of standing on them with the weight of the sun concentrated into tiny kitty paws
