Eating sashimi has never been more difficult: Now I got not one but three competitors, all with noses far better than mine. While Nimrod showed his education by only sitting on my toes while watching me, these two were frantically searching for the best vantage point from where they could risk a jump that would land them on me.

Next time I need to lock them away first, all of them...

Let's say you have a LED bulb that runs on a battery.

Let's say you have a LED bulb that runs on a battery. If you wanted to prolong the time this bulb runs on one charge, would you place a solar panel next to it, catch some of the light (Please remember, that light is not avalable for lighting up your room any longer, which is why you operated the bulb in the first place.), then use it to give the battery some additional charge?

No? Neither would I. First of all, I operate the bulb because I want light. Next, using a solar panel to reclaim some electricity will always have a bad efficiency, only very little of the electricity drained from the battery to run the bulb will return.

Now, would you do something like this for your phone? I mean, attaching something to your phone that will catch some of the RF power (which is then not available for contacting base stations any longer, so the phone needs to ramp up the power) and feed it back into the battery, would you do that? I know I wouldn't, but apparently there are people out there who still believe in perpetuum mobiles:

Here you see part of the Huanle (I didn't check what name they used in English) Pavilion, with an adjacent tree.

I did not check this specific first-aid box, usually they are empty. But the clock does indeed show a pretty accurate time.

This is on Mt. Shoushan, a hill next to Gaoxiong.

I am thinking about renting out my slippers and also my feet.

This #caturday I decided to treat everyone equally.

This #caturday I decided to treat everyone equally. That means, equally cruel. And that means I went showering with one dog and two kittens. You can see the victims of my walk-by cleansing kidnapping in the photo.

What I found amazing is how relaxed Nimrod is now in the presence of the two kittens. A month ago he would have become a berserk, chasing any cat he noticed in blind fury. I am still not comfortable leaving the three together without my supervision, this will take some more time, but considering that Nimrod is six years old he has changed a lot already.

Anyone in for a little contest? I bet I can be faster than that.

He is gone

He is gone

He was the first of the three to trust me, to come to me. He was also the first to make a sound like "pew" when he saw something interesting or something he liked.

Maybe if this wasn't the first time I tried to raise cats I may have noticed, but they were all happy and kept me busy. On Wednesday evening he still climbed up to my shoulder, which had become his favourite spot.

On Thursday morning I didn't notice anything strange, didn't have much time anyway, had to go to work. And when I came home I suddenly found him very weak, almost unable to walk.

The vet gave him injections and kept him there, but it was too late. I hadn't even given him a name. The other two are less noisy now, he had been the driving force of much of their mischief. I miss him.
