anyone care to befriend the new kid?

[Hyren von Henry]

nope, its true, the centrifugal force removes the blockage.

the cat doesn't necessarily enjoy it mind... just stops it dying. 

[Laverna Lovett~]

Well, i do hope my cat Snowball is never in need of my swinging assistance. He's a fat little thing. I'd be afraid of swinging him around because all that flying around in the air would be hazardous to everyone...and my other cat, Sassy, is scared to death of everything. So scared, in fact, that she has a heart murmur. If i were to swing her around, i fear she would panic and die because her little kitty heart couldn't take it all...

[Sir Nikolas of Vendigroth]

The lesson here?
Don't let your cats choke.

[Hyren von Henry]

or if you do have to swing your cat, ensure you have enough room!

[Laverna Lovett~]

Oh yes, that's definately something to be mindful of. It would be bad if you had to tell everyone your cat died because you were swinging it around and it hit its head on something...even if you were trying to save it from choking...

[Hyren von Henry]

yes. yes it would.

[Laverna Lovett~]

ugh the more i think about it the harder it is to imagine swinging a cat. I'd be afraid it's tail would break off or it would fly out of my grip.

Oooh, speaking of swinging cats, has anyone ever seen that video of the cat that jumped up to attack a string that was hanging off a moving fan blade? It's hilarious.

I strongly suggest everyone watch it...

[Silvia Lovett]

there's also a screaming cat, named burger

[Doctor Trakov]

actually its how you stop them from choking.

hence "to swing a cat"

Actually, that's a naval term, from the cat o' ninetails.
That's also the root of "to take the cat out of the bag"

[Captain_Minty_Gearhertz]

Oh my, there is a lexicographer in our midst...

[Laverna Lovett~]

the ninetails reference makes more sense to me. there's just something wrong with swinging an actual cat around...

The yowling, hissing and scratching mainly...

[Hyren von Henry]

fine, but don't come crying to me when your cat dies 

[KinoOmega]

In a box by chance?

Maybe.

[Captain_Minty_Gearhertz]

In a box by chance?

Maybe.

with a radioactive element...

[KinoOmega]

In a box by chance?

Maybe.

with a radioactive element...

"Erwin Schrodinger will kill you like a cat in a box. Maybe."

[Hyren von Henry]

depends how philosophically inclined your cat is i suppose.

[Captain_Minty_Gearhertz]

Maybe the conundrum will kill it?

[KinoOmega]

It might.

[Hyren von Henry]

or just make it angry.

[KinoOmega]

Could make it any of the following:

-Dead
-Confused
-Angry
-Alive
-Warp Through Space

[Captain_Minty_Gearhertz]

Angry is the unwanted result here. Angry cat= not good....

[Hyren von Henry]

pie.


box could be oven

[KinoOmega]

pie.


box could be oven

It may be. It could also be a pet carrier box. Thus we'd all be getting radiation. maybe.

[Captain_Minty_Gearhertz]

A lead lined box... I wouldn't like to go the way of the Curies
