No Nintendogs for Boris!
So I got a Nintendo DS for my Birthday. I only have one game for it right now; Nintendogs.
If you don't know about Nintendogs, it's basically a puppy simulator, but it's very interactive. The DS has a touch pad and a mic input that is used extensively to train and play with your puppy. You teach it tricks using voice commands , you call it to you using the name you taught it, you call it a good dog etc. Almost immediately you are using encouraging "pet speak", "Sit!" "Good DOG!" "Come here!" etc. My Cats HATE this game, almost as soon as I turn it on they are crying and giving me these hurt looks. It's really kind of sad. I really haven't had the time to play it much anyway because of Alpha Shade, but I think I'll have to get a game that is less disturbing to my flesh and blood pets and maybe just play this one when I'm on the road or something.

Someone doesn't understand cat mental processes. Even if they've never seen a dog they know what a dog is and react accordingly...my feeling is that they know this is not a real dog, but in cat thinking it pisses them off even more that you'd think they would be so stupid as to not know the diff, and even worse waste precious time you could be spending worshiping them.
I doubt the cats think it's actually a dog, It's probably the sheer confusion at being told "BAD DOG" in a stern voice when they've not done anything wrong.
Aw, poor jealous cat. Did the kitties ever encounter the AIBO?
My cat ignores the tv, pc etc. If it's not a carpet to pull up or something to eat, he's not interested!
alpha shade over? *sniff*
