I wish I could get cool action pics like that of my spastic cat, but my camera just doesn't have the chops.

He's a twisting, spinning, tumbling super-gymnast when it comes to leaping for the string-on-a-stick toy. Regularly goes into lunatic, hyper-speed, crazy cat mode (racing around the house bouncing off furniture and walls for no good reason). Can't resist leaping upon and chasing down my elderly lady cat (she sneaks around the house now, hoping he won't see/hear her). For a good part of the day, he's either going at warp speed or he's completely knackered.



Oh, and he simply must closely and intimately inspect everything that comes along. Literally sticks his head into your cup as you hold it in your hand, because there might be something good in there. Demands a bite of whatever you're eating. He's convinced there are treasures between and beneath the sofa cushions, or possibly small creatures that he would like to eat. He never stops exploring the entire house, even though he's been into every crack and corner a hundred times. He snoops and digs into every fucking thing in sight.



Any food left on the counter (even if it's wrapped up or in a container) is doomed. The second I open a closet or cupboard, he's inside it. I can't even leave an open box of cat litter out, because he thinks it's fun to stick his paw in there and dig the litter out.

Scooter Pie is one gigantic handful of kitty madness. And I love every exasperating second of it.

Will your phone take bursts? Like three (or more) pics really closely together? Ya could also try video and take a still from the vid, or a screenshot.

Scooter Pie = home entertainment system.

My boy Slick (gone four years, now, still seems like yesterday), a Bombay, was very hard on his toys. One of those stick-n-string things had a lifespan of only a couple hours. The bird-looking-thing-on-a-string-on-a-stick never stood a chance.

I made him/us a toy out of a leather boot lace (thong) and the shaft of an old cue stick. It (the 'string') was a little shorter at the end, but it lasted as long as he did.

He still has it.

If i point a camera at either one of my Cats they immediately sit and stare.

[Gravdigr]

That's just when Slick started moving.

Sometimes ya have the option while watching a vid, maybe, to take a snapshot of what you're seeing in the vid.

And some websites like Pinterest and Twitter won't let you grab images so you have to take a screen shot of your whole screen and edit it down to the picture you want in your photo program.

Or ya use the snipping tool that comes with Win7.

Snipping tool??

I just want to say that this tool has saved me a couple hours at work so far. I use it all the time now.

Open, click new, drag a box around the area and save as a file.

That's interesting, I've never used that. I just tap the screen capture key(PS on my keyboard) and paste it into photoshop. Snippet might prove to be faster if I'm doing several images at one site, have to try it, thanks.
