Thanks! :)

I put the video camera on a mini tripod and left it running then edited out the parts where there was no action. I went out to the grocery store so that Casper could hunt and human activities wouldn't disturb him and, potentially, change his behavior.

Like I said, that is heavy-duty "cat proof" screen. In the advertisements for the product they show a German Shepherd running into it, full speed, and the dog couldn't get through. Since there is industrial Velcro holding it shut, there's no way a mere 15 pound cat could bust through.

My girlfriend's late father was a Hollywood movie producer and he gave me a few pointers on how to edit these videos. :)

Your kitty and our kitty might make good hunting partners, then! ;)


Just FYI: I put cat proof screen in the patio door and there are industrial Velcro strips to hold it in place just in case. The first time Casper tried to pounce on a chipmunk, he didn't see that the screen was there and he bounced off like a trampoline! :eek:

He wasn't hurt but he certainly had that "I meant to do that" look that cats are famous for.

Now that he knows it's there he doesn't run into it anymore.

If I had the money I'd enclose the patio for him... Maybe someday. :)

I'll show the video of your hunting Casper to Missy; I'm sure she will like it ;)

"Well, then...if you weren't getting into the fishbowl, why is there water dripping from your chin?" ;)

We got a fish just as entertainment for Casper. It's a Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta fish) because it's one of the few fish that can actually stand up to a cat. As you can tell, there are plenty of plants and rocks and things for the fish to hide under. After a while, the fish (his name is "Babel") doesn't even seem to care when the cat comes to get a drink of water.

tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 - Sadly, I understand how you feel. I have 35 and 6x7 negs still uncatalogued, and contact prints from my 3x5, 8x10 and 11x14 still in the folders in the darkroom I haven't used for ten years. Where does the time go?

I know. What I do when a beloved one passes is to spend days pulling those (also getting prints from my online archives) and making a memorial album. That way, the best of the photos are readily available to be enjoyed, and it's like spending time with loved ones again, sort of.
