Report on My Human’s Library Talk

April 13, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat33 Comments

You mean this is NOT how DJs do it?

So I suppose you are wondering how my human did with her library talk last night. She managed to pull it off! There were a lot of humans there and she was able to talk for a whole hour without sounding like an idiot (well, except for the part where she couldn’t get the video of Binga jumping through hoops to work).

She pretty much just dragged and dropped.

She even put together some slides. She used Keynote, so it was not as complicated as it looked. In fact, she really did not know what she was doing — she only downloaded the software two days ago.

She did not know any of this until I explained it to her.

She listed some important facts for humans to know. I insisted on her adding in the last part about “manhandling.”

I was worried she was not going to bring these back... and I was almost right!

She even brought some of my favorite toys as samples of what humans need to get their cats. Some guy tried to buy a couple from her! But she told him he had to go to a store.

This talk just made more work for me!

Talk about manhandling! My toys came back with a bunch of unfamiliar smells. I will have to rub myself all over them again. I think I will start with the Tickle Pickle.

    Allie: Well, of *course* she did well, she was talking about YOU! Humans would always succeed in life if they only followed our lead.

    FaRADaY: But the toys – seriously? Weird smells? Time for her to buy you new ones! MORE WAND TOYZ!!!

    Yeah, Mommeh!! That must have been scary to get up there and talk in front of all those people! I am very impressed with that. It’s a good thing you sent your pickle and some of your toys with her to keep her company. 🙂

    What?! Your human let strangers TOUCH your toys? OH NO!!!!!

    Other than that, it sounds like the talk was fab! We approve of the slides too!

    Well, we’re glad your human had a good library talk experience….and hopefully she was able to explain in human terms just what we EXPECT from our humanly companions in the way of care, treats, food, treats, and treats…..ahem….It’s a shame you’ll have to work on getting those foreign smells off your toys but it WAS very nice of you to share them with your human for demonstration purposes!

    Well, Sparkle, look at it this way; she could have taken YOU to her human show-and-tell. Then you would have strange smells! That would violate both rules #3 AND #4. We’re glad her talk went well, not surprised one bit. *wave*

    We’re glad to hear your human’s talk went well, Sparkle, but she should have been more careful with your toys and not let them get stinky human smells on them.

    We knew your human would do a great job since she was talking about cats! It’s too bad you have to re-smell up your toys though. We LOVED the video of Binga! Bravo Binga!

    Your input was essential to her success, we know. We loved the Binga hoops. Where did you get that, anyway?

      My human got a styrofoam hoop from Michaels! Binga is so desperate for treats she learned it right away.

    So long as those new smells weren’t CAT smells. I’d hate to share my toys. I’m glad things went well for her though. I hate it when I have to make the Woman feel better

    We apologize iffen this is stoopid,but did she talk kitty-talk when she was there? Rumor has it (around here) that Beings speak different among themselfs! Well, we wouldn’t know…

    Sparkle we had no doubt that your human’s library talk would be a sensational “WIN!” No doubt at all! Glad you verified what we already thought!

    But…I think your Mom should have picked up NEW toys to display! How dare she bring the scents of strangers home and have them taint your toys no less?

    They will never learn…

    Terrible thing to have your toys manhandled, but putting your smells on your toys again sounds like a fun job, lovely Sparkle :)…You have a cool Mommy to incorporate your suggestions and try to educate humans about kitties…Happy Friday the 13th and have a fun weekend, sweet friends…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki

    We’re glad your mom’s talk was successful! Next time maybe she’ll just have *representative* toys to show them! (No use wasting good nap time having to recondition yours!)

    How awful to have strange smells on your toys – we thought your Mom was just going to show everyone what toys you have not pass them round to let them play with them. We hope she is going to compensate you for the strange whiffs!

    WOW–your human talked for a WHOLE hour?? They can do that? Hmm. Well, since your human was talking about YOU and kitties–I’m surprised she didn’t go for two. Glad you got your toys back. 🙂

    She should get you some new toys and some tuna as a reward for letting her use you in her show!

    Unfamiliar smells on the toys? Well, give them a good once over and then be sure to fur them up with your own furs again! Congratulations to your mom on her talk!
