Danny the Guru Cat

in which we discuss - excuses

Alright? You might have seen me and Winnie talking about his taking action once in a blue moon on new years eve. If you didn't then get with the programme, coz after today you and him only have 364 days left this year to get your acts together! I made him have the day off today. He was going plastering, but I slept right across the bed and he couldn't get comfortable as Winnie took up most of the rest. That meant the aches and pains he had from doing that ceiling yesterday were still there when he woke up. It's the only way I can focus him, but then he started bitching about being stiff. I got him on the computer to show him some things he needed to see. Share them around a bit. It's not only him that has a head fullof excuses where ideas for activity should be. You might be doing someone a favour passing this on..

cat chat - la luna

I feel really twitchy at the moment, really unsettled and I can't sit still. That's worms. He has pills for that, don't let him see you twitch or he'll look up your butt for worms, then start shoving pills down your neck. I don't have worms. I just feel like something is about to happen and a big change is about to come. Oh. That'll be constipation then. He has stuff for that too, but you're better off eating grass like I do, or he'll take you to the pervert vet who looks up your butt even if you go with earache. He should do summat about him. Oh Danny! Why does everything have to end up being about butts with you? It ain't me, it's that bloody vet. He's a sicko Win I'm telling you! Well he didn't keep looking up my butt when I had to be kept in the Vetspital for my skin problem. No, but you were coming apart at the seams weren't you? No-one with any sense would come near you at that time, 'cept Softy, and he used to get covered in some kind of icky skank off you when he did. Cat plague I think you had. Yes. Well that was then and this is now. It's in the past. I think that's why I feel twitchy. Nah, I'm telling you, it's a flea or summat. He has pills for that too. No, you're wrong. I'm sure it's the phase of the moon.....

in which we discuss - motivation

He was looking through a load of posts on the googlegroup he's a part of at www.themoneygym.com the other day. There was a load of stuff on there about motivation. He told me I motivate him to get out of bed and go to work by digging my claws in his face, or scratching his arm when he's being stubborn, or punching him in the eye when he's really determined not to move. He loves that. Not. Anyway, I don't motivate him. I can't. ALL motivation is self-motivation in the end, and try as you might, if someone does not want to play ball then they won't. That must mean they have to want to play ball then? Yeah, always, for one reason or another, and to a greater or lesser degree or another. I'll explain how I see it, but I have to get him to write this all down here for you, it's the only way it sticks in his head. If your average brain has a quad processor running at 2gig, his head is more your Atari. (The only reason he can type at all is because he did some building work on a research establishment once, and one of the chimps taught him.)
