Alan Turing, a brilliant mathematician, once coined what has come to be known as the Turing test of artificial intelligence:
“A computer can be said to be intelligent if it can fool a human into mistaking it for another human.”
In this context, since my cat tricked me into feeding him twice last night, he has passed the Turing Test for Cats which I have reformulated as:
A feline can be said to be intelligent if it continually fools the human member of the household.
He is taunting me now, proud in victory. As I gaze at him he is continually licking his chops and wagging his tail with ferocious and superior thumps.
Final Score
Feline – 1
Human – 0

LOL...great shot! Looking for a snack?
I think the cat has the right idea.
Don't you give my little orange guy any ideas ...
I have turned the picture away from Gabby Abby!! She must not learn wiley feline ways!
...
I fear I am too late...
I love that picture!!! I think that is THE best picture from someone I know, albeit via a blog, I have seen! O'Malley...you are the feline of felines!!!
lol! that has to be a classic.
Give the feline an opposable thumb and she'd be unstoppable! Next up, toilet training. I've heard it can be done.
anya, thanks.
jade, : )
elaine, he is very worthy of a snack.
kathy, me too.
jc, it is my duty.
hk, your cat is adorable.
ah, he is a handful.
aafrica, !!!
lo, important to be ambitious.
Yuck! Did you get all the cat fur out of the refrigerator? Our cats tag-team us for canned food. I feed them and meander upstairs and if my hubby goes in the kitchen they wail "no one has fed us in hours!" It's quite impressive.
pop, o does not shed much so all was well.
So was it going for a beer or what?
debbie, he loves dairy!
Mine do something along the lines of what "Pop and Ice" said...
They will come to me, dragging themselves across the floor, looking pitiful, neglected, abused even, and say, (well mentally say) "Look at me, I'm wasting away to NOTHING!" "I'm neglected, unloved, worse off than orphan kitties out in the street, it's been at LEAST 15 minutes since I was last fed!"
I of course feel their pain and feed them... I am nothing if not helpful! lol BIG HUGS, Steph
OMYGOSH! what HAVE I been missing! LOL.
That shot of 'O' is just PRICELESS! Worthy of many scritches!
