I would think any positive number is probably OK. 100 while not perfect score sounds very good. I think you would do well devoting your life to a fur ball.
You didnt tell us what our scores mean Toker! I think I got 55 ..... I have had kitty cats before....... I love them!! Meow meow
@Piney the solution for you is here! They use it in museums and display cases to prevent precious objects getting knocked over and broken. Just glue you favorite pieces in place, kitty will have less fun, but you will save your knicknacks from destruction by gravity.
Ah but it's their play time, plus you keep putting things in their way, stupid! I was just thinking that this might be a cat instinct. Maybe they like to watch things break and hope there'll be a treat inside. Perhaps that's a reason cats like to climb trees. Find birds nest. Hit with paw. Watch eggs fall down, break. Climb down. Lick eggs or eat tiny embrios. Yummy!
Ok, I changed one thing on the test. If you already own a cat I raised the score from 20 to 50. It makes sense for it to be the big plus. Now any positive score is good, you will make a good companion, food bringer, poop cleaner, warm lap, servant. Over 100 and you definitely need a cat to satisfy your furry needs. You will be obedient and easily trained.
I got 130, but I may have cheated slightly. Our last cat died earlier this year and Jane has yet to be persuaded to replace him. In all we have owned 5 cats over the years. We do get field mice in the house, but none currently. I included the computer game points, but I only played a computer game once and that was more than 30 years ago. Perhaps I should get further points for abandoning them permanently. PS. If your question had been about spiders, with the help of our daughter, I would have scored around 300. If that had included watching Charlottes web, I would have scored around 3,000. Needless to say, I only watched it about 270 times, because I was running it at the theatre.
I had to read Charlotte's Web to the 4-6 year old kids in my class, over and over again. It was one of their favorite books.
Did the children get upset at the end, or did you soften the blow. At the cinema, it was not only the children who came out with tears running down their faces. I was quite surprised at the business considering our location, we were selling out for 4 months. This was the children's favourite, they loved Templeton. The ending of the 1973 version was rather sad.
