for ye of the messed up video card

for those of you whose video cards have been fuxed up by basement cat, here's a play-by-play of the kai vid below:

1.

kai squeezes his eyes shut and kneads the air. bliss, natch.

2.

a disembodied hand reaches into the warm soft fur of his underbelly and now you can hear the purr. more ecstatic kneading.

3.

a brother (or maybe a sister) catches his attention. his eyes snap open and he lifts his neck to look into the kitchen. he realizes it's just his boring brother (or sister) and not a treat that has spontaneously jumped off teh counter for him to snarf.

4.

now that he's up and alert, the swingy toothable cord of the camera in his face has his full attention. he comes in close, he sniffs around, he NOMS on something just beyond the viewfinder. at first it seems totally harmless. we viewers are safe, right?

5.
the nom-nom'ing becomes more intense, more plasticky-destruction-sounding. kai turns his head this way and that to get a better fang-grip on whatever it is he finds so tasty about this totally unappetizing canon. his beautiful clear dark eye flashes in and out of sight.

6.
all of a sudden the vid ends. we're left to wonder if this tape was brought in by the intrepid videographer herself, or whether it was found months after the encounter amid a pile of licked-clean bones and delivered to the authorities by a weirded-out tourist.
