wow, that is one zen cat. i WISH i could do that to mine. even bast, while not excessively intimidated, prefers to stay on the opposite side of the room. she won't move until i get quite close, but when she does move she moves all the way over. and the bug, as i've mentioned, has actually developed faster-than-light travel specifically for such critical situations as me dragging the vacuum out.
i've seriously contemplated getting permanent laser hair-removal done on both of them and making them sweaters for the wintertime because they really produce unreasonable amounts of fur (which i then have to vacuum up, and remove from every single article of clothing before going out...), it's like their only raison d'être is to be fur-producing machines. i think it's part of the feline plot for world domination. the only problem is that i've *seen* those hairless cats (i have a friend who has some) and they look like some kind of alien reptile. brrrr. seriously, it's enough to give you nightmares. so a robo-vacuum might be the next best thing.
