After one battles nescience all day, what better succor is there than a LOLzy cat video? This cat is named Robocop.

Robocop vs. washing machine

Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
Haha! My cat is scared shitless (literally, his bin is in the laundry) of our running washing machine. This must be a tough one.
LOL.
Had I not been at work, it would have been LOLIRL!
That’s so funny it practically brought tears to my eyes. Thanks, JC!
Man, I needed that after a day of Palin-induced outrage.
That’s the first cat-powered washing machine I’ve ever seen.
Just what I thought :-))
After my oldest son was born, a friend with older kids told me “there are many similarities between kids and cats–watch as he gets older”. She was right. When half the top broke off of our old washing machine, all three kids would stand around it, mesmerized, watching it go around during the wash cycle (I made them stay away from it during the spin cycle) ;-))

Damn – sorry Brain fart – meant to post the link, not embed
Now am I’m confused – that was supposed to be the URL. Sorry Jerry. It would appear that I am too middle age for the interwebs. I’ll buy a pipe and slippers instead.
Would there be an evolutionary reason for that behaviour? Cats have presumably not evolved to see what we see (what we laughingly call “what’s really there”), but only what they need to see. Would those clothes have enough salient features in common to resemble something useful to cats, such as a grounded flock of pigeons?
We laugh. But notice–each time that washer started up, Robocop beat it into submission.
(Too cute!)
Well, this is real robo cop (Mark I). It’s kind of the same thing (only different).
