[ This would be the second time in as many weeks that Helen's NV has been activated accidentally, although this time you're faced with a much pleasant sight. Having left her NV on the table as she read on the couch, something that you may just be able to see in the background

That's the pity with cats; they can't be trained nearly as well as dogs.

[ Helen's a little surprised when the voice comes into her room but doesn't let it show, and replies as she goes about clearing up the mess off-camera ]

The same could be said for many dogs - its more on the individual animal itself rather than the species.

[ And when she comes back into view, picking her NV up off the table, she has Ashley scooped into her arms ]

Oh, really? I don't think so; I've never met a well-trained cat. Dogs, on the other hand, are bred to be trained.

[longaevus]

Then perhaps that may say more for those whom owned it than the cat. Cats are intelligent creatures, hence their great independence. I wouldn't necessarily call it training them but there is much to be learned in both respects.

[dancing_pierrot]

Too independent, if you ask me. They wouldn't want to do a simple task simply because they knew how. They're not as...useful. And extraordinarily fickle.

[longaevus]

Much of that differs depending on the treatment they receive.

[dancing_pierrot]

You're quite insistent on this matter, aren't you? I challenge you this -- bring me a well-trained cat, and then I'll believe it.

[longaevus]

I have a lot of experience with it.

You set a high target with the small number of cats that are here.
