charloweenETA Watch the slow motion kitty video here, because the embed code doesn't seem to be working.

Today I discovered one of my colleagues is scared of cats. We thought he'd enjoy Ninja Cat before we learned this about him. True, Ninja Cat is freaky if you're not prone to finding cats adorable, what with the creeping forward when you're not looking and then freezing. He then went on a rant about the Weeping Angels from DW being the scariest things ever.
There was also discussion about if cats are smart or stupid. One cat-lover argued they're smart, but I countered that the best part of cats - aside from the obvious soft, warm and purring aspects - is their air of wounded dignity after doing something spectacularly ridiculous or stupid, and then pretending that nothing happened at all. They're funny because they think their smart, not because they are.
Cat lover was not impressed.
So we watched DW clips on YouTube because we could all agree that Weeping Angels are the scariest, creepiest things ever.

However, I am not watching that Weeping Angels clip because it is late o'clock and I have at least a modicum of self restraint. And a strong desire to sleep through the night WITHOUT nightmares.
