And as you can tell from the picture, they're really worried about my cat.
I've decided to try and have a little fun with this cell phone I'd just gotten, so I opted for the mini-internet charges. I was able to get the chorus for We Are the Pipettes as a ringtone but there are unintended consequences.
My phone now scares my cat.
I'd downloaded the file to my phone and tested it. Minor distortion on it because I had the ringtone volume setting and the general phone volume up too high, but no problem. As I was listening to it, Max came running into my bedroom like he HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. He was freaking out about something but I didn't know about what. I played the ringtone again and he just stared at my phone in abject horror, his eyes wide like WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!, then he sniffed at it then kinda ran circles between my bed and the door and back again a few times, every so often glancing at the phone.
I went out into the living room to tell my lover/boyfriend/husband/roommate/significant other/whatever Peter about it, and I'd noticed Max was still down the hall, looking into my bedroom like he was wondering if it was gone yet. I played the ringtone and Max tore down the hall into the living room, his rear legs moving independently of his front and his butt veering off to the left a little, his tail completely frizzed and this look on his face like it was Armageddon.
Funny, because I've listened to the CD with him around and he hasn't reacted. It must be the frequency of the phone. I got him to calm down and gave him some lovin' kitty skritches and some treats, and switched the phone to vibrate.
So. Yeah. If you decide to call and I don't respond right away? Either I've left the phone in my bedroom or Max has "accidentally" buried it in his litterbox.
