Wild Pussy - A True Story

The place: Starting Point New Resident Dormitory, Moodle, Second Life
The time: 07:03:00 PM SLT

07:03:00 Tymmerie Thorne arrives at Starting Point to check prims and say hello to residents.

07:05:00 Ms. Thorne notices a large number of prims on a parcel of land that do not belong to anyone she knows.

07:05:30 The stray prims disappear from parcel.

07:05:45 The prims reappear on parcel.

07:06:15 The prims disappear from parcel once more.

07:06:20 She decides to investigate and surveys the area by camera.

07:07:00 A cat trots across the camera view.

07:07:20 The cat jogs by in the other direction.

07:07:40 She realizes that someone has left a scripted cat on the property and it is now roaming around the building and grounds. She assumes that it will be difficult to use land tools to return the cat to its owner because he keeps moving from one parcel to another. Plus, where is the fun in that? She decides to try to catch him.

07:08:00 Ms. Thorne loses sight of the cat. She walks, flies and camera pans in an attempt to find his hiding place. She is occasionally able to locate the cat, only to lose him again moments later.

07:09:00 The cat emerges from a hallway.

07:09:01 She attempts to right click on him and misses.

07:09:02 Ms. Thorne calls her mouse a naughty word.

07:09:03 to 07:12:00 She continues to click and miss over and over again while the cat wanders around the yard and building.

07:12:01 Ms. Thorne’s typist begins to choke on her iced tea from laughing.

07:13:00 She finally manages to click on the cat! Victory!

07:13:02 Ms. Thorne lets out a little scream as she realizes that she has somehow accidentally clicked ‘Ride’ instead of 'Edit' and is now sitting on the cat. No victory.

07:13:08 She stands up to get off of the cat and he heads toward the pool area.

07:13:15 She tries to anticipate his path and races down ahead of him. The cat goes in and out of camera view as she pans to find him.

07:13:30 There is a loud splashing sound.

07:13:31 Ms. Thorne hits the bottom of the pool.

07:13:35 Her typist can no longer breathe or speak from laughing and slides out of her chair.

Epilogue: The cat was eventually found and returned safely to his owner. At the time of his return, several eye witnesses stated that he was smiling.
