Felis Catus: Venato ergo sum


Domestic Cat:  I hunt therefore I am.

  1. Hunger/Boredom (mostly likely boredom)
  2. Opportunity Spotted (something to hunt)
  3. Goal Set (decide to nail a target)
  4. Appraisal of Situation (best launch point)
  5. Maximize the Utility of Personal Surroundings (take up a different position if necessary/able)
  6. Wait, Patiently, Until Goal is Within Reach (watch, listen, and learn)
  7. Posturing (align yourself with target)
  8. Pounce (leap of faith)
  9. If Goal Achieved (target is met) go to step 10, otherwise Repeat steps 1- 9, Possibly with the same target.
  10. If Hungry, Eat.  Otherwise - Let Go and Repeat steps 1 - 9, Possibly with the same target.
In 2012 I think I'll try to take a page or two from my cat.
