"[The other cats] chased [chasee cat] down the hallway, AND I HAD CLOSED THE BEDROOM DOOR. Any of the cats run headlong into that door?"
5 changing to 28
So...the reading as a whole is saying, "She was on the 'outskirts' boxes. So stop worrying."
I just don't understand the logic there. She could have ended up on those boxes whether or not she ran headlong into the door (short of it actually knocking her unconscious).
If Yi was trying to say that she never got as far as the door, which is what you think the lines meant
If Yi was trying to say that she never got as far as the door, which is what you think the lines meant, and which is certainly possible, then that makes sense. But those lines still seem to me a lot like someone saying, "Billy has on his blue hat. So of course he ate his breakfast." Two things that aren't logically connected.
28 here ? move out from under this tension ?
The nub of it is waiting to see what happens whilst not worrying and going on as normal. You cannot remain in a state of tension about it (28)
5.1 pretty much says 'carry on as normal' so that's a message to you [...] I don't think Yi was talking about the door or the box
ps I'd never have asked about 'did the cat hit the door' as what actually needs addressing is your worry. You need to know if you need to do anything....so I'd have asked if I needed to do anything. You can give the whole problem to Yi.....you don't need to use it to ascertain circumstances and then decide what to do..you can cut that bit out, just go straight to the point. Yi will go straight to the point anyway as it did here. It answered you as any friend would......
...so I'd have asked if I needed to do anything." What I'm getting at, though, is that Do I need to do anything?
Am adding this at the beginning, since I just saw your post, Sooo, after writing the rest of this - I do hope Jake will be okay . What an awful, scary thing. Sooo, I realize we live in the same country, but when you tell these stories it seems like a different planet, with the critters you run into.
Out of curiosity, how would you have worded the question, without dragging into it "did she hit the door"? Just, "What should I do for [cat]?" And then make side notes so I'd have a record of why on earth I was asking the question? (Sometimes I think Yi reads side notes...). Or, "What does [cat] need?" Or just a one-word question, like, "[Cat]?" That's about as open-ended as can be, and then Yi could say whatever it thinks is important about the general situation? Sometimes I have trouble with questions, and I see your point that what seems the most obvious ("Did she hit her head?!?!?") isn't always the best.
Dainty kitty looking inquisitive:

Oh, and Trojina, I did see that you said, "...so I'd have asked if I needed to do anything." What I'm getting at, though, is that "Do I need to do anything?" would probably seem (to me) like an awkward question if I didn't know whether anything even happened. Plus which, I might think to myself that we're supposed to avoid yes/no questions, and before I'd know it I'd be all tangled up.
I mean, I suppose a person could recognize that they're getting tangled up in wording, and then just not let that happen? I'm just telling you what would probably go through my head, and wondering how exactly you might word it.
Yes, leave the door open in the future so you won't have these worries.

Hail Kitty :bows: she looks sensible, not like a cat that would charge into a door.
I think I'd ask a pretty open question like 'do I need to do anything about my worries re cat'....I'm not saying you should ask how I do, everyone has their own way, but the question in your heart, the real question, is what will get answered regardless of the words you use so go with the words that get nearest the true question. I'd ask it that way because it simplifies things immediately....I know I will usually get an answer that is clear enough for me to know if immediate action is necessary or I can wait and see.
Well not necessarily. I think this is something you just plain don't believe in doing, and I just plain don't see anything wrong with it sometimes. Sometimes Yi is the only one who could possibly know.To find out plain factual information we have other far better methods don't we.
Of course you could practise telepathy with kitty, now that would be far more effective, she'd tell you if she hit the door. I believe it is quite possible to have telepathy with animals...yes try that, just tune in to her and let her communicate with you. If she only talks about the next meal time you'll know she's fine
nnaahhh.. really?
It is the land of Nu, where treading and social conduct are not limited to humans.
Thank you both for your good wishes, which I'll be sure to pass along to Jake.

I'm envisioning that movie! Black and white, speeded up, with old-fashioned piano-playing as background music.
It's entitled: "The Grass is Always Greener" - Executive producers: Angelina Jolie and Justin Bieber
Chasee cat doesn't seem hurt. She was fully conscious when I found her. She's not staggering around or anything. But I don't think you can always tell by looking, necessarily?
...if the cat approves what you (large retarded kitten) are doing...
I like Tom's cat body language tutorial.
Jake has rebounded and is unusually affectionate.
Hopefully, he'll be more cautious in the future of those rattles and fangs.
It sounds like Tom has known some cats in his life
How fast do rattlesnakes move? Could they close in on a dog before he'd have time to react? Or are dogs quicker? (Am cluelesssss about sssnakesssss.)
My life is dominated by a large white cat who considers me to be in need of her protection, supervision, and discipline. In spite of the many lessons she has given me on the proper way to catch mice, I have not learned.
I think you can tell by the way the cat carries and moves its tail. If the cat is excited about being fed, the tail quivers. If the cat enjoys its food, the tail curves upward. If the cat is busy eating, the tail lies flat. If the cat approves what you (large retarded kitten) are doing, then there is a happy crook in the tip of the tail. If the cat is making a decision, the tail switches from side to side sharply. I would expect an injured or sick cat to have a droopy, inexpressive tail. Also, there is a range of facial expressions.
I would have thought a picture would be appropriate ...so we can admire her majesty.
I want to know what a cat does when it disapproves of you ? What does she do when she considers you beyond redemption ?
Shouldn't we have a pic of Jake too ?
