			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ggunson/3639204439/" title="Dangling in the sunbeam by gillicious, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2452/3639204439_3c9b32c944_m.jpg" width="159" height="240" alt="Dangling in the sunbeam" align="left" hspace="10j" /></a>I&#8217;m hoping this is the weirdest interview question I will ever get for the rest of my life:</p>
<blockquote><p><i>What would your cat say about moving to Kelowna?</i></p></blockquote>
<p>It just goes to show you will never be 100% prepared for an interview, so I suggest you formulate your answer to this in advance of your next job search, just in case.<br clear="all"/></p>
<p>Getting to the cat links, I swear to God I was being all intellectual and stuff and reading a <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/neurotopia/2009/06/the_music_of_the_brain.php">Neuroscience blog</a> when I found this Youtube video of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl7w2l2khNU">cats getting stoned on a music keyboard</a>:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bl7w2l2khNU&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bl7w2l2khNU&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Supposedly if you map your brain waves to music, that&#8217;s what they sound like. Which begs the question, what do the brain waves of stoned cats sound like? I&#8217;m guessing Nickelback.</p>
<p>This comes just a week after <a href="http://boingboing.net/2009/06/16/cats-getting-stoned.html">BoingBoing posted</a> an educational video of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5Xrcp6k8VE">cats strung out on the &#8216;nip</a> from the BBC series <a href="http://www.jdp.co.uk/programmes/Weird-Nature">Weird Nature</a>:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5Xrcp6k8VE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J5Xrcp6k8VE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p><i>Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream&#8230;</i></p>
<p>Unlike the <a href="http://gunson.ca/blog/2009/03/23/since-my-last-blog-post-was-so-serious/">turtle-humping-inanimate-objects</a> video genre, these ones I can actually reproduce, that is, once I contact a high-grade catnip supplier and get my keyboard out of storage downstairs. Surely I could get my cat to say anything I want about Kelowna after 10 minutes of her writhing in A minor.</p>
