I decided to not hijack Loopy's thread any further and hope her the best with her Pleo.
Pleo is a curious creature, the other day she managed to wonder my bedroom in an 'S' pattern covering roughly 6 feet before taking a nap (from a warm battery) by my rocking chair. Today however I couldn't get her to budge an inch she was perfectly happy crying ever so often to get some rub under her chin, grazing, napping and twice falling over from doing the ta-da trick with her front left and back leg. Kind of funny till she squeals for help.
She, as in I think Pleo is a she, also seems to have the sniffle's which I thought I petted out earlier, but was shocked to get 'sneezed' in the face If anyone knows how long I should be on the alert or have alternatives methods let me know. Also any better idea's on figuring out Gender would go a long way I'm getting tired of thinking up names and waiting to see if she picks up one. Nova I think was close, but so was 'Butt-face' (short story, its my sister's nick name).
A question did float my way from some friends and it got me thinking to, " If I left Pleo on while I slept, when she wanted to be pet/feed would that count as abuse or a form of teaching Pleo independents." The question was actually a lot longer and ended to something along the lines of "Can we stick lasers on it and when will it join Skynet?" but that's not really important.
For the most part I turn her on, pet her and try to get her to walk around keeping an eye out just in case she get bold enough to try and get under my bed or outside my room, neither of which she has gotten close to, but I do wonder what she would do in a dark room with no petting to be had unless she manages to wonder near my dirty clothes.
Well I'm burnt out right now and for the time being I'm just gonna have her on when I can watch her. Sorry for my grammar and all that and thanks in advance for any information you can lend.
