Why is it that if you point a camera at a cat they run away, but camera-phones get sniffed?

It is a complete mystery. I have some very nice up the nose shots of mine though.

The phone smells like you, the camera does not. Think about it, which is in closer contact to you?

Cats get a whole lot of information from the smell of the substances you excrete. Your phone smells like your breath, and spittle, and hair oils, and earwax maybe*.

Your camera isn't used anywhere nearly as often, and probably would only smell like eyelashes anyway. Not as much good data for a cat there.



*Ahem, not your phone of course, which I know you keep scrupulously clean by scrubbing it each evening using a toothbrush and a very mild solution of vinegar and isopropyl alcohol in water. I meant only to refer to those camera-phones belonging to the unwashed. Three syllables: un wash ed.

Because cats are, despite being fuzzy, funny and cute, are retarded. Absolutely stinkin' retarded. I got three of 'em, so don't mistake me for a non-catlover.

But yeah: retarded animals. All of 'em.

Most camera phones don't have a bright flash, and the way you hold them isn't in a necessarily pointing, aiming fashion compared to how you hold them to dial.
