Okay, I have the results of the Cat Hive vs. Trap query, but before we get into that, can I just say that MANY of you did not play by the rules. You had the choice of 1) HIVE, or 2) TRAP, with no fudge room for debating the validity of either term, and yet there was a distressingly large Cave/Lair constituent, not to mention various other suggestions which I helpfully filed under “Other” (including “hello, it’s two pillows on a cat”).
You are a Question Authority kind of group, is what I’m saying. The kind of person who sees the choices before them, and decides that you know what? That isn’t good enough. It’s not a hive or a trap, for the love of god, and I refuse to cast my vote accordingly. You like to Think Different, but without going the path that has been easily laid out before you.
In other words, you are the perfect demographic for the Zune. You make it you, you crazy dreamers.
Here is how the voting broke down:
Trap for the win! Because come on, THAT WAS SO A TRAP. Those of you who thought the trap referred to Cat being trapped instead of being an actual, living trap for me, you get negative ten points for not comprehending the full evil potential of Cat but an extra five points for being cute (net total: five point loss, but you got your own data slice in the Excel pie!). Josh gets an extra fifty points for delivering his trademarked foamy-mouthed rant on the subject of hives and traps and pointing out that “if you had walked into your room, and the cat was in a bucket balanced on top of the door, now that would be a trap,” which sent JB off on a goattrail about how we should totally stage a photo that depicted Cat in a bucket on top of a door, or maybe a whole series of photos with Cat in a variety of human-trap poses and hey babe do you think CatTrap.com is taken? (Sadly: yes.)
I plan to spend an extra twenty bucks at Target this afternoon to celebrate my victory. The curtains of history will have to remain demurely closed on whether or not JB got a silver place Knowing Leer.
And lastly, toddler hive . . . or TRAP?
I’m just kidding, that’s clearly a U.S. Bear Patrol employee hard at work.

Me: “Um, what the hell is this?”
JB: “What?”
Me: “This. On the sofa. The trap you left me. Where if I sit down next to those pillows a clawed foot will come out and hook me.”
JB: “That’s not a trap. I made a hive for Cat.”
Me: “A . . . cat hive.”
JB: “Yes. A cat hive.”
Me: “Cats don’t have hives.”
JB: “Well what else would you call that?”
Me: “A TRAP.”
JB: “It’s clearly a hive.”
Me: “I will ask my blog readers and if the consensus is that it’s a trap, you owe me twenty bucks.”
JB: “What do I get if they say it’s a hive?”
Me: “What do you think you should get?”
JB: *knowing leer*
The time for voting is NOW. Trap or hive?
(ETA: I’ve closed comments so I can laboriously tally the data. Thanks for your vote! Remember Cat in November!)
