Description "Ode To Spot"

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

o Data, "Schisms"

Every time I watched Data interact with Spot, I almost cried, it was so sweet.

I love this scene even though it makes me cry.Β  After crying my eyes out on the death of Kirk, I start crying again with tears of joy to see that Data has more than a working emotional chip, but a heart and soul of a human.

A sad fact about this scene: Brent Spiner hates cats in life.Β  *pout*

He also says he's far more like Lore than Data. Always makes me sad, but I just try not to think of Data as being Brent Spiner underneath.

This is a fantastic painting. Data is my favorite Star Trek character of all time by the way.

Data, Picard and Worf ... those always were my favourite characters (and they all suffered horrible things, Picard being the last Picard and so on, Worf losing Jadzia ... *doublesniff*)

and Spock, of course

What's sorta bad is Brent Spiner is a cat hater & he didn't want to save Spot in the movie Star Trek Generations.

He totally saids something about it in the behind the scenes from the movie Star Trek Generations.

MuroPearl In reply to Wilddevilchild [2014-01-23 23:34:06 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure he's a cat hater... he just doesn't like that cat. I have four cats though so I'm sticking up for them. But yeah, really a shame he doesn't like em much.

LOL. Well Brent is completely different from Data anyway so I don't really even associate them. I find that kinda funny to be honest XD
