The Adventures of Chris, Frankie, and Floki – Written by AI


We want to wish all of our Christian readers a very happy Easter.

In case you were wondering how advanced Artificial intelligence has become, I did a little test. I asked ChatGBT to write a children’s story about three cats and then I briefly described Chris, Frankie, and Floki. Here is the story that was given to me.

Once upon a time, in a cozy little home, there lived three cats: Chris, Frankie, and Floki. They loved their comfortable life, but one day they decided it was time for an adventure.

Chris, the bold 14-year-old cat, was the leader of the group. He had always been curious about what lay beyond their home. Frankie, the 12-year-old cat, was just as brave as Chris and eager to explore the world outside. Floki, the youngest of the three, was a bit nervous, but he trusted his older brothers and was excited to join them on their journey.

One night, the three cats snuck out of their home and ventured into the unknown. They crept through gardens and alleys, their paws barely making a sound. As they walked, they saw many new things: towering trees, sparkling streams, and even other animals they had never seen before.

Chris led the way, his tail held high in confidence. Frankie followed closely behind, his eyes darting around in excitement. Floki stayed in the middle, sometimes hiding behind his brothers, but always keeping up with their pace.

Their adventure took them to many places, and they had to be clever to avoid getting caught by humans and other animals. They crawled through narrow spaces and jumped over high walls. They even snuck into a fancy restaurant and stole a piece of fish!

As the night wore on, the cats grew tired. They realized that their adventure had taken them far from their home and they weren’t sure how to get back. Floki started to panic, but Chris and Frankie kept calm and thought of a plan.

Using their keen senses, the three cats worked together to find their way home. They followed their noses and the stars in the sky. After a long journey, they finally arrived back at their cozy little home.

As they curled up in their warm beds, the three cats realized how much they had learned on their adventure. They had discovered new places, met new creatures, and tested their own limits. Most importantly, they had relied on each other and worked together to overcome any obstacle.

From that day on, the three cats continued to go on many more adventures, always staying together and exploring the world with their brave hearts and curious spirits.

What do you think? I don’t make any money blogging but I am concerned for people who make a living by writing. I think in five years the pay for writing jobs will decline because of AI. I don’t think AI will replace human writers but it will be used as a tool to make their job easier, and any job that is easy won’t pay much.

Cats Meet Roomba


I was transferring photos and videos from my phone to my computer this morning when I came across this video I took in early January. It was right after the new Roomba vacuum cleaner that my wife ordered arrived. Note that this is an affiliate link and if you buy something I will be able to live a life of luxury, assuming, of course, you spend forty million dollars.

Our Heated Pet Mat Returns


I first reviewed the Art of Paws Heated Pet Mat in February 2018. You can read that review here. Since then it has been chiefly used without the heating element. That changed when we spent some time in West Virginia. You can see that story here. Since we returned to Florida the heating element has been packed away and the mat was on one of the cat perches.

I brought in a pile of laundry on Saturday and put it on the bed to fold. Floki immediately made a nest in the laundry and decided to take a nap at that very moment. My wife said he likes the heat and I should plug the heated mat in for them. Since Saturday was a bit chilly, 68 for a high, I thought that was a good idea.

As soon as I plugged it in Chris was on top of it.

Rose thought it should be on the sofa so she moved it.

Soon Frankie was lying next to it. It seemed like he wanted to feel the heat but he did not want to get too close to Chris. It didn’t work. I found Chris with his head on Frankie’s butt. As soon I got my phone to take the picture, he sat up.

After a while, Chris got up to inspect his food bowls and Floki took his spot.

As I write this on Sunday evening Chris is sleeping on the mat. The last time I looked Floki was on it.

Does anyone else have a heated mat or pet bed? Is it popular?

Meeting with Strays


Frankie and I went for a walk Saturday. We made it to the other side of our next-door neighbor’s house when Frankie spotted a stray.

I have seen this stray many times in the past but not recently. I wasn’t even sure if he or she was still around until my catnip plant was destroyed.

Frankie ran toward the cat but ran out of leash and stopped. That scared the stray who ran to the left toward our house. Soon Frankie lost interest and became interested in a nearby bush. That is when the stray walked by unnoticed.

A little while later we came upon another stray cat that had no fear of Frankie or me being so close.

They howled at each other for a while. I was a little worried a fight might start so I took a step forward and caused the stray to run away. He or she ran under a nearby vehicle and the whole thing started over.

I assume the cat is a female or there would have been fighting sooner, but I don’t know. What do you think?

Update: I was wrong. Frankie did meet strays before. Here are two examples.
