<blockquote>une petite fille de 2 ans a ete enlevee a Grange Marnand Village par un homme de 30 ans barbu. Il etait vetu tout en noir cet homme est de peau noir. Conduisant une voiture bleu foncee plaque : 27B 138 fait Tourner ce message, ca pourrait sauver la vie de cette petite fille. Fait passer a tous tes contacts ! ca te prendra que 2 minutes! Fais le pour la petite

&nbsp;</blockquote>

<p>Soupçons de canular:</p>

<ul>
    <li><span style="line-height: 16px;">c&#8217;est un message en chaîne (déjà rien que ça)</span></li>
    <li>pas de date</li>
    <li>numéro de plaques qui est pas vaudois</li>
    <li>le suspect est noir, bien sûr!</li>
    <li>insistance à la fin du message pour faire passer</li>
    <li>pas de source</li>
    <li>je cherche en ligne, je ne trouve rien</li>
</ul>

<p>Je vais sur la <a href="https://www.facebook.com/policevd">page Facebook de la Police vaudoise</a> et je trouve <a href="https://www.facebook.com/policevd/posts/529635333740951">ceci</a>:</p>

<p><img alt="Screenshot%205/22/13%2011:25" src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/83d524cc-be1e-4c37-8b97-1fe72a7eba0c/44f4ca6be3de1f4359453b20e8f29afe/deep/0/Screenshot%205/22/13%2011:25.png" /></p>

<p>Un autre <a href="https://www.facebook.com/policevd/posts/529636323740852">témoignage corroborant</a>:</p>

<p><img alt="Screenshot%205/22/13%2011:25" src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/4e2787fd-408a-471a-b9ce-66e41301b854/6b5593854426ceb6218b57fb66aef051/deep/0/Screenshot%205/22/13%2011:25.png" /></p>

<p>Mon réseau <a href="https://www.facebook.com/stephtara/posts/10151677005515011">me renseigne</a>:</p>

<p><img alt="Screenshot%205/22/13%2011:28" src="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/sh/29518450-af68-4d39-bcfb-70ea7da1aa15/8fbd3b315a54b645b65b96c8263d35bc/deep/0/Screenshot%205/22/13%2011:28.png" /></p>

<p>Il semble bien que ce message soit une version &#8220;suissifiée&#8221; d&#8217;un autre message français qui faisait référence à Sarcelles-Village (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=460396107376843&amp;id=373900952693026">exemple</a> trouvé rapidement avec Google).</p>

<p><strong>Rappel: les messages qui &#8220;tournent&#8221; sont quasi tous des fakes. Avant de &#8220;transmettre à tous vos contacts&#8221; cherchez une source crédible pour votre info. Dans le cas de ce message qui est en train de tourner, en le transmettant à vos contacts vous contribuez par vos bonnes intentions à renforcer des stéréotypes racistes et augmenter la &#8220;peur de l&#8217;enlèvement&#8221; qui est déjà démesurée face au risque réel.</strong></p>

Two weeks of crazy work upon my return. Then <a href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2013/04/25/kittens/">orphaned kittens</a> at home.</p>

<p>Things are lightening up: the kittens are weaned and clean, the big cats are taking care of them, and they have future homes. Though I have two batches of exams to grade (one now, one early june) my work life is taking a more manageable pace.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been the worst slacker in the <a href="http://bloggingtribe.vedovini.net/">Blogging Tribe</a> experiment. I have a huge backlog of insanely cute kitten photos and videos to process and put online. I&#8217;ve started planting things for my balcony again. The sailing season has started.</p>

<p>Next week&#8217;s objectives: go back to judo, get back into something resembling a blogging habit, and start <a href="http://www.marklauren.com/the-new-book.html">my new exercice regimen</a>.</p>

<p>Longer term? Figure out why despite having identified long ago that I take on too much and need to slow down, and making efforts in that direction, I am failing.</p>

<p>Life is good.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong></p>

<p>This is actually a sad story but it seems to be ending well. My brother&#8217;s mummy-cat disappeared a week after giving birth to her three kittens. She hasn&#8217;t been seen in over a week, so we fear she is gone for good.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s the sad bit.</p>

<p>The happy bit is that we&#8217;re hand-rearing the kittens and everybody is doing great. Expect cuteness.</p>

<p>On a remarqué lors de notre <a href="http://blog-orangech.com/2012/11/15/premier-orange-expert-interview/">premier <em>Expert Interview</em> consacré au service clientèle</a> qu&#8217;il y avait un très fort intérêt pour les activités d&#8217;Orange touchant aux médias sociaux. Pas étonnant de la part de blogueurs…</p>

<p>Du coup, après un deuxième <a href="http://blog-orangech.com/2012/11/15/expert-interview-network/"><em>Expert Interview</em> consacré au réseau</a> (pour le bonheur des geeks et moins geeks), on a décidé de mettre dans la chaise de l&#8217;expert Christoph, spécialiste des médias sociaux chez Orange, et avec qui (accessoirement!) je travaille sur ce mandat. Je suis sûre qu&#8217;il pourra satisfaire votre curiosité et je me réjouis de la discussion.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bb-post-separator"><strong>[fr]</strong></p><div class="other-excerpt" lang="fr"><p class="oe-first-child">La voile et moi. Histoire.</p></div><p class="bb-post-separator"><strong>[en]</strong></p><p><em>Note: I&#8217;ve been thinking of writing this post all afternoon, but put it off because I figured I should illustrate it, and some of the photos I&#8217;d like to use are stuck on this computer because of the bad internet connection I have here. Perfect example of how wanting to do things &#8220;well&#8221; easily leads to doing them &#8220;not&#8221;.</em></p>

<p>My parents met in Scotland, sailing. So, if you&#8217;re one to read signs and stuff, it would come as no surprise that I like sailing. My largely land-bound brother would probably beg to differ.</p>

<p>As far as I can remember, my dad has had a boat of some kind. On Lac de Neuchâtel when we were little, then Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). Holidays on the French canals, in Yugoslavia (nowadays the Croatian islands), and around another lake I can&#8217;t quite clearly remember (Lake Constance?).</p>

<p>I always liked going on the boat, but stuck to doing what I was told, pretty much.</p>

<p>When I came back from India in 2000, I signed up to be waiting-listed for a berth in one of the Lausanne ports. I knew that finding a spot for the boat each year was a bit of a juggling act, and for complicated local political reasons, my dad couldn&#8217;t sign up for one. There was a 10-15 year waiting list, but it cost nothing, and I figured I might as well put myself on the list, just in case it became handy some day down the line.</p>

<p>In 2008, I was very surprised to receive notice that I had been attributed a mooring in Vidy. It was good timing, as the boat had recently been washed ashore after the buoy it was moored to outside the port had broken during a storm. It was damaged, but the insurance would pay. Now it had a safe place to live.</p>

<p>The mooring being in my name, I had to pass my sailing permit. This was a good thing: I&#8217;d been planning on doing it a few years earlier, but life took over and I dropped the project. This was the kick in the pants I needed. I started accompanying my dad and his crew more seriously on their Wednesday evening races, and passed my Swiss sailing permit in fall 2009.</p>

<p>Before I started actually <em>learning</em> how to sail, I remember I used to find it a rather frustrating experience. It was hard to steer the boat in the direction I wanted it to go (though I&#8217;d of course done it in the past, under supervision). I didn&#8217;t understand the wind, or how to trim the sails. A lot of what went on on the boat was a mystery to me.</p>

<p>With time and practice, though, things started to sink in. I started to be able to take the boat roughly where I wanted it to go. I started getting the hang of the sail thing.</p>

<p>With a boat at sea now (here in Torrevieja, Spain), it made sense for me to go one step further and do a sea-based course. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been doing this week &#8212; the <a href="http://serenitysailing.com/course-overview/day-skipper/">RYA Day Skipper</a> course. (I also added in <a href="http://serenitysailing.com/course-overview/power-boat/">Powerboat level 2</a> and <a href="http://serenitysailing.com/course-overview/vhf-dsc-radio/">VHF/DSC operator training</a>, but that was unplanned, icing on the cake.) I learned a lot during this course (if you&#8217;re in Spain and want classes, book with <a href="http://serenitysailing.com/">Serenity Sailing</a> without hesitation), but it also allowed me to realise how far I&#8217;ve come in just a few years. A whole lot of things which I used to find challenging are now almost automatic: I know where the wind is without having to really think of it, for example, because I now pick up on a bunch of signs that give me this information.</p>

<p>So the next step now? Gather a bunch of friends who are interested in a sailing holiday, and charter a boat for a week or two somewhere in some nice sunny islands. Oh, and if you have a powerboat lying around somewhere that needs to be taken out for a spin every now and again, let me know!<strong>Similar Posts:</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the <a href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2013/03/31/irc-joiito-channel-revival-or-at-least-reunion/">resurrection of #joiito</a>, I&#8217;ve been struck by the role our channel bot (<a href="http://joi.ito.com/joiwiki/JiBot">jibot</a>) plays in catalysing interactions between us humans.</p>

<p>Jibot is a topic of discussion as <a href="http://epeus.blogspot.com">Kevin Marks</a> and others tinker with its various incarnations. We teach it stuff, check to see what it knows. We use it to say things about ourselves and others, but also to play (for example with the function &#8220;?cool &lt;username&gt;&#8221; implemented by <a href="http://invisible.ch/">Jens-Christian</a>).</p>

<p>The IRC bot is clearly here a <a href="http://www.zengestrom.com/blog/2007/08/what-makes-a-good-social-object.html">social object</a>. It is an object that generates social interaction. Or maybe more simply, and object that makes us talk about it just by its simple existence. Because jibot is there before us, we have conversations, interact, get to know people that we wouldn&#8217;t have if it hadn&#8217;t been there. And jibot doesn&#8217;t really have to <em>do</em> anything to make that happen; it just has to <em>be</em>.<strong>Similar Posts:</strong></p>

Saw the most impressive rainbow I've ever seen (only iPhone photos, sorry). About to start my Day Skipper course, and interested in taking up kitesurfing.</p></div><p class="bb-post-separator"><strong>[fr]</strong></p><p>Bon, article bateau, je sais, mais avant-hier, je crois bien que j&#8217;ai vu le plus bel arc-en-ciel de ma vie. 180° d&#8217;arc, double arc tout le long, luminosité magnifique, indigo visible. J&#8217;avais bien entendu laissé mon bon appareil de photo au bateau, alors je n&#8217;ai que des photos-iPhone.</p>

<p>Après l&#8217;orage, il fait beau ici à Torrevieja. Environ 20°C dehors (plus au soleil), nuits fraîches, bateau qui tangue juste ce qu&#8217;il faut. Demain, je commence <a href="http://serenitysailing.com/course-overview/day-skipper/">mon cours de voile de 5 jours</a> (<a href="http://www.rya.org.uk/coursestraining/courses/navigation/pages/dayskipper.aspx">Day Skipper</a>) à la fin duquel j&#8217;aurai mon <a href="http://www.rya.org.uk/infoadvice/boatingabroad/icc/Pages/icc.aspx">ICC</a>. Le ICC est le papier qui est généralement demandé pour naviguer en mer dans les eaux territoriales. (Après, il y a ce qu&#8217;on est <em>capable</em> de faire, et c&#8217;est une autre histoire.)</p>

<p>Déjà en octobre dernier, j&#8217;avais remarqué de nombreux kitesurfs dans les parages. Le kitesurf, ça me fait toujours penser à <a href="http://loiclemeur.com/english/">Loïc</a>, avide kitesurfeur. Je me souviens d&#8217;ailleurs d&#8217;une époque où une photo de lui faisant du kitesurf illustrait son blog (ou son compte Facebook? son blog, je crois).</p>

<p>Bref, ça me fait extrêmement envie, et je vais profiter de ces prochains jours pour me renseigner. Je suis sûre qu&#8217;il doit être possible de prendre des cours de kitesurf pour les jours où il y a tellement de vent qu&#8217;on n&#8217;a pas vraiment envie de naviguer!<strong>Similar Posts:</strong></p>

<blockquote>

<p>And another:</p>

<blockquote><p>Subject: Interested in Purchasing Text links Advertising</p>

<p>I am basically interested for business reasons. I found your site:&#8221;http://climbtothestars.org/&#8221; really enchanting and would like to buy a number of text-links on your website. Let me know if you would like to hear more of this.We will provide php file with plugin source code.i need links on your old Post.Give you all instructions.I can offer you a good price.</p></blockquote>

<p>Or:</p>

<blockquote><p>Subject: Partnership with an OTA</p>

<p>Dear Editor,</p>

<p>I would be interested in buying a simple text based advertisement on your website.</p>

<p>The advert will be text, not a visual banner. It will appear on a single page of your website.</p>

<p>The text link will be Travel related ( ex: airplane ticket,airfare, etc.. )</p>

<p>We pay an annual fee to you as soon as the advert is live. It is a straight forward process and we work with you to make sure we fit naturally with your site.</p>

<p>If interested we can also provide you with Unique Travel Articles.</p>

<p>Please let me know if you are interested and I&#8217;ll send you more details.</p>

<p>If Possible can you send me a link of the page where you would accept advertising on?</p></blockquote>

<p>Here is one of the latest, which prompted me to write today:</p>

<blockquote><p>Subject: An Inquiry About an OpenCourseWare Database</p>

<p>I&#8217;m reaching out to you because I was extremely impressed with the content that you have created on digitalcrumble.com/post/306596904/the-copy-editors-old-bugaboo-about-not-using. As a writer and researcher in the education field, I sometimes find it very difficult to track down good web resources for prospective students&#8211;I just wanted to say that you&#8217;ve done a great job with your site.</p>

<p>Do you have any interest in adding a supplemental resource that provides your readers with links to hundreds of OpenCourseWare classes? I think could be really valuable for your site&#8217;s visitors because the classes are free and cover a wide variety of subjects.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re not the right person to contact, can you let me know who is?</p></blockquote>

<p>Adding insult to injury, my silence resulted in <em>three</em> follow-up e-mails over the last months. <strong>Three!</strong> Sure, following up is good. But at some stage it morphs into pestering.</p>

<blockquote><p>Follow-up #1</p>

<p>I wanted to follow up with you and make sure you had received my email I sent a little bit ago regarding my research project, <em>[redacted]</em>.</p>

<p>I had contacted you initially because I believe the readers on your site would find our OpenCourseWare informative and valuable. It would be great to have you include a link to the resource somewhere on your site. Do not hesitate to get back to me with any questions!</p>

<p>Thanks, I look forward to working with you!</p></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote><p>Follow-up #2</p>

<p>I hope all is well! I am writing to follow up with you about the resource &#8212; <em>[redacted]</em> &#8212; I sent you a few days back. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you in regards to it or myself.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help. I look forward to hearing back from you!</p></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote><p>Follow-up #3</p>

<p>I hope this message reaches you well. I am following up with you to see if you had the opportunity to review the resource that I sent you?</p>

<p>Please let me know what you think, I look forward to hearing any feedback you might have.</p></blockquote>

<p>In your book, do these contact attempts qualify as spam? For me, they aren&#8217;t <em>technically</em> spam, as they <em>seem</em> to have been sent out by hand and by human being robots, and therefore do not really meet the criteria for automated mass-sending.</p>

<p>But the end result is pretty much the same. They&#8217;re just noise. How do you deal with them? Respond, or straight to the spam box? Or ignore, at the risk of being pestered?</p>

<p>If you know more about the (misguided?) process that results in this kind of junk arriving in blogger mailboxes, I&#8217;d love to hear about it.</p>

<p>Here are a few other choice morcels for you, and I&#8217;m out to enjoy the Spain sun a while.</p>

<blockquote><p>Subject: Education News Resource Inquiry</p>

<p>I recently came across your page at digitalcrumble.com/post/306596904/the-copy-editors-old-bugaboo-about-not-using.</p>

<p>I am emailing you because I am a contributor to the online education publication, EducationNews.org, and have been active in spreading the message about it. The site is a vast resource of education news from K-12 and higher education policy and politics all the way to education technology. The editorial efforts of the site have been cited by the New York Times, Washington Post and Cato Institute while also being added as an educational resource in the New York Times Education section.</p>

<p>Given the quality of our writing and breadth of topics discussed, I thought this resource could be of interest to you and those who frequently visit your site. Please let me know what you think; if interested, it would be great to see it listed on your site for others to read and refer to.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you soon.</p></blockquote>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<blockquote><p>Subject: Graphic on How Taking a Break is Saving Your Life</p>

<p>My name is Kayla and I came across climbtothestars.org after searching for people that have referenced or mentioned workplace health.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bb-post-separator"><strong>[en]</strong></p><div class="other-excerpt" lang="en"><p class="oe-first-child">Many people without cats -- or with indoor cats -- wonder that I let my cats out (including <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunny/sets/72157633112705571/">at the chalet</a>). Aren't you afraid they'll run off? Well, not too much. Here's how I proceed to introduce my cats to the outside.</p></div><p class="bb-post-separator"><strong>[fr]</strong></p><p>J&#8217;ai des chats depuis à peu près 30 ans. J&#8217;ai toujours eu des chats qui sortaient. Pour moi, un chat, ça sort. Je comprends qu&#8217;on puisse voir les choses autrement, et ce serait peut-être mon cas si je n&#8217;avais pas la possibilité de vivre quelque part de &#8220;chat-compatible&#8221;. (J&#8217;ai <a href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2000/07/26/flat-and-car/">choisi mon appartement exprès</a> pour que mon chat puisse sortir, c&#8217;était une condition sine qua non quand je suis rentrée d&#8217;<a href="http://climbtothestars.org/logbook/">Inde</a> avec <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunny/collections/72157600210295068/">Bagha</a>.) Après, bien sûr, c&#8217;est tout à fait possible de <a href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2009/04/04/la-detention-convenable-du-chat-dappartement/">s&#8217;occuper convenablement d&#8217;un chat d&#8217;intérieur</a> &#8212; mais c&#8217;est du boulot!</p>

<p>Souvent, on me demande &#8212; et j&#8217;ai même entendu ça de gens habitant le même immeuble que moi! &#8212; &#8220;mais t&#8217;as pas peur qu&#8217;il se taille?&#8221;</p>

<p>Alors voilà, une réponse sous forme d&#8217;article. Non je n&#8217;ai pas peur (enfin pas <em>trop</em> peur), et voici pourquoi.</p>

<p>D&#8217;abord, les préliminaires. Avant de sortir, le chat doit</p>

<ol>
<ol>
    <li>être à l&#8217;aise avec moi et venir (au moins un peu) quand je l&#8217;appelle</li>
    <li>être bien dedans</li>
</ol>
</ol>

<p>Le chat est territorial. Si c&#8217;est clair pour lui que dedans c&#8217;est son territoire, là où il y a du chaud, du doux, du miam, du glou, du ronron et des câlins, il ne va pas prendre ses cliques et ses claques comme ça et foutre le camp.</p>

<p>Par contre, le chat est un animal de nature plutôt timide. Il faut en tenir compte.</p>

<p>Pour sortir un chat, il y a pour moi deux clés:</p>

<ol>
<ol>
<ul>
    <li>y aller graduellement, avec possibilité de retraite rapide</li>
    <li>l&#8217;accompagner pour s&#8217;assurer qu&#8217;il continue de me &#8220;reconnaître&#8221; dehors</li>
</ul>

<p>La plupart des chats, quand ils explorent un nouvel extérieur, ils font 20m en avant, puis reviennent 20m en arrière, puis repartent 30m, reviennent, repartent un peu plus loin, etc. Bien sûr il y a toujours des <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCqv78TcsW4">exceptions comme Tounsi qui filent droit devant eux</a> &#8212; mais on peut faire avec, j&#8217;en reparle. Si quelque chose fait peur au chat, il va plutôt essayer de revenir en terrain connu plutôt que de partir droit devant lui (mais ça peut arriver).</p>

<p>J&#8217;ai gardé mes nouveaux chats <a href="http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2012/04/08/three-weeks-with-my-new-cats-tounsi-and-safran/">Tounsi et Safran à l&#8217;intérieur 3 semaines</a> à peine, et c&#8217;était peut-être un peu juste. Ils ne me connaissaient pas avant, donc n&#8217;étaient encore pas vraiment en confiance. Avec Bagha, j&#8217;ai attendu beaucoup moins longtemps, mais c&#8217;était un chat que je connaissais et avec qui j&#8217;avais déjà vécu de longs mois.</p>

<p>Apprendre à un chat à venir quand on l&#8217;appelle (quand il veut bien) ce n&#8217;est pas extrêmement compliqué, avec un petit sachet de friandises. (On peut même aller plus loin et faire un peu de <a href="http://www.clickertraining.com/">clicker training</a>, ce qui est une excellente façon de créer un lien avec le chat.) Si le chat pige la fonction du sachet de friandises à l&#8217;intérieur, il y a toutes les chances que ça marche aussi dehors.</p>

<p>Avant de mettre le nez dehors, le chat doit bien entendu être pucé (faites d&#8217;ailleurs pucer même vos chats d&#8217;intérieur &#8212; c&#8217;est quand ils se retrouvent dehors de façon imprévue que la puce est utile!). Personnellement je prends une précaution supplémentaire: je mets au chat un collier avec une étiquette indiquant son nom et mon numéro de téléphone.</p>

<p>Pour Bagha, comme vous voyez ci-dessous, ça m&#8217;a été extrêmement utile pour indiquer aux gens chez qui il allait s&#8217;installer qu&#8217;il ne fallait pas le nourrir ni le garder longtemps dedans (il était vraiment sans-gêne, sans être tout à fait aussi envahissant que Tounsi).</p>

<p>Ensuite, il faut commencer par le début. La porte d&#8217;entrée. Pour que le chat revienne, il faut qu&#8217;il soit super familier avec &#8220;l&#8217;extérieur&#8221; juste derrière la porte. Alors on ouvre la porte, on la laisse ouverte, on sort, on laisse sortir le chat, qui probablement filera dedans au premier bruit un peu inquiétant. Il faut le laisser ressortir à sa vitesse. Si c&#8217;est un chat craintif et visiblement trop flippé, l&#8217;attirer dehors à coups de friandises (mais pas trop loin).</p>

<p>Je ne fais des séances &#8220;extérieur&#8221; trop longues au début. J&#8217;accompagne le chat, primo pour garder un oeil sur lui, deuxio pour qu&#8217;il s&#8217;habitue à ma présence dehors aussi. De temps en temps je l&#8217;appelle et je lui présente une friandise, histoire qu&#8217;il associe ma présence &#8220;en extérieur&#8221; à une gâterie.</p>

<p>Une fois que le chat commence à être à l&#8217;aise, peut-être après quelques sorties, il va s&#8217;éloigner de plus en plus. Là aussi je l&#8217;accompagne, et je profite pour l&#8217;encourager à rester dans les zones extérieures que j&#8217;aimerais qu&#8217;il s&#8217;approprie. Par exemple, chez moi, il y a quand même des routes pas loin. Je passe donc beaucoup de temps avec les chats devant et autour de l&#8217;immeuble, pour être sûre qu&#8217;ils sont bien là. Quand ils partent dans une direction que je ne veux pas encourager, je les rappelle (friandise) et je les invite ailleurs. (C&#8217;est comme ça que je me retrouve à &#8220;promener les chats&#8221;, au grand amusement de mon entourage.)</p>

<p>Une fois que j&#8217;ai pu constater que le chat était à l&#8217;aise dans son environnement extérieur immédiat, qu&#8217;il connaît le chemin du retour (je l&#8217;aurai régulièrement appelé pour le faire rentrer, puis ressortir, puis rentrer, puis ressortir…), je commence avec les sorties non supervisées &#8212; ou supervisées depuis le pas de la porte.</p>

<p>Voilà en gros comment je m&#8217;y prends!</p>

<p>Avec Tounsi et Quintus, j&#8217;ai deux chats assez différents. Tounsi était probablement un chat voyageur: il n&#8217;avait aucune peur ou appréhension dans un environnement nouveau, par contre, revenait en courant comme un petit chien lorsque je l&#8217;appelais, et me suivait. Le souci ça a été les premières sorties sans supervision (il allait loin, et je l&#8217;ai laissé faire trop vite). J&#8217;ai donc rétrogradé aux sorties surveillées et fait beaucoup beaucoup de tours d&#8217;immeuble avec lui.</p>

<p>Quintus est plus peureux. Il a peur du couloir. Peu après qu&#8217;on ait commencé à le laisser sortir, il a &#8220;fugué&#8221;. J&#8217;étais en vacances et ma catsitteuse n&#8217;était pas très rassurée! (Pas malin de partir, mais j&#8217;avais des soucis &#8220;intérieurs&#8221; avec les chats et c&#8217;était vraiment important de le laisser sortir &#8212; et c&#8217;est un chat que je connaissais déjà un peu.) En fait il était planqué à une dizaine de mètres de l&#8217;immeuble, ne réagissait pas quand on l&#8217;appelait, et avait peur de l&#8217;entrée. A mon retour j&#8217;ai fait une grande opération &#8220;séduction en extérieur&#8221; pour qu&#8217;il comprenne que venir vers moi quand on était dehors était gustativement intéressant <img src='http://climbtothestars.org/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Quand à ses jours de fugue, on avait la chance de pouvoir lui laisser l&#8217;accès au <a href="http://eclau.ch">bureau</a> ouvert la nuit, avec eau et croquettes. Pas idéal, mais ça a marché.</p>

<p>La semaine dernière au chalet, j&#8217;ai sorti les deux chats d&#8217;un coup après 36h environ. Ils étaient bien peinards dans le chalet, et Tounsi commençait à faire la vie pour sortir (il fait normalement ses besoins dehors). Il n&#8217;y a pas de dangers immédiats autour du chalet, il me restait plusieurs jours avant de devoir redescendre, alors je me suis lancée. Je suis sortie avec Tounsi, j&#8217;ai laissé la porte ouverte, Quintus a suivi. Tounsi a filé assez vite chez les voisins, et je l&#8217;ai suivi &#8212; Quintus aussi. J&#8217;ai perdu de vue Quintus près de leur chalet. Après un moment j&#8217;ai appelé Tounsi pour le rentrer et je suis partie à la recherche de Quintus &#8212; en vain. De retour au chalet, je suis accueillie par deux chats: Quintus était en fait rentré tout seul au chalet bien avant, sans que je le voie! J&#8217;ai donc ensuite simplement pris soin de laisser la porte du chalet entrebâillée quand les chats étaient dehors, et d&#8217;aller les rapercher à coups de friandises après 15-30 minutes. (Sortie du chalet <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunny/sets/72157633112705571/">en photos</a> et <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCqv78TcsW4">en vidéo</a>.
