I have named this video “And the Mouse Died of Boredom”:
I swear he does move. The really irritating thing about this is that I have to hide that toy from him. If I leave it sitting somewhere, I will hear him grab it and drag it through the house. Now, I put it right in front of him, and he just looks at me disgusted.
The Tunchcam is turning out to be rather anticlimactic.

My goodness, his fur looks so incredibly soft, doesn’t it?

I’m pretty sure I just wet the couch a little.
What time can you go get Shayla, John?
Seriously. She would be all over that comatose mouse and Tunch would be so jealous/keyed up/confused he would be forced to stand up and DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING!
God that was funny.
I hope this is a trilogy? I’ll go get more wine and empty my bladder.
Marked Hoosier
Now I have to go listen to more Primus…

He is SOOOOO messing with your brain.

@Laura W:
Yes, Trilogy!! Make it a trilogy!
His “What?” look is classic
I’m betting his falls asleep in the final sequel.

You need a timelapse video.
If you have a Mac at home, iMovie can do it. I used iMovie to make a timelapse video of my scorpion eating a goldfish.

Live “action” Tunch is the kind of thing the Internet was created for. My new favorite thing ever.
Krista
R-Jud, if you’re still around, I finally got around to putting the recording of Spawn of Krista’s heartbeat on YouTube, if you’re interested. It might bring back some nice memories for you. :)

I know that look, it’s the look that says “And I should care, why?” If I had a nickel for everytime I’ve gotten that look from one of my animal companions, well it would pay for all their food over the years.

Laura, are you still jumping? I had to take a break, but am soooo looking forward to this weekend. I plan to spend the whole weekend outside riding, jumping and walking. Rain be damned.
John Cole
@Krista: I’ve never met a softer cat, tbh. But he is pretty pampered, too. I brush him daily.

Finally my hard-won ability to sit all the way through Last Year at Marienbad and L’Avventura pays off.
Could you at least get Monica Vitti pouting in one of these videos? Or some Italian dialogue with enigmatic subtitles?
He’s screwing with your head, Cole. He knows you want action, and he’s withholding it. That cat is pure evil.
Tattoosydney
Cole, he’s definitely fucking with you now.
At 0.5, he forgets himself and goes to play with it, and you can see him stop, divert the paw, do his “I’m staring over here ” face, quickly followed by his “direct stare at you, what are you going to do about it, monkey?” face.

Au contraire! Tunchcam is mesmerizingly awesome.
growingdaisies
“Human, you fail to amuse me,” is what he seems to be emanating.
Loneoak
I’m waiting for the keyboard cat to play Tunch off the screen.

He’s definitely defying you, John. I think he’s a doll, and I will watch him lay there if that’s all he chooses to do. Kisses, Tunchie!
Anne Laurie
Wait’ll you add The New Guy to the household. That’s usually good for something between a community-theatre version of Aida and one of Michael Bay’s lower-budget productions.
Also, I don’t think Tunch shares your taste in music. Tough life, Mr. Tunch…
russell
What Tunch is saying is “What is that f**king music and where the hell is it coming from?”

The adoptee cat is calling for you John, she is sat in her cage at the shelter, cold and alone, with no scritches, and no furminating, and cold, and alone, and she dreams of you, her tiny body twitches at night as she thinks of a warm hand stroking her, and scritching her head. And she wakes, in a cold and lonely cell, remembering your face and the head bumps, and she waits. She remembers that face, that human that perhaps gave a moment of hope, a hope of a home, a forever home. With you?
Jon H
He’s moving… in dimensions you can’t even imagine.
Seanly
I don’t mean to sound nasty, but maybe he doesn’t like your music selection. What was that playing in the background?
Tony Alva
Tunch: The Bogwan of Boredem
He’s still a good boy though….
T. Scheisskopf
Jeebus John, you’ve given him brain damage with the welding music. No wonder he is uneffected by external stimuli.
NutellaonToast
Hey there lard ass cat, have you heard the brand new sound?
You’re a real internet star, why won’t you move around?
