Domo Training: A Scientific Study by Chao, Chen, et al.

Siamese Smiles in Sink

Happiness is hogging the sink when the human needs it, and looking so cute the human has to go to another bathroom to wash her face.

Domo Pillow

Here's a Domo pillow I saw in a store in Cambria, California. It was an expensive place so I didn't even bother looking at the price tag, but maybe one day I can make one.

Kitty Hacker

Here's something one step above butt-dialing: Domo dialing. The other human asked me why I called him, so I went downstairs and caught Domo on the counter (which I had been removing him from all afternoon) next to my charging phone. Domo had called his other human.


His hacking isn't limited to phones. Early on, he fixed my temperamental Dell laptop, which got the blue screen of death the first day it arrived and whenever a stupid human presses the "Dell media center" button instead of the "On" button, the laptop gets stuck in a blue screen that says "Missing NTLDR" and refuses to enter Windows. It's very hard to fix that. Below is a picture of Domo fixing the laptop the day after he arrived (by walking all over it). He also IMs my family members and friends and presses enter after he types his secret message to them.

Cat Under Bed

Domo head coming out from under the bed. He'd fallen asleep with just his head poking out, but by the time I took this picture his eyes were just about open. His face looks like a creepy Japanese fox spirit.

The Kitties are Finally Sleeping Together!

Well, until Yoda saw me and walked away, annoyed.
Domo: o_o Big Kitty, come back...


Fifteen minutes later, they were fighting again.

Domo Smiles in His Sleep

Domo right now. An upside-down V is a Domo smile.


Stretchy stretchy!

Video Game Kitty

Domo seems to think people/things live inside laptops and televisions. He sniffs, paws, listens, and is utterly fascinated. Here, he's enthusiastically following Esther's character on the screen in Harvest Moon. He's also been known to take off with the Wii sensor.


After Esther left we played a video with Esther's voice on the laptop, and he began sniffing it like crazy, rubbing it and pawing the screen. Domo loves Esther.

Domo in the Sink

While the human fixed her hair before going out to make a special cat litter run, Domo demonstrated for the first time his ability to jump on top of the bathroom counter and also how much he enjoyed a nice oval sink. Later, he fell asleep there.

Domo Likes Decaf Green Tea

Domo, stealer of human tea and tormentor of old kitty, stops to enjoy some decaffeinated green tea in a special cat bowl from human's mom. (Apparently, green tea helps prevent/fight cancer in kitties. Go Domo.)

Domo Loves Catnip Fish

Many thanks to Aunt Mimi for her handmade catnip fish. Domo humped it and then licked himself, and Yoda is still snuggling with it like it is the love of his life.
