NEW question!
===

This is a NextGen question.

Data was once concerned about the well-being of his cat, and asked
one crewmember to catsit for him while he sorted out the odd
dreams he was having. He gave extensive instructions as to
Spot's care and so on.

A) Who did he entrust Spot to?

B) What did that crewmember promise to do?

Question, prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

A) He asked Worf to watch Spot for him.
Worf picked up Spot and held him/her (Spot was male until the
episode she had kittens) at arm's reach while Data gave instructions.
Data told him Spot would need fresh water and a litterbox, and
which feline supplement Spot preferred.
"Also, talk to him. Tell him he is a pretty cat, and a good cat...."

B) Worf's entire answer to that last comment:
"I WILL FEED HIM."

Eventually, I found out that Data said something like
"That should be sufficient."
It took a while becasuse I was laughing too hard for anyone to hear
the response. smile

LOL!
How on Earth did I forget that!

And speaking of Spot, do you know any explanation to its many changes?

Same explanation as O'Brien's changing rank:
the writers weren't paying attention, and thought no one else would.

Since the invention of the Nitpicker's Guild, they put a LOT more
time into maintaining continuity.

As you all may remember (from the episodes or the last trivia thread),
Data once wrote a poem to his cat,
"Ode to Spot."

Give ANY of the lyrics-FROM MEMORY, no looking it up anywhere.

Bonus for bragging points:
what episode besides "Schisms" featured part of this poem, and
who recited it?

This is also NextGen.

What is Picard's preferred breakfast?

Yes, it was mentioned specifically at one point.

Not only the writers weren't paying attention... what did they do, grab the first cat they could find? It was always different, at some point I wonder if it was a changelling or something 'cause it wasn't the same colour.

I usually pay a LOT more attention to the dialogue than the visuals,
so it's not a surprise I missed Spot's appearance changing all the
time.

Seems to be a lull online in general.

Give them a little time.

this week was finals, for my college, at least. Once summer comes in full swing, the heartbeat may resume a bit...

Sorry, I keep forgeting than people living in the other hemisphere doesn't have the same schedules as I have. *smiles sheepishly* I had exams at the end of last month and finals are in June.

*reads script*
"I am very fond of ladies with the two lovely hemispheres."

(No, wait-that's not right.)

*corrects script*
"I am very fond of the lovely ladies of the two hemispheres."

(That's much better.)

Hell Yeah! I memorized this for an English test once! My teached was a trekkie... It ROCKED! I even memorized the correct spelling, although that took me Forever. Check it out!

Felis Catus 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 aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotions.

Oh, Spot, the complex levels of behavior 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.

Oh, yeah, Bragging Rights! Riker recited the poem in the episode "A Fist Full of Datas," 'CAUSE THAT'S MY FAVOURITE EPISODE! BOOH-YAH!
