For anybody who wants it --

Has it ever occurred to any of you that Nuku Nuku doesn't actually act
much like a cat at all?  She's   She's a loving, caring individual,
dedicated to her "family", friendly to everyone, sweet, gentle (usually),
etc etc etc...

Whereas, much as I love cats, they are not the most sociable of animals.
They are extremely self-centred, they do exactly what they want to do,
they display affection (to humans at least) only when they want something
in return -- food, petting, etc -- in short, they're not too similar
to Nuku Nuku at all.

I wonder why?

Could it be that when Kyusaku planted her brain in his android shell,
he added some behavioural override parameters?  To make her a bit more
socially acceptable, perhaps, or to make her a better "companion" for
his son?  Could it be that Nuku Nuku is _forced_ to be nice all the
time?  If so, I wonder what she's _really_ thinking underneath?

I wonder what would happen if somehow her behavioural overrides got
switched off?

Make of it what you will ...

Cheers,
Angus
