Cats: Foul minions of evil, horrible, finger-lickin'-unpleasant things! (IMHO)

I've known cats like that. Those are also the same ones that you're convinced *must*
have an eyeball in their anus, because that's the part that's always peeking around
the corner.

I've also got to point out the little "spraying" problem that some cats seem to have;
there is a definite smell to them, and I can usually tell immediately if a cat lives
in a house, before seeing a single cat hair. While I know more cats who mess nastily
in forbidden areas, I also know cats who can use the toilet and flush it (a bizarre
thing to see), so it may vary from cat to cat.

Oooh! Oooh! Fun? Can I turn it into a Gender Issue™? Please? I'll just bring up
the saying that I can't remember the attribution of, but which still strikes me as
generally true in mood:
"Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick
cats."
Now, I wouldn't kick a cat, but I don't like cats unless they act "doggy." The only
cats that have fit this bill have been what I call "amoebacats"--the amorphous masses
of cat, usually neutered and 7-8 years in age, that slowly undulate around a home (or
not). These things sometimes even have a perceptible cat head or a cat leg sticking
out here or there, but it's hard to confirm, because they end up nearly flush to the
floor from all the hair. It's eating that makes them truly amoebic; they almost
engulf their dishes and sort of sit "over" the food bowl, giving the unnerving
spectacle of a crunching, vibrating mass of fur sitting in the kitchen. They do make
good lap cats, however, and they're easy to catch--but one must be patient to get
them to fetch. :(
best,
