The cat hates when Rufus wears one. Cat won't talk to him, gets wicked pissed

It's okay. Rufus took care of the cat.

"Cats are not domesticated. They're the only animal that can walk out of your home and survive on its own."

Your right about that. I have never met nor heard of a dumb cat too.

I read somewhere that toxoplasmosis may be implicated in the development of schizophrenia. There was an upswing in cases noted around the turn of the last century, which coincided with an increase in keeping cats indoors (with a corresponding increase in the exposure to cat feces). It explains the crazy lady tendency toward keeping a lot of cats.

Do you ever wonder why they don’t have mouse flavored cat food?

Funny how newborn kittens don’t look much different from mice.

Hey, maybe they do. I’ve never tasted either cat food or mouse. :’) Probably all of it is made out of mouse, they just don’t wanna freak out anyone by putting it on the label.

Hey, cat scientists probably invented it, but because they sleep 16 hours a day, someone else took credit for it.

...the new populations of village kitties to make them increasingly docile.

"Docile" is not a word to be used when describing my Killer Kat.

I love that cartoon. I used to have a T-shirt with it and got lots of smiles from it, especially from chicks.

I kept it til it rotted away into tatters.
