Confirms what I always suspected.
Which reminds me of the Weekly World News headline I once saw, which no doubt set off several cases of paranoia: IS YOUR PET A SPACE ALIEN ?

Well, if cats are space aliens, we have nothing to worry about.

Apparently all they want us to do is wait on them hand and foot for the rest of their natural lives, and our only punishment is an occasional vicious bloody scratch down the arm or face.

Nothing we can't handle, right? Plus it's a great way of doing penance. Got a lot of sins to atone for? Get a cat! wink

We had a cat when I was little. My Mohter got pregnant with my little brother when we had the cat. My Ukrainian Granny made us get rid of the cat. Maybe that explains why I sometimes answer to other names?

Not to be a party pooper frown cat scratches can't always be handled. http://www.drgreene.com/21_821.html

These are some of the reasons she insisted that you get rid of the cat.
