Well, my evil small furry master knows his name - when I call him, he even responds with a purr/meow sound that has an interrogatory note that for all the world sounds like the tone I use when I say "What?"...

As for intelligence, I've met cats that were "dumb as a box of rocks" and ones that were so smart they were almost spooky.

<a href="http://www.sff.net/people/DoyleMacdonald/l_tober.htm" target="_blank">Tobermory</a> is a short story about a clever cat by the very witty <a href="http://www.trill-home.com/saki/" target="_blank">Saki</a>(1870-1916). I love the thought of some devout Jehovah�s Witness reading his classic <a href="http://www.users.bigpond.com/burnside/sredni.htm" target="_blank">Sredni Vashtar</a> or <a href="http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/People/rgs/sk-music.html" target="_blank">The Music on the Hill</a>. I find his black humour irresistible, (as well as his politics appalling/detestable, but that�s another story...)

Tobermory is one of my favourite stories. I think Saki's wit is rather like Wilde's.

Hmmm, next time I see a watchtower anywhere, I'll take it home to put it in the litterbox, so Obi and Chewie can piss and crap on it.

Anyone ever had Catz on their system?(computercats; pretty funny stuff.)

Something just occured to me.. you know the bit about diseases present in cat feces?

Well Duh! Don't these people wash their hands after changing the litter box?

Note to self - do not eat dinner at author's house!
