Cats

From The Maze Where Realities Converge - the psychedelic encyclopedia of reality from The Ultimate Comment

Domestic cats are small mammals that are mainly kept as pets.
They are characterised by:

• A tail that is kept upwards for balance when walking, twitches when the cat is upset and used for balance when jumping or in many cases leaping great distances;
• Pointy ears atop their heads which have the ability to turn through 180° independant of each-other to follow and locate sounds;
• An ability to retract their claws and walk silently on most surfaces;
• Charecteristic noises ("Miaowing") and "Purring" (Both being onomatopaeic);
• A liking for warm places;
• A strong sense of independence.

Some cats also have the following abilities:

• Sitting on the only piece of non-floor surface no matter how tiny it is;
• Attacking birds, small rodents and fish;
• Incessant demanding for food;
• Sleeping inside cars when you don't realize they're doing it and drive off;
• Attacking everything on site (may or may not be temporary);
• Spontaneous psychotic behaviour.
• Moving swiftly through crowded spaces without coming into contact with anything

Many owners have more than one cat and the interaction between the two cats may be difficult to predict, though in most cases nothing worse than a grudging acceptance of each other's presence.

Recent research seems to suggest that regular people have cats in their brains.

Cats on the internet

It is worth noting that pretty much the entire Internet is about cats: cats in sinks, cats wearing skirts, cats watching cats watching cats, and all that sort of bullshit.
