2. I can see how that could happen

Fortunately, the worst things our cats have done (yet) are walk on the computer keyboard and type qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqnnnnnnn23423 and step on the TV remote and change the channel!

3. The cats in question survived, of course!

I'm telling you, they're up to something!

I expect they're working on a list of demands... hence, the typing attempts and TV remote experiments!

6. You know how cats jump on your newspaper when you're reading it?

They know the news is always awful - they don't want you to read it. I really do think there is "more passing in their minds than we are aware of."

12. See! I told ya'll!

You just can't trust cats as anything but fricassee! Maybe as a stew. IMHO the safest way to deal with cats involves explosives.
