   I had a cat like that. I once watched her muscle my favorite tea mug off the bookshelf she wanted to lie on. Naturally the mug broke.

   All cats are like that.

   Seems exactly right. I have a cat who gets a wild hair every so often to knock everything off of my desk, and the other cats managed to throw my laptop on the floor last night.

   Bengals are worst. I took my friend a kitten, and that kitten (Angus) immediately jumped up and strolled along a high shelf, knocking off each in turn of a valuable collection of hand-painted plates featuring native American chiefs. My friend was almost juggling, catching each plate. He still adores that cat.

   Angus also attacked a nasty man from the Council. Ambushed him when he went for a pee, waited crouched in bathroom sink! Man never came back. My Bengal’s called Salem. I don’t have a cup with a handle, or an uncracked plate. Why do we do it?

   Cats: Everything is in their way, they are in everyone’s way. It all balances out. </cat math>

   You can have a cat, or you can have fancy plates. Pick one. By the way, the cat can be cuddled.

   @#6: if it wants to be – and when it wants to be it had better be cuddled …

   A few years ago a friend who was an avid chess player had five or six beautiful sets set up on shelves in his den. He told me he was thinking of getting a cat. I supported the idea but told him we first had to have a little talk. One glass-front display cabinet and one mustachioed tuxedo kitteh later, everyone was happy.

   Rule of cat toys:
   Everything on the floor is a cat toy.

   Corollary of rule of cat toys:
   Everything can be knocked onto the floor.

   Clarification:
   Any horizontal surface constitutes “the floor.”
