Cats and audiophiles

In our yard, we have a couple of tree rats, I mean, squirrels. One in particular, we call Fatso, he teases the crap out of the cats. He runs up to the windows and paws
and taps them as hard as he can, then stands on his hind legs and sort of grimaces at them. Quite funny. Of course we feed the squirrels whole peanuts, which they take delight in tauting the cats while eating. I did open the door once and Crash, the alpha male dove for one but the squirrels ran like hell up the tree. Crash thought better of it. Crash did have a run in with a groundhog. Crash lost that battle but his brother and sisters ( all four have the same ma and pa) were in awe of him for taking that critter on.

Movies: apparently there is a DVD with cats meowing and
birds chirping that is suppose to entrall cats, but I have not seen it anywhere.

On the animal planet channel when the lions and tigers come on they watch very intently.

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave to the leash. That is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat"---Mark Twain

"When I play with my cat, who knows if I am a pastime to her more than she is to me?"---Montaigne

"A cat has absolutely emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another may hide their feelings, but a cat does not"----Ernest Hemingway ( BTW, the descendents of EH's cats are all over Key West---most are polytactyls)

"The smallest feline is a masterpiece"---Leonardo da Vinci

"If you want to know the character of a man, find out what his cat thinks of him"----Anonymous

If you asked a dog to jump off a cliff he would be stupid enough to do it. If you asked a cat he would look at you and look at the cliff and say "If you think a dog is man's
best friend why don't you jump off with him", turn around and go find something to eat.
