Catmandon't (what's in a clever title, anyway?)

Stuff I know about cats:

1. Cleopatra had a thing for them. The Spin Doctors wrote a song about it that propelled their career to new heights of greatness.
2. A girl I worked with at US Bank let them shred her couch, and crawl around in the stuffing. Her number was 'misplaced'.
3. One of them wore a hat. Hijinks and significant property damage ensued.
4. They can lower blood-pressure and relieve some depression. They can also cause both after found chewing on stereo cables.
5. Sarah wants one.
6. They are more expensive than a goldfish,or stuffed animal.
7. Their pet dander makes my throat close-up. I like breathing.
8. Sarah wants one.
