Another fun thing to do with cats: do a staring contest and see who blinks first.

And another good thing about cats. They have legal drugs, which for a while whacks them out, then they gotta pass out for a couple of hours. Come to think of it, they do that anyway . They are pretty nice creatures considering that they are essentially designed to be killing machines (if you're a bird or rodent), For us, they just puke everywhere. That'll piss us off.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?

Wait, are we talking actual puke or gacking up hairballs? By the way cat piss is one of the most vile smelling substances I've ever encountered. Fortunately, Squeakey uses her box.

The old guy, he has a sensitive stomach, so no we're not just talking hairballs, unfortunately. Been that way since day one, when we rescued him out of a horse trough. He eats. He pukes. Never had any problem with the piss
He used to be one of those 3:30 AM guys up on the bed, but his hips are shot and he can't jump that high any longer

my cat usually gaks if he overeats, hasn't had too many furballs this year though, he eats grass like it's tunafish which also promotes gakage

We are a family of three and we have a cat each - and they've pretty much bonded with their respective 'owner', though since Alex has been at Uni her cat has decided that I'm an adequate substitute until she comes home again (then I don't exist as far as the cat's concerned).

More fun things to do with your cat. Take a couple of fingers and press down the ears to a horizontal position and repeat after me Yoda, Yoda.

Cats easily
Dogs are loyal and therefore idiots

We did it few months ago ! Cat's won on that case too but in this poll they are doing so well I didn't even bother to vote.
It seems that prog lovers are also Cat lovers and I can't explain it but somehow this looks very natural to me.
And as Baldfriede said we (human beings) domesticated dogs, cows, horses, chicken and lots of other animals. The cats domesticated us !
