Hisssss! Tolkien's descriptions of cats posted above by Squatter and Sharku are ridiculous and are probably due to an early childhood incident. Irrational fear or loathing of animals usually does. Perhaps little Ronald was tormenting a cat and the cat fought back. Harumph. I have owned 11 cats within the last 6 years, and only one of them displayed an inkling of the grossly exaggerated stero-type of unpleasent cats.
Cats are very much like Hobbits, so there!
You're probably wondering why I've gone through so many cats. Don't ask. I still have nightmares. I'll only say...death to all hawks...speeders...and others....
