You, sir, are observant--and have confirmed my lifelong study of the feline. I had a cat that took it upon himself to chew through the power cord of my police scanner whilst I was taking my afternoon nap. Of course, as soon as he connected himself to the DC current, he began to have seizures which --for some time--were confined to under the bedspring. At this point I began to awake and was immediately faced with a demon cat that was propelling itself through muscle contractions alone at least six feet into the air. When I got to the veterinary, spattered with cat urine, said feline had calmed down, had a Valium, and stayed overnight. I ran 18 red lights (give or take).
THAT DARN CAT!
