Fun:Cat
From RationalWiki
A cat is a small, adorable, source of food (especially amongst Dwarven people, who constantly battle with the ever-growing number of cats that adopt them in order to avoid a catsplosion).[1] Since they are not a dog or a rabbit, they are fair game for killing, skinning, and eating. They are sources of many internet macros or memes (see below).
A cat was commonly a witch's familiar, especially a black one. Anyone who has lived alone with a cat will appreciate their demonic disdain. To look into the eyes of a cat at midnight is to flirt with self destruction.
[edit] Cats in innovation
Percy Shaw invented the cat's eye[wp] after seeing his cat enter the room. If he had seen it leave, he might have instead invented the pencil sharpener.
Arthur Paul Pedrick[wp] credited his cat "Ginger" as inspiration for or as co-inventor on many of his patents.
