|  |     For the sheer delight of being contradictory (which he
    does just to annoy me ;-), my husband has taken to
    calling this phenomena "squishing toads", since he very
    logically said that cats just don't knead bread, but they
    could very well squish toads.  Of course, since I said I
    thought it sounded awful, he uses it quite often now!  ;-)
    
    Silly me...

    CAT ARRANGING - that hobby which involves rearranging the parts of a
    soundly-sleeping cat for the sheer pleasure of making him (or her) look
    very silly.
    
    I have to attribute this one to Andy :^}

    HUMAN ARRANGING - rearranging your body to make yourself fit around
                      a sleeping, nonmovable cat, which refuses to move
                      to a less populated portion of your bed or couch
                      while you are trying to sleep or nap.

    N.  The sound a 14-week old kitten makes after
        burning rubber on your kitchen linoleum
    	and, being unable to stop, crashing into
        the baseboard.  Accidentally getting spray
        starch on the linoleum while ironing tends 
    	to enhance this effect to near hysterical proportions.

    The sound of Carrie cat using the electric cat caller (can opener)

    sound of the audience wondering when she is going to learn to 
    actually open something for them with that thing.
    
    Jan
    
    P.S.  I can't believe she's actually learned to hit the top of the
          can opener and make it work.  I've had to start leaving it
          unplugged so she doesn't do it when I'm not home.  Don't want
          her to hurt herself either.

    CATBUSHING, the act of stalking and (attempting to) take down large

    Usually late a night, when the owner is groggy, on way to bed.

|  | kibble-dust - what your cats leave in the food dish when they will ONLY eat
half of a kibble...no matter how small the kibble piece is, only half
of it is eaten.  The other half is dropped back into the bowl...then
the next cat picks it up and eats half of it...eventually, you find all
four cats looking forlornly into the dish - which you discover is full
of kibble-dust....totally inedible because the bits are too small to be
halved.
