And new research suggests the benefits of cat ownership may even go beyond pain relief. According to the study, presented Thursday at the American Stroke Association meeting in New Orleans, cat owners may actually be less likely to die from heart attack, stroke or other types of cardiovascular disease.

I heard cats can give you the gout.

One of mine gives me respiratory problems. Mainly at night when I'm trying to go to sleep. He sits on my chest, purrs, and expects to be worshiped in return. He weighs 20 pounds.

I think that only happens if you eat to many of them.

It must be a side effect of them sucking out all of your breath when you are sleeping.

I been hanging out with the WRONG kittycats!

They cause heart attacks, not prevent them!

Tigger and Samantha usta play Indianapolis 500 up and down the hallway at 3 in the morning -- a person could have nightmares about being trampled by a herd of heffalumps!

Mork could raise the dead with infernal hooooooooooooooowling. What a voice! What a range! He coulda put Pavarotti outta business if he could carry a tune.

Clayton was MrToughGuy in his younger days, and you could hear the fights into the next block. Why is 3 a.m. the best time for noisy kittycat activity? MRRAAOW, FFT! FFT!

MissYetiGirl must be related to GSabc's 20-pound purring lump of fuzz -- she jumps up on the bed and tries to cuddle up, 3 a.m. again! I rouse myself and throw her in the garage or outside.

My next kittycat will be one of those sweetiepie calicos who never cause one second of trouble.

I erased the part about eating cats, as I was fearful it would insult some.

Shows what I know.

I'm insulted that you erased it. I'm always interested in feliphage trends. What did I miss?

I erased it before I hit post, so you just missed what was in my head, not what was in print.

Beedums used to say he liked cats - they were good eating - or something like that.

Beedums has the gout.

That is about all you missed.

Except that I do a bad Beedums impression.

Unless you ask wb, who for the longest time was convinced Beedums and I were one in the same.

feliphage

I acted like I knew what it meant, when I had no clue.

Not too much on the internet about it, although I did find this:

Any feliphage will tell you that if you eat the cat unskinned with its fur still attached you get the ultimate self-flossing meal.
