Regarding the cat, if you can afford it, get a purebred, like an American Shorthair. They tend to be more athletic and wild. My family has had it's share of cats over the years that didn't do their share of the "house cleaning" - you can blame my sister for wanting to "rescue" every cat in the pound. My parent's cat, an overweight mut called Rollmop, is so apathetic that one day he was sitting on the deck lazily eyeing a lizard in front of him, when my father walked up, it got startled and ran right over him. He didn't even flinch. Another memorable moment was when we were watching TV and he rolled over in his sleep, fell off the couch, and didn't even wake up. Well, it wasn't really a fall, it was more like a bag of potatoes slowly rolling down, but he just kept on napping, something he does about 22 hours a day.
Purbreds may be a tad more expensive and require more care, but if you enjoy watching kittens chase a shadow for hours, it's worth it for the added entertainment. We bought our first purebred three years ago, the breeder was willing to deal because he had a slight "incorrect" coloration at the tip of his tail (like we cared). Anyhow, he's been the best cat we've ever owned - and the most entertaining, even now that he's an adult: flies-in-mid-air, check, rats/mice, check, lizzards, check, dogs-who-crap-on-my-lawn, check. He's fearless, can jump down a whole flight of stairs and onto the fridge if he has to. He even will jump in the tub when the kids are splashing about, just to see what's going on.
Anyhow, I know this got a little off track, but we do like our cats.... Well, everyone but my speakers.

Cool cat. I have had many cats over the years and each one has had a different personality. Most like to hunt bugs. We have two right now. One sticks around the house 99% of the time and loves to chase bugs around the house and eat them. She's the one who likes to sit on the living room floor 10 feet away from both speakers. Although, sometimes she likes to lay in front of the sub. The other one likes to be outside to hunt bigger game. Chimpunks, squires, rabbits etc. She could care less about a bug, and will completely ingnore them.
Neither of them have ever scratched a speaker in my house. :thumbsup: They must know what their fate would be.:mad5:

I rarely get a movie wrong.
