This was on Car Talk a while back. Really funny, and all this talk about evil cats made me think of it. -
Cats get a bad rap. Our cats love us. Especially when we summon the black powers and sacrifice a goat.
They're 8 now, but when we first got them:

I'm never quite sure how our cats (only 1 now) have felt about us. I reckon they wish to keep it that way.
We briefly had three under our roof some years back -- one was our son's girlfriend's cat, which lived with us for a couple of years while she was in a (college) housing situation that didn't permit pets. :P

PS I am pleased to report that the rather homely sofa in that photo did not make the move from MA to NH with us.

My little buddy, Jasper the hybrid. He loves to play, follows us around like a dog, gets involved in everything, can be very agressive, but he likes snuggling and listening to tunes when he's tired.
He guards the turntable when I am away...
Helps me pick albums to play...
Loves to watch fish TV...
"Helps" me when paying bills on the 'putie...
Helped me run the air line to my air bearing arm on the turntable....

hah! Thought you could derail us with pretty pictures of trees and waterfalls and rocks and whatnot, eh?
OK, brief regurgitation of the kitteh leitmotif, then I'll stop, I promise!
One of my favorite troubleshooting tools for hifi work, as many of you know, is the CAT scan. This approach is especially valuable in loudspeaker repair.
Here, for example, a CAT scan is used to diagnose a degraded woofer surround on a Pioneer HPM-1100 loudspeaker system.

CAT scans are also useful in vintage radio work.

Finally, finally, finally... when I first brought home a gorgeous pair of Altec 604E Duplexes, I carefully protected the pair by covering them with a soft, clean towel as a hedge against unplanned CAT scans (a referral, of course, is required for all diagnostic tests!). The Duplexes were carefully placed on my workbench while their cabinets were being built.
Well... a couple of days later, I happened to be downstairs, only to discover than an unauthorized CAT scan had apparently been ordered.

Don’t get me wrong, I love cats, but our cats seemed to... well, loathe us. We’ve had 4, and they all tried to destroy us or ruin our lives in some way or another.

Good looking tuxedo cat, Joe!

I get free CAT scans here too.
The previous neighbor's cat "Capone". The coolest cat ever.
Our cat "Cali"...She's OK...when she want's to be half the time. But she is getting to be 15 years old now.
She hung around me the whole time I re-foamed them.
