But a cat needs to be confused periodically, or else it may get in a rut . It is the basis of a whole industry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2Je1CEPkUM

That is now added to my list of mottoes to translate into various pretentious languages for handy use. “No Underpants, No Shame”.
The funny thing is that while cats for sure don’t have shame, they do have a sense of dignity. I once saw my cat leap off a small stool so suddenly he kicked it over while taking off, which also lost him enough of his forward momentum that instead of landing on the couch (his intended target). He made it about 3/4 of the way there and very nearly clocked his head on the couch’s armrest. It was the only time I’ve ever seen a cat NOT land on its feet: he went down scrambling for purchase on the couch or maybe the footstool he just left (and not grabbing anything), and finally landed on the floor on his side.
He immediately sat up and looked around, as if to see if anybody had noticed. Well I had, and I laughed my fool head off. In response, he calmly sat there and licked his paws for a bit, then trotted off in no particular direction, in no particular hurry. As if to say, “I’m still cooler than you, and don’t you forget it.”
My cat once jumped for the coffee table, and landed on a paper that was only half-wa on the table. It did a semi flip off of the table after face planting at mach drive, and did the same thing. It looked around to see if anyone saw it, then left.

The Siamese did that this morning it jumped to run away from me and jumped into a brick wall. It started sneezing uncontrollably which made me laugh even more. My laughing made it sneeze harder. It eventually got so cranky it pretended it did it on purpose.
