Don’t forget the classics - “Falling Off Speaker”, “Horking On Carpet” and “I Meant To Do That”.

There’s also “Impersonating Snoopy pretending to be a vulture while on top of the fridge,” the “Stretching up on the biped to demand food which they claim that I won’t like, but I know I will, and if I don’t it’s because of a dirty trick on the biped’s part and not that the food is something I’m just not interested in eating,” the “I don’t care what you think, biped, you’re _not_ getting up, because I don’t want you to,” and the “Oh shit! The biped’s got that ‘It’s time to go to the vet’ look in their eye again. Where can I hide?”

Since I’ve read 4 pages of this thread and found out what everyone else thinks, I feel that I can safely say that I agree that the OP was wrong. We certainly don’t have a group think mind that allows no dissent.

(Psst, if the consensus changes, someone let me know so I can agree!!)
