The only tings I know about cats is that they leave hair everywhere and claw me when I try to hug them. And neither could be fit into more than one answer 🙂 ---

Again, I did better than I expected after seeing how the answers were going–I’m surprised to find myself in the top ten. I would have done better still if I’d gone with my first thought for #8–I figured that ocelots wouldn’t be so widely thought of as pets anymore now that they are protected. Can’t believe I didn’t get a single match for calico!
