Ancient Egyptian family members shaved their eyebrows in mourning when the family cat died.

Ironic. We often call Stinky the Cat an Egyptian Fell Dog.
When a family cat died in ancient Egypt, family members would mourn by shaving off their eyebrows. They also held elaborate funerals during which they drank wine and beat their breasts. The cat was embalmed with a sculpted wooden mask and the tiny mummy was placed in the family tomb or in a pet cemetery with tiny mummies of mice.
You said that first part already. Stinky the Cat does not repeat herself.
However, in regards to Part II...there are no mummified mice in our house. Last night Stinky the Cat jumped into a drawer when I opened it. She thought she saw a mouse. She hates mice with a passion. No mouse would ever get to the mummy stage in this house. Stinky the Cat would see to that, pronto.
Purring does not always indicate that a cat is happy and healthy - some cats will purr loudly when they are terrified or in pain.
Stinky the Cat only purrs when she is happy. Sometimes she purrs so loud and hard, she chokes on her cat drool. I want to laugh, but don't want to give her a complex.
Stinky the Cat does not purr when she's mad at me. She just looks at inanimate objects really close up with her back to me, as if to say, "I'm not listening".
Ailurophile is the word cat lovers are officially called.
Crazy Cat Man" is what the neighbors call me. Do you think that's a bad thing? Stinky the Cat still seems to love me. So I will not lose any sleep over this one.
A cat's hearing is much more sensitive than humans and dogs.
In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens.
