    You know a cat would crash the car just for the heck of it, and then look at you as if to say "whatcha gonna do about it?"

    No, it is a scientific fact that cats NEVER break anything!

    Apart from their owners' hearts! ;)

    This was entirely new to me and I love it. Excellent use of the ITC Jag too!

    That certainly brings a new definition to the term "crazy cat"! :))

    I distinctly remember something like that happening in a colour episode of The Saint (Roger Moore era) that I saw on the TV years ago.

    And indeed it did! According to the YouTube description of the video, clips 3 and 5 are from the The Saint episodes "The Queen's Ransom" and "The Counterfeit Countess." Clip 11 is from The Persuaders ("The Ozerov Inheritance"). But the program which used this stock footage most was The Benny Hill Show, which explains the laughter in some parts.

    It cost the studio so much to total a car that they used the footage over and over, to the point where if you see someone driving a white Jaguar you think "I know how this is going to end" :)

    It looks to me like a cat was driving those cars at the time. They haven't quite got the whole braking thing down pat yet, but they'll get there.

    Cars are a regrettably speciesist form of technology, and the brake pad is ill-suited to feline paws, especially those of the common house cat, unless the animal in question happens to be human-feline hybrid or werecat.

    Cats are taking over! There are cat lawyers now.



    Soon they'll be represented in Parliament. No doubt this will be their first Act:

    I don't see what's so bad about allowing giant cats to roam free and prey on the tastiest members of the populace. Vote Liberal!

    Re: Cats making the news -

    A cat this week interrupted a partially virtual meeting at Stormont, the Parliament Buildings of Northern Ireland by giving its owner, the aptly named Colin Pidgeon, a live pigeon it had caught:

    I successfully averted having even a single video conference for the last year, in spite of most of my time spent in "homeoffice" (as is the latest Denglish term), but my wife spends not much less than 24/7 in front of her PC, being in MS Team meetings with her company colleagues for about half of that time.

    Anyway, I am sure that our cat Zoe has become known to my wife's European colleagues rather extensively, since she (the cat, not my wife) loves to jump on the desk and insist on being cuddled for as long as she likes, or until she is simply fed up which can be the case within varying time frames.

    Actually most people love it when something like that happens. I've had a few times my 2,5 y/o son managed to escape his mother's oversight to say hi to dad, but nobody ever minds if that happens in a meeting. Cats might even have a welcoming 'softening' effect on meetings..

    Correct. There's even a farm that offers to insert its goats into zoom meetings.

    OK, this is the latest picture of our OTHER cat...the one that very likely wouldn't show up in a Zoom/MS Teams conference. She's a bit on the shy side, in spite of seeking human "bodily warmth", but like every year, we still have to figure out how to get her to the vet for vaccination...

    I had a virtual meeting with my line manager, who told me he had 2 kittens in the room, but he didn't show them to me. This is a case for HR!

    I think that classifies as torture!

    Here's one of my cats. Dressed in his Bela Lugosi costume.
    He has a better chance of being cast as Bond than I do as he's originally from the U.K.

    He could be the next Bond villain, Count Fluffula. ;)
