Ciber,
If you don't like her cat, move out.
If you ever have a baby, are you gonna throw it out the window when it wakes you up in the middle of the night?
At least it was trying to play with you.
How old are you?
I hate dogs. As destructive as some cats can be (and not all are), some dogs can be much worse. Trust me. My GF has a dog and a cat. BTW, her cat has seen the dog fetch and so she'll (cat) fetch too. And we'll tire out before she will. We throw a hair band (?) and she'll run after it and immediately bring it straight back, dropping it at our feet or on our lap. She understands the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. One day I threw a band over the kitchen counter/bar, she jumped on and over the bar. We were rolling. Same w/ furniture. The dog just goes around. BTW, my GF always said she was allergic to cats. Now she owns one, w/ no problems.
Anyone that could be so cruel to a cat (or dog) as some are needs to burn in hell.
Some people, especially the rednecks here in the southeast think it's cool to say "I hate cats" or "I'll kill a ____ ____ cat". My Dad (not a redneck) didn't like cats before we had one, now you couldn't drag their cat away from him.
The next door neighbors dog barks in the morning waking me up. The dog (beagle) down the street howls all night keeping me up. The dog across the street runs and jumps on me, getting me muddy. Another small dog from down the street runs up and barks like crazy. Another dog (doberman) up the street barks at me like he wants to eat me (luckily their electric fence works). Another neighbor's dog hangs out in my garage. The other next door neighbor's dog cr*ps in my yard. What is that, 7? All this is true. Yet, no one's cat has ever bothered me in any way.
BTW, it'll calm down in a year or so, Ciber.
Be glad some of you don't live in ancient egypt.
'The Role of Cats in Ancient Egypt' from:
http://www.richeast.org/htwm/cats/Cats.html
Cats were treated as gods, and were protected by law, as well. The punishment for harming or killing a cat was harsh (Wolf, 1997). Diodorus Siculus said:
Whoever kills a cat in Egypt is condemned to death, whether he committed this crime deliberately or not. The people gather and kill him.
Rather than harm the cats, they [Egyptians] surrendered the city to the Persians without a fight. It was a devastating loss for the Egyptians
when a fire broke out in Egypt, the men would stand in a line to prevent harm to the cats, thinking more of that than extinguishing the fire.
aircooled, your cat brought the bunny as a trophy for you. Just means she likes you and knows you're boss. BTW, nice siamese.
rockyct, did you photoshop your cat's eyes green? BTW, my GF's cat does the gently paw on the face at 5:30 (but back at a few weeks old, it was 3am). But still better than the dog's whining and barking at 5am.
The pic of the cat in the box w/ peanuts is awesome.
AFAIK, many (not all) people w/ 'fat cats' are overfeeding them. It is unhealthy. Google "overweight cats".

Well... when my dad was growing up, he lived on a farm. That didn't make him a "hillbilly"; in fact, the first thing he did at 17 was leave to go to the Air Force Academy because he knew that the farming life wasn't for him. Too bad they retired his F-111B. I heard that was a pretty sweet aircraft.
It wasn't too sweet, since it never made it to production.
From
http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/f-111.htm :
Developed for the U.S. Navy, the F-111B was canceled before its production
From
http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/f111_4.html
By October 1967, the Navy was finally convinced that the F-111B was a lost cause and would never be developed into a useful carrier aircraft and recommended that the project be terminated. The axe finally fell in May of 1968 when both houses of Congress refused to fund F-111B production.
Was your dad a test pilot?
