Cats and Kilts

[An t-Ileach]

Well, actually the thread should be "cats and unbifurcated garments" but "cats and kilts" sounds better.

I've noticed that when I wear jeans (which I do, and overalls, especially when I'm doing messy work in the attic where I store my leather) the cats will flee a mile as I approach. But when I wear the kilt, or a sarong (a hang-over from my days at the End of Empire), they just lie there and ignore me.

So, I got to thinking. Is it the noise that the trouser legs make that spooks them? Or are they discerning superior beings?

Interesting thoughts.

Could be a bit of both I think.

I've noticed that our cat will run around my legs at times now. Definitely not something it has ever done before (pre-kilt wearing days). Coupled with the fact the he is a "mommy's cat" it is a pretty big change.

My cat Tigger used to love laying in my lap when I was wearing a kilt. Only the wool ones, though- no the artificial ones. So I suspect cats are superior and discerning animals.

I've been instructed by the 2 cats that I serve to assure you that they are most definitely discerning, superior beings!

Mine said the exact same thing. And then wanted to be fed...

Perhaps the latter...(link)

My two cats are dumber than rocks. I should say, My wifes two cats are dumber than rocks.
