Your post reminds me of the time I broke my leg and was waiting outside the OR for surgery. They brought in this poor guy - also with a broken leg. He was a school janitor. He told me the kids used to throw their pencils on the stairs and then watch people slip and fall. (our tax dollars bought those pencils, btw)
Anyway, the poor janitor slipped on one of the pencils and fell down the flight of stairs. He said the worst part about it was when he was being carried away on the stretcher all the kids lined up and taunted him. Nice, huh.
Cats would never do that.
PS - I don't hate cats, I just can't be around them because of allergies. I know they are great pets too.
