Location: Minden, Nebraska | I was going to say the catbox, as revenge, but that is a bad idea. I bought an 1867 Legend at a garage sale once for a great price, but a cat had peed on it. It took a while to undo the 'aftermarket ambience'. |

Location: big island | no cats, but i do have two toddler daughters who will not stay out of my guitar cases! if they can't get in them, they insist on climbing all over them, surfing on them and using them as a springless trampoline.
brings new meaning to the phrase, "Get off my case, will you?" |

*I ain't a cat person either.

I would suggest Option #2. |

But she's in the other room watching House. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Obviously not a lot of cat people around here, so here are some tips.
If you don't want a cat in your case, don't leave it open. A cat normally WILL NOT spray or mark a spot where it eats or sleeps or just likes to hang out. However, if YOU mark the spot with a dog, or with some smelly stuff of some sort... The cat WILL then attempt to re-mark that spot.
So simply put, keep the case closed, problem solved. |

Did you ever think, when you eat Chinese
It ain’t pork or chicken but a fat Siamese?
Yet the food tastes great, so you don’t complain.
But that’s not chicken in your chicken chow mein.
Seems to me I ordered sweet-and-sour pork
But Garfield’s on my fork.
He’s purrin’ here on my fork.
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
The place that I eat every day at noon.
They can feed you cat and you’ll never know
Once they wrap it up in dough, boys:
They fry it real crisp in dough.
Chou Lin asked if I wanted more
As he was dialin’ up his buddy at the old pet store.
I said "Not today. I lost my appetite.
"There’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight."
I was suckin’ on a Rolaid and a Tums or two
When I swear I heard it mew, boys:
And that is when I knew...
There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon
I think I gotta stop eatin’ there at noon.
They say that it’s beef or fish or pork
But it’s purrin’ there on my fork.
There’s a hair-ball on my fork. |

I frequent a "Andy Griffith Show" forum and forgot to get out of one character and into another. |
