8. Cartoon Cats
Usually black and white. And they often have an amusing speech impediment. If your cat can read newspapers, it is a Cartoon cat. If it can get hold of a stick of dynamite by simply reaching off screen, it is a Cartoon cat. If it wears a bowtie, it's a Cartoon cat. If, when it starts to run, its legs pinwheel in the air for a humorous few seconds making binka-binka-binka noises, it is a Cartoon cat. If you are still uncertain, check to see whether the people next door have a bulldog called Butch who has spikes on his collar and is usually to be found dozing outside his kennel. If they have, you'll know what kind of cat you've got.
--- The Unadulterated Cat, Pratchett and Jolliffe
I always thought ours was a Real Cat: He catches anything, his ears are getting tatty, he can hear the fridge opening.
But...

Usually black and white.
Check
If your cat can read newspapers, it is a Cartoon cat.
We don't have them - he studies computer screens though.
If it can get hold of a stick of dynamite by simply reaching off screen, it is a Cartoon cat.
He wishes he could
If it wears a bowtie, it's a Cartoon cat.
No.
If, when it starts to run, its legs pinwheel in the air for a humorous few seconds making binka-binka-binka noises, it is a Cartoon cat.
No, but has been known to spin his rear legs wildly while power sliding round corners

And the biggy Sir Pterry missed: He loves lasagne. Seriously: I made one last night and he spent three hours pestering me to give him some. No chance - it's securely locked in the Cat Safe (or "microwave" as it's known) for tonights supper.

My cat is Garfield in black-face make up. Unsure | :~
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
