Cats come back to full alertness from the sleep state faster than any other creature.

Nothing wonderful about cats could surprise me since I find them sublime! Thanks a lot for that tidbit though, because you're right! I've seen that! Though sometimes a few yawns occurred shortly after the full alertness! ;-)

During the Middle Ages, cats were associated with withcraft, and on St. John’s Day, people all over Europe would stuff them into sacks and toss the cats into bonfires. On holy days, people celebrated by tossing cats from church towers.

Powerful quote. Wholeheartedness. I totally agree :)
