Not after they reach the edge of the table; cat not needed then. You would make FatPhil look positively lovable at parties, BYW.

Science News: Black Hole Discovered to Actually be a Black Cat

Would space be all lumpy like that around a black hole? Picture shows cat affected by gravity.

What, are they expecting different copies of the newspaper to contain different text for different readers? That would require even more of a consipiracy.

However, it's exactly what can happen on news and other supposedly factual websites: there's no reason any two regular viewers will be shipped exactly the same content.

Time to reserve your Halloween costume.

I'd get that, except there's no way in hell I could cross my legs that way!

I could but it would take a team of paramedics to straighten me back out again.

With a little practice, grasshoppers.. In your next incarnations, that is.

There's a subculture for everything...

There's a subculture for everything...

Especially since the Internet. It was different when you had to write letters and shared what has been described as a "monoculture". Now you can choose your own reality, your own facts, find others who also want to feel special. Find your fellow freaks. Listservs when the Internet first came out. Imagine if you had to be a skeptic who had to write letters to other skeptics and hoaxers? I would never have met the people I did, or made the things I did, before the Internet. I would have died never having met folks around the globe with similar interests. Great for science. Huge accelerator and cross-fertilizer.
