I understand from military friends that visited Thailand that the cats prowled the temples and would yowl and scratch anyone who tried to touch forbidden items.
There was also a story going around (no vouching for this one) that the crown jewels were displayed openly with cats as guards ... go for the jewels and get covered by snarling, biting, claw-raking cats!

BTW I'm sure all you cat lovers know the Lillian Braun books, titles all start with the words "The Cat Who ..."
wonderful series even for a dog lover like me.

AND, should I ever get an unnamed dog, given my past in music, I would name him Figaro for the joy of calling him using the famous "Barber of Seville" tenor aria!

FINALLY, the spell wrecker wants my wow signature to be wrangle.
