I too have fought the wars for the Ottoman empire with the capricious cat. Any territory that becomes the resting place of working drawings or specifications is the high ground of the battle field. In a thoroughly unfair and asymmetric response, National Geographic videos of "Big Cats" have inspired him to set fastest lap' times to the litter box (the pits)... and even pole position.
Concerning Traction Control... My cat has had his front tires impounded for violations of the FIA rules on speaker vandalism of the most depraved form. Seems some other cats ratted him out, as they were sore losers...
He will be back at Indy in two weeks, scrounging up Gasoline Alley, looking for a fight, and doing that 'Stray Cat Strut.'
