This "cat equivalent" thing is a red-herring. I can rarely type more

I tried offering a red herring to my cat to check this out, and, sure enough, she indignantly refused it and miaowed loudly for less smelly food. So, you may have a point here.

Going totally off-topic (except for those who define anything that ridicules Bill Gates as inherently on-topic), just as I read your reply I saw the following two "related" articles as I was reading some news online:

On red herrings (and silly Bill screwing up another demo):
http://www.redherring.com/Article.aspx?a=11118&hed=Glitz%2C+glitches+and+Gates+at+CES&sector=Profiles&subsector=Companies

On cats (bouncing dead ones, anyway):

(My reticular formation must be working fine today...)
