I've got eight ways of killing it so far: Can anyone think of a suitable ninth?
(If it helps, imagine this is Shampoo-neko we're talking about (it isn't, but
it might help some of you))

     Don't hurt 'Poo! :(

The nine ways so far are thus:
1. Skinning a cat
2. Curiousity killed the cat
3. Drowning it in cream
4. Making sure a cat doesn't land on its feet

     This wouldn' happen to involve stapling a piece of toast to the cat's
     back, butter side up, would it? :)

5. Cat on a hot tin roof
6. Too small to swing a cat in
7. The classic drowning-cat-in-a-sack trick
8. Shroedinger's Cat (don't ask)

     You're right. I won't.

Aww....come on.  I always liked this experiment!  Besides...prove to me
the cat's dead!

A ninth: given the propensity for cats to become roadkill-- flat cat.

Another ninth:  There is that one group of Chinese that I believe really
do eat cats...
