Get hold of all the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comics you can...YES, they are still available! Read them. Pay particular attention to all the episodes involving Fat Freddie's Cat. You will soon know pretty much everything you need to know about the whys and wherefores of feline behaviour....and unemployed, dope-addled hippies too.

This is valuable stuff to know about, trust me. Reading those comics faithfully got me directly to where I am today. ;-D
