(Let's not forget Handel!) 10.) You expect every single guy in a tux and shiny black shoes to dance like Mistoffelees. (Haha. True story there. I was at my friend's sister's wedding and I noticed the groom was wearing shiny black shoes and a tux. Then later I asked my friend if he could dance. Unfortunately, I only noticed the shiny balck shoes because of this number on the obsess list, not because of Misto.) 11.) In a perfect world, everyone has a tail. 12.) Just by coincidence you happen to be going for a walk on Trick-or-treat Night. Someone says to you, "Hey, nice costume!" "Costume?" you think. "What costume?" 13.)

Your little brother/sister is having a birthday party. You ask the hired magician, "Can you produce seven kittens right out of a hat?" (True story there, too! Well...not really.

Whenever you hear organ music you put your right paw in front of your left and... 29.) You always spell the word 'cats' or 'cat' with a capital C. 30.) You've totally transformed your basement into your own miniature Junkyard. (I have!...or maybe it was just born that way.) 31.)

You go through this every morning: "Let's see, which outfit shall I wear today? Jemima's, Ecetera's, Electra's...?" 43.) You worry when there isn't a Jellicle Moon in the constelations. 44.) You're terribly upset when the word "Jellicle" isn't in the dictionary. (I've looked! It's not there! Oh, the humanity!) 45.)

On Christmas Eve instead of expecting Santa Clause to come down the chimney you expect Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer with bags of stolen toys. 61.) Whenever you see a crow you think of Macavity's henchcats. (They look like crows, I'm serious! Big, hairy crows. Actually, they're rats, but who cares.)

They suspend you for not wearing the proper clothing every class, (yeah, like that would actually happen) and you come back and threten to sic your pet Macavity on them. (That's how I got me pet Macavity! No, no, I didn't sic him on my dance teacher. That would be a funny thought, though.) 68.)

Heck, you go around the whole house on all fours! 90.) Whenever you look at the moon you start to sing, "Daylight, see the dew on a sunflower..." 91.) At the mention of it you're singing it right now. 92.) Whenever you see a sunflower you think of Jemima. 93.) Pollicles seem to like you less and less each day. 94.) You get a detention for not singing the right songs in chior at school (that---miraculously---hasn't happened yet). 95.) You wonder why a cat would ever need to know what a ratio is. (Wait a minute...what's a ratio again?) 96.) You hiss at your teacher whenever he/she assigns a big homework assignment. (Hehe. Ooooh, I'd just luv to do that.) 97.)

(True story.) 102.) You see the word 'tumtables' and think, "Tumblebrutus?" (True story, too.) 103.) You see a poster that's really far away that starts with "Between June" and you think "Bustopher Jones?!" (Yet another true story.) 104.) For math class you have to make a word problem and it goes something like this: "If Jacob practices dance an hour every weekday in his Cats costume, half an hour every weekday without his costume, and two hours every weekend without his costume, how many hours will he have practiced in a month?" or: "If Macavity has 7 henchcats and he gets mad at 4, how many of his henchcats don't have black eyes?" 105.) When you ask for something and the person says, "What's the magic word?" you reply, "Presto!" 106.) Every time you think you're going to faint you feel like Jennyanydots. 107.)

The word 'spit' is no longer in your vocabulary, but is replaced by 'Munkustrap.' "You Munkustrapped on me!" "Sorry. Been watching Cats too much."
