The other potential cat issue is if you have one that likes to "muffin." My fiancee's cat does this and now I have a lovely mark in the center of the front apron of my kilt (my only kilt which I am planning to wear during our upcoming wedding ceremony). This happened when I had taken the kilt off and was making the short walk to the closet to retrieve my kilt hanger. I nearly had a new full mask sporran for the ceremony. Only good news is she has agreed this means I will need to get a new kilt once the funds are available. Sadly, that time is not going to be anywhere in the foreseeable future.
