I inherited a cat for much the same reason, I guess the guy didn't like waking up to the "red eye".
I believe the quote was, "GET THIS DAMN CAT OUTTA HERE OR I AM GONNA KILL IT!!!!!" lol
Strange cat, loved women-Hated men, great mouser though. I ended up giving the cat away after it "claimed" every pair of shoes I owned. (along with my jeans, my pillow, etc.)
I once had a cat use my hair as a litter-box in the middle of the night. I woke and realized what was happening when he tried to bury it. I threw him against the wall. He never did that again.
I took a shower while my wife changed the sheets ... at 3 o'clock in the morning.
I notice that Alice has two points of hair lying down. Is she a phb wanabe at home? That would explain her dumb decision to use kitty litter, leading to the inevitible problem (aka "opportunity" for Catbert). I could see Catbert being Alice's pet in the same sense of Dogbert as a pet. In reality, Dilbert and Alice would be the pets.
