Discovering Catistics

Hello, Fuzzy the cat here. It began so innocently. When my owner was writing the first edition of his tedious book, I used to proof read it and correct all of the errors for him. In addition, I decided it was far too boring and needed some cats in it to liven it up. So, when he was lying in a drunken haze, I turned on his PC and edited the file. This took some time because I kept having to eat the mouse.

Needless to say, what with being the super-cool feline that I am, my influence could be felt throughout the book, and somewhere along the line, the book became more popular with cats than with humans (especially in Holland it would seem). This is only natural seeing as I am a super cat stud, and all those lady cats could not resist my ginger charm.

The pictures came flooding into my owner's Inbox:

	These 3 were sent by Rosemarie Huver (Maastricht University)

So now there is a new edition, with even more cats and the like in it, if your cat reads it and you want the world to know, send my owner your pictures.

Also, I recommends the MathCats website.

My favourite song can be found here and the remix (Thanks to Sarah Weiner from NYU for sending me this, you can check out more of Schaffer The Darklord here).

There is only 1 thing better than cats reading my book, and that's Kittens. This cat is clearly going to grow up with an excellent knowledge of catistics. (Thanks to Khanya Price-Evans)

Clearly this is heresy: a dog on the catistics page. However, Fuzzy (all hail the mighty Fuzzbag) has allowed this picture on the page because it illustrates the supremacy of cats. Note in the pictures above the cats are alert, awake, investigating and digesting the information within my textbook. This poor Basset hound though, being a dog and all, has fallen asleep at the mere mention of a t-test, proving once and for all that Dogs are just not as clever as cats. At least, that's what Fuzzy told me to write.

(Thanks to Jannie Roed at Sussex for this picture, and apologies for the character assassination of her pet!).
