Cats and Kilts
Well, actually the thread should be "cats and unbifurcated garments" but "cats and kilts" sounds better.
I've noticed that when I wear jeans (which I do, and overalls, especially when I'm doing messy work in the attic where I store my leather) the cats will flee a mile as I approach. But when I wear the kilt, or a sarong (a hang-over from my days at the End of Empire), they just lie there and ignore me.
So, I got to thinking. Is it the noise that the trouser legs make that spooks them? Or are they discerning superior beings?

Could be a bit of both I think.
I've noticed that our cat will run around my legs at times now. Definitely not something it has ever done before (pre-kilt wearing days). Coupled with the fact the he is a "mommy's cat" it is a pretty big change.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

My cat Tigger used to love laying in my lap when I was wearing a kilt. Only the wool ones, though- no the artificial ones. So I suspect cats are superior and discerning animals.

I've been instructed by the 2 cats that I serve to assure you that they are most definitely discerning, superior beings!

Mine said the exact same thing. And then wanted to be fed...
