Reading all about other people's 'kitty' adventures, makes me recall the
several years at Univ. of Colorado, getting my BSEE back in late 50's.  We
had a Siamese cat, named Kitsie by a previous owner.  Come winter dry
weather, her walking across the carpet and sniffing my outheld hand would
draw an arc and a zap, and quickly the cat wouldn't come to 'sniff' any
longer for several months.

Man, you never saw a cat scoot away so fast.  Like a bullet.  But if she
wanted to be held, she'd get on my lap and enjoy being petted.  But don't
try to bring your finger to her nose.  ZAP!

And, if you walked over to the light switch in the dark, you could draw an
arc of several inches at times.  Not really painful, but a nice flash of
light.

Once the dry weather was over, the cat was much more friendly.  Funny cat;
if you were packing up the car to go somewhere, you'd find the cat on top
the front seat back, watching us pack up.  But once moving, she'd start
meowering for hours.  Wanted to go with us, but didn't care for the
movement, I suppose.
