This appalling Beast is known by many names, Cat Eater being the
most prevalent. Normally pliable, agreeable humans will
turn into raging monsters while under Its influence, running
around the house sucking up all the carefully shed Cat hair
and terrorizing the feline residents with evil glee. Nothing
can stop It until the influence is over and the foul device
is put back into Its closet. All you can do is run and hide
when you hear the engine roar to life and hope that It
doesn't find you. On some occasions, however, the humans are
forced to open up the vacuum cleaner and remove a swollen,
dusty bag from within. This is Its stomach, and must be
destroyed if you can get the chance. Do not worry if the
human yells at you, for the yell is really that of the Beast
in pain. Some Cat circles are of the belief that the weekly
ritual is actually a struggle for control, as the Beast
attempts to free itself from the human's grasp so it
can rampage at will. The back and forth motions of the
machine are supposedly indicators of this battle of wills.
Regardless of the interpretation, Cats should definitely
keep a low profile until the Beast is returned to its lair
and the human returns to normal.
