Mrs. Jones' kitty isn't feeling well- a bad
case of constipation. She takes it to the vet,
who gives her a new kind of laxative. "Give
her about six teaspoons of this, and she'll
be better in no time."

Mrs. Jones' does as she's told and returns a
week later. The vet asks, "How's your calf?"
"I don't have a calf. It was my cat who wasn't
feeling well."
"Well, how's your cat doing?"

"I'm not sure. The last time I saw her, she
was heading toward the north end of town with
ten other cats. Five were digging, three were
covering, and two were scouting for new territory."
