My initial thought was that cats go well with peanut butter. But then I saw it was about a litterbox and sweets. After that, I associated cat waste with chocolate. Then... I stopped thinking...

Considering the destination of that train of thought . . . probably a good thing to stop thinking xD
...And BIG crates of ammo, jeeze, by the time I found it, it had been pee'ed in so darn much I had to bury the whole lot, talk about pure d rurnt. Pissed ME off, that did. Only have 'yard' cats after that.
Oh man, my cat is terrified of socks, handtowels, shirts, jackets, the fringe on blankets, the trim on pillow shams, pretty much any fabric that is not laid out flat. But especially the socks and hand towels.
Even when they just sit there, he bobs and weaves his head as if checking it out from all angles as he SLOWLY creeps up on them, then cautiously bats at them and reflexively jumps back. It has been especially hilarious when he catches a claw on them and runs backward off the bed, or if I make whatever has his attention move by putting my hand under it and popping it up at him.
But he does it EVEN WHEN IT HASN'T MOVED IN DAYS. If he has to move past it on the floor, he's suspicious of it.
I can barricade him in/out of my room by a line of dirty socks and hand towels across the doorway. He just crouches there and stares at them like they're going to come after him and kill him when his back is turned.
Not helped by the fact that he's super clingy and the other, much larger cat is definitely the alpha cat.
Speaking of cats, my 'yard' cat gets along pretty well with possums and skunks, as they like to eat her food. She just sits there and lets them have there turn. Possums don't mind her but the skunks are a riot to watch, they do little charges at her, back away and charge again.
Thankfully she knows NOT to provoke them, they just like a little more space. I have to remind myself to check outside the door at night before walking out,as it is not good to surprise those fluffy little black n white 'cats'. Regardless, we have the tomato juice at the ready.
Had an inside cat, before the aforementioned 'ammo disaster', that woke us up (thank goodness) when the water heater started to smoke and then caught fire in the closet. Was doing that same little dance that @Quickblade mentioned at the closed closet door.

@Quickblade Yep, hehheh THOSE lil 'black n white kittens'. Guess those little ones are not prone to give ya there business end yet. @Balrog99 Pepe Le'Pew, Hah ( Coran in BG might be related to Pepe me thinks, they act bout the same)
I think in like the 5th grade, a guy brought a skunk into the class for an educational moment. Fortunately, the glands had been removed and it couldn't spray anyone. Was pretty nice but still did not smell good.
I am definitely a dog person, I admit this freely. The one time I had trouble with a dog was many years ago, when I was a paperboy, (back when people read newspapers) and a loose Doberman took an aggressive stance, growling and barking. I always carried dog biscuits, so I tossed one and said "Hey, boy! Wanna go for a walk?!" That did it. He let me pet him, I checked his collar, and walked him back to his house. The biker dude there was crestfallen that his killer dog was happily being led around by a twelve year old.
Miniature dachshunds, though, are complete wankers.
I got bit on the bridge of my nose when I was about four by a relative's dog - I've still got a bit of a scar. While I can appreciate dogs, I prefer cats. It's entirely attributable to that.
When I was four I got mauled by a German shepherd.
For some reason I've never been afraid of German shepherds. Dobermans scared the heck out of me, though, at least until I was a teenager. That was attributable to a house on my route to school with two very angry dobermans who would bark like they wanted to kill you if you walked anywhere near the house.
I'm sure they were perfectly nice, though. Just barky.
Decades of allergic life teached me an universal truth: Screw any kind of mammalian pets. Get reptiles, amphibians and arthropods instead. They're so much cuter than those all too common furballs from the depths of hell. Stray cats I can tolerate. But gosh do I hate those barking, biting, smelling dogs... especially those "toy breeds" are pure evil. The smaller they are, the greater their ego it seems.
My ferret likes to play around with the family dog (toy dachshund) by sneaking up on him and attacking him from behind. He never leaves the couch anymore nowadays...

I know if the only cats I ever saw were tigers then I'd think everything pissed cats off too.

That is literally the worst dog I have ever known, and I like dogs and get along with them almost as well as I do with cats.
