              Nope, not athletic at all actually. My exercise routine is limited...walking and bike riding a couple times a week.

              Yeah, there is a name for the fear of cats. It is on the list in that link I posted earlier in the thread. I'd tell you here if I could remember it...sorry.

              I had a landlady with that fear once...guess I was lucky she let me have cats despite that.

              But also, there are some plain scary-ass kitties out there...they may be cute, but you know the minute you meet em that they could tear you apart if you get too close.
