Be soft as sinews of the newborn babe! Felines are lovers of quality and comfort, just like Too Short. Similarly, they are fine connoisseurs of squishiness. They appreciate surfaces that are firm, but not too firm - say a thick pile carpet vs. hardwood floor. They want comfort, but not gaudy squishy excess. If a pillow is too fluffy, a cat will reject it just as much as a pillow that is too firm.
For proof, one need only mix a cat with a water bed. A team of five or more cats (see Math) will quickly readjust a water bed so that it is just the correct amount of squishiness. Each cat is an individual, and his hooman will need to find the right point on the Mackenzie-Hobart squishiness scale to completely please him.
