I protest totally to using the cat command
Authored by: loekjehe on Oct 09, '02 08:52:25AM

As a developer I sincerely recommend not to use standard operating system command names for such purpose (even while being placed in ~/bin). Modifying system commands in this way would make your system unreliable and non-standard. You'd indeed better rename the modified command to "kat" or any other new command name if you don“t want all sort of strange things to happen on your machine.

...hence my suggestion to name it 'cheshire', for the _Alice in Wonderland_ talking cat reference... :-)
