Speaking of cats...one of mine has learned that he can rub across the 
blanket on the bed and build up quite a charge. 

In the middle of the night, if one of the other cats is in 'his 
spot', it is not uncommon to find him rubbing vigorously, then going 
over to that cat and lightly tapping him on the butt, dumping his 
charge with a brilliant spark...and a very startled leap from the 
sleeping one. 

Why hiss and pounce and wrestle when you have electricity at your whim?

P.S. - while thus far he hasn't tried that on us, we have added a 
humidifier to the room, just in case.
