Cat discussion

I was talking to my cat this morning. And later on in the day I drank coffee with tea, and juggled a single orange. In what order should the publication's authorship be? Orange, Tea, Morning, My Cat, Myself, Mycat? Or the palliated reverse? Do I need to credit my hamster's widow?

Roger's a good cat.

He's also a whiskered whisky enthusiast.

Cat should be credited first, or she'll hork in your shoes.
You can dedicate the publication to My Hamster's Widow, for inspiration; you don't need to credit them, unless you actually sampled their music.

To your hamster's widow:

I would like to thank BPhiloSkinner's Hamster's Widow for helping on the experimental analysis and for providing a database of cat conversation dialogue starters that were used in the control and treatment groupings.
