Cat 1: Will pick up your cat and throw him up against the side of the house.

Cat 2: Will blow your cat into the next block.

Cat 3: Will bury your cat in the shingles it ripped off your house, before blowing him halfway across town.

Cat 4: Will rip all the fur off your cat, squish him into itty bitty kitty meatballs, and then fling the remains into the next town over.

Cat 5: Will tear the roof trusses off your house, suck out your cat and everything else you have, and deposit the whole mess in the next county.
