This is what happens when your cat uses your Emacs

C-M-S-s-z is undefined.

I could not have done that myself!

Yes, it seems hard. I have no cat and I get "C-M-S-z is undefined" when I try.

Heh, you just proved my point.  If you had a cat you would get
"C-M-S-s-z is undefined" instead :D

So maybe we should rebind that key to engage Cats-Lock.

It looks like the "windows" key I have got between the left Ctrl and the
left Alt keys generates s-.  So if you press Shift-Ctrl-Alt-Windows-z,
you get the C-M-S-s-z keys sequence...

A proof if ever that Emacs users need cats.
BTW, we should probably bind it to some cat command.

Pronounced, it hacks up a hair ball, then trails off in a purr.

I cannot reproduce this in a *scratch* buffer.

C-M-S is translated to C-M-s (`isearch-forward-regexp')

Maybe this happens only in cat-mode?

how about,

(defun cat-command ()
  "A command for cats."
  (interactive)
  (require 'animate)
  (let ((mouse "
           ___00
        ~~/____'>
          \"  \"")
        (h-pos (floor (/ (window-height) 2)))
        (contents (buffer-string))
        (mouse-buffer (generate-new-buffer "*mouse*")))
    (save-excursion
      (switch-to-buffer mouse-buffer)
      (insert contents)
      (setq truncate-lines t)
      (animate-string mouse h-pos 0)
      (dotimes (_ (window-width))
        (sit-for 0.01)
        (dotimes (n 3)
          (goto-line (+ h-pos n 2))
          (move-to-column 0)
          (insert " "))))
    (kill-buffer mouse-buffer)))

I am not a cat, but I still liked that :-)

My cat continues to see "C-M-S-s-z is undefined" as reported by the
OC. 

When it ran the above command with M-x cat-command it was not at all
happy with the new implementation. It's terribly upset that it's
survival will be a big question mark if Emacs-24.1 got released with
this patch. It is planning an OCCUPY FSF movement with all other cats to
protest against the acceptance of this patch.

Please provide a different implementation that will make my and OP's cat
stay with Emacs and not switch to Notepad.

The two neighbourhood cats[1] that love cowsay[2] - only because they
appear on it - asked me to forward the following FR (in style).

Hope it is considered for Emacs-24.1.

$ echo "i can has cheezburger" | cowsay -f kitty

      _.. `--'_..-_/   /--' _ .' ,4

Should this be added to the startup screen?

    A proof if ever that Emacs users need cats.

If we have mouse commands, we need cat commands too.
