Ambiguity

[ocelot]

I have a magnet that states "A home is just a house without a cat".

I suspect that "Without a cat, a home is just a house" or "A home without a cat is just a house" would have better expressed their sentiments.

or maybe the magnet-maker was a cat-hater? or it's very subtle engrish?

That's fantastic.

I had to read that phrase five or six times before I could see that it was a pro-cat thing. :)
