The Center for Feline Excellence is chartered to investigate purring, rolling,
rubbing up against things, kneading, looking intent when it rabbiteth,
sitting in about-to-be-reoccupied seats, coughing up hairballs, and allied
disciplines in an interdisciplinary manner. Potential future areas of
investigation include being groomed peacefully. Cicero (M. Tullius Cicero)
and Tully (M. Tullius Cicero) are the two felines currently in residence here
at the Center, located in Hyde Park, Chicago, Illinois. The
facilities focus the attention on the intellectual
life of the Center.
