Hoax.  From www.av.ibm.com, the best source of virus info on the net:

    How to Give a Cat a Colonic?

    We don't even want to think about exactly what
    this means, but it's the "Subject" line mentioned
    in the most recent (August, 1999) version of the
    generic virus-warning hoax circulating on the
    internet. Like all the other variants of this hoax,
    it's untrue, and you shouldn't waste network time
    and space forwarding it around. For details of
    this family of hoaxes, see our generic hoax alert.
