1. Are they saying that cats are slow??

Or, “Go slow because of cats”?

I confess I am dense.

2. I would say your 2nd choice is the correct one.

3. In Maryland, there was once a sign saying "Clam Crossing"

Some film students made up the very official-looking sign, not far from the shore, and then set up a string of clam shells in an orderly line across the road during a slow moment when there was no traffic. They told me that "some people stopped." They did not tell me for how long.

4. In high school, we made up a "cripple crossing"

This guy stopped traffic, while I pretended to be "crippled"...

We did this all night one night. This was in 1971 and we were bored. (Sorry for not using handicapped, but that was the word we used back then)

5. The alliteration grants you a pass

Too bad it wasn't a bridge over a small stream. Then you could have called it "Cripple Creek," and had a banjo on your back to enhance credibility.
