I don’t have the patience for sarcasm. Pretty much everything they do is met with “What the hell?!”

I also like: Your internal alarm clock is great for waking me up at 5:00 in the morning. Even on weekends I don’t get the chance to sleep in. Thanks for making sure I don’t waste time by sleeping the day away!!!!

Why is it that every time I return to your blog after forgetting to read it for awhile a cat is throwing up? Please consider the fact that I read your pieces during my lunch break.
Love,
Vivian.

It’s one of the mind games they play with us humans.

I totally agree with the solid vs tweed one, one of the reasons I can’t really wear black anymore, the one cat helps transform it into tweed in no time
