The vet is a blimp. A frozen cat is just going to bounce off. You either need to keep the claws on and rip the blimp to ribbons, or roll the cat into a cute little fluffy ball, stuff it down a cannon, and blast the blimp to hell. ---

You either need to keep the claws on and rip the blimp to ribbons, or roll the cat into a cute little fluffy ball, stuff it down a cannon, and blast the blimp to hell. Cannon? How old fashioned. Surely the US Gov’t must have cut rates available on surplus explosives like they hid in the World Trade Center. ---

I’m trying to write a joke about making cats who _won’t_ take off their shoes at least wipe them on the doormats the Nazis made from discarded foreskins, but it’s not coming. Can someone help me with this?
