Why is it cute when a kitten does it but when I’m lying on the bathroom floor after an overdose of beer waiting for the room to stop spinning, it’s not so cute? Whatever. ---

The only thing that could make this picture better is if you saw the kitter’s owner next to it passed out in a plate in similar fashion. Remember the scene in _The Andromeda Strain_ of the town of Piedmont with the older lady suicide (hanging) and her cat? Yeah, kinda like that. ---
