Two things strike me as I return to this thread:

1. I realized why the idealized product packaging picture was so funny. It looks exactly like a lamely posed yearbook picture with the subject wearing some excrutiatingly embarrassing get-up.

2. I can’t believe _nobody_ used my blatantly setup closing straight-line.

Sings perfectly to the tune of “Should I Stay or Should I Go” by the Clash. 🙂

I’d just wait until Luci fell asleep – I have never known a cat that was such a deep sleeper. She could sleep through a war.

I like the review after George’s.

Lately, whenever she approaches or tries to pet him, he darts off wildly in a rage. “Only a maiden pure may tame the unicorn!” he says. Jackass.

That was Bill Cosby’s bit: [

I once dressed one of my cats in a pumpkin costume for Halloween. That night some cat left a hairball right where my feet land when I get up. Coincidence? I think not.

That toy is why everyone should have their cats de-clawed!

That review is special, as are some of the others.

The photos from customers are special also.
