Ugh, didn’t do very well on that one. I’m a cat person–no idea how long dogs live. Not sure why I glommed onto “raccoons” instead of “foxes,” either. And forgot about Rottweilers and Dobermans. Uh…yeah. Call me when the Cat Feud shows up. 🙂 ---

I went from 7th last one to 45th this one. What is wrong with these feuds? I can not think of what else it could be. The feuds are flawed. This one more than most. I lost to a frozen Worm. I am avoiding pies like a Space Invaders game. ---

I got in too late for this one. Probably a good thing. Based on what I would have answered I would have been near the bottome. ---
