[They have these weird little short ears](http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/2110342001/catprin/english/#hiyoko). What breed is this?

Heavily sedated cats would be my guess.

Judging by the expressions on their faces, I’d say “Humiliated.”

My guess would have been “sedated”. I cannot imagine what would happen to me if I even tried that with my cats.

That is why I changed it. My username comes from my love of the Columbus Cottonmouths hockey team (nicknamed the “Snakes”) and the fact that I am the one any of the new players call if they are interested in getting a cat/kitten. I was a little squicked out by the “snake scat” remarks. 🙂
