Just pretend it was an accident then its all good

This is what I did when I had a cat. Two or three times I accidentally stepped on his paw or tail, and I was just really apologetic and nice to him because I felt bad.

My brother took him to Biloxi when he moved. I miss that furball.

LOL Three things stand out in this:

1. Cats love bodychecking toddlers.
2. Kids need to learn the warning signs that the cat is done playing with them (twitchy tail, pulled back ears, growl).
3. A lot of those kids deserved the cat attacks.

I don't know if I've been incredibly lucky or something but of all the cats I've owned they've never smelled bad enough or been dirty enough for me to intervene by giving them a bath.

If you develop cat allergies, regular kitty baths can go a long way towards keeping the cat from needing to be rehomed. Mine have had regular baths their whole lives - they're not jumping for joy over it, but they don't mind.

My significant others have always handled the gross parts of cat ownership since they did the cat acquiring.

I got the mostly good bits of cat petting and such without the hassle.

Except one Thanksgiving with a "totally weaned" kitten where I had to handle the milk warming and butt wiping since she was in Arizona with her fams.

That was horrible.

Kittens are just terrible and should be left with their mothers to be possibly eaten.

In a brazilian show, they made one of those fake family reunions, but between a cat and his "owner". It didn't go so well.

One of my roommates just bathed a cat a little while ago. The sounds coming from the bathroom sounded like a large man being tortured. The cat is really old and frail, but he can really yell. Wish I'd recorded it.

Eh, flipping the Reagan ad to highlight how poo poo the Democrats supposedly are isn't the worst idea ever. But aside from Vancouver, the ad isn't nearly competent enough to actually do that and it just comes across as them not understanding why the original ad is regarded as such as success. It ends up looking like they think the phrase has some kind of magical talismanic power that gets Republicans elected.

Then again, given the reverence they hold Saint Reagan in, that's not a big surprise.

Hah! Just joking, friend!
In fact, clean cats not only make for a more hypoallergenic environment for you human types, the cat, while a bit peeved at the uncomfortable wetness, well be proud of its new shiny coat when all is said and done. Not to mention the positive attention it gets from you!

Happy petting!

I'd say this counts as catfreude : for all the benefits of having fur like cats have, it increases their overall surface area by so much that even the most fastidious of cats really can't clean it all. I read an article a while ago that posited that a cat's grooming instincts come from trying in vain to keep itself clean.

Insurance fraud, or they're trying to see how much gas is in the tank because the pumps don't have a shutoff sensor for some reason.

Be sure to wear your safety fedora.

It burns off the extra fumes as a safety precaution?

Russian cars run better if you preheat the fuel supply?

Several mistranslations of an obscure children's book cause incidents like this involving flammables in a low percentage of people born in the 1980s, pervasiveness of video recording and internet connectivity has allowed the phenomenon to be observed?

He said the case of Archbishop Julian Porteous, who last year was the subject of a complaint to Tasmania’s anti-discrimination commissioner after an anti-marriage equality booklet published by the Catholic church was distributed to 12,000 schools, was an example of why the law had a “low threshold”.

How does he feel about all those Catholic priests molesting little boys and violating not only their vow of celibacy but practicing the homosexual actions they're so vehemently against?

Oh right, they're all from that "pick and choose" class of religious assholes who don't follow the rules in the lovely book they endorse anyhow. Maybe we should be looking at deporting those fanatical chucklefucks to their own little island of stupid.
