4. Well, if the cat wants to grade the papers, the cat will have to READ them
all first!!!

Put a red pen in Kitty's paw (or a nonthreatening PURPLE pen, if you are in a PC teaching environment) with the admonition "You wanna play, you gotta pay!"

NB--Is that cat pregnant, or just well endowed?

10. She's 11 years old and has been fixed since she was a kitty
plus she's an indoor cat only and right now an only child (her brother died last year from a heart defect).

She's not really all that heavy, but with her lying down at that angle, she looks pregnant I guess!

9. Because YOU look at it. If YOU pay attention to it, it must be
...something of profound import. And if that is the case, Kitty must, I say MUST, have dominion over it!

16. what a cute kitty!
It's funny, I have many friends who teach and if the students could see what and how their teachers and profs grade them, and where the papers often end up... it would be hilarious.
