What if your cat's a total asshole, always hogging the remote and running up huge phone bills?

2. Have you considered counseling?
Or is your cat simply going through a typical adolescence? :o

3. He's been running with a bad crowd
And watching too much of the MTV. Honestly, it's like I don't even know him anymore.

4. As long as he's not watching the SPIKE channel.
Once he does that, you REALLY have a problem.

6. He only watches for the commercials, which make up about 45 minutes of every hour
Or, uh, so I'm told...

5. possibly he's been using...the drugs?
I have seen cats driven to insanity by drugs. You run a real risk of being murdered in your bed.

7. He's actually less of an asshole after a good catnip binge
If that's not a testimony in favor of drug-experimentation, I don't know what is.

8. I don't think so. I often tell mine that I'm going to go to the cat store,
and see what I can get on trade-in. Of course, they start depreciating the minute they're driven out of the womb.

I used to live next door to a social worker who used to tell me that if I talked to my (hypothetical) kids the way I talked to my cats, I'd be on a first name basis with every DCFS social worker in the state!

9. A mere minor detail. Cats couldn't care less about such stuff
and nonsense. Mere Human will bring food. That is all.
