 Cooking up a catastrophe.  Looking cute is like anything else. Just takes practice.  It's time for my cat nap.  I love parties! Uh, what are we celebrating again?  Love at first sight.  Alright, I’m on the case. But I’ll tell you right now, I think it was the dog.  That’s one small step for a cat, one giant leap for felines.  Purrrrrty. |
