PAINFUL, YOU KNOW, WATCHING IT, I'M SURPRISED YOU WEREN'T

SPEAKING OF CATS, SHOW OF HANDS WHO HERE HAS A CAT AT HOME.
WHO HAS A CAT AT HOME.
A FEW PEOPLE, FEW PEOPLE.
I OWN A CAT TOO, I AM A CAT OWNER, ALTHOUGH I DON'T FOE IF I
OWN A CAT AS MUCH AS A SHARE A HOUSE WITH A CAT, YOU NO HE WHAT
I MEAN, CAN YOU REALLY OWN A CAT.
I DONE EVEN KNOW IF MY CAT LIKES ME TB I DROP DEAD AS LONG AS I
DIDN'T FALL ON HIS FOOD BOWL, I DON'T THINK HE WOULD CARE AT
ALL.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
CATS ARE MEAN THOUGH, CATS ARE MEAN, THAT'S TRUE.
LIVING WITH A CAT IS LIKE FINDING A ROOMMATE ON CRAIGSLIST

CABBAGE THEY EAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
