15. I have more but I need to upload him
you should have seen him yesterday when I got home from work. He demands that I pick him up immediately. Then after I picked him up we sat down on the recliner and he just snuggles me like I'm his mamma cat. He's so loveable unlike the batkiller!

29. Heres the deal
I'll go to the door and tell her I'm collecting campaign donations for George Bush. While she's kicking the shit out of me on the front porch, you slip in and grab Abbott.
Perfect plan.

30. Yo, but who gets to keep her pretty kitty?
Or do you want to saw it in half like Solomon?

:evilgrin:

NOTE to Lynne: That's a joke. I am a kitty lover and would never consider harming a pretty kitty, as if it needed to be said.
