2. Just long enough to teach them a lesson, if necessary.

18. I prefer the phrase "pet an irritated cat"....
I've always been a tad ruffled by the idea of beating a dead horse. The visual makes me a little sad inside. :D

36. I'd rather have no carpets.
I'd love it if the entire house was hardwood floors. I could put area rugs where necessary.

however you wouldn't want to see what is left after I slowly but effectively remove every strip of flesh from the bones before I start to grind and rend it into glue ...
