I just tripped over a cat in the dark
and fell down my stairs. Slid all the way down on my butt, scraped my elbows, bruised my rear, twisted an ankle a little. Also, my neck hurts. I'm gonna be sore in the morning. The important thing, though, is that the cat is just fine.

:eyes:

2. If I sued my cat and won, I'd get his chewed-up mouse toy and some hairballs.
Not sure it's worth it.

12. Apparently you aren't aware of secret cat funds. They are the richest
species on the planet.

5. That sounds like a cat who's learned how to work the can opener.

13. I have tripped over my cats so many times, that they
run as soon as my feet hit the floor in the dark. I'm sure your cat will learn one day.

But so sorry to hear of all the aches and pains---hope they are easily healed. Lucky you went down on your butt, huh?
