Stupid cat
Our cat, Tobit, recently stopped eating and drinking; granted I don’t know much about feline anatomy, but I’m pretty sure food and water are important. We took him to the local vet. He told us the cat was anemic and to take him immediately to some veterinary hospital for a blood transfusion. Despite the fact that I had never heard of cats getting blood (or donating blood for that matter), we went to the mattresses and took him in. That’s right, Lauren and I spent an obscene amount of money putting little Tobit in the cat hospital for 24 hours to get a bloody transfusion (I know that was a bad pun, but it’s my blog, so deal with it).
While at the vet’s office, we bought some of the expensive flea killing stuff (the kind you squirt onto the back of the neck). I managed to apply it to all three cats without spraying the cat, the wife or myself in the face.

Cats are evil. Not only do they steal the breath from babies, they now steal blood. How much more proof do you need? These creatures must be destroyed so that people who are allergic to them can breathe easy.
"these creatures" means cats in general. I do not submit that your cats should be destroyed, as I'm not opposed to your cats' existence. Your cats, much like my wife's cats, are welcome additions to the ecosystem, and I am fortunate that I get to change my wife's cats' litter regularly to remind myself who really is in charge of my house.
I managed to get out of ever doing the cat litter by making a deal with the wife; she got to put some picture she really wanted into the wedding album. One lousy picture for years of cat litter: I'd say I got the better end of that deal.
I've got to learn from your bargaining techniques. When my wife and I got married, we had the agreement that she could keep the cats so long as I had nothing to do with them - no feeding, no litter changing, minimal petting, etc...
She's changed the litter 4 times in the last 12 months.
hey! i've had to do the blood transfusion thing with a cat before. unfortunately, she was much sicker & never made it out of the emergency vet hospital. uhm, okay, that was depressing. i hope your cat is going to be okay.
and steve - that stealing babies' breath thing is a lie. didn't you see that steven king movie where we learned the real breath stealing culprit was a little troll/leprechaun thing & the cat was actually PROTECTING the children? hello?
Right, like I'm going to trust anything Stephen King says. He told me clowns live in sewer drains. I spent weeks running through those things and never saw one stinking clown. I want my money back.
no steve, you shouldn't have backed down from your orginal stance. cats are evil. they are selfish, creepy, useless, lazy animals that steal breath, clog sinuses, and leave sneezes wherever they go. they should all be rounded up in a capsule and jettisoned into outer space. way, way outer space. way the hell out of here.
P-Man: You don't like "selfish, creepy, useless" things that "steal" stuff? Are you sure you're not talking about law students?
You know, a new cat probably costs less than that bloody transfusion and takes a lot less time.
