    Laughed my considerable butt off at this.  Love the stunned look on the face of the puss like WTF!  “Why are you making such a ruckus when you could be doing something constructive like opening me a nice can of cat food?”  Wonderful post.  It helped get me over my post budget deficit blahs and that terrible feeling I’ve been screwed again without being kissed.
