Vicki's taking the cats to the vet early in the morning, teeth cleaning. We had to stop feeding them around 8pm. As a result I've been dealing with a pair of starving cats all night long.

On a normal night they would have eaten and gotten right back to bed, but take the dishes away, and it's a whole other story.

I've been stalked and given the dirty looks for hours now.

Have you every tried to fix yourself a snack with a couple cats camped out in the middle of the kitchen floor?

Do they really think that staring at me will bring their food back?

2. Earn a second Ph. D. from home.
3. Massively enlarge my penis.
4. Make $$$ on the Internet.
5. Invent a way to block spam, 100% guaranteed.
