I'm looking for a baby kitten. It's gonna be my pet until one of us expires. I'd prefer a short haired, preferably not a shedder (if the mother is a shedder, no thanks) and preferably not all black young cat. Please call me at (514)892-0355

Thanks for the public service announcement. Go do something worthwhile with your life if you're going to be a do-gooder. Go fight terrorism. Solve world hunger. Save the fucking whales.

I want a baby kitten. Now please take your unsolicited advise and shove it up your ass.

I hate idiots! On the other hand, thanks for the inspiration for today's blog.

Is it just me? FUCK!
