Helplessness
n., Trying and utterly failing to soothe an old, blind, almost-deaf dog who spends the last few hours of his life yipping away because of you-dont-know-what (before he finally decides to chuck it all - softly, unnoticed - and head for that roomful of unguarded slippers* he dreams about).

Aren't I bloody cheerful this week. I blame all the Christmas ads.
Simply replace "dog" with "cat" (or "alligator") and watch this post magically turn HOWLARIOUS.
tchah. what an end to the year, huh?
@km : you zoosadist !!
next you will be advocating cat crush movies as an antidote to the lifesucking Christmas songs everywhere
Damn! Even Scrooge wouldn't have wanted to start Christmas on this note. That said, you might consider muttering 'bah humbug' instead of spreading the cheer like this...
what is christmas for except to spread good cheer... but the Great Slipper Stack in the Sky is always good for dogs.
blewgenes: Cats are an alien life form. It's ok to (gently) hurt them or humiliate them.
km: *gasp* so much nasty.
SB: Sheesh, the SPCA Internet Branch!
km: this is what you want to exterminate?
how could you?
awwwwww.... km, you don't want to exterminate ickle tickle kittens, do you? (now, replace that with bawling brats on a plane... that's another conversation altogether)
SB/Brinda: All right, it's a deal - I'll tickle cats till they have tears in their eyes but I will hurt them no more.

KM/Space:
You should have a blog war going - one puts up posts of lovely kittens, one puts up posts of nasty ones. We can all keep score.
Brin:
Please. No talk of babies on flights. One is trying hard to imagine they won't happen soon.
??!: would this count as lovely or nasty?

Kill all cats. And handbag dogs, they have no self-respect.
