She makes an assumption that everyone can just get a cat... For some that still isn't an option If you are allergic to cats but still want one to stave off your loneliness - there's this wonderful item.

I don't know, I found it kind of cliche and depressing. But I could see myself liking more of her stuff.

This kind of rode a line with respect to My Drunk Kitchen. A line between homage and... well, I think it stayed on the "homage" side of the line.

That's a lot of production work to put into an extended amirite? riff about single women and their billion cats.

Agreed, "bottled tears" as a funny concept is beyond tiring at this point.
I thought Henry's Anytime Chili for One did this better, and without the HAHA women/cats/castration/hahahaha.

"Cat's can't leave you"
Oh if only that were true. I never found out what happened to Mog. and ten years later, his sister Meg. And this year, Tiger Tim, who was born in our house. We live in the countryside and always have several cats. They roam for miles, and every few years one of them doesn't come back. :(
I've lost girlfriends and I've lost cats, and while losing a girl hurts like heck for a few days, in the long run losing a cat is worse.
I still miss Mog.
Oh God now I'm sad. Thanks, cheery Youtube video. Merry Christmas to you too.
(PS I'm not single any more: found someone who wants to run a cattery, so I know she's The One.)

If you're still in the "anger" stage of grief about being single, you can make pancakes.

Total side note, I made festive holiday cookies on a whim recently and every single person turned them down. So I ate them all myself.

Well, this is no surprise. Until you learn to cream the butter and sugar together before adding the dry ingredients, you can't honestly expect someone to truly love you.

The trick, Whelk, is to leave them on a plate in a common kitchen area. People will gladly steal what they don't wish to be given.

I disagree. Singles needn't torture themselves in this way. If you're single you can be eating the finest, prettiest, artisanally-made cookies available and drinking the finest accompanying beverage of your choice. Why? BECAUSE YOU'RE SINGLE!

Perhaps this is aimed at the newly-single, because as a long-term single, I stopped caring about exes a long, long time ago. Several jug-sized bottles of Duty Free Johnnie Walker ago.
Johnnie understands me. Johnnie's always there. Isn't that right, Johnnie?

"That's right, Captain!"
"Thanks, Johnnie. You're the best!"
"Merry Christmas, every one!"

I liked the part where she spelled Fuck You with cookies.

"Cat's can't leave you"
The worst part is when you find out the little orange-and-white bastard is living full-time with his other family, who calls him "Bandit" and lets the kids cart him around all day when he'd only grudgingly tolerate a few pets and an ear scritch from you.
