scratch around my ears or..... my Cat's name is Juicyface and he likes deli turkey breast and roast beef.
There needs to be a wtf flag for the little [!] button.

You know, that article was seriously lacking in TEH FUNNAY, however another article about PETA on the same page had a nice little line:
the pathetic excuse for an animal rights activist was found to be in possession of a box of Nabisco Murder Biscuits - better known to the flesh-savoring hordes as Barnum's Animal Crackers.
Nabisco Murder Biscuits. I really don't think that will ever leave my impressionable little mind.

My cat's name is Bluebongle McSporkfairy and last night he ate the remains of my dead sister we've been storing in the fridge right beside the half-empty box of Eggo waffles and beside the ice cube tray that I keep talling Steve he needs to keep filled but he WON'T because he actually lives in Arkansas. And my cat likes catfood.

At risk of taking this way too seriously ...
I justify my degraded and humble existence by serving as toilet slave and food ape to a couple of spoiled kitties. The two fat ladies (okay, formerly fat -- they're on diet food instead of fried bacon and battered fish and chips) were rescued from a local cat sanctuary, where they'd been taken in after their previous toilet slave died of old age. Both of 'em were significantly obese at the time, to the point where the heavier cat had difficulty grooming all over (specifically: she couldn't bend far enough to lick her arse). She'd gotten into the habit of tearing the hairs out of the base of her tail, and had become somewhat bald (not to mention bad-natured) as a consequence. So we took her to see the vet, and the vet noticed "hey, her anal glands are blocked!" and stuck a finger up her ringpiece. I have seldom seen such an expression of surprise and indignation on a cat's face ... followed by blissful relief as the vet withdrew his pinky.
I figure that from the cat's point of view, having blocked anal scent glands must be like a cross between losing your voice and having the world's worst case of constipation, simultaneously. Unblocked glands, happy cat. Blocked glands, behavioural problems. While I wouldn't recommend going to the same lenghts to deal with it as the friendly helpful customer-facing folks at Animal Defense, pussy-lovers ought to bear it in mind.
Me, I'm just making sure to remember not to shake hands with my vet.

If this were Fark there'd be a huge UFIA joke right here.

That's a fabulous comic strip, there, VulcanMike. Thanks much! And thank you, longsleeves, for providing the vehicle through which it has been discovered.

Comic strip, hysterical.
FPP, I'm afraid I'll have to join the "WTF?"brigade. I mean, it's a one link post that is almost dada in it's total lack of context.
That said, to quote Ralph Wiggums: "My cat's breath smells like cat food."

I thought the context, i.e. extremist animal rights activists, would be self-evident, sorry if it escaped you.
