We took her to the vet today for a check-up and rabies vaccine, and she is terribly insulted after being told she needs to lose a pound. She insists she is at the ideal BMI (Bossy Meow Index). #cats

I was just wondering what they would do if the UK ever had a Prime Minister who was allergic to cats, but then I realized the answer is CLEARLY, “Find a new Prime Minister.”
