The Saga of BaconCat




Inasmuch as I had already subjected you folks to my Coke Zero/Cap'n Crunch misadventure today, I wasn't going to say anything about the fact that at some point during the day, I also taped bacon to my cat, because, well, you know, what else do I have to with my day? But inasmuch as the pictures are now all about the Internet thanks to Fark.com, I feel that I should come clean to all of you here in the AOL-J and admit that, yes, indeed, I did tape bacon to my cat. Like you do.



The cat is fine. The bacon, less so, but really, it's beyond caring at this point. And yes, Krissy knows, and I thank her for her love and patience, because clearly I need to beaten silly for thinking up things like this.

Anyway. How is your day coming along?

    Beautiful, healthy looking cat. Though raw bacon isn't probably the best thing for her/his diet, I doubt the kitty ate it anyway. For those morons claiming cruelty.....as an animal tech I can tell you go stick your head in a toilet & flush repeatedly till the whirly brings you to your senses. The cat is obviously not stressed and probably is waiting for the owner to get bored with him & take a nap. Folks need to lighten up. As for the owner......keep loving your kitty. They appreciate the attention and I do believe have a sense of humor to endure your bored moments. LOL

    Nice to know that I am not the only one that does silly things to my pets.  

    That's right people this was just John being silly, give him a break.  He didn't hurt the cat, and she probably had a good time licking the spot were the bacon was taped.
