If your cat sees a VERY LARGE SPIDER- what’s his course of action?

Roscoe loves to swat & toy with spiders before he feasts on their souls

What does your cat get up to on Sunday mornings when half of your peer group is hungover?

Sunday mornings are usually reserved for sun bathing on the patio & periodic butt licking (his own).

Rambone can be witnessed in real life at the Electric Owl on July 25.
