Wednesday was my sister Melanie’s birthday. After work I went home to change clothes before heading to my parent’s place for the party. What I found there shocked me to the very core.
Her birthday cake was in a box on the table. My mom informed me that Smokey, the greatest cat in the world, had sat on the box and squished part of the icing. I asked where Smokey was now. The answer: He was locked in the bathroom. Smokey had become a prisoner of war.
“Do you want salad with your dinner,” my mom asked me. “No,” I replied. “I am on a salad strike until the prisoner Smokey is set free.”
An amusing work of fiction? Sadly, no. This story is all too real.
Freedom for Smokey. Freedom for cake squishers everywhere.
I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.

That picture of the kitty behind bars is so pitiful! It reminds me of how poor Smokey must have felt locked in that bathroom. Don’t you just love that cats sit on anything and everything new in their environment? I am laghing thinking about how cute it is.

hahahha cats will sit on anything! you know i always wonder when siblings have birthdays back to back, if there was a special date in their parents lives nine months before each child was born. like my dad for example. he was born in march and so were 2 or 3 of his other siblings. i still dont know what that special day in june was for my grandparents. no anniversary or either one of their birthdays. i wonder…..

Do not feel sorrow for “That Mmm Cat”. Smokey is the devil…and what did Jesus teach us about the devil?? He taught us to lock him in the bathroom.

What Kevin failed to tell you all was that Smokey didn’t just squish “a part of the icing”. He flattened ALL of the roses on one side of the cake! Totally flat. I reasoned that if he wanted to flatten anything in the bathroom it could only be an improvement.

“[...] what did Jesus teach us about the devil?? He taught us to lock him in the bathroom.”
Is it necessary to make one of the scariest places for a germophobe any worse?
on a side note….
“Kevin’s Mom” is hilarious.
