Ronald had always been calm and level-headed in the manner of most cats. Mornings were spent quietly grooming his tail; afternoons contentedly sleeping in a sunbeam. He was a sensible cat, not given to sudden outbursts — until one day.
It began innocently enough. His human had dropped a piece of toast on the floor. Normally, Ronald would saunter over casually to see if it was to his liking, but this time he noticed it was scorched on one side. “How’d it get burned?” he demanded to know. “How’d it get burned? How’d it get burned, howditgetburned?!”
He gasped. Had he said that? One minute he was his normal, sensible self, and the next he was — overacting. He dropped the toast and backed away, straight into the cactus his owner grew by the cabinet. “I’m a prickly pear!” he cackled uncontrollably. Where did that come from, he thought. Am I losing my mind?
Ronald raced down the hallway, raving like a madman: “I’m a vampire! I’m a vampire!” Was that it? Had he been possessed by some demonic force that was driving him insane? Ronald stopped in his human’s bedroom. For a moment, all was still, everything was where it should be. But there was something new. On the bed. A strange pillow his human had bought in a second-hand shop just days before.
Then it became clear. The face on the pillow was unmistakable, its piercing gaze full of madness inescapable. Ronald had fallen under its curse, and as long as that pillow was in the house, he would never be sane again.

Oh. My. God. I am in tears.
Kitty looks perplexed.
Ronald is nothing short of a “National Treasure!”
The “how’d it get burned?!” line made me snort my delicious morning beverage.
“So, what’s in that pillow, a shawrk?”
He should know about his humins strange preference for strange heads in the bedroom….
Whatever is going on, he’s still a very pretty Exotic Shorthair kitty!! He’ll eventually get used to seeing the new face and accept it. To him he probably thinks, “Well, where did this NEW human come from??” Like most other new things, he’ll get bored with it and ignore it in typical cat fashion.
I was so not expecting Nic Cage! Bwahahahahahaha!
My favorite Nicolas Cage line :
“Put… the bunny… back… in the box” from the movie Con Air
who can sleep with that pillow in the house, let alone in the bedroom??
hilarious post, as always!!
As always, the long scroll down to the final pic was worth every second.
Hang in there, Ronald. Nic Cage is strong, but you can resist him if you have the will.
No wonder Ronald went mad. Why would his human HAVE that pillow in the house? Poor kitty.
LOL! I read the whole thing before I scrolled down. I was *NOT* expecting Nick Cage!!1! Priceless.
Oh man I sure hope you shared this with George 2-leg’s Instagram! I know they were hoping someone could caption that picture, and I can’t imagine there ever being a better one!
There is so much to love about this post, but I think I most especially love that it appears to be Nicholas Cage wearing a Napoleon outfit on the pillow.
Kitty is puzzled. Me too. That must be Nic’s house. Who else would buy that? Not a Nic fan.
I actually LIKE Nic Cage, but I could not ever sleep with THAT staring at me!!! Poor kitty, he’s probably wondering who is that interloper who refuses to scritch his chin.
Wow, and I thought that I was traumatized after Ghost Rider.
Everything about this post is so wonderfully weird!
Especially the title. The after-snerkle takes a few seconds to tickle.
“after-snerkle”
I just got it.
Just as she is doing…
