    Truth in advertising. Whatta concept.

    Or I could just skip the hissing and go right to ignoring you. But that would cost extra…..

      Oh I’m sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

        You guys crack me up.

    10 cents is highway robbery! My kitties will hiss at you for free, just to let you know…
