My Phat Cat Is Going Straight to Hell

My little black cat has grown too plump. She is Jaba the Hut. Same eyes. Similar athletic prowess.

If a mouse walked by the couch, she’d ask it to make her a corn dog.

When she gets good and ready, she stands. Her tiny paws and peg legs struggle to hold up her blimp ass.

I leave the house to work out.  She rolls her eyes at me, cracks open a Coors.

This haughty bitch makes Garfield  look svelte.

Her real name is Harriett. She used to look dignified. Feline. Worthy of such a name.

We got to know her green eyes and her vacant stare. Now she is Tutu.

All winter, she’s plubbed out on her carpet tree in the living room.

Her whiskers twitch. She is a miniature walrus. A dream befurred.

For laughs, we sprinkle catnip over her head. We hold our breath and watch her for signs of playful mrow-mrow. But her eyes glaze. She flops over to watch Top Gear.

Her flaccid cat teats are knackered weasels, forlorn and aimless.

She got fixed. On the way home my son held her tenderly, but taunted her with, “Tubes Wubes has no boobs.”

Mon chat noir has her claws. All of them. When she takes a swipe at my daughter, I wish she’d run away.

But who am I kidding, she can’t run at all.

Here’s what’s next for my fool cat. The lulz in this video will work your rectus abdominus. ‘Cause I know that’s why you’re here.

Chapter a Week | Reading from ‘Chocolat,’ by Joanne Harris | Five

Chocolat is one of my fave guilty pleasure books. I’m recording a one-take audio chapter per week. This is the fifth installment in the series.

Freaky Hair Sculptures and the New Vulvacious Girl Scout Cookie that I Invented

If you think you woke up with bedhead get a load of these wild haired chicks.

My two-year old daughter despises having her hair combed. She kicks, claws and insults me and her Daddy when we try to detangle her golden locks. If I’m feeling weak, she escapes and remains a side pony tailed ragamuffin banshee. If we need to go out, however, I have to get wicked crafty to keep her still for ‘do fixing.

If you have a toddler, you may feel my pain. I’ve always cut my own hair, bangs and all, mostly because I’m a cheap fuss. Once a month, I trim baby girl’s fringe. She tolerates the beauty shop treatment, but one hundred brushstrokes she’ll not abide. Here’s how I keep her Medusa-headed tendencies in check:

1. Lollipops, goddammit.

Anything that will turn her tongue blue will keep her happy long enough to get her hair did.

2. My Neighbor Totoro

When Cat Bus come ’round the bend, creepy eyes blinking, she’s hypnotized and I can put the coiff in her coiffure. We’re going to Disneyworld in two days and my children will look decent.

3. Ignore the cute neighbor kid’s knock at the door. Y’already let your son buy four boxes of Do-Si-Dos from those Girl Scout smack dealers. Bitchlings, please. We don’t need your kind of  help around here. Nobody has asked me to back that ass up lately and it’s probably your fault, G Scouts of  ’Merrca.

It’s cool though, Girl Scouts, that you’re putting money where our vaginas are. So how about giving birth to a new cookie, in honor of your sensible support of Planned Parenthood?  Here are my ideas:

Fallopian Toodles

Labial Fluffs

Giner Doodles

Kegel Crunchies

Marshmallow Muffs

G-Spot Cherry Robots

Two-Bite Pink Tacos

Puntang Puffs

Queef Sandwiches

Y’all think it over. In the meantime, okay, I’ll take some Thin Mints.

From my box to yours, Namaste.
