I really like Louis vs. Rick. I like it better than the one that recently made the rounds with the guy texting with his dog--that one, the dog can be pretty funny/endearing, but the guy is actively mean to the dog. And really, being mean to a dog isn't funny, because dogs live to please. Whereas Louis, and often cats in general, can have more grit to their character, which means arguing with him isn't mean. It's funny, since it's more equal.

And thus ends my master's thesis on texting with a cat vs. with a dog. kthx.

(CAPS LOCK IS HOW I FEEL INSIDE RICK still never fails to amuse me. :D )

I hadn't seen the one with the dog - that sounds mean. Bah.

And yeah, cats are totally up to the challenge when it comes to attitude sparring. I wish the guy was updating the site. Alas.

(Cats CLEARLY feel caps lock inside ALL THE TIME)

And...somehow in my head this sounds like John (Rick) and Sherlock (Louis), in some weird alternative universe.

[tzikeh]

LOL

Well, I imagine that, except for when he's lying on the couch being DRAMATIC, Sherlock probably feels like caps lock inside all the time, too.

(Okay, I went and read some of the other entries in their voices. It's even more hilarious.)

CAPSLOCK IS HOW I FEEL INSIDE, TOO.

This is made of WIN! The more I read, the harder I laugh (and the more I miss having kitties of my own right now).

Thanks for the link.

[tzikeh]

I miss having a kitty as well.

What.

I CAN'T FIND THE RED DOT THAT LIVES ON THE FLOOR, RICK.

That's because I'm not home right now.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT

I make the red dot, Lou. It doesn't come out of nowhere.

WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA, RICK
