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 )

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

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.
