Why is my cat such a dickhead?

Meh. We had the same argument we have everyday about him tidying his toys away but this time we both lost our temper.

Why do I love cake so much?

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 04/02/2023 18:26

Why do I love cake so much?

Weird. Weird. Weird. I couldn’t live with someone like that
