All we need to do is eliminate the pee spewing egg in the upper left and we're immune from this type of attack.

Oh dear. My toddler discovered that there were videos of cats on the internets, and already demands kittens whenever I'm online. Now I'll never get my iPad back.

Future historians are going to look back at this time and think we worshipped cats like the Egyptians based on cats on the internet. Which makes me wonder, did the Egyptians worship cats, or was it just lolcats?

My wife had me run it on RedTube. Oh, heck, I would have anyways. The porn titles with the cat pictures were hilarious. Not linking it because, you know, its RedTube.
