Otto is just looking for a little love. Can you fit the bill?

I would just like to point out that Otto has a perfect soul patch.

We all know there are costs that come with doing too many drugs.

I present this as evidence of the occasional benefit.

It's rare to see abstract and cute work so well together, and it's funny. Here's to Otto and his dream.

I'll be your perfect stranger, Otto.

You know what? If this is an ad trying to get a home for Otto, it is absolutely brilliant. Right up until the part where there's no information about how to adopt him, that is.

If it's just some random valentine designed to seduce crazy ladies, it's still pretty dang good. Right up until the part where there's no information about how to date whoever made it, that is.

It all makes me feel so...compressed, yet filled with romantic abandon. (So yes, Otto honey, I will be your valentine. But we have to be sneaky, because if he finds out, we're both dead.)

I am Otto, a feral cat ... neutered, male, full of love with no place to put it."

Watch yer mouth, freak. And stop sniffing helium.

Perfect Strangers was awesome. But I do not deserve to replace Balki's head with my own.

Yeesh. I got 75% of the way through but it was powerful dull stuff and the music was actually annoying.

It was better than Rent, anyway.

Aww. I loved that! Up until the Perfect Strangers bit at the end anyway.
