Did you do the drop test 9 times, tho'?

And I chortled every time you called Sarah McLachlan. (Nothing against angel arms.)

McLachlan Protective Services are brought up many times here at the house. Both Tess (dog) and Sable are treated like royalty. So the slightest little thing will like when I get onto Tess for begging for food gets a response from H with “I’m calling Sarah!” This is the problem with opting to not have kids :D

You didn't mention the lack of hippo sized hairballs.... I think that's a selling point in Moo's favor. Also, I'm willing to bet in shorter drop tests, Sable would outperform the p.hippo model.

Haha my cat also snores loudly but not quite that loud! 🤣🙈 So cute. 🤩

she's a big girl, and probably needs to lose (a lot of) weight. She didn't used to snore like that, but she's gotten "fluffier"

My sister calls her fat cat a “luxury model.” 🤣 My cat is not “fluffy” but he is very old. 🙈

“Supporting organizations like the WWF (that’s not “wrasslin” for the idiots in the back) or African Wildlife Foundation can help protect these portly critters and their habitats.” 🤣

you lived in GA, some of those people in the rural burbs believe wrasslin's real. This is why our political system is so screwed!

🙈😬 I find election years + Facebook so “interesting” when I see the posts from people in Georgia I went to high school with a couple of decades ago… 🤦🏻‍♀️

we love her, except in the morning right at 6:30. But that said, she's a cuddlebug. I've never seen a cat that wants their belly rubbed and beans played with

I choose Sable mostly because of the snoring. I had a cat that did that and those noise was amazing. What a fantastic and fun post.

Well she’s done with the screaming for the day (at least screaming for breakfast, lunch will be in another ::checks watch:: 20 seconds. So now she’s over here snoring again. Best little lap cat ever (although we’re going to have to put her on Ozempic or something as she’s getting chonky)
