Friday Funny: Cats Need a Good Home

by

Oh Boy, Oh Boy!! Here is a “goodern” for everyone… Came in my e-mail on Thursday and just new I had to share it today. I’m not even gonn try and trick you all into thinking this is real… I mean, come on, it’s Friday! What do you expect?

So here goes:

Dear All,
My friend’s cat had kittens, and she was able to give away all but 4 of them.  I told her I would help her find homes for the last 4. I can’t take one because I am allergic to cats, but if you could take just one it would be such a help, and the kittens could have a nice home. Or if you know some one would.

Since she lives way out by the Nuclear Power Plant, I’ll go pick them up for you.

I’ve attached pictures of the last 4 kittens.

Will you help?

Just click each to see a bigger image.
