STILL BETTER THAN A DOG.
Thanks to Laura T., Gina P., Celeste B., Chris S., Jesse S., and Anony M., for starting our day with a Big Bang.
Note from Jen: So far you guys have let me joke about self-help groups, glaucoma, and baby bags with no air holes, but I'm betting THIS - the ages-old cat vs dog debate - is the uncrossable line. LET'S ALL TUNE IN TO THE COMMENTS TO FIND OUT. :D

SuBee!!! You totally ROCK! I didn't know anybody could improve on C.S's words -- buttcha did it! And along with today's post, made me giggle hysterically!
Gorgeously done, SuBee! I just loved it.
@KarateLady: LOL. Happy Birdthay!
I don't know why it didn't dawn on me that the playlist wouldn't be confined to the aptly initialed Barry Manilow; Christmas Shoes belongs right in there. So does the Cat Carol, which fits in nicely with today's post. Throw in any emotional rip-off song that gives you a nice build up, like the lyrics are just about to really say something, then it's right back to the chorus fifteen times on a slow fade. Who writes these songs, anyway; psyops specialists?
@KarateLady - Happy Birthday! May all your cakes be GF wrecks of the amusing yet not disgusting sort. Can I come if I bring GF chocolate chunk cookies? They're Pamela's brand, and they are some serious dangerous awesome. I can bring the LOTR trilogy, too, speaking of dangerous awesome. If we keep up our sugar intake, we should be able to make it all the way through!
me: life long cat lover who currently lives with the cutest dog in the world (he's half cat- he tries his best to purr & walks up to people and rubs against their legs to say "hi")
sadly, I developed a very bad allergy to cats when I had one 20 years ago! ugh, I can't believe it's been that long. her name was Staypuft, btw.
the last "cat" really looks more like a sad, pathetic Kokopelli to me. (patooie)
Happy birthday, KarateLady! After we watch the Jackie Chan flicks and explain TOS to Jodee, can we watch some Stephen Chow movies?? Kung Fu Hustle rules!!
I'm really on the fence on this one. On the one hand, cats are cuddly and you can leave them home for the weekend and they'll be fine. On the other hand, I'm allergic. As for dogs, they're usually very eager to please and will sit and let you pet them for as long as you're willing, but I'm also allergic. My vote: parakeets. Hypoallergenic parakeets. Plus, tiny poops.
Cats are a waste of good fur.
**running for the hatch** I'm here @KarateLady! **pant pant pant** Oh Hi Theardare <scratching behind left ear>
Meow meow meow meoooooow...
Yep, I know it's KarateLady's birthday. That's why I brought these yummy brownies. What's that? Of course I brought you treats! I've heard rumors about what happens when you are not shown the proper respect. Umm.. Hey, there's Craig! I think he brought you something too! **backs slowly away**
Ahhh... There you are KarateLady! Sorry it took me so long. I got stopped by Theardare. He wanted some of your brownies protected them with my life! p.s. sorry @Craig :D
I think theres a bazinga that should come after those cakes
Wowwwwwww, Jen was right! The "cat vs. dog" debate overtook the hilarity of the cakes! Who knew (well, she did).
@ Bethany, AMEN!
And to the Terrible People Society formed yesterday, you aren't Terrible people, after all, you were concerned about that poor, big footed, headless baby cake that was suffering inside that fondant bag.
Yay cats rule!! Poor kitties getting squished and looking terrified. Whatever those wreckerators did to these cakes they should be reported lol.
MEEEOOOW!!
I feel like I have to mention, that that cat poem is not (originally) from the Big Bang Theory, like everyone seems to think. ): I remember watching an animation of that same poem on Playschool (Australian kid's TV show) back in 1993, and it looked older than that.
I ran to groom our cats.
Our neighbor's cat thought it could run across the thin ice glazing the local pond and fell through. They found the cat-sicle about two weeks later. I wasn't sad.
Joelle : Please don't suggest you can leave a dog for a long weekend by itself in a barn or outdoor run. Dogs suffer dreadful seperation anxiety and animal welfare groups suggest four hours is the longest you should ever leave a dog. Perhaps stick to the cake kind of dog if you want to go away......
I like both dogs and cats, allergies be damned! Actually I like most animals, mosquitos and silverfish not so much, but I suppose they have their place. Maybe I can understand having preferences, but I don't get the hatred towards another species, that's just weird and unhealthy. Poor cats and small dogs seem to get the brunt of it, I mean just look at these cakes.
We have a pair of each. I'm partial to snuggle-y pets. But everyone else is welcome to play Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock to determine who gets to be right.
P.S. I'm pretty sure Sheldon would say cats are better.
@Liz
Everyone knows Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock solves nothing and ends in a stalemate every time. :)
i live with 1 dog and 4 cats. that said, i'll take the cats over the dog everyday. nothing like a small herd of ungrateful, poorly behaved substitutes for children to put your priorities in order
This made me laugh till I was crying, in pain and had to pee. I needed that. And am still giggling like crazy. Thanks, Jen!
BBT FTW!!! I'm not ashamed to admit that I had to read no more than the first caption "Squashed kitties" (which I launched straight to without reading the post title of "Bazinga!") to know EXACTLY where this post was headed, and proceeded to sing song to my heart's delight through the rest of those horrendous kitty cakes. :)
I know too many people with crazy cats. Dog are where it's at. But you fried my circuit board with putting the dog putdown inside the Big Bang joke, so therefore I am not miffed at all. :D
I love my two little rugrat cats...one of which thinks he's part dog, as he loves to play fetch. I like dogs, too, as long as they're higher than my ankles. (Don't care for the little bitty, yippy types much; you know, the ones that are smaller than my cats...) The cakes, though, are pretty hilarious because they're so downright wrecktastic! (And some of the most horrific representations of our companion pets I've ever seen!)
There's an old joke whose punch-line goes something like "Shave its ass and teach it to walk backwards.". . .
I still don't get it. Why do people fight about cats and dogs? They're both AWESOME!
I am highly allergic to cats but never liked them anyway.
Dogs rule....end of story.
anyone else cool enough to have the "soft kitty warm kitty little ball of fur! happy kitty sleepy kitty purr purr purr" t-shirt? anyone? anyone? no? ok, so I can go back into my little hole of lonerness now. :-)
Creepy 'kitty' looks more like a donkey
