Hysterical!!

That pretty much sums it up. My Manx Harry actually puts his paw on the paper and holds it down for me so that I can cut it properly. He's a great helper, when he's not IN the box, sleeping. He'll fall asleep anywhere. My boyfriend went to the can a few weeks ago and went to pull up his pants and couldn't understand why they were so heavy: Harry had fallen asleep in the legs.

Thanks for the laugh.
