The Post that Tests the Rest

This is One You’ll Want to Read From Top to Bottom

So I am actually very appreciative of the MPP changes that started yesterday. It inspired me to complete this one, that I actually started in August, but was unable to finish until recently. There were some very valid reasons for me to take so long to complete this piece, including losing use of my entire left hand. Read about that here

But the bigger reason I’m so grateful for the changes, are that now I get to share this current piece of wonderful dreck with you all.

This post that is a whopping 1006 words and a 5 minute read, is the test article I needed to do data collection. Includes a bonus listicle about cat testicles, especially for:

Kristi Keller Justine Reed Kent Leatham Peggy Gillespie Hazelwood Meaghan Ward Eric Griggs Rush's Monkey Mick Guinn

Sorry if I missed anyone that you just know in your heart should have been tagged. Feel free to share.

You’re welcome.

PS My cats typed this, and they are being paid in fresh Little Friskies canned cat food. They are really thrilled, and thank you for your support. With the money generated by this and several other pieces I write this month, I’ll be able to get them a couple premium cans. They are so happy.

And their typing is about what my typing looked like in July.

I’m going to go wash dishes now, but I’ll come back and check on them and to add some regular English language updates, as they progress on their tome.

Scroll down carefully so you don’t miss any of the good parts.

Clearly trying to let the their cat friends from far away find us. POK is abbreviation for Poughkeepsie, where we live. I always wondered how so many more feral cats managed to find our front door.

A candid of cat hard at work.

And here’s a poem about washing dishes. This is why I let the cats type, and I don’t let them wash dishes. That, and they splash the water everywhere.

I had to come in and break it up.

One cat fell asleep and the other woke him up and it got quite loud.

Did you enjoy this?

My cats did. They also can’t believe you scrolled all the way to the bottom.

If you just read this, and thought it was mildly funny, and are perhaps prone to provoking Pfft’s and occasional laughs with your words, why aren’t you writing for MuddyUm yet?

Maybe you are just finding us for the first time. Cool. Check us out.
