    Um, thanks, I guess! I was about to go and get breakfast, but I think I'll wait for a bit... I went to the site, and I loved the following comment from "justfrosting:"

    "Wow! Are these yummy looking...even cannibals need a cake."

    (To make things perfect, my verification word is "thoprode," which sounds like an uncomfortable medical procedure.)

Is Cartoon Cat a creepypasta?

One person answers the question on a forum website and they say that Cartoon Cat is not a creepypasta. Yes, there was one answer to the question. Now there are two!! What is creepypasta? Who is Cartoon Cat? As I understand it, "creepypasta" is a sort of slick, hip but misleading description for unnerving stories posted on the Internet designed to shock people.  It seems to me that the scary Cartoon Cat could be involved in a creepypasta story. His whole reason for existing is to scare people and create creepypasta so I disagree with the guy who says that Cartoon Cat is not creepypasta.  I think I see the point, though.

I don't watch much TV, but JB suggested I check out "The Closer", because the cat "Kitty" appears in various episodes. And, the LA connection- "The Closer" is set in LA, where I more or less grew up- VG= "Valley Girl". What JB didn't know- I grew up reading mysteries and police procedurals and watching Perry Mason! Timely advice- the new season of The Closer starts on June 8, and June is American Humane Association’s Adopt-A-Cat Month® So... first step was to see what was on YouTube showing Kitty in The Closer. This was it: One YouTube- Season 2, Episode 13- "Fritz left the door open"- Kitty vanishes, and then... Direct link is here. Other parts of the Kitty story are below- and btw, "Brenda" i

A  harlequin cat is a cat with a predominantly white coat and a few colour-patches. The picture shows you: Harlequin cat. Photo: Buzzfeed Harlequin cats are not a cat breed. We are describing a type of cat coat. The pattern is caused by the white-spotting gene (piebald gene) which masks the cat's true colour. It usually appears in irregular patches. favouring the lower parts of the body.  Associated:  White spotting gene charts Other variants of white and black cats caused by the white spotting gene are: Mitted: white paws Locket: white patch on chest Buttons: several small white belly-patches Bicolour: half white and half coloured in patches Harlequin: as mentioned above Van: white coat with inverted V colour patch on the top of the head near the ears and on the tail Tuxedo: black cat with white legs, underside and chest or just a white chest Jellicle cat: black and white cat sometimes called jellicle cat.
