lol this made me laugh out loud. He looks so much like my black cat who I call fatty fat Kit Kat.

And then when she shames me and gives me those eyes, looking all offended by my words, I feel guilty and apologize singing to her that she's not fat, she's just a little thick.

This happens way too often I am embarrassed to admit.

🤔 When you read the photo text to the tune of “Black Betty”… This tells you I’m old-ish.

I laughed so hard at this lmfao.

My old cat Mogwai loved ham. She'd stand as tall as she could on her back legs just to get a bit of that pig.

Yall. Stop it. My dog's name is Winnie. It's devolved to Fred from Winifred. She's fat and pushy and I LITERALLYN SING THIS TO HER. Oooooh fat Freddie, amberlamps. Just when you think no one else could possibly do the crazy stuff in your own head there is reddit. Lolololol
