SPEAKING OF CATS, SHOW OF HANDS WHO HERE HAS A CAT AT HOME.

WHO HAS A CAT AT HOME.

A FEW PEOPLE, FEW PEOPLE.

I OWN A CAT TOO, I AM A CAT OWNER, ALTHOUGH I DON'T FOE IF I

OWN A CAT AS MUCH AS A SHARE A HOUSE WITH A CAT, YOU NO HE WHAT

I MEAN, CAN YOU REALLY OWN A CAT.

I DONE EVEN KNOW IF MY CAT LIKES ME TB I DROP DEAD AS LONG AS I

DIDN'T FALL ON HIS FOOD BOWL, I DON'T THINK HE WOULD CARE AT

ALL.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

CATS ARE MEAN THOUGH, CATS ARE MEAN, THAT'S TRUE.

LIVING WITH A CAT IS LIKE FINDING A ROOMMATE ON CRAIGSLIST

AND THEN SIGNING THE LEASE BEFORE YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH

CABBAGE THEY EAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

(APPLAUSE).
