One I am sure most of you have seen, although it was a first for me.

HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL

1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if
holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's
mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand.

swallow.

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call
spouse from garden.

6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear

Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered
figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth
open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

That is one of the best jokes ever. The 1st time I read it I had tears rolling down my face with laughter.

Everyone who's owned a cat will SO relate to that

I've also seen it before, but it's one I could read time and again, it's sooooo funny. I was actually thinking of making it into a cross stitch, complete with little cat pics!!
