CATS EAT FLIES. AND LICK THEIR OWN BUTTHOLES. MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.

Would You Buy Your Cat This $300 Food?

We all spoil our pets, right? I’m certainly guilty of it. My dog’s favorite things are bully sticks, which are literally dried bull penises. They cost about $1 a pop and that’s kind of splurge for an animal who can amuse herself by licking her own butt.

Trump's Announcement On Transgender People In The Military: An Act Of Selfish Cruelty (Shocker)

Poor Rachael Ray Is Definitely Not Becky With The Good Hair

In the midst of this firestorm was poor Rachael Ray, who has never been linked to JayZ in any way. The only thing she did was have a name similar to Rachel Roy, so she’s feeling the sting.
