Two Cats in a Frying Pan Will Start Your Day Right
Breakfast, as they say, is the most important meal of the day. So why not start things off with a nice, healthy cat omelet? And look -- two of them have already climbed into a frying pan for you. We're kidding, of course. We don't condone eating cats. (Usually.)
