Sidewinder,
Side,
My 5 year old Bengal cat read your post and is not very happy. It does
not pay to piss off a Bengal- especially one who is only 4 generations
removed from her Southeast Asian Leopard Cat ancestors.
She wants me to contact my daughter's 3 15 pound cats so they can all
come to watch your car get teched for the first time next season.
