How did they know the cat was salty? Did someone taste it?

Usually, this is known as “brining.”

One of our cats jumped in our pool, before I could get across to her she “dog paddled” and climbed out on the ladder! If I wouldn’t have seen it I wouldn’t have believed it!

Don't be silly, it all the Lone Star they drink. They get drunk and forget where they parked and try to walk home where they all seem to meet their tragic end.

Hilarious. Reminds me of an OU-Texas game I went to. I think.
