FUBO. If we hadn’t flushed Bin Laden, just think of the effect that being strafed by his corpse would have on the cave dwellers. The ‘Airwolf’ theme would add to the moment as well.

As a cat-lover I tried to be shocked and dismayed but I was laughing too hard. I wish I understood Dutch -- they've gotta be saying some weird stuff. My favorite part is when he's chasing the cows.

Yeah, this thread has potential. :)

You wouldn’t think they could have come up with something meaner to do to a cat than the Tabby Tote, would you?

and chasing cows with the thing just makes it worse. This is in bad taste.

LOL, I thought it was AWESOME, then again, I'm like a Jedi Master of bad taste.

I think this thing should be combined with with the "taco drone" that was in the news a couple months ago.

Just imagine the reaction if someone's cat passed away and you surprised them with the "quadcopter" version of kitty.

"Look honey, he's new and improved!"
