Settle down, Sister and settle down, Ngetal. I did not miss the day of law school in which premeditated animal cruelty was discussed (I actually noted the illegality of killing a cat in my posts). Chill out. Or, if you can't chill out then report me if you wish to do so. I believe that everyone else here clearly understood the humorous intent.
All of my pets are adopted or formerly abused strays. My children are required under the terms of my Will to perform a month of community service at an animal shelter before they can get any part of an inheritance from me. (Actually, they have to do one month to the homeless, one month to animal shelters and one month to disabled people before any inheritance). I, not my wife, have written checks to the North Shore Animal League each year. I have a HEATED F#@&ING CAT HOUSE ON MY DECK FOR THE f#@&ING CAT WHO WAS EXILED OUTSIDE FOR URINATING ON ME. Yeah, I am a pretty bad guy.
So, take a deep breath, read the following paragraph and then apply that paragraph to your reading of any of my posts in this thread:
Hyperbole, (from ancient Greek "ὑπερβολή", meaning excess or exaggeration) is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression,
but is not meant to be taken literally. With the word hyperbole it can also mean an exaggerated feeling about something. Hyperbole is used to create emphasis. It is a literary device often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech.
