               The Top 9 Pet Peeves of Cartoon Pets


9> We bust our tails doing stunt work all day long, but do we get
    to do any sex scenes? Nooooo! Not even any leg humping.

8> Playing straight man to a clearly less-adorable owner.

7> Good-for-nothing agents who totally botch negotiations for more
    episodes where cats are victorious over mice.

6> Having to affect a lisp when in fact capable of perfect diction.

5> WB's HMO refuses to pay for Lasik surgery. (Tweety Bird only)

4> Catch the cat, smash him to a pulp, and he's redrawn good as
    new the very next day.

3> All the really lucrative endorsement deals go to live-action
    pets.

2> The farthest you can chase a car is a measly three panels.


          and the Number 1 Pet Peeve of Cartoon Pets...


1> The body rehabs quickly after being smashed behind a door, but
    the soul hurts for weeks.
