As I was checking my mail recently, I noticed a package on my porch. I was a little puzzled since I didn’t have any pending orders and when I picked it up I saw it had my address – but was addressed to my cat.
Curious, I took it inside and opened it up. It was a brush in the shape of a giant tongue with knobs on one end. The other end was a flat piece of rubber.
When I read the instructions I saw that the human in question was supposed to grip the flat piece in their mouth and then use the brush to lick their cat.
After all, cats like to lick humans as a sign of affection so it stands to reason that they would like it back.
The note in the package didn’t identify who it was from and I was really puzzled. Not “who would send me something like this?” but rather “Of all the mischievous and odd people I know, which of them would have sent this?”
It’s a surprisingly big list.
And, naturally, because I’m… well… me, I had to try it out.
The next time Jim was over, I asked him to get a video of the first attempt. If you haven’t seen it already, here you go:

Yeah, wow.
I did a little detective work and tracked it back to my former co-worker – and then his wife confessed it “might” have been her idea.
Really, though, it could have been any of a number of people and I wouldn’t have been surprised. I have some strange and fun and awesome friends.
The jury is still out on if my cat liked it, but he was licking me back and I guess that counts for something.
