Done.  :P

This is Elwood. We got him the same time as another kitty who I, unfortunately and sadly, had to put down. Both were rescue kitties. His name was Jake so they were the Blues Brothers of course.

You cannot view this attachment.

And this is Ginger. Ginger was another rescue who suffered some kind of severe trauma before we got her. Her left pupil is triangular shaped and does not dilate. She had to have bladder stones removed awhile back and the vet said most of her internal organs had lots of scar tissue. So she was either hit by a car or abused by some a$$hole.

There is only one "Football" - "American Football" - the rest is all "Soccer"!!!   :P
Just kidding, I am not a fan of either. But couldn't resist posting that. (I had witnessed almost a war on another forum years ago about "Football" vs "Soccer")
The sport is almost a religion to some, by whatever name they might call it.

Well to be fair it's mostly just two of the three North American countries calling it 'soccer', but it's quite a big population so that could be why it seems like a big debate when it reality it isn't :P
Not really sure if there's a third (or more) countries calling it soccer instead of football, maybe Australia?
