The Exploitation of Buck

Hey, it's me, Buck, the top kitty around here.. Listen, don't tell PETA or anything, but my family has been doing unethical experiments on poor helpless cats, namely me! I was just sitting around minding my own business tonight when I got this funny feeling that something was about to happen. Everybody was excited about something in the kitchen. It was a really weird vibe, man.


Then, I caught a whiff of something delicious. It was POPCORN, my favorite food in the whole world, next to Cheetos, which I don't get very often. Sitting on someone's lap, being sociable and cute, is all totally worth it, as long as POPCORN is involved!

Whatever was going on, at first I thought it wasn't going to be so bad. They let me lay back on the couch while they fed me as much popcorn as I wanted. Usually I have to reach out and try to grab it away from them with my paws. I will even use my claws if necessary, but this time they were giving it to me! I thought I was in heaven....

After a while, I started to not feel so great. Who knew that popcorn could fill you up so fast? But they kept it coming, and I kept eating. What? I couldn't resist. It was movie theater butter, my favorite.

I'm not usually such a glutton, or such a messy eater. And I don't usually display all of my private kitty parts quite so blatantly. I'm not sure I even knew they were taking pictures during this part. Things started to get kind of fuzzy around this point. I think all that sodium may have affected my tiny little brain.
At this point, I knew I had been taken advantage of, and I hate myself for it. Turns out they were doing a science experiment on me. Somebody's science fair is next week, and they got a little desperate for a project. So they used me. Without my permission. Without informing me of the risks and/or benefits. Without even telling me what they would be subjecting me to. I swear, I should report them to somebody. Here I am trying to clean myself up, as well as getting rid of some of the evidence.

I was completely out of it for a while. It took some time for me to get back to my old self. No lasting harm done, I guess, but then, I found out I have to do it all over again tomorrow night, only with caramel corn! My gut hurts just thinking about it. ( I do look pretty good for an old guy though, don't you think?)

What is caramel corn anyway?
