I wanna talk a moment about Earl Grey.

My whole life I avoided it, because I assumed from the floral scent of the leaves, that it must taste like ass.

I recently bought a box on some sort of unexplainable whim.

It is such a wonderful late afternoon pick-me-up!

Other cats won't bring you teabags but will give you them while you're sleeping.

This morning our cat dug a discarded piece of plastic out of the trash and dropped it on me to wake me up for breakfast. Buddy, I get you think this is just as cute as dropping any of your other toys in the bed, but come on…

Anything that didn’t come out one end or the other and wasn’t killed isn’t that bad overall, though.

The plastic piece actually was a gift for your cake day. We all sent it to your cat for delivery.

We hope it found you well.

Oliver is a sweet, handsome boy doing his very best with the one brain cell that was given to him. A 10/10 good kitty, that he is.

If you can find Lady Earl White, I recommend it.

It’s seasoned like Earl gray, but on a white tea base, and it’s just lovely.

At first it seems like Star Trek is some kind of utopian vision of the future. Until you realise that the replicators' default setting for earl grey tea is to serve it cold.

Plot Twist: Your cat used to play Quake competitively.

After the neutering, this is all he has.

He's a ginger cat and in his defense, the teabag has a tail.

That sounds amazing. I love Earl Gray but I've always preferred green and white teas, so thanks for the tip!
