The Happy Cat Rating System for Cat Lovers and the Faint of Heart

  • 5 Happy Cats = No cat harmed whatsoever
  • 4 Happy Cats = A cat gets roughed up
  • 3 Happy Cats = A cat dies on-stage
  • 2 Happy Cats = A cat dies off-stage
  • 1 Happy Cat = A cat is tortured (the happy one is the one not being tortured)
    • via nightshadebooks.com
