Psst...we're breaking out at midnight
It is with anxious anticipation that I address you all this evening. My name is Bastsan (it means son of Bast, the Greek goddess of cats) although my slave name is Butthead. I implore and beseech you all for support in our time of utter desparation. I speak on behalf of my five fellow felines: Fartsaplenty, Mullet, Jenna Jameson, Gandalf, and Queen Amidala.We're making a break for it tonight. We've got to get the hell out of here before we puncture a bottle of Prestone anti-freeze open and lap it up like heavy cream. Let me start from the beginning...
I have not had an easy life. Born in the backseat of a burnt out Chevy Nova on the streets of Detroit, I learned the hard way that life was not going to be bowlfuls of organic tuna and feline denistry. My mother was - shall we say - a scarlet woman, a painted lady, a tomato...working girl, if you will. Ay, it was a rusty way of life but she did what she must to support her litters. I am sure I would do the same had I birthed into this world 47 little ones.
As I grew from a fuzzy, mangy roust-a-bout into a young prowler, I began to embolden myself by shooting through traffic with such nimbleness and poise that my nickname of the street was "Dash'n Death." I was also known for my speed and accuracy in killing park pigeons.

And then one day...all of a sudden...after eating a dead cockroach, I started seeing double. I was literally walking into corner after corner and pissing on everything in sight. My legs finally gave out and I feel asleep on top of a subway grate and I remember being soothed by the warm rush of air flushing out from the tunnel below. I dreamt a vision of my mother, fornicating with a junkyard dog named Duke whom she was used to visiting because he let us share his kibbles and I heard her lovely voice squeak, "It's time to leave me now, Bastan. I love you. Harder, harder. Mommy loves you."
Next thing I know I see a wonderful flash of light and I raise my head groggily. I see a wonderful smile and bright, white teeth and suddenly think of my mother. And then I remember that the city animal control pulled all of her teeth after she mauled that pure-breed Siamese. It was a human! Too weak to fight it, I just laid my head down on the pavement and prayed for feline leukimia. However, when I woke up, I was lying in a puffy, feathery comfortable bed that made me want to stretch myself out into a giant circle! My nostrils were flailing as well. What was the non-irritating, gorgeous, oily smell? I sniffed the air above me and registered nothing. I brought my paw to my face and realized it was me! I didn't smell like feral urine and exhaust fumes anymore - which I sorta liked- but this was so much better.
I arose from my slumber and scoped my surroundings for two hours and fifty-five minutes. Suddenly, the human I had dreamt of just before I passed out popped back into the room. His smile was so gentle and friendly. He approached me with a ramekin of fresh tuna and poetically massaged my head. He said, "Hey Buddy! I'd like to introduce you to someone. Nana, come on in.
