Fellow Crazy Cat Ladies
Sadly, not everyone made it through election season with all of their senses intact. The View mediator Whoopi Goldberg issued a cry for help on today's show when she proceeded to read a letter to Barack Obama — "written" by her cat, Oliver. Barbara Walters voiced her concern, but Whoopi soldiered on, delivering a solid three minutes of awkwardness and uncomfortable giggles (skip to the 2:15 mark).

I thought it was very funny. Obviously she wasn't really serious.
I happen to agree with her!
p.s., cute cat.
Billy and Robin take note: this is what happens when you stop making Comic Relief specials.
"your cat looks like a dog" made me laugh though.
Reagan paused every 3 seconds during speeches, or something like that - it's one of the reasons people thought he was such a great speaker. But Whoopi's cat letter doesn't need all that drama. SPIT IT OUT LADY.
Some of us crazy cat people are truly hoping that the First Family chooses a cat this time.
We remember Socks the cat from the Clinton era with fondness.
But we're not weird.

Well, you sound pretty fucking weird to me Dan. And I'm a crazy cat lady myself. I think the president elect has spoken. :)
I can't see this video because my computer is 70 years old, but I do know this: My cat has written many an eloquent letter, and received many accolades for them. They will be published in BatShitCrazyCatLady magazine next month, so everybody, please make sure to pick up a copy. Panache would love your support, as would I.
I thought what Whoopi read was adorable. And her cat is a real cutie.
I just want to say that I have been watching Star Jones' E True Hollywood Story… and it's apparent everyone hates Rosie, not just that crazy story-maker-upper Sarah :-p
if my cats were to write a letter it wouldn't be about obama. their letter would go something like this:
"we asked for tuna today but instead you pet us. i was trying to tell you that the orange one took to long in the litter box when i needed it but instead you waved your stick with a feather on the end at me. what do you keep in that room i'm not allowed in?"
rosie probably eats kittens for breakfast and uses their fur to polish her crocs. possibly true story.
#10 that shiz was funny. So was Whoopi! Cat people are weird, and I embrace that.
That said, here is what my cat would write:
"Human, why do you try to hold me? If I wanted your affection, I would ask for it. Back off ho. All I need is for you to turn on the faucet when I poke it with my head and for you to leave plenty of plastic bags out so I can play with them loudly while you try to sleep. I'll bite you when the litter box is low. Otherwise, please leave me alone."
I'm pretty sure batshitcrazycatlady magazine was published by my mother and me.
Slayer, according to BatShitCrazyCatLady magazine, your cat has an anger management problem. The suggested treatment is: Reiki. That's right, Reiki is the suggested treatment. Make sure your Reiki practitionaer is wearing Crocs, that's the only way to ensure their authenticity.
*practitioner* is what I meant.

When Whittle thinks you're too obssesed with your cat, you've got issues, mang.
Comments 10 through 14 made me actually cry with laughter. So I'm pretty glad no one else gets to the office this early on a Friday.
Hello People. A cat is so much easier. I think they should get a Maine Coon cat. Bigger than some dogs and you do not have to walk them. My 20 pound coon is adorable. Does not scratch the furniture, uses his box and all around an adorable big cat. My next would be a Civet. LOL my husband would disown me for that one. Good one Whoopie
i don't think anyone was saying anything bad about cats. my 30 pound maine coon can kick your maine coon's ass. ;)
My 2 lb tabby (maybe a tabby?) would get her ass kicked by both your cats
the letters from deimos and slayer's cats nearly killed me. you guys are FUNNY.
"my 30 pound maine coon can kick your maine coon's ass."
might i recommend you check into puting that on pay-per-view as well. you can do an immediate follow up special where the loser gets reiki treatments. that double-ticket will make this thing a hit.
dude, Whoopi is a comedienne and its her job to say silly stuff.
Get over it, whitney. Not everyone is "cuckoo crazy" according to you.
I agree with Whoopi and Oliver. At least the Obamas should get one of each. We are an equal opportunity country.
