1. Cut out the holes. 2. Put YOUR cat in the bag. Happily, I have never seen these commercials.

"and it turned into something weird on the internet." That's always the way isn't it?

Oh Lordy, this is pitiful. Have you ever had a Checker Burger? Horrid.

Never heard of the place. Although I hope they get in legal trouble because of this.

Yeah, don't try to put a cat in a bag shirt.

When I think back and remember all the times I tortured Boo Boo Kitty with doll clothes and baby strollers. Poor kitty.

If this is the same Checkers we have around here, they're really pretty tasty.

Haven't seen any weird cat/bag cross-promotions from them, though.

If I tried to do this to my cat she would rip my fucking arm off.

A couple of my mom's cats would be strangely okay with it though. (Not that I would do this but two of her cats are so laid back that they just wouldn't give a shit. And I'm guessing one of them would be like, "This is so awesome. It's my own paper bag with holes that I CAN WEAR AROUND THE HOUSE." Because he likes to sleep in paper bags and occasionally drags them around mom's house.

deadcowdan, my husband likes Checkers too, maybe it's just me. It's grease city, but isn't all fast food. I haven't seen the promotions either.

One: Cut a hole in a bag
Two: Put your cat in that bag
Three: Make her open the bag
And that's the way you doooooo it!

It sounds totally awesome to me; I don't see the problem.

I had a cat once that would let me vacuum him. He kept attacking the vacuum cleaner (while most cats run off or at least wander away from the noise) and I put the wand against his fur and he was totally unconcerned about it. If he rolled around in the dust, I could just clean him off with it and he didn't give a shit. That cat could have been put in a paper bag with no problems.

My dad's cat loves brown paper bags. I don't get this.

My cat loves brown paper bags too. He climbs into them and sticks his head out the handles so that he can drag the bag with him! He'd think it was fun!

Like a furry hermit crab!
