You may remember this Formal Cat Portrait featuring "Basil" and his owner Luke from WEST VIRGINIA. I posted it in my Sunday Bonus Video, and today I received THIS letter from high-powered lawyer John Bowman.
Dear Mr. Leavins:
As the known proprietor of
cutewithchris.com, I am writing to tell you that you face possible
civil charges...
This is madness I tell you!

What a turd for sending you such a lame letter.
And what a gift, at the same time...

Hahaha, Love their letter, but I have to agree with you Chris, that is not up to standards. YOU CANNOT HOLD THE CAT! It is not a prop, it is a key member of the photo.

"John". Pwned by Chris, in CALIFORNIA.

that picture doesnt compare with all of the other cat portraits.
however, i give the gay guys props for figuring out a way to get their 15 seconds of fame on CWC
=)

gosh! are these guys law students for real?
the mere fact that they submitted their pictures on their own accord (they are not coerced or whatnot) means that they are granting Chris permission to do whatever he wants with them. Chris becomes the rightful owner of these pictures and he can post or not post them.
peace *V*

LMFAO "YOU CANNOT HOLD THE CAT! It is not a prop, it is a key member of the photo."
I heartily agree, heretowith. Those law student roommates and their many cats, treating pets like their lessers. Hmph.

Just a thought...
Remember Henry 6, Part 2, Act 4 Scene 2 71-78. It gives clear direction when dealing with lawyers.

Let's face facts on this one, we are talking about law students from WV. I'm not even sure they have real colleges there. I am from Ohio, I am required by law to make jokes like that.

Huckabee is a cute cat, let's give him credit where it's due. His owner being a goof doesn't make the kitty any less cute. And Huckabee has lasers and can kill us.
Today's assholes are ....
I could have so written that letter better than he did. Well, Chris could have written it better than he did, come to think of it,and better than me. Huckabee probably could have composed something just as good as what was sent, truth be told.
Lawyer cats are cute.

I'm also a law student and when I get home for Christmas, I intend to bombard you with pet photos.
I was gonna write down all the reasons why they can't sue you in West Virginia, or anywhere else, but the description was way too long.

Chris, I cant believe you showed the photo of that asshole. Grow some balls would you. Maybe you shold just bend over and take it like a pussy. Pussy cat that is... :)

I have to say that holding the cat opposed to "posing" with his cat can not be called a "formal" cat portrait. You're bad, loser!!!
Posted by: April | December 11, 2007 at 02:48 PM
Wait a minute, we don't care about your Lawsuit Chris: They are gay, lawyer, fan of CWC, funny, cats lover and totally cute: Only one question guys: ARE THEY SINGLE?

gold, absolute gold.

Go chris!!! Those laywers -if the have the balls to actually sue- would definatly not win, because once they send you the picture, in your Guidelines it says you have the right to choose which ones you put in or not doesnt it?
Posted by: Marissa | December 11, 2007 at 03:18 PM
That's some good gayface...

Mike's picture is a fraud because that "cat" is actually a panda with mostly black fur.
Posted by: Luke (from West Virginia) | December 11, 2007 at 03:39 PM
"So, Mike..how did you become a lawyer?" - "I once had my first lawsuit reference by sueing an internet blog that deals with puppies and kittens". "Now, that's a reference!" ......BING! All your dreams are dead.
Posted by: Jules | December 11, 2007 at 03:40 PM
Also, I would never use Basil as a prop because I respect his kitty autonomy. He has a constitutional right to choose not to be held.
Posted by: Luke (from West Virginia) | December 11, 2007 at 03:41 PM
Your modifications are so much better! Show them high and mighty laywers Chris... I mean, MyLord!
