Talking Craft, Crafts and Cats with Comedian Liz Miele

That's how Jeff Wysaski, the comedian behind Obvious Plant , came up with his very creative campaign for a local animal shelter. The cats he aimed to help out are all homeless, and his cute cards may help them find new owners. The cards wouldn't be an Obvious Plant gimmick, though, without a serious sense of humor. While all of the cats' 'likes' seem plausible, the 'dislikes' are generally more far-fetched. A cat named Sylvia apparently likes 'a quiet house', while Lola likes 'sleeping in a sunbeam'.

Delores loves 'staring out the window' and Leche likes 'being social'. Grace likes 'playing with her toys', Sabrina likes 'other cats', Dinky enjoys 'taking naps', and Gus has fun 'cuddling with his human'.

This cat is judging you: Camille is not a fan of fart jokes and things they are juvenile. Grace has a strong social consciousness and wishes Hollywood would stop casting mostly white actors. Their dislikes, which are also written on cards with their names and pictures, are less straight-forward, and much, much more imaginative. Sylvia dislikes 'when jazz musicians call each other cats', and the sign quotes her as saying: Delores dislikes 'the warlock's curse that turned her into a cat', and Leche isn't a fan of 'the growing wage gap between rich and poor that is resulting in the decline of the middle class'.

Lola, meanwhile, hates 15th-century feudal Japan, and her card includes the warning: She will not be happy. This cat named honey thinks birds are 'lousy sky wizards' who don't 'obey the laws of gravity'.

Reward Yourself

Sabrina's card sums up temperamental cats who seem to dislike a single piece of their owners' clothing for no discernible reason. Obi thinks people who do improv comedy are 'lazy hipsters', while Troy hates the way the world 'colonel is spelled. A cat named Guinevere does not like 'when someone picks the Rainbow Road on Mario Kart', Choccy hates '90s garage rock', Camille thinks people who make fart jokes should 'grow up'.

Mishka does not abide costumes, as her dislikes include 'being dressed up in a tiny business suit and brought to the office to meet your co-workers'.

Gus thinks badminton is just 'crappy tennis', Honey believes birds are 'lousy sky wizards that need to obey the laws of gravity', and Dinky doesn't care for being spoken to in a baby voice, since he is '36 in cat years'.
