Addicted to Fags

I was chatting to a friend who said she's been trying to give up smoking. Since smoking is not allowed where she works, she's cut down on the amount she smokes. However, when she goes home there's no incentive to give up. She said her cat doesn't help either as he likes the smell of cigarettes. Before my friend adopted the cat, he lived with the neighbour who not only smoked fags but a lot of pot so the cat likes the smell. My friend said the cat even likes eating cigarette ashes, which she finds most peculiar.

Out of curiosity, I asked my friend what her cat's name was and it is....wait for it...Smoky.

No wonder the cat loves cigarette smoke. What a hoot!

Let this be a warning to all pet owners to choose their pets' names very carefully or else...

NB: "Fags" is a British slang for cigarettes.
