Model KN VV00F, otherwise known as Hello, and congratulations on becoming the proud new owner of an Our Father Inc. pet unit! With proper care your pet can provide years of fun and companionship, all with less expense and emotional drain than our WYBTTCH Female Human unit!

As you know, we here at Our Father Inc. strive for perfection in everything we do. We continually strive to improve our products (and on that note, we'd like to apologize for the whole "Israel" thing), and we are diligent in fixing our mistakes. If you have owned a pet in the past, you might notice a couple changes in your new unit. Don't stress out, though! We are confident that this model is 100% more reliable, efficient, and user friendly than previous incarnations.

So read this guide, make sure you understand the changes, and have a blast! If you like our changes, feel free to drop us a line – it's always good to hear from someone who doesn't want something.

Cats


Cats can no longer introduce themselves by barging into a room and saying "how are you gentlemen". Instead they rub against your ankles and purr.

Buttoncat makes every Geocities page smell like love! And pee! Cats have become great pets you'd want to keep around the house. We've transformed them into dogs.

Repaired glitch that replaced "curiosity" with "crippling alcoholism" in some models.

Newer models ignore air dusters and flushing toilets. Instead they fear alienating friends and family and dying alone.

Instead of dragging fresh kills to the front porch, revamped feline models scour the neighborhood for pornography, drugs, and ill-gotten money and burn their findings in the town square.

Fixed glitch that caused some Himalayan Longhairs to travel at the speed of light, effectively allowing them to catch that damn laser pointer.



Birds


Due to a recent patch that allows fish to perform simple tricks in exchange for food, birds are now officially the gayest pets a person can have. Sorry about that. Disinterested Generic Bird ignores the $20 toy you bought it with twice the gusto of previous models!

Larger claws allow speaking models to rap each other in the knuckles with a ruler when they use poor grammar.

Many models now excrete balls of yarn instead of feces, making interaction with cats infinitely more entertaining.

With these fixes in mind we're sure you'll find your new pet to be even more fun and useful than your last! If not, you can take it up with the big guy. I'm sure he won't mind taking some time off from saving dying children and solving world crises to make your cat "not suck as much", you selfish jerk.
