The Minister's Cat

The minister's cat is an atomic cat  The minister's cat is a bubonic cat  The minister's cat is a cracked cat  The minister's cat is a doomed cat  The minister's cat is an electrified cat  The minister's cat is a frozen cat  The minister's cat is a ghostly cat  The minister's cat is a headless cat  The minister's cat is an impaled cat  The minister's cat is a jaundiced cat  The minister's cat is a klutzy cat  The minister's cat is a liquified cat  The minister's cat is a mummified cat  The minister's cat is a nauseous cat  The minister's cat is an ominous cat  The minister's cat is a petrified cat  The minister's cat is a quarantined cat  The minister's cat is a roadkill cat  The minister's cat is a skeletal cat  The minister's cat is a terminated cat  The minister's cat is an unstable cat  The minister's cat is a vampire cat  The minister's cat is a wilted cat  The minister's cat is a xerodermatic cat  The minister's cat is a yawed cat  The minister's cat is a zombie cat  Erin, Mom, and sister are in the car  Erin: We've been playing this game for two hours  Mom: And we killed the poor cat 38 times before I lost count  Erin: Two solid hours  Sister: Let's play it again

Yes, 'xerodermatic' is a real word. 

The Minister's Cat is a game where you go round the circle and have each player come up with an adjective to describe the cat using a certain letter of the alphabet, then move on to the next letter when someone messes up.  The game generally ends when everyone gets sick of it and decides to leave the room.  On car trips, however, no one can really leave, so things tend to get ugly.  And then the cat dies.  Many, many times. 


My brother loves cats.  I think I hear him whimpering.
