Panel #1 luddie is behind Arlo, panel #4 Luddie is on the steps as if coming upstairs. Now that I’ve stated the obvious anybody have a clue? Shall we play Clue ?
Friends who live in the country had this happen once, but it was a playful scramble from two puppies someone had dropped off inside their house. They already had an older dog. Mutt and Jeff were cute additions, and new watch dogs.
Hey, pets can be scary. My daughters and I were watching a horror movie one night when they were in their teens and on of them got up to use the bathroom. She was turning lights on as she went. She got to the toilet, promptly screamed and ran back jumping over the back of the couch. The wife and I laughed, the other girls were terrified. I said, “What happened?” She said it is a good thing I was on the pot. The dog licked my foot and I pee’d"
Those thinking that Janis was sleepwalking and Luddie saved her from falling down the stairs, I am in agreement with you. When I was younger I had to habit of sleepwalking and my parents always feared I would fall down the stairs accidently so they never allowed me to have the bedroom closet to stairs, I always had to have one farthest away. I was in my early 20’s before I was able to have the bedroom by stairs and that is only because me and ex husband had just got married and were living with parents until we both got full time jobs, we were both working partime so couldn’t afford a place of our own and we didn’t want to wait any longer to get married so parents let us live with them. and the bedroom by the stairs was the largest one. my parents had separate rooms because she was a night owl who liked to read in bed but Dad had to get up at 4 am to go to his commercialo cleaning jobs so they took the two smaller rooms.

So you’re not sure of anything

Looks mysterious. The ghost that dropped in on Janis years ago never even touched her, much less attacked her. And Luddie was downstairs.

Y I K E S! All right Arlo! Time to man up!

Ludwig moved farther away. Guilty or afraid?

If you’re going to have crap scared out of you the bathroom is where you would want to be… “I think.”

Arlo might finally get to try that recipe for kitty kabobs

It is Jan 6th, maybe Luddie was staging a revolt? Janis needs to make sure her laptop is still in her office.

Shoutout to the great artwork in this storytelling.
Foreshadowing of the third panel of the first strip, with Luddie being at the foot of the bed as Janis passes by.
Then the use of color to amplify Janis’ scream yesterday.
Did Luddie do it? or was he quick to run to her aid?

Our gentle giant clawed my wife’s hand a couple of nights ago, he caught her on a vein and she bled more than I’ve ever seen from a cat scratch
Blue is not one of those cats that claws when he’s had enough petting
He does sometimes tries to stop us from taking our hands away when he hasn’t had enough

I still think a mouse ran over her foot.

Janis never liked Ludwig, the one thing that irks me about this comic. I hope this isn’t going to go dark.

Janis nearly stumbled down the stairs and the cat saved her life.
jmarkow11 over 1 year ago
I think there might be a strange cat, or other animal, in the house. Or Janis was dreaming

It was luddie’s pet rat, with a slice of pizza, under the sink.

If it comes to a choice between Janis and Luddie, I would know what to do . . .

One of Ludwig’s nine lives split off?

“The cat attacked me!” Who refers to their pet as “the cat” instead of by name???

Going back to the Jan 3rd strip maybe a dark arc coming.

Some wild animal is in the house?

Okay, here is my guess. Janis was sleep walking and Ludwig saved her from falling down the stairs by waking her the only way he comes how.
locake over 1 year ago
Is Janis sleepwalking? She is not sure if she was in the bathroom, so she was not fully awake.
Shonkin over 1 year ago
She was sleepwalking.

The cat was sleeping on the bed

I am definitely not a cat person and don’t like most of the ones I have met, but I am pretty sure, Ludwig wouldn’t have attacked Janis…..
