I will admit to doing something almost like this to our cats. They get canned food twice a day, and dry when they want a snack. One fine morning I staggered out of bed, down the stairs, into the kitchen, went to grab the last can of cat food…and found out that that last can of cat food that I’d’ve sworn was there wasn’t. Got dressed and ran to the store REAL quick, as the cats glared at me in confusion and insisted they were starving, because who in their right mind would eat that DRY crap you leave out in that bowl you just refilled after topping it off before bed?

Maxie shook his head slowly; “Well, count me in, Megan. I’ll do everything I can for you. Tre-C mentioned you speak Dog in several different dialects. I don’t. Can you still use me?” Megan looked Max over slowly from head to tail, then smiled; “Oh, yes… I still consider you an asset. We can make you multi-lingual another day.” Tre-C sat back on her haunches; “If I can us a phrase the humans seem to like, I’d like to address the elephant in the room; what’s the gain in shutting down one fight location?” “Actually, Kitten, that’s a very good question. Let’s go back to the deli- this may well be the perfect time to give you the full explanation of ‘Catch as Cats Can’, and exactly what it is that I do. And have done.”
Hey, kitties, didn’t he say he was about to “dash out”? Doesn’t that sound urgent to you? I know, they just don’t appreciate the gravity of the situation from cat perspective. Wait till they need toilet paper to see some urgency!
I love the little heart and the tenderness between the Man and the Woman despite the distress of the Boys. Awww! They’ll have to remember to buy toilet roll. ;-)
Puck’s lowered eyebrows, Elvis’s little paw of rage, Lupin’s claws – inquiring minds want to know how the People could miss these signs that the Boys. Are. Not. Happy.
Foolish humans! Have you never watched the Japanese Godzilla documentaries? Irresponsible human behavior will unleash the wrath of creatures such as Fluffapurrus Rex! On your own heads be it. (My comment on the original strip).
How To Put Toilet Paper In The Holder. A. Households without cats: insert so that the end comes from the back over the top, allowing ease of access. B. Households with cats: insert so that the end is next to the wall. No matter how much the cat paws at it, it will not unroll. ;D
Considering the look on Pucky’s face, I hope the message he’s hearing is not that all operators are napping now, but your call is important to us, please stay on the line and someone will be with you eventually. Lupin’s Talons of Death are amazing and most of all, Elvis’s line sums up what every cat in the world has thought more than once about their humans. Often more than once a day
My kitty Emmet did that once. A trail leading from the bathroom, going left, around the long couch, and there he was, buried in toilet paper! Keep in mind, he was about 1 month old.
I had two cats, brother and sister, who used to tag-team me on the toilet roll. One would distract me while the other grabbed the end of the roll in his mouth and ran out of the bathroom, unravelling as he went! Frodo is no longer with us, but Savannah still performs the occasional solo heist.
Onyx managed to dodge a vet visit yesterday because sis couldn’t find her. Today she found her hiding in the big closet downstairs, which doesn’t have a track on the bottom of the sliding doors so they swing & can be pushed far enough for a cat – even a chubby chunk like Onyx – to squeeze through.
Now that sis has found the Secret Hiding Place, Onyx has another date with the doc tomorrow afternoon. Sis says she’ll start looking for her in the morning & shut her in the bathroom until it’s carrier time.
Oh, & the baby gate didn’t work. Chubby as Onyx is, she managed to squeeze between the slats & get downstairs.
“911, what’s your emergency?” “There’s only food around the edges of the bowl!!! I can see the bottom of the bowl!!!” “Have you tried yowling loudly while pawing at the human’s face?” “Yes!! They just rolled over and started snoring!!!” “OMC, you’re gonna die!!!” “I know!!!!!!”
I am a firm "Toilet paper unrolls from the front guy. They print the pattern on the top after all. But “I have a cat” is a good reason to roll from bottom. Or small children.
