Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 23, 2013

Wiley knows my cat, okay, all cats.

Cats have staff.

Spot on…

It’s hard wired into the feline genome. How else could they take over the INTERNET?

Our only defense against the overlord-ship of the domestic cat is the laser pointer. That red dot will drive them nuts.

Once worshipped as gods … uh, my cat, present day. expects to be worshipped as a god.

i didn’t realize the charter had expired!!

My kitty loves to sleep in the hollow of my waist. He’ll come up and “foof” at my face to wake me so I know to raise the covers to let him in… as I always do. He’s trained me well.

wrwallceil, thanks for reminding us about the threat from cute little fe-liars!…..My cat’s both promised me they wouldn’t knock over the cactus….Oh, sure, they’re cute, and you’d do anything for them, like me…..But nobody talks about the times when they get us alone, give us the ol’ Cheshire smile, and their eyes start glowing and shimmering and sparkling in your favorite colors and all of a sudden everything is ……..well it’s different every time isn’t it? Kind of a rush, actually…

We haven’t heard about Victoria for a while….

Cats??? Bark, snarl, growl.

A dog says, “You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, you must be God.”A cat says, “You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, I must be God.”

Cats are nocturnal, at night when the staff is trying to sleep, they are running about like banshees.

@Cat

Sorry, Garfield you’re NOT!!

Funny: as I began reading this comic, my cat lets loose with the 110 decibel MRRRROAWWWWARRR!, repeatedly [Cat to English translation: Where are you?! There are only 70 pieces of kibble in my bowl, all along the edge, I shall sturdy starve!]. As I shush her , she (sitting on the desk next to me) looks at me in surprise and at only 50 decibels, responds with “mrrrrttt?” Coupled with a purr, this means “Ah, there you are. Feed me?”; whereas without the purr and jerk of the body, means “Why did you wake me?”

Nailed it. When I check my comics links each day, I always look forward to your art work … unabashed hero worship.

So-called domesticated felines are a highly advanced race of beings spread throughout the Universe. Dark matter is an accumulation of their hairballs. Earth is where they send their decadents to live in lavish languor. OOPS! Did I let the cat out of the bag?

Reason number 211 why I prefer the company of dogs.

“Shouldn’t a hacked up fur ball become established, before the demanding of some food..?”-Ask Pooch Cafe… and Poncho…!

No way!

my cat will get right next to my face right around dawn. Then I get a gentle paw pushing on my cheek.

It’s a very sweet gesture, but I really wish he’d wait for about another half hour….

Reminds me of the one he did about twenty years ago. First two panels shows a cat sitting facing away. Third panel glances condescendingly over shoulder. Next two same as first. Last panel glances over shoulder and says, “You may pet me now.”

Oops, my mistake.."

-Maybe a little… there are some continuing cat/dog issues that have gone through… including the dogs thinking that cats’ hairballs are baby cats….Only reason I mentioned it.

the favorite place is my lap when I’m sitting in my recliner ….. seems to know within seconds that it’s available.

Wiley, have you been spying on my cats?

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots.All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat;She sits and sits and sits and sits—and that’s what makes a Gumbie Cat! — T.S. Eliot

too big for Pauly.

That sure is one fat cat. Kinda feel sorry for it.

I saw a pic recently of a death ray—four cats all sprawled out (and possibly deceased) in a swath of light from a window.

W forgot the text box bottom panel 7. ‘’Repeat hourly on every person in household’’

must be at least 3 other humans getting the treatment for shorthair to have that much spread.

Bella??????

Is Wiley ripping off Jim Davis’ Garfield?!?

reminds me of some people who use to work for me.Lazy and useless.

My middle cat is a little butterball just like that one!

We have this X 4 at our house. Couldn’t live without em!

Bah! cats…..they think they own you and you owe them…….dogs on the other hand spend their entire lives paying you back for that one trip to the shelter/pound were you freed them from certain death!

Omnius and emptc12…..Shhhhhhhh….Ixnay on the ecretsay…

See all Ya’ll on the other side…..

And in “Call Me Joe,” the avatar on Jupiter fights vicious feline-like caterpillars and domesticates their young. I think it was written by Frederick Pohl.

“Call Me Joe,” by Poul Anderson.

Just deleted a comment I was going to add to (hate it when I do that). No one will see this anyhow, because it’s the next day, but it’s kind of a record for me. I had said something like uh-oh. Back in the day, when I used to watch “Dr. Who” with my younger daughter, I would start dreaming about what was going to happen in the next episode. Sometimes I’d be spot-on with details. Then the evening before today’s strip ran in “Non Sequitur,” I started musing about the fact that Wiley doesn’t have cats in his strip. Then I remembered Pauly. So in today’s strip, up pops the cat. Also, a couple of days ago, Robb Armstrong’s arc was featuring elementary-school-age “Dr. Appleby,” and I started wondering what his school grades were like. Then it came out that he didn’t make a very good grade in science (turned out to be a “C”). Coincidence? Might be, but I’m looking forward to what else I might prognosticate!
