Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 10, 2014

Would a Shogun cat commit Seppuku to avoid going to the vet?

“Call for Shogun….calling Mr Shogun.”

Accurate date on the calendar. Today is the 10th.

Mark Rogers, the author and illustrator of the Samurai Cat books, died on February 2nd.A tribute?

A Shogun cat would commit Seppuku on YOU.

Cybil looks quite fearsome in her samurai costume. Also, out of her samurai costume. You might have to re-schedule, Lio, in order to maintain your bodily integrity….

Classic tranq gun vs Samurai Sword.

Well… that was unexpected!

Forget the cat, this is my son if he’s due for a shot … and he has a black belt in tae kwon do.

Here we go again.

I’ve been there!

My cousin wrote a comic book about a feline samurai! It’s on the web. If I had the link, I’d provide it for you, but I don’t.

That’s not going to happen.

Just like my little cat, “Neutron!” She has a long (14 years) history of attacking vets on the annual shot day. Once she was referred to as a “tiny terrorist!”

I think this is what my cats think when we say ‘vet.’
