Reminds me of the bat in the Mighty Mouse cartoons who decided to become a costumed crimefighter. He’d go on superhero missions dressed as a… bat. Yep, called himself Batbat.

I know she’s dressed as a witch, but Georgia is a monster.

Putting cats in costumes is animal cruelty. It can also lead to human cruelty for the one who put it on the cat. Only 2 of my rescues are declawed. The rest have the full arsenal and are willing to use it. And no I would NEVER EVER DECLAW a cat, poor things were that way when I got them.

my cat would be out of that costume in 10 seconds flat. I tried a harness so we could teach him to walk on a leash. I was watching him and I still don’t know how he got that thing off so fast!

Come on, people, please! Let’s save the adjectives and outrage for Real cruelty, the kind that actually hurts, maims or kills the cat. Just because it isn’t what you would do doesn’t make it an offense. Assuming she didn’t cram hysterical cats into costumes, if a cat doesn’t object and freak out, or go catatonic, what is the harm? Don’t give me “it hurts their dignity.” The dear things lick their butts at dinner parties. I know lots of cats that don’t mind playing dress up. Mine won’t, so I just don’t do it. And I am sorry, but if you really think sweet Georgia is a monster, then you probably need to drop the strip, go read few serial killer biographies for a clearer sense of the word, and then come back and apologize for making such a hurtful comment.

Fantastically hilarious. I love your a wonderful artwork. The boy’s expressions are especially adorable!

I agree, this is hilarious. They are just in costume long enough to take a picture so they can become internet sensations. (nobody is saying anything about the baby)

This such a lovely strip, how could anyone get upset with such a beautiful comic, these are pretty lucky kitties to have such a loving home X

Lupin is a cute dragon-these cats seem very tolerant anyway if you look at the photos of them. They only had to put up with it long enough to get the photo with the baby-no harm and very funny.

The People really missed an opportunity — why not dress Elvis up as - - - - Michael Jackson?

I’ve seen more dogs in costume than cats (more amenable, perhaps?) Some grin and seem to love it. Some look like miserable teenagers who are about to be kissed by great-aunt Sadie. But what makes anyone think that there aren’t lots of other stupid human things we do every day that our animals just put up with? My main objection to today’s strip is that you can’t see Elvis with his fur bombed out in indignant outrage. And poor Puck….yes, Pucky, we all know you’re a boy. That’s a gentlemanbug costume you’re wearing. (Yes, of course there are gentlemanbugs. Where do you…ahem…think little lady- and gentlemanbugs come from? Anyway??

Love how Puck objects to being a Lady Bug! Obviously, he wouldn’t mind a costume that made him a Manly Bug! And Lupin just wants to be a dragonfly, not a dragon. Wonder what the baby wants to be since it doesn’t want to be an owl? I once saw a trick or treater baby pumpkin – adorable and most important, warm on a cold night.

I think this is just precious! My own cats wouldn’t stand for it, but I have known cats that would.

Even the baby objects, lol.

Come on people, don’t get your panties in a twist, It’s just until the pic is taken, Do you seriously think that Elvis will stay in his costume for more than 2 minutes? Georgia, We think this is adorable, AND we know no one loves their cats more than you do. Every strip is a love letter to them after all.

Poor Puck, reminds me of Francis in A Bug’s Life – always complaining that he’s not a lady . And Elvis is just priceless with his snarking
Red Ruffensor over 9 years ago
Hey, we have a bee cat costume. It gets pretty well the same reaction.
Coyoty Premium Member over 9 years ago
At least Lupin gets a cool pumpkin mug.
Vet Premium Member over 9 years ago
Well they have to learn that sometimes when giving out the news one has to put up with things like this.Imagine David Brinkley or Chet Huntley dressed like that for the evening news……HA!Walter Cronkite…..personally I think he would like it.
Mary Achary Premium Member over 9 years ago
Truly adorable and hilarious! I will definitely add “Breaking Cat News” to my list. Many thanks to the creator of this comic strip. He has good taste in names. (Naming one of the cat reporters “Elvis.”)

I think each of their costumes is rather suiting.
