Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
This is the big drawback of living with humans. One can live with the fact that they are not very bright. Their ability to open tins and produce fuzzy blankets makes up for that. But from time to time they go mad. Just when you have organized everything to you liking, they change things that do not need to be changed. They buy a new sofa, or have another child, or, worst of all, move!
Iâm with Robin Harwood. The âfeatured commentâ should more correctly be labeled âtodayâs annoyanceâ for thatâs what it is. Requires the user to make more effort to see the comments, messes with the screen, uses bandwidth, etc etc ad nauseam. Does GoComics have anyone on staff who understands âuser-friendlyâ??
When we moved to our current apartment, we walked over with Yum Yum. Being a Siamese, she shrieked hysterically the whole way there, to the point where we were stopped by a police car and asked politely what the !#%# we were doing to the poor cat! We explained that we were moving and she is Siamese. "Nuf said.
Pucky always seemed to be the cat whoâd most likely just say âto heck with itâ and go to sleep in the carrier. Elvis, of course, is the one whoâd be yowling his fool head off.
I think I understand their attitude. Perhaps the last time they were taken hostage, they were taken to a âprisonâ and âshotâ full of a truth serum and forced to give up all of their sources. (aka a visit to the vets)
I just want to say . . thank you Georgia for never failing to put a smile on my face even when I feel like my heart is breaking. Iâve slipped into a very dark depression since this past weekend and I canât seem to shake it, but reading BCN works a magic that can lift me up beyond the gloom.
Hah, I knew there would be massive betrayal after yesterdayâs comic. Treats, forsooth. As if treats could ever make up for such indignity.
Our cat is actually subjected to the carrier (currently using a little kitty rucksack with mesh windows she can look out of and a bit of fleece blanket to sit on) twice a week, as my partner and I donât live together and swap flats twice a week. Sheâs pretty good about it, she likes having two territories, but occasionally she isnât really in the mood for the dreaded five minutes in the carrier and hides somewhere. We tend to lure her out by pretending itâs not happening, finishing packing, and then playing the piano to show that itâs OK, nothing happening here, you can trust us, tra la la.
Or treats. Last weekend I was ill and we were all a bit stressy, and we used a treat to help lure her out from under the futon, giving her the other half as soon as we got to my flat. The next evening we decided to sleep in separate flats as Iâm still ill, and my partner gave her a treat before he left. He broke it up, threw bits which she scampered after, and put the last bit on top of my bedroom bookcase, as is our tradition. She hid under the bed! As soon as he left, she came out, climbed the carpet weâve put on the side of the wardrobe for her, trotted along the first bookcase, jumped over the door, trotted along the second bookcase, picked up the treat, and jumped down again, as she always does. She must have thought she was going to be packed again, poor love, and was Not In The Mood. Normally sheâs absolutely fine, no struggling when sheâs put into the carrier and not a peep out of her on the short journey over, but she does react stressily when one of us is particularly ill.

Poor babies. And they wonât like it any better when they get out, either. But they WILL adjust.
