People control so much of a house catâs daily life, itâs not surprising that the people should be held responsible for falling leaves. Thereâs only so much one brave cat can do.
Elvis has quite the rep. Sounds like Lupin was right about who was to blame for the mysterious hairball. Wonder what Elvis was complaining about then, that he decided to deny he was to blame for not horking up a hairball at hairball oâclock.
âOne of the catsâ indeed. As a veteran of multiple households with more than one person and more than one pet I understand the manâs sentiment well.
One of my cats was diagnosed yesterday (Thursday) with diabetes. Now I get to make him take a pill once a day, and I get to give him shots twice a day. My joy knows no bounds.
âIgor (his butler) and Nanny (his housekeeper)attempted to bring him back by pouring blood into his awakening casket. But Nanny gave Igor a bottle of Tomato Ketchup by mistake, making this new Count Duckula a vegetarian vampire duck.â
Megan looked at Tre-C, Tre-C looked back at Megan. And they both grinned. So did Maxie. As it happens; he had seen that look before and knew the question coming up; âEighteen- two and, no, I was not the âruntâ of the litter.â Then he winked. Tre-C wanted to get past him. Immediately. Megan felt a faint weakness in her knees. She didnât know whether she was comfortable with that or not. âHowâd you hear about us, ladies?â Megan showed Maxie the Email. âWell,I knew you were special, gorgeous! Youâre on a list that didnât go out to a lot of catsâŠâ Then Maxie turned away slightly and spoke into something attached to his paw; âParty of two, VIF areaâ Tre-C looked quizzically at Megan; âVery Important Feline, Iâd guess..â âBob will be out in a moment to take you to your special seating area. Remember, your first indulgence is courtesy of the house- I recommend something from our exclusive dairy menu. Goes great with the Salmon âTemptationsâ.Hopefully, Iâll see you inside later, but our host âMr. Nibblesâ will be stopping by to make sure your needs are being attended to. Enjoy!â And as Megan and Tre-C followed âBobâ through the electric, double-door entry, they looked at one another and silently mouthed the words; âMr. Nibbles?â
When I was a kid, we used to have a cat that would âcomplain poopâ on my parentâs pillow whenever my dad went out of town â that is to say, twice a month.
In the second panel, itâs âOne little cat can do ONLY SO MUCH,â not âOne little cat CAN ONLY DO so much.â The misplacement of âonlyâ in a sentence changes the meaning, sometimes by very great degrees. Hereâs primer:Only I poked him in his eye with my stick.I only poked him in his eye with my stick.I poked only him in his eye with my stick.I poked him only in his eye with my stick.I poked him in his only eye with my stick.I poked him in his eye only with my stick.I poked him in his eye with my only stick.I poked him in his eye with my stick only.
Good morning and happy Caturday, orbsters and orbabies. Our Yum Yum is a healthy, relatively happy (sheâs a Siamese, after all) girl who rarely leaves us any unpleasant surprises. She horks up about 4 â 5 hairballs a year and is, I think, getting mellower as she gets older.
We had a surprise visit yesterday from my great-granddaughterâs mother and her new (5-month old) baby. This is the girl and baby for whom I asked prayers and blessings earlier this year. Baby is doing well, about 10 pounds. Yum Yum, who is not used to small, squirmy things, took one look and fled to the top of the bedroom bookcase, behind some board games. I am honorary great-grandmother to little Freyja, who gave me several toothless smiles during her visit.
In our household, it is always McKayla that has the weak stomach. Of course, she is 19 years old and thin as a rail. But she seems happy and has a meow that you can hear throughout the house. We have modified her diet to foods that are easy to digest and that she really likes.
McKayla is the matriarch of the family and we cherish every day we have with her.
My Snow Leopard Ichy secured herself and her friend Tiger another Bengal a place to live forever by lodging a complaint twice. Ichy is the sweetest cat known to catdom but she took offense to her previous owners girlfriend. I didnât like this person either at all. I was the caretaker for the house, grounds and animals for almost 10 years before I left the state. Ichy lodged her complaint by pooping in the bed right where the girlfriend slept right after she left twice. Ichy was banned from all bedrooms in the main house after that but I built her a cat door so she and Tiger could sleep with me. After I moved her owner she going to put the two cats down since there was no caretaker anymore even though I volunteered to take them with me until the owner returned to the US for good. The owners friends contacted me and Tiger lived out his days with me and Ichy is still the sweet loving girl and doesnât lodge complaints anymore.
Several years ago I launched an extensive inquiry into where I might find the unwritten list of âDadâs Jobs.â Primarily in order to verify that cleaning up either human or feline bodily expulsions could be found on it.
I donât want to take away from @Kim Metzger and his diabetic cat, but I do need to share my cat related sadness.
One of my cats has disappeared. My ginger Sim. He has been gone for three days. Sim has never gone missing before, is generally afraid of most things, like food a lot, and spends a lot of time sitting on my lap. All the members of the household are out of sorts.I miss Sim so much, who is going to jump on the bench when they are not supposed too, who will sleep between us at night, who will tell us all about tehe goings on at home, who will sit with me while I have breakfast.

And when Elvis says he âlodgedâ a complaint, he really lodged it..

A complaint-barf is always preferable to a complaint-pee, especially on the bed.

I agree with you, Elvis. The more help, the better.

Elvis, like many, prefers to talk/complain rather than work!

Panel 2 makes me think of Pucky as a wide receiver reaching for a football! Yet another happy fall (American fall for American football) memory!

It seems to me that Elvis has devised a way to solve the problem of the falling leaves. But will the People understand?
