HELLO, kitty!

If it has a squeaker inside of it, I say it’s fair game!

Some dogs and cats play together but our cat won’t have anything to do with dogs. When our son brings his dog over (a border collie mix) the dog keeps trying to herd the cat towards us. It’s hilarious watching the cat trying to go out the cat door and the dog trying to block him. The cat always escapes eventually if he wants to.

I don’t think that the cartoonist has ever seen how a dog plays with its toys. They barely last a week or so

Or to quote my brother…“It’s not a doll, it’s an action figure!”

We used to have two cats and a dog. They always played together and like siblings they would get into the odd scrap. We had to give one of the cats away as it constantly tried to kill us but that’s another story.

You realize, of course, that is originally not a kitty.

But it’s a chew toy.

Dad needs a play toy.

Good-by kitty.

WE used to find stuffed Barney toys at garage sales, bring them home, and sentence them to death before tossing them to our dogs.

Wonder if his girlfriend is a cat

Oh! Because it’s a replica of a cat? What is with the father, does he live in the 19th century?
