Living room cowboy is pretty easily distracted, honestly. And Lupin? An important part of friendship is not killing the poor little thing, OK?

Lupin perking up like that is so adorable. =’3

“flytimer”

The Man to the rescue. Kudos.

I think I hear a whip-poor-will. Is the midnight train whining low? Did the moon just go behind the clouds?

Lupin suddenly perking like that reminds me so much of Blossom whenever something caught her attention. ❤

to make his robot friend…”

Poor little robot he’s—say it Robin.

Uh, oh. Flying Lupin coming up…

Still has his cute cowboy outfit on. Really like the checked shirt. I didn’t notice that before.

VIDEOS NOW!

flamis: poor lupin:[ carmol: yeah hope he gets a robo friend.

The man for the save.

Looks like Lupin and company never had the chance to “eat like kings” the last time they met this plastic bird. Challenge accepted!

Lupin is not a serval nor a caracal. The Man will need to move it just right for him.

Little Drone looks so happy! So does Living Room Cowboy. Let’s hope Living Room Cowboy doesn’t really catch him.

He’s gonna be a jumpin’ cowboy….

Leapin’ Lupin coming up.

Oh no. Now the robots have sent flying drones too. They has taken to air warfare. Quick, pounce upon it, Lupin.

Oh, sad, flat Lupin …

Is Burt a fan of classic country music?

The second panel pulls at the heartstrings. Poor, sad Lupin. He just wants a robot friend, but he plays too rough.

I’ve sad and lonely so long

Nearly ten minutes, feels so wrong,

I just wanted to play cowboy with a robot friend

Now I really cannot see, why the vac doesn’t like me,

But a nice cat came along and that was the end!

But along here comes a brand new bot!

Flying like the elusive red dot!

And I’m gonna chase him and were gonna have fun!

…….

Like a robot cowboy!

Flying high, needs no horse running all through the living room!

Like a robot cowboy!

Every shelf and lamp, prepare to meet your doom!

We’re not stopping any time soon!

…….

He flies along with a smile,

And playing really is his style,

I know we are gonna be friends for a long time,

And I dream of the things we’ll do,

Running wildly through the living room,

And ending up on the Big Red Couch, for a nap,

And along here comes a brand new bot!

Flying like the elusive red dot!

And I’m gonna chase him and were gonna have fun!

…….

Like a robot cowboy!

Flying high, needs no horse running all through the living room!

Like a robot cowboy!

Every shelf and lamp, prepare to meet your doom!

We’re not stopping any time soon!

Well, that drone certainly perked Lupin up, didn’t it?

Nice work by the Man

There’s a real buzz for you, Lupin!

Hope blooms eternal.

There you go — droning on and on.

I’ve been away for a while, so I have to ask … what happened to the other cat? Was her name Goldie?

That does not look like an indoor toy.

The Man to the rescue!

Poor Lupin looked so sad like nobody likes him. But I’m glad to see that he sure perked up fast.

OT: ISS is getting new solar panels today!

The Man: “This is better than a laser pointer!!”

To have a friend, be a friend.

Requires random sharp movement to draw true interest. Stop and go etc.

zoom!

I had a bullmastiff once, and I bought one of those micro-RC helicopters. Now, bullmastiffs are very large dogs and are generally lazy and laid back. They are not known for speed and energy. So imagine my surprise thd first time I flew that helicopter through the living room. That 155-pound dog was jumping so high you’d think he was on a pogo stick. The floor joists were basically acting like a big trampoline. Needless to say, things got broken and that helicopter was never flown in the house again.

Is this strip getting a little … robot-y? I take the time to engage my cats personally in play.

Poor lonesome Lupin! The chin-on-the-ground pose makes cats look so sad…

Saddle up, Lupin!

Extra credit for the Hank Williams reference.

The first appearance of this drone was https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2021/05/28 Lupin said “We eat like kings tonight.”

Like a bird that’s lost its mate in flight, I’m alone and, oh, so blue tonight. ~ HW

Poor Lupin, is sad. Luckily the Man comes to the rescue. How will this adventure go!

The man to Lupin’s rescue.

Be gentle with it, Lupin.

We would chase the cats with a remote control car. They were, understandably, not impressed.

I want a drone for Halloween. I want to use clear tape to make a hollow head and shoulders that can be covered with cheesecloth and mounted on it and include glowing red eyes so I can chase kids as a floating ghost. I’ve seen several on YouTube and I think it would be hilarious after dark on Halloween.

What do you mean I have too much time on my hands?

Uh . . .

Oh

!!!

OH HOLY CARP NO LUPIN THAT WILL END VERY BADLY

Lupins face XD

✨❤️✨
