Garfield by Jim Davis for February 26, 2022

I get mad AND even! BWAHAHAH!!!

An evil revenge to add on that

Train a cat? Who would be crazy enough to try?

You can learns how to trains your dragon but not cat.

Cats and women… are born to dominate!

If you want to get on the good side of women, never piss them off, or upset them, ’cause they will hold a grudge against us forever, pets included.

“They’ll seek revenge”…especially at the moment you least expect it!

My step-mother had a Siamese cat. When he would get on the kitchen counter my step-sister would take him off and spank him. In the wee hours of morning he would come to her bedroom door and give a “poor kitty” meow. When she would get up to get him she would step in his “trap”.

I now understand why women are often compared to cats. I had a girlfriend who was like this, only she did get mad and did seek revenge, sometimes after attacking you, too.

Riiiiight!

My cats train me

“I don’t get mad… I get stabby.” —Fat Tony D’Amico

Cats don’t get even, they get ahead.

Punishing an animal for bad behavior only teaches it to not get caught.

You bet’cha!

It will escalate endlessly… it’ll start with shredding the curtains, then the pants, then the sofa, then the neighbor’s sofa…

That’s why you don’t leave your good crystal on an open shelf.

My cat is wonderful; she never chews on anything which she should not. The dog, however…

So that’s why Jon always fails in trying to punish Garfield.

Cats bear grudges. They’re… well, cats. Be grateful they’re not the size of tigers. They’re the masters at holding grudges.

Garfield must be an Aries…

That’s so true. Scratched furniture, hairballs etc. cats are hitmen

and “even” for a cat means "ahead"…way ahead

Truth!

I disagree. I don’t exactly punish but a mild spank or hiss AT THE TIME ONLY. At any other time, they don’t make the association and think you’re just being mean. And become afraid of you.

“WHEN TRAINING YOUR CAT, NEVER PUNISH THEM FOR BAD BEHAVIOR”

(imagines a different version of this dialogue in this cartoon)

WHEN TRAINING YOUR CAT, NEVER PUNISH HIM OR HER FOR BAD BEHAVIOR

“AND IS THAT BECAUSE THEY WON’T UNDERSTAND BEING PUNISHED?”

(imagines a different version of this dialogue in this cartoon)

AND IS THAT BECAUSE HE OR SHE WON’T UNDERSTAND BEING PUNISHED?

please, some cats get “even” just because it’s a hobby for no reason too.

Consequences of seeking revenge means nothing when you have 9 lives.

My cats just look piteously at us. We melt.

A quiet formal protest, like a hairball in your shoe.
