Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
This is SO true! Both of our 18-year olds sleep all day and then hobble around at night āsinging the songs of their peopleā. They do not, however, steal socks.
I was hoping this would be the one for today as well. This is the first time I realized that Puck and Elvis are peeking into the sides of the last inset panel!
My cat, Cara Mia, has a cat toy that looks like road kill. Or, at least the tail of road kill. She carries it around in her mouth, commenting the whole time. This goes on at any time of day or night. Iām so used to it now, I hardly hear it.
And now that Lupin is in a place where all illness is healed and all lost abilities are restored, Lupin can finally hear his magnificent roar. An when we hear rumbling in the sky, we can wonder, is that thunder, or is it Lupin with the zoomies, or gathering up Heavenās socks.
Hold on, I know what you are thinkingā¦or at least screaming at your computer screen; āIs he nuts? He shouldnāt be giving the cat wine!ā Furthermore, Robin and Scaeva are adding their own verbal codicil; āEspecially a powerful, full-body Cab. The cat should stick to Merlot or a nice Zinfandel.ā
Well, Iām not nutsā¦slightly touched perhapsā¦but that is another matter. Anyway, we had dinner last night, and Hamilton was in his traditional spot near Marie. His being on the table all started when he was a tiny kitten; he was nervous and needed to be around people, so we let him sit at the end of the table during meals. Yes, we created a little furry āConnoisseurā monster. That is not the point. It was above freezing yesterday, so I thought, why not grill up a couple of steaks? So I sold one kidney, signed away most of my human rights to my boss, and scraped together enough money to buy beef. And, what is better with a steak than a deep, rich red wine?
Hamilton was in his spot when we sat down when he suddenly lifted his head and sniffed the air. Now, Iko, the dog, and the other cats have all sniffed what is in my glass from time to time. When the glass contains ethyl alcohol, the pets wrinkle up their noses and move on. Not Hamilton. He sniffed deeply and then stuck his whole head in the glass and tasted the wine. I, of course, being the good Cat Dad, said, āWhoa there, you didnāt pay for this, and you should let the wine breath for a few more minutes!ā He looked at me in bewilderment, clearly thinking, āWell, it is your fault for not decanting the wine sooner.ā
Note to all of you cat enslaved people out there; never argue viticulture with your quadruped overlord.
So, now I have to add wine to the list of things Hamilton A. Cat will eat or drink. He is a good boy, and we are careful with what he does ingest. I just hope Hamilton is attentive tonight when we ignite the Cherries Jubilee.
Our kitty, ZoĆ«, is also a mighty huntress of socks. She meows as she carries the sock in her mouth, and I swear itās louder than her regular meows. She is all black, so between this comic and her, I consider this sock hunting in black and white.
Our female cat does the āARROOOā thing when she brings in caterpillars. Nothing else. If she catches a mouse we donāt find out until we nearly step in the discarded bits on the downstairs landing.
Our male cat will walk around the back yard early on summer mornings doing it, for no particular reason that we can determine.
Who knows what goes through those fuzzy little heads?
The final Lupin tribute! Somewhere, he is a mighty hunter roaring over the greatest of prey: socks, crickets, perhaps even the dreaded stick with feathers.
Loved this tribute. Big Gray who only speaks in very soft tones gets very loud when he finds his special felt triangle and brings it to me. I have to give him many good boys and pats on the back side. He then trots off to go to sleep knowing heās done his job.
The first trophy Colette brought me, when she was a kitten, was a three-inch-tall doll with long blonde hair. I thanked her profusely and gave it back to her. She would drag it out at odd moments for weeks. Cats!
My big man, Jasper, does this with potholders, paper towels (hide the roll in the washing machine), Kleenex (turn the box upside down), hair scrunchies, pens (hide them in a drawer), and various and sundry bits of ephemera from my desk. The moment I turn out the lights to go to sleep, he comes meowing into the bedroom, and I know heās brought me one or more prizes.
Of course he only hunts baby socks. The adults can put up one heck of a fight! No nature documentary can match the savage ferocity of a wounded knee-length argyle!
I notice Lupin never answered the station interviewersā questions of āwhy only baby socksā and āwhy only at 3amā. Is it because the baby socks are more tender and sweet, but only roam freely at 3am? Oddly, thatās not what Iāve observed of the habits of baby socks . . .
Georgia on facebook: āWe go now live to BREAKING CAT NEWS!Today is the Sunday strip chosen as a tribute for Lupin and it is perfect. Edit to share a story: This past autumn, before we ever knew Lupin was sick and he was still in his strong spirits, the Girl was getting ready for school. She was standing in the living room, dressed except for bare feet. āI need socks!ā She said.And coincidentally at that moment, Lupin was trotting up the stairs from the basement with a pair of the Boyās socks swiped from the laundry in his mouth. I had folded them over at the top when sorting them and heād snatched them as a trophy. He did this ALL the time, but that day the timing just happened to be perfect. He dropped them at the Girlās feet and she said āOh, thanks Lupinā and put them on, and it was all hysterical and we laughed a lot and gave Lupin a lot of pets. We tell that story a lot now, I wanted to share it here tooā
What is it about older cats at 3 am? My 16 yr old girl Donna is deaf and lives in āDonnalandā all day, quiet and sleepy when not enjoying treats. But in the middle of the night she walks the hall and howls at the moon, or at least the food bowl.
This one made me smile for a couple reasons. First, of course, itās Lupin! But then because the late Bluebelle was an avid sock hunter. All kinds of socks ā clean, dirty, cotton, polyester, didnāt matter. Just so long as it was a sock! Some mornings still when Iām getting dressed, a sock will disappear only to turn up some place it shouldnāt be. Now, the culprit could be one of our current 3 (who usually arenāt interested in socks), but I always have to wonderā¦ā¦ā¦
I rarely post online ā OK maybe never. Iāve followed this comic for years and enjoyed everyone elseās posts and feel like I got to know some of you. Lupinās passing was personal for me as it was for so many. I waited to see if someone else shared my favorite strip but didnāt see it. I hope itās not too late and you donāt mind if I share. I LOVE the whole Hamilton arc where Lupin becomes āMonsieur Lupin-etteā. The link Iām posting is the last day of the arc and somehow says it all. Thanks. I rarely post online ā ok maybe never.

In Honor of Jacques Yves Cousteau: John Denverās Calypso
To hunt for a sock, while the family is dreaming,
To run through the house like a wild raging storm
To roar through the while the others are sleeping,
In search of the answers by Breakfast OāClock!
To be part of the nighttime, and the roaring ātil morning!
Including us all in the ritual at night!
ā¦ā¦.
Aye, Lupin, the places youāve been to,
The socks that you show us,
Like Sophieās display,
Aye, Lupin, we sing to your spirit,
But could you do it later in the day?
ā¦ā¦.
Meow, purr, and maybe a roar!
Like a lion, in the morning at 4,
Meow, purr, and maybe a roar!
You gotta love Lupin!
ā¦ā¦.
Elvis and Puck, they report your adventures,
āTho sill in pajamas, they bring us the news
They do what they must to bring us your story,
But why you pick this time, we havenāt a clue!
We love your adventures, but not quite this early,
But we know you canāt let it be!
ā¦ā¦.
Aye, Lupin, the places youāve been to,
The socks that you show us,
Like Sophieās display,
Aye, Lupin, we sing to your spirit,
But could you do it later in the day?
ā¦ā¦.
Meow, purr, and maybe a roar!
Like a lion, in the morning at 4,
Meow, purr, and maybe a roar!
You gotta love Lupin!

When the white cat Lupin comes trot, trot, trottingā along, along.
Thereāll be no more snoring when he starts ROARING his song.
Wake up! Wake up, Woman and Man.
Get up! Get up, get outta bed.
Cheer up! Cheer up, the socks are dead.

Of the way you are
Pretty pictures
All the smiles you bring to mind
Smiles we share here with each other
At the way you are

You are beautiful and yet
Itās your antics we remember
Simply too funny to forget
And itās the laughter
We all remember
Whenever we remember
The way you are
