Crazy cat lady, the early days

Opal, the aspiring cat lady.

Roscoe won’t be happy about that.

I figure once I’m dead the whole WORLD is someone else’s problem.

Opal can be catty enough as it is! lol :-)

Take her with you make it murder suicide

Wonder if they’re leading up to that old joke where the wife insists on knowing whether her husband would remarry if she dies first. He assures her that he will always love her, but she keeps pushing and he finally agrees that he might — under very specific circumstances — consider marrying again if he found someone suitable.

The wife can’t stop there, though. She asks if he’d let the the new wife stay in the same house, sleep in the same bed, go to the same places with him that she did. Each time he has to admit that, yes, if conditions were right, he would do those things.

Finally she says “I suppose you’d even let her use my golf clubs!”

At this he gets righteously indignant and says “No! Absolutely not! Could never happen!”

Wife: “Well, why not?”

Husband: “For one thing, she’s left-handed,…”

Will Muffin like the competition?

It seems Opal agrees with him!

I agree with Opal at least in spirit. In actuality though she ought not to get more cats especially kittens. She’ll die before they do and Sylvia will have to find homes for them.

Lots of clawed furniture. Lots of ornamental things knocked down and smashed. Lots and lots of cat hair everywhere.

I know a lady with 12 cats. Her house is so clean that you wouldn’t know she has even one.

Then I know a woman with one cat, yet her house stinks like she has 12.

I like the first lady better.

Lots of cats=1 Earl….seems about right…

She would make Earl’s urn a cat box.

If the Pickles had more to do with their time in this comic, there would be no talk of dying. I guess the subject should come up eventually for everyone human.

Me too

You would not be feeling anything if you are dead.

At my age, the thought of my wife dying is nothing I can find humor in.

Yeah…….. she looks like a cat lady.

Oh, the smell of a house with an old lady with way too many cats. Eww.

Dogs are okay, they just smell like old men.

Opal sounds like one of my ex-wives!

The idea of being replaced by a cat would not make me especially happy.

Life after divorce: aaaaah free to be meeeeeee

There needs to be a crazy cay lady on every block.

She cannot keep up with full sand boxes. Call the SPCA and City to kick her out!

You never can tell, Olive; my great-aunt met & married her 2nd husband in the nursing home. She was early 80s, he was late 80s.

A far better way to go than cats.

“If you were my husband, I would POISON your coffee.”

“Madam, if you were my wife, I would GLADLY drink that coffee.”

When I die, if you marry again, don’t her wear my clothes. That’s ok, they won’t fit her anyway. “Benny Hill”

I’ve lived by myself for over 20 years now. I have always had pets including but not limited to cats and dogs. Currently I have 2 cats and 1 dog. All three are best of friends. If I added another cat or dog I doubt it would matter to them. Sadly the 3 I have are maxing my income, so that probably won’t happen (:-(

For me do not think I would remarry, my hubby is little older and I am hoping he reaches higher age.

I wonder how many times this strip from yesterday & today has been recycled?

Lots and Lots of cats to gang up on Roscoe.

Opal will end up as a crazy cat lady.

Muffin might have something to say about this. And don’t even get me started on. Roscoe’s reaction!

Getting a bunch of cats, is what my wife said that she’d probably do.
