Mites are awful.

That was uncalled for. Poor Stumpy.

Good one Mom! Stephan Pastis would approve.

Poor Stumpy. But the concept of nip parties thrown by his sworn enemy should have raised some flags for a street-smart cat.

Hmmm, Rodney could have left a mouse head in Stumpy’s at condo.

How the mitey have fallen…

When nip wars get ugly.

The heartbreak of ear mites. It’s no laughing matter. #itchyears

The things that go on in The Mittens’ neighborhood. Rodney sounds like a cad and a bounder. The type of cat who would wear a bow tie, and a pencil moustache. Of course, Stumpy’s no angel either. :D

I’m pretty sure that’s a typo. They give ear bites – not ear mites. My Colette, as a kitten, got a permanent notch in her left ear tuft from another cat. Fortunately, my neighbor’s cat chased the other one away before there was more serious injury.
