Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 07, 2023

If it doesn’t smell like a dead mouse he won’t eat it.

If it’s not good enough for Arlo, then it’s not good enough for Ludwig.

Amberjack. Fish similar to tuna. No way my Boo would turn that down.

No cat will eat while you’re standing there waiting for them to.

" Why isn’t it in MY bowl? "

He could have nuked it first.

He was waiting for you to make the can opener noise

Snapper blue fish (young blues still in the back bay, before they migrate to the ocean) 9" to 1’ long almost boneless, chop of head/tail, gut them fry them [or BBQ them wrapped in seaweed preferably but kale will work] skin side down 3-5 minutes. Flesh should be flaky and white. From my 1st Russian Blue in my 20s to my last Siamese in my 60s there wasn’t one of my cats who would refuse snapper bluefish when it was put in front of them. if people use malt vinegar or lemon juic on the fish, though, do not feed the scraps to the cats.

Hey Arlo, you can recycle the foam container..

So-so true.

Ludwig will eat it out of the trash, tomorrow.

Why waste good leftovers on a cat?

my question is: Why do you have leftover amberjack?? Boring cod, perhaps haddock as well, but Amberjack? C’mon Johnson.

Great Cartooning Jimmy. You know cats!

Fish is actually not good for cats. Ask any vet.

In school, my roommate and I brought back home leftover T-bones, from dinner, and gave them to our cats. I’ve never heard cats grow before, but they loved them, and one would issue a warning if the other got too close

My d#mn cat decides NOT to eat her regular food for days on end. I just ignore her. She hasn’t starved yet.

Why didn’t he eat it himself?

Arlo and his at are boring!

So, one day I caught some rainbow trout. I put the fish on ice, took them home, and cleaned them and filleted the fish in the kitchen. Yuki, my Siamese Cat, seemed very interested. So I offered her some of the flesh and the fish head. She turned up her nose at both, but scarfed down the fins and tail like they were candy! Strange cat!

I might give the cat a nibble as a treat, but I would eat the amberjack myself!

We keep our cats on regular cat food, measured portions. No people food. I had one diabetic cat (who’d been fed table scraps and too many treats, and was very overweight) who suddenly went into ketoacidosis and had to be put down. I want to avoid anything like that happening to these two.

Qwilleran always brought home sliced turkey to his Siamese.

Our cats would insist their bowl was empty even though it appeared to be half full.

Don’t worry, if he can’t find food, cats will eat you.

Maybe the styrofoam threw him off?

Not one of our four cats will eat cooked fish. Tuna out of the can—-Yum.

My cats barely have enough manners to wait for me to set the food down. And all food is theirs until proven otherwise, even if a human is actively chewing on it.

Really? And you’ve had that cat how long now?

There was a similar comic a couple of months ago where Arlo set the takeout container in front of Luddy and he wouldn’t eat it until it was put in his food dish. You would think Arlo would have learned the lesson by now.

So sad.

you should have told him he couldn’t have it
