“Spanky”?? Either Dad just likes to mess with Spud, or he genuinely forgets Spud’s name all the time. Hard to tell since he has a straight face when he says “Spanky’s” name…
You’re giving the boy ideas now.. you need to be clear on the rules about, umm mattresses on the field during a game. Spanky! LOL!! It’s a good thing I didn’t have any tea in my mouth at the moment.
There may be something to it. You don’t see cats—tiring themselves out or waiting around bored—playing baseball. Life, liberty, and the quest for comfort are more important.

Spud is just a cat with a big head. A really really really big head

Looks like Seagull got a crewcut in last panel. He flattened his head feathers.

Spud can play deep, DEEP left field for the Giants.
And if Dad has to keep getting his name wrong, maybe try and get him to use “Bud”, as in Bud Harrelson. Solid baseball name.

How about an old-timey bean bag chair in the shape of a catcher’s mitt?

I scored a nice, comfy futon off FB Marketplace, just before a friend arrived to spend the week with me. And yes, the cats love it, too!

Spud, you probably want a catcher’s futon.

My favorite running gag in this strip is Mr. MacLellan’s different names for Spud. Banjo was a great one, Spanky is pretty good too! :-D

“Alfalfa” is an even better name. Is Dad old enough to know who the ol’ “Our gang” characters were?

A glove-shaped futon, sir?
