    Freaking called it… also breathing a sigh of relief but I figured Animal Control would just be tommy’s woman. She’s handled it for the area before.. and also Sophie needs a freaking break after all of this. The other reason is frankly.. this lady also needs Tommy’s woman’s help. Not just the firm but caring lecture on checking any cats you find on the street and want to take care of to make sure they don’t have owners and how cats have diffrent types.. but I still think this lady SHOULD have a cat. Or a dog. Or timmy tarantula. I’m sure show spiders are a thing. She wasn’t a good woner to sophie, and i’m very happy she’s almost rescued. But like most of the strips antagonists so far (Montague, Mag, the Robber Mice), all of whom turned corners.. she’s not terrible just misguided. If she’ll listen to Sophie’s Woman, then she can get proper help finding a pet and proper help taking care of it. Maybe find a cat whose not messy and likes being shown off. This lady deserved the nightmare that happened to her house, but she also deserves a happy ending. One of the strip’s core themes, one I just realized during this arc despite reviewing every other year of the strip (This one’s coming next year, don’t worry), is there’s a pet for everyone. With a lot of love, the right match, and the right owner and good fur baby, anyone can be loved and even people who seem horrible at first may be more complicated than they seem. Except Wicket and that lady who warned about cats stealing breathes. Their just awful. But hey people who are just the worst also exist and even Wicket got a happy ending.

    The 4th glitter bomb makes a direct hit on That Tidy Woman’s head (great shot, Violet!) & explodes, covering her & Sophie in sparkles & startling her into dropping Sophie, who snatches up Li’l Starfish & dashes for the door as soon as it opens, streaking past her Woman into the night. Sophie’s Woman sees only the glittering blur of her passing & doesn’t recognize her. Jules dive-bombs That Tidy Woman’s sparkling head repeatedly, =BONK BONK BONK= hee hee! Gutter, lurking outside in the shrubbery after his own successful escape, sees the fleeing Sophie & hurries to catch up with her…

    Ugh! I’ve just read of real life cat kidnapping in Surrey. A man stopped his car, got out to pet a 16 year old cat sitting outside her house, then he grabbed her, threw her in the car and drove off. The crime was captured on a doorbell cam, her owners are distraught. I sure hope the thief can be traced, and the cat re united with her owners. :(

    To the tune of “You Dropped a Bomb on Me” by The Gap Band

    I saw a cat, said I want that

    I took that cat for free

    Locked her up tight, in a room of white

    Made cat show plans for me.

    Chorus

    But you found me out, birds!

    (You dropped a bomb on me…GLITTER!

    You dropped a bomb on me!)

    But you ruined my house, mice!

    (You dropped a bomb on me…GLITTER!

    You dropped a bomb on me!)

    Power went down, all over town

    A raccoon came inside.

    I used my broom, locked him in a room.

    Mice turned them loose, then it all went BOOM!

    (Chorus)

    Priscilla went wild! (I thought she was mild!)

    She made a crazy scene, became a drama queen!

    She trashed my house, and then that mouse

    Said, “That’s our cue!” and the glitter bombs flew!

    (Chorus)

    Jules was in hiding. His time he was biding.

    I felt Existential Dread.

    Through the door he entered, flying through the glitter

    And bonked me on the head!

    (Chorus)

    You found me out, you trashed my home

    You took that cat back to her home.

    You dropped a bomb on me.

    I learned some things I won’t forget,

    Like “That’s not how you treat a pet.”

    You dropped a bomb on me.

    I, I, I, I, I, I Won’t forget it

    I, I, I, I, I, I Won’t forget it

    Thank you Georgia – this comic made my day. I needed something to smile about today.
