In Security by Bea R. for June 25, 2017

I can so relate.

Garfield’s got nothing on him!

I always imaged Ow would sound like Chopper from One Piece. Both seem just as naive, wonder if Ow loves cotton candy too?

New Sunday intro art. A quick funny before the actual strip (Nobody does this anymore!! Why?!). A funny food-related quip. This is how Sunday comics SHOULD be done!

Perfect and better

Cat and owner seems alike …

We have 5 cats and one large communal bowl

Everything is fine as long as there is food in that bowl, but if any part of the bottom is exposed they all freak out and think it’s empty

Hehe,cute.

What about that kibble in the outer ring?

Less is more ….

Cats want what they want. And usually get it.

That squirrelcat would be cute, but is so annoying.

In Security has become my favorite comic strip, and Sedine is on her way to becoming a classic comic heroine. I especially like the 1950s-ish MAD Magazine drawing style with its exaggerated plots, actions and emotions.

Can’t you just see Nun Grumpy Girl becoming a teacher in a Catholic school?

Our dogs are like this too. Plus Ellie’s looking very good in her robe and slippers! (MM! NOM NOM!)

My cat precisely.

Having two of my own I can tell you how true that is!

There’s an explanation for why cats treat the bowl as empty when it’s not: whisker fatigue. Whiskers are very sensitive and a cat’s proximity sensors. When the bowl is deep, they have to push their face down further to get at the last of the food. Their whiskers touch the edge of the bowl, which is uncomfortable for them.

The solution is wide and shallow bowls and dishes to provide clearance for the whiskers. Some have a raised area at the back to help contain messes. Non-skid feet on the bottom will help it stay in place. If it is raised up off the ground by about 5", it can help prevent vomiting and reduce neck strain by having the food and water at a level where their mouth and stomachs are aligned.

Awwwww
