I’ve had a similar problem. Hugged a dog only for my arm to get trapped under it.
I’d say that Marigold doesn’t have to worry about scratches if she gets up, but you can’t be sure with Phoebe sometimes.
Phoebe’s mom couldn’t possibly ruin a moment like this.
This has happened to me many times! Great to see Phyllis and Ethan in the same strip—I knew he had to be a cat man. :-) =^;^=
just saying, but if only Phoebe had a sibling who could help the mother out
Reminds me of this legend about Muhammad cutting off his sleeve to not disturb a sleeping cat. This one could be a little more awkward.
Anyone who has ever been owned by a pet can sympathize, Mr. Howell.
Have you noticed how they never refer to the cat with a name?
Phoebe’s dad is just one of those men who’d find any excuse to get out of helping around the house. Just ask Dagwood Bumstead.
You’re not a true pet owner until you’ve faced this problem at least once at some point…and usually it’s never stays at “once” anyway. ;)
COL. Everyone knows you can’t move when you’ve got it.
Second panel happens at least once or twice a week in my house.
This strip reminds me of why I often wish the title was “Marigold and her Human”.
Yeah, but Marigold is quadrupedal. She could get up and walk away without disturbing Phoebe.
How nice. Marigold doesn’t normally indicate that she finds Phoebe cute.
Ahhhhh how cute……
We shout C O L when we need something and can’t get up. (Cat On Lap)
Panel 2 happens all the time around here. Lap kitties are not to be disturbed.
So sweet!!!!
It’s called COLS. Cat On Lap Syndrome.
Lap kitties are all right, my goes to the next step and likes to lay on my arm while I am trying to use the mouse to play computer games.
Feline paralysis is real. So, apparently, is Phoebine paralysis.
We all know.

Dad: Wait until she starts drooling….
Marigold: O_O I shall take her to the bedroom immediately!
