Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for September 23, 2024

“It’s a CATastrophe!”

Quick! Someone record this and put it on YouTube!

I didn’t know “vortices” was a plural of “vortex”.

That’s barely the kind of whirlpool you get in a kitchen sink. Ever read Pixie and Brutus? Brutus is a former military dog, and Pixie was easily able to completely immobilize him.

It’s called a catatonic state.

If I do get a cat I’m now going to name her Vortex.

It’s not that I can’t remove a cat that’s decided to sleep on me, but they just look so comfortable that I hate to do it.

Marigold, know the feeling, my dog jumps on my lap, and I absolutely hate to move him!

I guess we’re having reruns again this week.

So, we’re gonna do reruns every other week I take it?

I had a grandmother named Gladys. She was not a vortex as far as I could tell.

It’s a new breed that the Cat Fanciers’ Association hasn’t gotten around to recognizing yet.

Extra points for the correct plural. Latin 3rd declension. I took Latin 60 years ago. I have no idea why I remember that.

Once a cat’s on you, you are legally required to stay put. That’s an unspoken law.

I believe that is feline paralysis, not a vortex.
