Pickles by Brian Crane for November 16, 2020

Earl you’re nothing but a big softy. Just to macho to acknowledged it.

Earl has a big heart for Muffy. She would not be lying on him if he did not. In the real world that is how cats behave.

uh-huh

What a liar. But all supposed cat haters are. I’ve known a lot of men who claim to hate cats but then they’re caught petting or holding one.

Cats know who “tolerates” them! (I like mine)

My father-in-law “thought” he didn’t like cats. Til Pepper arrived. It was the cutest thing, Pep and Poppy would have quite serious discussions in the morning when they were the only two awake :) And then came Duchess, who he snuggled a lot. And he was actually fond of Pep’s furdaddy, Rajah, and his possible furuncle, Ginger.. LOL!

And now he has Mum’s Sheba, who will sit on his chair with him and try to get his dinner with her magnetic food paws.. LOL! And Sultan, who he snuggles when he can :)

Lots of people like both dogs and cats.

This is totally my. Only, one of these days, I’m gonna send those two cats that belong to my wife, to Timbuktu!

Earl the cat is a spy …. beware !

Yeah, sure Earl… whatever you say…

I will pet a cat that comes to me, but I do not want one. I do not hate them per se, I just don’t want one as a pet. There are more options available than merely loving or hating them.

I’ve known plenty of people who “didn’t like cats”, but ended up being fond of a particular cat. It’s a start!

Tigger circles Everyone who visits, with asthma or don’t like cats…..how do they KNOW? LOL

The handle on his recliner is in the wrong position…

I’m happy for the Muffin lovers today but with no Precious Roscoe in the script my heart is broken . …… Sorry , Maybe a little too much there .

Oh Yeah……… HE’S whipped……… uh huh…..

My kitties are begging for affection. So I am always confused why they get mad when I give it too them..

The jig is up, Earl.

When I was a kid, I tamed a feral cat. He was a great kitty. My dad kept complaining that I fed and pet the cat. A dog, he maintained, was the proper pet for a real man! But when he was working in the garden, that cat would follow dad up one row and down the other. Eventually my dad would stop, look towards the house, and if he thought nobody was looking, he would bend over to pet the cat. Caught him at it many times.

Take that, cat! and that! What’s this? No, you can’t purr your way out of this one! Now, here comes another.

The cat used to cuddle up with Dad in the evenings. He’d pet her and say AWFUL things about her in a soft, soothing voice.

Then why is she lying on you, Earl? Huh?

“Killing her softly with his hand, killing her softly, with his hand… "

That is TOTALLY my cat-hating ex & my old boss BS the Maine Coon Monster!

A friend of mine was doing some plumbing and picked up a piece of copper pipe that was still hot from soldering. Dropped it. I asked smirkingly if it was hot. He said, “no, it just doesn’t take me long to examine copper pipes.”

Well Opal are you going to ask to see his tongue or not? You do not want him coughing up hairballs at 3 AM in bed.

My cat is my pet peeve.

Cats are wonderful – outside in the barn.

Earl’s just doing his evil villain impression, sitting in a chair stroking a cat, like Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond films or more recently parodied as Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers movies.

Some women will not date a man who has a cat. Silly!

This is just like when they accused Frank of petting a bunny on Everybody Loves Raymond.

Muffy doesn’t care if you like her as long as you can be her bed.
