Pickles by Brian Crane for October 04, 2024

Of course she does!

Apparently.

Looked this one up. Black pepper isn’t toxic to cats but can cause discomfort. Onions and garlic are listed as hazardous though

No, dear. YOU’ll need it to eat Muffins dish while she enjoys your salmon and shrimp hollandaise gratin.

They all love their salt even though it’s not good for them. Pepper not so much.

I hope she’s using the new shakers.

Gotta wait, Opal. Just wait till the kitty belly starts to rumble. Kitty WILL come back for the same old food.

I like the way muffin is sticking her nose up, finicky feline!

Pricey puss!

I put freeze dried salmon bones in my pepper mill.

If your cat doesn’t eat what you feed it right away, don’t just (try to) spice it up right away. Unless there are some other symptoms, just wait and let it get hungry enough that it will eat what has been provided.

Oh, this is the epitome of the cat owner! Bending over backward to do anything for their cat (and the correct image of myself!).

Roscoe is rolling with laughter off panel. Probably ‘double dog dared’ Muffy!

Tis what happens when you spoil the Fur Baby ;-)

OH. MY GAWD. Our three feel it is their inalienable right to sniff ad taste ANYTHING that is being served on the counter, on the stove, or at the table. One of them MUST have a taste of everything; his current fav is a piece of gingersnap. Oddly enough, none of them like sugar. . .

So who’s domesticated — humans or cats?

Good thing ya bought those motorized grinders HUH.???

Muffy needs grated parmesan on it, too.

So demanding.

Like like in the last panel where Muffin’s licking her chops!

Of course!

what?

no shaved truffle?

send it back!

Opal is losing it……LOL

YOU started all this,opal…..

Cats…..OMG!

Cats have high standards.

Make that sea-salt, Marketeers say it’s so much better for us.

Cats can be fussy eaters. But Muffin takes it to the extreme.

She just wanted to use her S & P shakers.

I have a solution for fussy cats: Eat what I give you or starve.

Black pepper IS poisonous to cats.

I wish I could HUG Brian Crane for the way he draws this!

@norphos – and what bubble gum wrapper did you read that on? Black pepper is NOT toxic to cats. It can cause irritation if they eat too much but it’s not going to kill them. For the love of SCIENCE people please fact check your nonsense before spreading lies like a GOP nutjob.
