Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 23, 2016

Frame three looks to me like Ludwig is doing a “feed me” pose, a la “Simon’s Cat” (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qur3-B5VFHM for example)

Ludwig is motioning for Janis to watch him and learn how to go to sleep.

It’s 3:00 a.m., so I’m getting a kick out of this comic.

Our cat will decide 3 AM is a good time to take a two hour bath. Slurp, slurp, snick, snick.And OUT the door, *thank*you very much.

Funny how cats love to sleep with humans.

(Click!)News Channel: “Blah, blah, blah. Blather, blather, blather. Lie, lie, lie…”Janis: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…

A little horizontal refreshment and she will go right to sleep.

Not only wakes us up, but puts us in a chatty mood.

Ah, Janis, I feel your insomnia. One of the joys of menopause.

ARLO!! Dude yer not taking care of yer home work, she’s not getting enough.

I blew out a disk 20 years ago. Spent six weeks getting up in the morning with my wife as she prepared for work, only I took some serious painkillers and muscle relaxers and curled back up on the bed. Like clockwork, our two cats would stick their noses over the edge of the bed at 11am precisely, look at me as if to ask “What’s wrong with the big cat?”, and then climb up on the bed and curl up behind my knees…which is where my wife would find us when she came home from work about ten hours later.

My cat settles on my knees, and within minutes my eyelids droop.
