Spiders and cockroaches etc, always remind me of the feast scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Once seen never forgotten. Excuse me while I rush to the bathroom.
Lupin is chaotic neutral. Wow, that is a blast from the past with that old D&D reference. No wonder he is at odds with Goldie who as sheriff is lawful (neutral or good).. The robber mice are textbook chaotic good.
OMC, when faced with some insect or arachnid invader in my house, how many times have I looked at my four cats, who are riveted in place watching it, and asked the same question. “Who’s going to deal with this? Anyone? You’re cats. This is part of your contract.” And they just sit there!
TIM: I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little spider, isn’t it? Well, it’s always the same. I always tell them—
O MY CAT!!! This must be one of the funniest strip yet. Love every panel, especially the spider Hello party people and all the puffed up tails….Geroria you just made my day.
According to his Man, Albert A. Cat is lawful neutral. There are rules, and they should be followed because that’s what’s best for everyone, especially Albert.
Unique spider – I posted this before but at end of day so I’m repeating. Truly different. I remember when it was first discovered, people thought it was a weird fungus, not an even weirder spider web. https://www.mirror.co.uk/science/spider-spins-mysterious-silkhenge-structure-21299346
All the “chittering” going on yesterday makes me wonder if that’s the same as the (I can’t even spell it) “Nyheh. NyhehNyheh. NyhehNyhehNyhehNyheh. NyhehNyhehNyheh” that MapleSyrup used to do out the window at one specific large bird at the feeder, mostly ignoring all the metric bonkers of other birds visiting.
We have an appointment today at the otherwise closed Animal Welfare Shelter to look for Maple’s Successor Cat.
Long ago I made a deal with all the spiders around. If they stay out of my way, preferably where I don’t even have to see them, I would leave them alone. So far all of us have honored that. I’m sure we look just as scary and weird to them as they do to us. Some of us.
We had an unusual looking spider on the ceiling of our motorhome yesterday afternoon. The awning installation guy pointed it out, commenting he’s pro-spider. I looked at it and said that my husband would be “getting rid of it” shortly, which he did. With a napkin. Now there’s a spot on the fabric ceiling.
His Majesty would have dispatched that spider before I even knew it was there. Between him and the girls any bugs don’t stand a chance. I have to rescue HM from spiders some days. We have Black Widows and HM doesn’t understand venomous spiders. Like the reporters picture hangers get stalked too.
Please don’t mention centipedes again—havent seen one in my house for ages until I was accosted by one in my kitchen a few minutes ago. He got a trip to Drainland on his way to the septic tank. Now I’ve got the “Trilogy of Terror” segment (or was it “Night Gallery”) im my head where the spider sent down the drain keeps coming back larger and larger until it fills the whole bathtub and the people are…well, Robin knows.
Last night we got over to my mom’s, and she had left a note out on the table with the message. “The laundry room light is on, there is a large black spider over the cabinet, KILL IT!” I figured it was one of the annoying black jumping spiders..no it was a very large wolf spider, just slightly smaller than my hand. We took care of it, but I do wonder if some of the ones living in the farmhouse project hitchhiked.
So, the mighty hunter score is:Goldie, avid hunter but only kills to eat. Puck, friendly hippy-dippy would literally not hurt a fly. Elvis, the intelectual, highly informed conscientious objector. (probably is tenured at some University). Lupin, avid sport hunter who is easily distracted by other distractions only perceived by him.
She really has laid out the cast of your average Agatha Christie novel.
We used to have jumper spiders that were big enough that you could hear their legs on the hardwood floor. If the cat batted them mid hop they fly halfway across the room
I believe that this is the first time I have seen Pucky with only 1 paw. Love his toe beans and the cape just like the barber shop just soooooo super cute

Puck: Lawful Good (all-around good boy).
Elvis: Lawful Neutral (stern but fair).
Goldie: Neutral Good (her thief-in-a-good-cause past pushes her out of the lawful alignment).
And of course Lupin is a Chaotic Neutral – they have more fun!

Still enough time to figure out

I’ve done all right alone now
It’s my funky moves that show me how
But while I slowly fall, I loudly call
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel my feet on somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who watched me
(Don’tcha wanna dance say you wanna dance
Don’tcha wanna dance)

False alarm. One huge meal and no sign since. Neither cat has been spotted since the wet/dry was served up.
We have, of course, seen an instant resumption of daily raccoon visits, so the feeding is halted. Unless the kitties return.
