Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for March 22, 2013

That dog is keeping it real.

Let’s see it Bucky? His chew toy is probably longer

Oh, I like this guy…

Did I ever tell you the story about the city dog and the country dog?

It’s OK Bucky, you’re killin’ me!

This ongoing bit is funny – and yet cats actually do kill stuff.

My cat not only kills stuff, she brings parts of it to me… :-)

Why does the new guy look so down beat????

Dog looks more like a foxhound or beagle than a ratter. No wonder he doesn’t “kill stuff.” Rat terriers definitely kill stuff, so quick you can’t see it happen. One quick shake and they’re done.

My cat killed a few mice and I had to remove them from his mouth to dispose of them. Once I came home to find one half eaten. Fortunately I have no more mice because I always remember Mickey Mouse and don’t like to kill them, but my cat thought he was a great hunter!

Oh God it’s about time he started on a arc that is actually funny! love this new dog!

My wife and I watched our 16-pound cat kill a rat that must have weighed at least that much.He sighted the critter running full speed across the room, flew down from his window ledge, stopped the rat’s forward motion by landing with his right forefoot directly in front of the rat’s nose, hooked him in the back of the neck with his left, lifted rat’s neck up to his mouth, took one bite and that critter was so dead he didn’t even twitch.The entire process — sighting to killing — took no more than three seconds. We had a lot more respect for our cat after watching that magnificent performance.

unnormal,You got pretty lucky and also had a darned good cat. I had two who barely noticed mice. After catching my sixth, in my own hand, I sat them down and explained that that was their job. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but in turn each of them eventually started catching and killing mice. I expect they only did that while I was awake and at other times it was more like a scene from Garfield. :)

@unnormal, you had a 16-pound rat in your house? Well, it’s a good thing your cat is such a good killer!

@unnormal – If you have 16-pound rats where you live, MOVE!

hey it’s not fair they are having a battle of wits and Bucky is unarmed

One of my cats caught a mouse in the snow: she’s sitting on the top step looking over the snow-covered yard and acting strange, so I watched. All of a sudden she leaps into the middle of the snow and shakes her head: there’s a mouse in her mouth and blood on the snow. .On the other hand, this same cat brought home a bread wrapper she hunted down and killed as it blew across the yard.

I hate to bust the Bucky bubble, but cat’s don’t bury prey, nothing to dig up. Bucky bluff, perhaps.

Love the new dog and that now Satch is feeling a sense of camaraderie and Bucky has kind of met his match. Also that constant rope in the mouth…. lol

I’m glad to be back and reading (what appears to be) new strips from Conley. Let us hope we NEVER go back to Muppets etc.

2 dogs agin’ 1 cat he’s gonna have to be sharp!

My cat used to corner roaches and then yell for Daddy to come finish them off with a slipper. Coward.

The bloated beige behemoth and his filthy friend would be well advised to avoid the wrath of The Buckster.

Our cat, Zephyr, is no hunter. Pigeons made a nest under our BBQ one year. Zeph would go out, sit down about a foot away from the nest and just watch. No wonder the eggs didn’t hatch! However, he also walks across the park to say hello to neighbour dogs. So, best of both worlds.

Wow, that sounds like Darby did some name research.

I have a perfectly suited pair of male cats: one hunter – one eater
