Millicent, supreme authority over my family many, many years ago, would sometimes sit in the kitchen doorway with her back to us, and sulk so powerfully that she made the room go dark around her.
Let me tell you about my cat McKayla. I found her under my father’s car in 2000, on a cold, rainy November night. She was a little Tabby Kitten with a huge purr motor. I took her home to our house and on the way, she curled up on my shoulder and purrred. She was my cat ever since.
She loved the rest of the family but she would sit on my lap in the evenings and purr. She did not take any sass from dogs. She stood up to cats much bigger than her, even though she was a very tiny. " And though she be but little, she is fierce" .
She was losing weight since last fall. She had grown very tired all the time. Yesterday, while purring on my hand, McKayla passed away in the vet’s office.
I have a hole in my heart. Her spot on next to me on the chair is empty. I will never forget my cat Mckayla.
My mother was a hairdresser and worked at home. The hair dryer was in our spare bedroom which was where our crotchety old cat slept on a hideaway bed. When clients would be under the drier Blackie Cat would assume this position exactly just to make sure they knew how unwelcome they were.
So sorry, rs. You were both blessed to have found each other and share such wonderful years together. She will always be by your side and a presence in your life.
Our Sage used to turn into a rock when mad (15 lbs into 300 lbs.) with a look that that said “eat Rosie crunchies and die!” all while sweetly purring. Rosie crunchies are what is deposited in the “BOX” – one of our dogs favourite treats.
Bless you and your angel kitty, it sounds like you had many good years together and you gave her a wonderful life. It still hurts so much to say goodbye.

I love that you you and McKayla had each other for 19 years. While every cat is amazing, sometimes we are blessed with those that are extra amazing. My heart is heavy for your loss but happy for your time together.
19 is a good age for a cat, so obviously you looked after her well.As I always say, take time to mourn. Then, when it feels right, resume your duties to the feline order. https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/shelter-cats-a-bcn-special-report?ct=v&cti=2084167

Oh yes, I think all of us have experienced a cat doing this to us. Masters of the passive aggressive (and the not so passive, too).

Awwww, Elvis! Now I feel bad for him, as I am meant to do, and he knows that.
I call this the “I’m ignoring you, nyaaaaa” pose. Any second now he’ll check over his shoulder to see if they’ve noticed how much he’s ignoring them.

But really, Elvis, it’s time to jump on Lupin and give him a good thrashing. He’s been asking for it for a long time.

Typical simmering, festering Angry Fussy Paws behaviour. ;p Elvis, be the Good Boy that you are and dare to enjoy the food out of your own bowl.

I wanted you all to know her.

SEE! See me ignoring you?? Probably sitting right in the path of traffic so you’ll have to step around me and notice me ignoring you. So there!

Aawww, Elvis. Everycat deserves a good sulk every now and then. Have at it, buddy.

Elvis, if you insist on angrily ignoring the world around you, you may find there is NO food left at all for Mr. Angry Fussy Paws.

I’m turning my back to you
Flattening my ears back
Twitching my tail!
…….
I’m lying next to the dish
Snubbing all the Humans
Showing them my fangs!
…….I’m ignoring you cat friends
My anger has no end
I wanted the green dish
I didn’t get my wish!
And I trust that you’ll excuse my dust
And hair balls

The star of this strip should have his own bowl, and be allowed to choose which one it is. It’s in his rider! Outrageous!
