Fred Basset by Alex Graham for September 22, 2020

Good boy Fred. You may have trouble with the lads about this. They’ll just have to get over it.

Atta boy, Fred!

Stockholm syndrome in reverse…

I KNEW you’d get there! You have a new playmate and cuddle buddy. Good for you for seeing the good in him.

I can’t believe it…Might it really happen?

I hope so…

You’ll get along like a house on fire..I just wonder how Jock will act.. can’t wait to read the continuation

Fred you should of chased off this freeloader while you had the chance ….

No, no, no! Cats chose their families, so the Dears & Fred have been CHOSEN, besides, Fred won’t be alone now, when the Dears go out without him.

Good lad, Fred! I knew you’d find it in your doggy soul to embrace the new kitty. Cats make great cuddle buddies, too – warm and soft and purring; a heating pad with ambient sound.

And Fred will be blamed for all the trouble this cat’s going to get into.

You’ve made my day Fred!

I knew Fred would cave-he’s a friendly guy.

Y A Y!!!!!

The Grosvenor Street gang will show no mercy, so Fred and the Lads will have to save her.

Who’s a good boy, Fred? You are! You are a good boy!!!

There, Fred. Way to go.

Fred is so cute.

Fred’s a good boy and he’s got a new buddy

I was going to ask whether speech (OK, thought balloons) was/were reserved for only the dogs, but now that I think about it, we’ve only seen it/them from Fred, not his doggy buddies…

Oh, Fred, you do have a big heart.

I’ve often heard it said: “Never trust a smiling cat.”

Our first dog and second and fourth cats got along great.
