Kliban's Cats by B. Kliban for December 22, 2020

Geesh, they’re everywhere!

Perhaps on Mars, but not on Pluto, he’s a dog!

They’re obviously peaceful aliens.

All the better: more hands for petting! B^D

“Cats on Mars? Ancient Alien theorists say: YES!”

No matter what lap, they always seem to take a nap.

Cats on planet Zorg.

Everyone should love cats

I’m not sure i could trust someone who didn’t at least like cats

Why not both?

Only Major Tom knows for sure.

I am reminded of the old Star Trek show, “The Trouble with Tribbles,” based on the ‘flat cats’ introduced in the Robert Heinlein book, “The Rolling Stones.” Flat cats were lovable but tended to reproduce rather quickly.

Martians probably died out because they allowed their civilization to go to Hell rather than wake a sleeping cat.

Truly they are really the aliens that the Israeli scientist was talking about.

This explains everything.

All the dogs are on Sirius.

How numerous they are in their ubiquity.

I find this delightfully odd.

Mars needs cats.

Of course! Barsoom is a name that even a qat can pronounce.
