Every storyteller finds their own unique source.

Might be a cat over the moon when Nate puts together the pieces

That must be how the cat caught the mice, with the rocket.

Scratch strikes again…please send him back to the green ship!

Go by the book, Scratch!!!

Hey… Scratch has whiskers!!!!!

What? I don’t see any mouse missing a head? It appears that that Scratch the Cat is all talk and no action!

This is just some of the payback for the mice hiding Scratch’s littler box the other week!!

Shame on you Scratch!

Good morning Crew!

It’s interesting that in stories mice are always portrayed as cute little animals that want to be friends. In reality, when a mouse comes into someone’s home, the reaction is always “Get it out! Get it out! Get it out!”

And in mouse stories, cats are always the villains. So also from reality, here’s a bunch of dogs doing their best to kill a rat:

Oh Scratch, it was supposed to be a fairy tale not a horror story!

The mice have little sad faces.

I’m actually starting to like Scratch. He and I both must be mellowing.

Good afternoon MoPar!

Scratch is awesome :)

Fits. Some human children’s “fairytales” include baking kids in an oven or having a wolf eat them alive. And people actually thought they were suitable for children… sigh.

Toss him overboard. Make sure that the Sharks are around.

How about “Cat Women of the Moon”?

Scratch was just adding a little poetic license.

Good evening, Crew!

Go take a long walk off a short pier, Scratch.

’Evening, Crew.

Such a tease, that Scratch.
