Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for May 22, 2023

I sent in my idea for today’s FA also. This one by 6turtle9 beat my idea fair and square. Hey, I tried. How do cartoonists do this stuff every darn day?

Wow, really short lead time sensitive request yesterday.

‘Meh, none of them measure up to me.’

It’s abhorrent and unseemly, isn’t it?

Yes, beneath and God most high, w/pet owner’s simply coming to their emotional rescue.

…yes…

…I agree…

…beneath me is…

…purrrfect…

…never was a cat person…

…-spit-…

…they don’t have the spite of a humpback whale…

…shiver me timbers, though…

…one feline did give me the cat scratch fever…

…made me want to shoot up a case or two of Bug Lite Lime…

…and, yes…

…I said Bug Lite Lime…

…gotta problem with that?…

…cats…

…it had to be cats…

…don’t get me started about the movie…

…if I wanted to see Taylor Swift covered in fur…

…I’d do a sleep over with her brother, Tom..

…arrrgh…

…is nothing beneath me?…

…arrrgh…

This is entirely true. We have a stray who came to stay, and it does not allow other strays to attend.

It ain’t fittin, it just ain’t fittin…

Most cats manipulates their owners! They’re aloof, arrogant, and soooo puuurfectly cuddly and lovable!

Who, here, doesn’t move until their cat awakens from a nap on their lap?

Clean the litter box often, so kitty won’t miss?

Give treats at the slightest Meow?

The anthropologists really aren’t joking around when they say cats domesticated humankind, and not the other way around. ’They’re beneath me’ is an all too common thought in supervisors’ alleged brains the world over.

(In a bit of a snit since I missed your canvassing for a punchline, Ms. T. Sorry about that. Only an experienced, well-rounded, highly erudite wordnik such as yourself would feel comfortable with such a gambit. I admire it. And 6turtle9 too, if he didn’t already know.)

Cat beneath my feet.

My suggestion was a little too scatalogical …!

( way to go Tom )

Wow! What an INCREDIBLE coincidence.

Our cat, The Little Sh!t a/k/a The Cat Who Named Himself, is bored with his feather wand toy too!

Hey! Who’s been talking to our cats????

Ok, thanks glitchy GoComics. My earlier comment has disappeared. I guess they figured one mention of my lameness in the comics was enough for me for one day. Perhaps it is for the best, the deleted comment truly reached new heights of lame profundity. So now I am back where I belong, way beneath it all. The view is rather interesting, and it’s hard to beat the tinkle down…

Cats are inherently diabolical. That’s why they are always the familiars of witches. Capricious, rubbing up against your leg or lying and purring in your lap one moment, defecating on the dining room table the next [personal catsitting experiences]. Snooty! Aloof!

I have never been a Cat Person, per se, though I tolerate and even sometimes have liked those of extended family or those hangers-around at places I have frequented.

Dogs are more reliable (whether one way or the other). Apologies to any Crazy Cat Ladies (or Guys) reading this, but as the saying has it, it is what it is….
