    Go girl go! And then get the heck out of here… though I get the feeling her woman is going to be what they get instead of animal control. Mostly because i’m not 100% certain this town HAS traditional animal control given Tommy’s woman tends to be the one to show up when they would.

    Roy is def better. He saw “Puddin Pop” (we call him that bc we think he is the father of Puddin’ a stray kitten we rescued late last year and was adopted by Barb’s ex) a local friendly (to me) feral who comes around a few times a week for pets and feeding. Roy is very jealous of him and started growling. Final proof, he is back to “normal” but still weaker and now lack night vision (Did he have a small stroke?). Poody has an appointment with our new (old) local vet at Sullivan County Animal Hospital Thursday afternoon. She seems OK with syringe feeding for the most part (puréed baby food meats) and is purring when I hold her. She has been sleeping on my dirty work clothes in a laundry basket. I feel terrible for her, that she is suffering.

    There’s something deep inside of me

    A terror that I get to be

    I dumped your syrup in the drain

    I wonder if these carpets stain

    You might think I’m a brat

    But you tidy folks do not suit this cat

    Ah, the majesty and awe (or is that shock and awe?) of Sophie’s magnum opus! The color! The texture! The combination of scattered cutlery, shattered glass and pottery, sticky and easily-spread materials! And she hasn’t even gotten to the paper towels, napkins, or toilet paper yet! The potential for pawprints EVERYWHERE! Visual proof that The ceiling is a floor if you believe!

    Originally I wrote this strip to specific lyrics to “I can do it with a broken heart,” by Taylor Swift—a song I really think captures Sophie’s whole journey this year! (Also a song I love myself!) When I reached out to my editor and they reached out to the legal department to get the specifics on “how many lyrics is too many lyrics to use from a song”, they VERY UNDERSTANDABLY said that unfortunately maybe one line could be used, but the rest would need to be parody. I’ve only mostly ever dealt in parody lyrics, so this made sense!

    I’ll try to share a little video on social media today of how I originally planned out these panels! And over on Patreon in a few days, I’ll share this strip in color! Because—look closely!—I originally painted this strip in full color and then changed the hues in Photoshop, dropping a scan of the inked lines over the final version! This needed to be in color (for me and for Sophie to really enjoy ourselves making this mess, lol!), and exists in real life in full vibrancy!

    Shortly after we moved into this house when I was a kid, my mom was bringing in the groceries and the paper bag was a bit damp. The bottom of the bag split and a bottle of syrup broke on the living room carpet and soaked through the carpet and the padding all the way to the subfloor. For years, my mother tried to get it cleaned, even trying steam cleaning on more than one occasion, but nothing would get the sticky out. It might look clean for a few days, but then it would attract dirt. She finally got the chance to have it replaced after the water heater guys had a mishap when they removed her old water heater.

    My next door neighbor who has at least one cat has died. He was quite old and an ambulance had been called for him at least once before the final time this week.

    Now it may actually be his wife’s cat, based on when I had to tell him his cat had died about 20 years ago. His reaction seemed more like she’s not going to be happy.

    There’s a new computer game in which you play as a little black kitty who has to make its way back home to an apartment several stories up. Very cute and wholesome from what I can tell—cartoony and no real danger (unlike the game Stray, which is excellent but does have some scary moments and a dangerous enemy). Anyway, the game—“Little Kitty, Big City”— lets you knock things off edges as much as you like—very cat-approved, lol =D
