Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for February 09, 2012

This is looking bad for Bucky’s diet

Hoisted on his own celery stick.

This cat ain’t right! My cats couldn’t care less if I think they’re genius or idiots. As long as I feed them, empty the litter pan, wait on them, etc. we’re all good.

Primum non carne

I think Satchel should be on Bucky’s side of this argument. Or does Rob feed him Tofu dog food?

How can a genius even consider eating tuna?

Mind, cats can’t actually eat a vegetarian diet. They have to have meat products. But dogs can.

Oh, they KNOW they’re brilliant, they just don’t give a hoot what I think!

in vegetaria, even a vegetable can be a philosopher

My mother’s cat, an rather unpleasantly blimpish, nasty animal eats only dry kibble. Won’t touch meat or tuna or any of that. Is 16, has health problems, and the worst attitude of any cat I’ve ever met. My cat, who is 20 and healthy and spry, gets the highest quality gooshy food I can find with the highest meat content, and the occasional snack of raw whatever we’re having for dinner. He’s pleasant, friendly, and well behaved. Go figure.

Wet cat food is better than dry for your feline according to my vet. I haven’t tried either myself…..

Who ever said that being a genius was pleasant?

Bucky does have a point though. I saw a program on the Discovery cahnnel that said that the meat eating apes Millions of years ago survived because the Protien they were getting from the meat helped their brains grow and thus they were able to adapt the changing conditions because they got smarter. While the plant eating apes’ brains didn’t grow. They remained stupid & thus became extinct.

The mercury in Bucky’s tuna could explain his lack of focus.

I wish I had a lush glossy coat.

Eat some meat, Pinkish, and it might make you a bit bolder with the ladies.

I’m tempted to get panel 3 tattooed on myself

This is hardly fair since Bucky can’t be a vegetarian as cats are obligate carnivores.

…and cats need more protein than dogs. So remember, when you retire cat food is the way to go: it’s better for you.

Cats can be vegetarians and even vegans. I know some and they do just fine. Nabuquduriuzhur, you’re as crazy as Bucky. Vegetarians have much lower levels of diabetes, heart disease, many cancers, etc. It is a very healthy way to live.

Proof positive that no one is completely perfect…Viva Meat!

recently I read a general article that stated cats need to chew grass and gnaw bones to get their teeth clean, a major issue for exclusively indoor cats….and “pet food” is a recent invention too. Maybe it’s time we did more of what our ancestors did and feed animals food more like ours, allowing for their needs and problems.

doublepaw, steverino, spread a little on a Ritz cracker and enjoy! Yum! Think of it as pate…..

Ah, food. Went veggie for a couple of weeks and lost some weight. Probably will do it again next month. Two weeks ONLY.

Poor ol’ Buck. And Juke! a great line…I promise I will quote you. I just won’t give you the credit…

The moral of the story is “Smart people don’t eat meat.” Remind me to NOT read that story ever again.

Back in the 40’s and 50’s, sometimes my mom would give our dog and cat Bar-None Dog and Cat Food. It came in a can, looked like all-starch corned beef hash, and smelled like nothing much. The pets would eat it if they were hungry enough, but you could sense the cussing thought-bubbles over their heads.

Be very careful with feeding pets garlic! They are toxic in low doses, causing hemolytic anemia. Same with anything else in the onion family.

I’m suddenly having a flashback of Mrs. Wilco’s cat. “Bring me fifteen Number 5s with extra pig!”

Odd, Wikipedia doesn’t list Hippocrates among famous vegetarians. And the diets of Socrates and Aristotle are disputed.

I agree there is virtually no evidence that any of them were actually vegetarians especially hippocrates.

Not really enjoying the vegetarian agenda storyline…

My cats, whenever possible, eat mice – the proven 100% nutritious catfood, developed by thousands of years of co-evolution. Unfortunately, if you boil and tin mice, they smell terrible – hence, the millions and millions spent on attempting to find a nutritious substitute to fit the human sense of smell.

Dogs are omnivoires.

I give my cat some canned food for breakfast and then leave some dry food for the rest of the day. She is an inside cat, is now 8 yrs. old and healthy. You can provide whatever for them to work their claws but they will destroy your furniture anyway. My cats inside cats were always de-clawed and never knew the difference. They still went around sharpening those imaginary claws on furniture, etc.

better start eatin’ spinach Buck. Put ’Ol Popeye on that list ’o geniuses.

Maybe that is why our cat just had a root canal !

So what we need to find for poor Bucky is a brainy person who ate a lot of monkey meat… If I knew a place that sold canned monkey meat I would send a can to Darby Conley, in the hopes of inspiring a cartoon of Bucky finally getting to eat some monkey meat- and being Bucky, of course not liking it.

My last dog ate scraps and Jo-Bo dog food- if they had it in stores I’d buy a can for my shelf…

I wonder how Bucky lost his fang?

Socrates was a vegetarian? Wonder what he did with that cock he borrowed from… uh, never mind, not gonna go there, no way, no how.

Bucky’s prob is he’s listing greek philosophers. They believed, if you want to be strong like a bull, eat what the bull eats. He should try some roman philosophers. They believed in eating the bull.

Just goes to show you that you can be a genius in one area, but a complete moron in another…. lol

Knew a very dainty, girly girl cat that went head to head with a raccoon. She survived to enjoy another 10 years. Don’t know about the raccoon.

I fed our dog a bowl of scraps from the dinner table and when he was done eating there were a bunch of peas in his bowl….nothing else. I never figured out how he did that because it was all mixed together. He died before I could get him to tell me the secret.

Ist thing: Cats can be Vegan. I have 9 cats, 7 are totally happy on a vegan diet See: http://www.veggiepets.com/ My 2 dogs are Vegan as well as my son (who is 18) and myself.2nd thing: The reason people from India suffer from Iodine defficiency is because they are land locked and the people often cannot afford idionized salt! It has NOTHING to do with them being vegetarian.

lol bucky in the center panel XD Still I think it’s really wtf that bucky’s all idolizing humans…

You know what else all those ancient Greek geniuses believed in? Pederasty.

Lived off those for a time ages ago, the sauce dipped ones aren’t too bad really.

And these comics are ALL…….Repeats,Repeats,Repeats,Repeats.

Do we REALLY know all these guys were vegetarians? Really?
