I always appreciated that my cats didn’t catch the mice, they apparently only convinced them to go live elsewhere, because we never had any signs of mice (or rats!) living with us. No scrabbling or squeaking at night, no mousie turds, no gnawed-through cereal boxes, etc. And no headless corpses or discarded tails, either, which was the best part.
Millions of dollars have been spent on nutritional studies of cats. It turns out there is one food with 100% of the cat’s dietary requirements – “mousies”. Unfortunately, when you steam it and put it in a can, it smells so awful humans won’t have it in the house. So, the research goes into alternatives.
i didn’t know kliban’s cats were on gocomics! yay!! back in 1975 when i went to then-Leningrad for a winter semester, i took a collection of six kliban posters to leave as gifts for the russian friends i made. this was one of them, and was one of my favorites, but my other favorite i ended up taking back to the u.s. for myself: momcat. i felt momcat summed up how i felt about myself. indeed, that was my email address for many years.

We found one with it’s little head bitten off by the cats’ food dish one morning. We never found the little head.

I always wished we could know what tune he was playing so we could sing along
I did make up my own of course, but who knows for sure except Kliban?

I always admired a cat that can play a guitar and sing for his supper…
