Pickles by Brian Crane for August 17, 2014

There was once a “Garfield” Sunday comic where Jon tells Garfield that cats don’t ring doorbells when they want in. Garfield goes back out and madly scratches the door… much to Jon’s annoyance.

Opal, try moving the bench by the door.

cats usually aren’t big on sharing

I think it’s a porch railing. Don’t feed them or they’ll never quit doing that trick!

Look what the cat drugged in.

That’s nothing. My mom’s cat learned to call my stepfather by name. (Mind you, it made it easier that my stepfather was named “Ralph”, and Yang had that purebred Siamese voice.)

This is the 4th. week in Sunday rerun mode of 2007 Sunday Pickles strips.

Time for a PEEP hole….

I have two cats – they are siblings. The male cat always knocks loudly on the door and when I open the door, his sister comes in with him. If she wants in, she does not knock, she meows very very silently but insistently, so I can hear her after all.

Be thankful you don’t have Marmaduke!

I’m afraid so, Opal!

I knew a cat that was taught to ring the bell to be let in, it took about. 10 minutes with treats!

I’ve had cats who could open doors by door knobs, knock and come when whistled (all with no instruction)

One of our neighbors has a jingle bell suspended from a ribbon tied to the inside knob on her front door.When her cat wants out, he bats at the jingle bell.

I had a cat who would come to my room’s window to get my attention to come inside the house.
