Lies, lies, lies

A cartoon of a very hopeful looking tabby and white cat.

Pippin (BC, Canada) very sweetly came and asked his human for snacks at lunchtime, sitting on their desk and patiently waiting for them to be ready to feed him. The plan was nearly perfect. Unfortunately humans can talk to each other, and the human was warned that he had already been fed.

The Secret Ingredient

Molly (Greater London, UK) likes lying on a heated mat. There are two heated mats, one for each cat. She especially likes lying on Max's mat. The mats are identical, but she takes every opportunity to steal his.

Homebody

Marseille (Chișinău, Moldova) completely vanished the moment she detected the faintest hint that her human was going to take her outside in her cat backpack. The idea was she might get to see snow for the first time, but she went from meowing all day and being a lap cat to being silent and hidden. Her human was very spooked and hunted everywhere for her. Eventually she was found behind their clothes in the closet drawer.

A Long Call

A cartoon of a tabby cat shouting.

Whatever the humans were eating, it smelled like fish, and Rom (Cambridgeshire, UK) was very certain he would like some. He decided to loudly let his humans know this for as long as he could still smell it (which was quite some time).

Guardcat

Mihee (Seoul, South Korea) is an excellent guardcat and likes to stand on the doormat, between her human and the dangers outside. Unless she's actually there to make sure her human doesn't leave. Either way, she is doing a good job.

Tigger-Tiger Endures Terrible Ordeal

A cartoon of an orange and white cat curled up tightly with one paw over his eyes.

Tigger-Tiger (Massachusetts, USA) had to endure a visit from his vet for which his breakfast was laden with drugs. Blood was drawn after much poking and being unceremoniously wrapped in a towel despite his protests. Thankfully he escaped soon after the ordeal to his lovely perch by the back window where he curled up into a ball and covered his eyes with one paw. He is going to file a complaint with his human staff and expects extra treats and plentiful cuddles.

Not Good Enough

A cartoon of a tabby cat staring away from a little cat treat.

Janey (Manitoba, Canada) was offered some new treats lately. She was not impressed at all, and refused to even consider eating such awful tributes.

God Among Cats

A cartoon of an orange and white cat standing on a pink sink. In the sink lie the remains of a Venus statue.

Mighty Tony (California, USA) has shown his divine power and thrown down one the gods of old. Aphrodite/Venus is no more.

Breaking Boundaries

A cartoon of a silver tabby cat with its paws wrapped around a computer mouse, sitting next to a keyboard.

Q (BC, Canada) is not allowed to stand or sit on the keyboard. No one had told him he can't sit on and claim the mouse yet though.

Grumpy Guard

A cartoon of a grumpy white cat looking back over her shoulder.

Lydia's (Greater London, UK) human has been in the wrong room all day. This has been a great annoyance for her, and she has had to grumpily guard the doorway in case they aren't safe in there.
