    If I had a cat they would enjoy “yum yum kitty cat spider treats”!

    I know mine would love spider treats, though not as much as june bug treats. Except I have no doubt I would find spider treats lurking in my bed. Sometimes, my adored Fuzzballs can be ‘teh ebil’.

      That’s why we don’t patch screens with tape. Too easy for inquiring paws to peel off. We always have used fishing line to stitch it back up.

    No mention of how the tear came about .. all the cats of course, know nothing about that! Reminds me of a cat Stray Gray who would punch out any screen to gain access to the outdoors! He could only be kept inside in the winter; drove me crazy as I am a firm believer of no cats outside at night. Poor Poor Elvis what a way to start Monday. Great job as always.

    Love panel 12! The “mouse” and note to “get more sticky notes”.
    Yes, my boys love the bug who accidently comes in.

    Alright…gotta figure out what Puck’s sticky notes say.

    Top to bottom, clockwise…

    “leaves!”
    “Spider [?]”
    “July Bug”
    “Sardine β™ͺ notes β™«” ?? sorta guessing here
    “Yes’m?” (complete guess here!)

    I believe we can solve this mystery, commenters!

      I think it’s “sunshine = one note” “rain = symphony”. Classic!

        I think the lower left sticky note says “yarn?” not “yes’m”. But I could be wrong.

      August 17, 2015, 9:14 am | # | Reply

      The center one reads “Buy new sticky notes”. Elvis is definitely in an Angry Fussy Paws mood by the end!

      Not sure about the Sardine one – looks like “Sardine rain” with Puck lying on his back awaiting the downpour, maybe?

    I would have thought that letting the bugs in was a feature, not a bug.

    For a fact, there is joy and munchies whenever moths, crickets and katydids invade our territory. Defense of the homeland and a crunchy snack never went so well together.

    Poor Angry Fussy Paws!! Lupin frustrates him yet again. Love Puck transcribing holding his finger up, so perfect. You are so talented, I’m sure you’ll be hearing from Friskies about your jingle any second and you can do home repairs!

    I was trying to read Puck’s notes (lemon?!), and was about to say something about his cute infuser, when I noticed the thimble-mug and position changes, and realized he has an intern! Squee!

      I missed the little mug until you pointed it out, thanks Lisa. That buzzy wind up mouse is so very precious to Puck, he hasn’t been without it for several strips lately. Georgia, does Puck sleep with it? Does it have a set of pajamas too??

        He does occasionally snooze next to it, (Lupin too) as for its own pjs, we will have to see! πŸ˜‰

    Oh, and thanks for solving a puzzle for me! I’d always wondered why Lupin dictated notes to himself in audio form! Of *course* sweet, obliging Puck transcribes them for him. I should have known.

        Obviously, the paw pad is visible, so Puck is not being rude. (Glad you included that detail — otherwise I too would have thought the worst).

      Most cats are lactose intolerant. As long as your cat is not vomiting and/or has runny poo I don’t see the harm in doing what you are doing, giving her an occasional taste.

    I like how you answered the question about how Lupin gets his notes to self off his recorder and worked it in as another way Lupin stands in the way of Elvis’ serious news reporting.

        He could be programmed for his tail and face to get puffy, then extra puffy, and catstremely puffy, and his eyes, eyebrows, and ears could move too.

    Hahahaha! Is Elvis pulling the tape off the screen? Ann is Buzzy mouse wearing a tiny white shirt? Hee hee! I adore these cartoons! The art is spectacular and the humor is perfect. .I love the way you have developed each of their personalities They are 3 very distinct characters and yet they are family. Much like multiple cat homes everywhere. The reason all the readers of this strip can identify is most of us have some of these same experiences with our own family of cats!

    I am “one of those”. I reread the cartoons until the next new one comes out. So glad I did because I missed a couple of really cute details. Elvis’ notebook says, “Talk about bug,” and the top Post it note on Puck”s board says, “Get more Post It notes!” I love it.
