My wife brings her home every night and our cats recently discovered the...

I've been feeling under the weather for the past few days. BUT I'm feeling better and my energy starting to come back. New comics coming soon.
This one is from 2016. You might've seen it before - and if not, it's like a new comic! It's based on my old tabby cat, Simon, who loved to mess with the toilet paper.

It's the most realistic Halloween costume ever.
Are you planning on wearing a costume on Halloween? I'm not sure. I might head over to Spirit Halloween tomorrow and grab something. We'll see.

Lately, my six-month-old tuxie has been jumping up on shelves, cabinets, etc and knocking things down. He's really stepped up his game in messing with things.
