Smell Those Girls!

August 20, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Slinky One is sitting at the window, looking out at the girl cats on the porch. He asks The Puppy if she can smell those girls. The Puppy sniffs around the door and says she can smell those girls. The Slinky One approaches and says he wants to smell those girls.

Okay, so back in the ’80s when my Poppy would come home from his friend’s house, he’d say to our dog, “Smell those girls!” because his friend had a load of girl dogs. My Poppy would’ve been 100 this Friday so you’re getting some way out interpretations of some of his quotes.

That Weird Bird.

August 17, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The porch cats are all eating, I'm standing guard with a feathered cat toy. The fluffy calico says the baby tabby eats slow, and the baby tabby hisses at her. I tell the fluffy calico to play with the toy I'm holding, and she asks me why I'm touching her with that weird bird.

The fluffy calico likes to eat. She likes it so much she will finish hers, walk right over, and eat the food right out from under her kittens. So I try to slow her down by playing with her, but she has no idea what cat toys are about.

BABYCAT!

August 15, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I see the baby tabby across the street and start calling to her. The fluffy calico is nursing her kittens and tells me to be quiet, because her kittens are acheiving zen. Across the street, the baby tabby angrily says she hopes I have food this time. Her mother, the tortie, appears out of nowhere and says she thinks she'll have some dinner, too.

Okay, so when I see my baby tiger, apparently I don’t see the houses beyond the gates.

My Horoscope Said I Could Do Anything….

August 13, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The baby tabby is trying to come up the stairs, but the fluffy calico and one of her kittens are blocking the way. The tiniest kitten is being fierce, scaring the baby tabby. I step in, all frizzed out, and warn the tiny kitten to step off because the baby tabby is mine. The fluffy calico asks who I think I am, and I say my horoscope said I could do anything so I became a cat.

I’m not even a very good cat, I’ll admit it. That fierce tiny kitten didn’t care one bit that I was telling her to let my baby tiger up on the porch.

Run Free, Mousie!

August 10, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I'm running out to the yard carrying The Slinky One, who has a mouse in his mouth. I tell him we can free the mousie outdoors, and then hold The Slinky One back from chasing the mouse when he drops it. I yell, "Run free, mousie!" as The Slinky One laments losing his mouse. In the third panel, the mouse sits outside, asking, "What the hell am I supposed to do out here?"

Humane mouse traps are great and all, but I have to wonder how the mice I’m setting free are getting on out there in the world.

My Hot Sons!

August 8, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The Ninja Twins are running side-by-side. The Slinky One is holding a mouse in his mouth. The Fluffy One runs alongside and says, "Sharing is caring!" and asks to play with the mouse. I tell them it's kinda hot when they catch mice but they need to drop the mouse. In a close-up on the mouse in The Slinky One's mouth, the mouse says, "Great idea, listen to that big cat!"

My hot sons came into my life 15 years ago today and everything they do continues to bring sunlight and joy to every day.

(That mouse lived, but wait for the next comic to find out how.)

I Got Your ID Right Here

August 6, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I come home and the Puppy is waiting at the door, hair standing on end. She tells me she needs to see some ID. I tell her it's me, but she insists she needs to smell everyone who comes through the door. In the third panel, The Puppy is done sniffing my butt and says, "Okay, it's you!"

The Puppy is a thorough database.

The humane traps have become quite a source of entertainment for the Ninja Twins and The Puppy. The Puppy has jumped across the floor to play with an empty trap. Maybe it’s the peanut butter?

It’s true, m’Man could turn everything in his presence kawaii, it was just one of his sexy super powers.

Talkin’ Mice-Catching Blues

July 30, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I'm playing with the baby tabby and a toy mouse. The tortie asks me if I ever caught a real mouse and I rave about a humane mousetrap I found and how I release them in the wild. The fluffy calico asks, "You don't eat them?" and I remind them I only eat fruits and vegetables. The cats look at me in disbelief.

The only thing I am reviewing here is that playing squeaky mouse with a young tabby is 10/10.

MY HOT SONS!

July 27, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

Aw, kids.

Aw, moms.

Hello, Kittens.

July 25, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The black-and-white boy cat shows up and asks if the fluffy calico's black-and-white kittens are his. The fluffy calico says, "No, they're mine." The black-and-white cat says, "Hmm," as a orange tabby kitten much like the ones the white tiger cat made chomps on his tail.

I could be wrong, but this black-and-white cat only comes around once in a while, and now there are two black-and-white kittens following the fluffy calico around. The third was like seeing a ghost. A cute little fuzzy ghost. Could my Siberian tiger friend I haven’t seen in 11 weeks be the kitten-daddy? I don’t know. These three are terrified of us. Not even food is doing the trick to get them to come over.

Cats Can Park Wherever They Please

Nan suggested this, because she’s in love with the fluffy calico who lives on our porch but doesn’t want to live WITH us.

Run From The Sound!

July 20, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

I hear a sound and get scared. All the cat ladies say "What?" and get scared. We run, and I yell, "Run away from the sound!" The tapping sound turns out to be a neighbor dog. She calls, "Hello?" but no one answers.

Based on a true story where the smallest, sweetest dog scared me into the house late one night.

Look At Her!

July 18, 2018 ~ TailsFromTheBackyard

The baby tabby plays with a toy mouse. The fluffy calico and tortie watch her, commenting that the mouse isn't organic and the tag is visible. The baby tabby spits the toy mouse at them and says she'll share. The fluffy calico runs, saying she doesn't know where it's been. The tortie says, "Don't throw your thing at me!"

LOOK AT HER!
