Babycat, where’s your baby at?

Yay, I finally get to tell some stories about the early days of kitten spice exploring and only being able to find him because of his mom’s intense glare down behind the boards I used to block him off from danger! The moral of those stories is don’t try to block kittens, they are water.Continue reading “Babycat, where’s your baby at?”

They’re All So Cute Together!

Okay, this all has kinda happened and they’re all very cute together when they’re awake, but, you know, it’s jarring having a wee grey tiger come running up in your face, especially if you’re a nearsighted fluff panther. Also when a puppy nearly sits on you because you match her favorite rug and you’re onContinue reading “They’re All So Cute Together!”

Help The Kitties Be Friends!

The Puppy has been extremely cool with Team Tiger zipping around her head and occasionally having an opinion about her in their space…that’s her space, but they want it. She grew up with cats, after all.

Your Mother-In-Law’s Potatoes

Okay, so…I realize you have questions. I will attempt to answer them. Yes. Technically he should play solids and the tabbies should play stripes. We’re all one team. They haven’t…yet. There was, but I fixed it. Balls can always be used to hit stuff, preferably squishy balls.

One Way to Keep the Sun out of Your Eyes

Hit myself in the eye with an entire hedge and other things for three decades.

Ah, Summer!

I’m fine, really.

Here’s to Nip and the Cats Who Love It.

I tell The Fluffy One that it's hot and he should come in. "Eh, go play with your kitten," The Fluffy One tells me. He's laying in catnip, and gets excited about crunching the leaves. "The nip, it opens the magical portal! Yes!" In the third panel, The Fluffy One purrs in the sun with the spirit of his bro purring nearby.

Man, if catnip could do that I’d let it grow AAAAAAALLLLLL OVER THE PLACE. (Hi, Mum!) Yesterday was 16 years since we adopted the Ninja Twins, and I wish they still had each other (here, in this world. X-Files taught me to specify when I’m making wishes). The universe ain’t been right without the doubleContinue reading “Here’s to Nip and the Cats Who Love It.”

Sweet Dreams

Well, clearly I’m coping. (Don’t worry, The Good Sir has a place to sleep, too.)

Vacation From Myself

A few days, that’s all. When I drew this I wasn’t sure if I’d be taking all of July off to just…I don’t know. Nothing I’ve got planned! I can tell you that much. The comic is back on 7/8 and you’ll be in some very good paws. Bribery is always welcome at: https://ko-fi.com/LyndaN

Hello, Friend!

I was drawing those other two comics you saw this week when all these red admirals started landing on me and the paper and the house and each other and everything! It was awesome!

Late Night Activities

Note that giving kittens rides on backs is not safe.

What’s Summertime?

To be accurate, it’s the season that it seems normal for me to be walking around in a tank top and sitting under trees. I mean, I was sitting out there with my furry children in February.

I Want Them All To Be Friends!

It’s going well. Really. I mean, they’re all still alive. Well, you know what I mean.

Babyer Babycat! Tinier Tinycat! A KITTEN!

Holding a phone, I creep up on a box where Babycat had The Kitten. I say, "Hello! Do you like your first box, babyer babycat?" Inside the box, Babycat is nursing her kitten, a small grey tabby. "Can a girl get some privacy?" she asks. In the corner, there is a bit of the sorts of things you find after a cat has had kittens. "Okay, Babycat!" I say, fiddling with my phone. "Just gonna post these photos and look up what that other thing is in the corner."

Hey, I draw it how it was. I didn’t wanna bug her too much, not knowing how many kittens were on the way. Around 10:44 I peeked in and Babycat already had her kitten cleaned up and was nursing him. In the corner was the sort of thing you find when a cat has aContinue reading “Babyer Babycat! Tinier Tinycat! A KITTEN!”

Privacy!

Babycat tells The Puppy a whole story about needing a safe place to have her kitten. The Puppy hears her meowing and asks, "Is this cat a werewolf?" Babycat asks the fluffy calico through the window. "Where's a good place to have my kitten?" The fluffy calico says, "Find a tire or a closet, I'm not your mom!" In the third panel, I'm looking for Babycat, and she pokes her head out of the closet and says, "I need privacy!"

I wish I had video of all the talking Babycat did the day she had her kitten. It was adorable and I thought she was just being really friendly until she climbed into my Mum’s closet and well, then things got real. Yay for her being a patient cat and yay for big boxes!
