Ouch… >.< I'd hate to be allergic to cats.
I am. Dogs, too. but my family has two of each. I’m really careful, so I hardly ever have problems with it.
This, unfortunately.
Same here, it seems that you can sorta get over allergies like that
The Mikitten is made of win and awesome, as well as anaphalactic shock.
Mikitten is already a totally win just by hes name.
What an asshole.
Asshole cat.
Very befitting for Mike’s cat.
This is all the proof we need that this cat is Mike’s – it acts just like him.
+1 Princess Bride.
Leslie Bean, I love you more every day.
And another +1 to the author, for using two unexpected weekend updates purely to set up a Princess Bride joke!
YES.
Oooh, this hits close to home. I touched some Avacodos at Win Co one day that were covered in a nasty pesticide. Had to take Benydryl for over 3 months to keep various parts of my body from swelling before it worked out from my system.
ACHOO!
She actually recognized it as Mike’s cat despite only glimpsing it once. That Mike scowl must be especially distinct on it.
I can’t remember names for crap, but a face is always recognizable. Especially ones like Mike’s.
We haven’t known much about allergies for most of human history, but cats? They know. They all know.
Hey, alcohol magically tranfers Mike’s assholitude from him to the cat. Neat!
Nah, I think just by hanging around Mike, the assholitude rubbed off on him. That, and cats can sometimes just plain be assholes in real life. Just because they can get away with it.
And when Mike is sober, the cat actually has quite a pleasant and friendly demeanor. But, ironically, no one can tell the difference: it is, after all, still a cat.
I think that Mike got that cat specifically because it was an asshole like him.
I’m not that badly allergic, but I know Leslie’s suffering. Poor girl.
I heard cats where mean but mike’s version of a cat… oh god.
That Face…that beahviour…Totally Mike as a Cat!
The cat takes after Mike, I see.
Well, since the Ham Ham’s take after their Amber, that makes sense.
Leslie might be allergic to cats, but -that- cat must breathe poison. I mean, just look at her! O_O
It doesn’t breathe poison; it breathes cat hair. It wasn’t grooming to be clean; it was accumulating ammo with its tongue. Once it heard Leslie was allergic the premeditation began.
Yes, I’m totally serious. Look at the comic.
What you’re implying doesn’t comfort me at all, but I reckon you must be right.
It’s Mike’s cat after all.
For some reason, I’m reminded of the biting cat from Azumanga Daioh.
Cats are dicks.
Spiky dicks.
I feel her pain.
That cat is evil. I want one now too even though I’m also allergic to cats
Cats aren’t truly evil. They just couldn’t care less. After all, the term suggested for a bunch of feline creatures is an “indifference” of cats. That said, I do think that cat, while indifferent, is a real cunt.
Don’t you mean it’s a… *Puts on sunglasses* pussy? OH NO WAIT WAIT I DIDN’T MEAN IT- *scorned to death for overusing a joke like that*
Cats are evil.
That’s why we love them.
Now that is a cat allergy.
Is it considered cruel irony that Robin’s lesbian is allergic to pussy?
…oh, come on, SOMEONE had to say it…
Nice one.
Somehow I always knew Mike would be a cat person.
It’s great that Mike’s cat has his same scowl.
-airfox
i think that cat should be mikes new pet. or at least hang around outside their house and bother people
Always with the cats lately. lol.
I see a pattern. Leslie loves Robin, but Robin is not gay, finally Robin decides to give it a try. Leslie likes cat, but is allergic to cat, so.. Shaved cat? miraculous SEMME inspired allergy cure? Cat decides to be a dog? only David knows.
Chemotherapy.
Heh. I was thinking of S*P as well, but more of a S*P/GWS crossover, where Leslie gets one of the kitties from Hazel.
Ooh. A crossover with S*P invites one from Punch & Pie as well! Aww yeah. Angela and Karen would fit right in at Shortpacked!
I wonder if there’s a ‘Mike’ in every species.
I’m guessing the dog version would be like some so called breed of dog which is considered a standard family pet like a labrador or a retriever. But he hates this and aims to prove once and for all how assholish he can be.
The various species of Bird!Mike would be pretty obvious in what they could do probably. But a parott version could be particulary twisted if it wanted to be.
(Clearly I am thinking on this too much).
I’ve met a dog version of Mike. She was an overweight Scottie who lived well into her 20s just to spite humanity.
I’m entirely certain that the time the airline sent her to D.C. rather than Columbus, OH it was because the luggage guy in CA had a nemesis at Washington Dulles.
Have we seen this cat in a previous strip?
Click “stray cat” in the tags below the strip.
My cat has the exact same scowl when he’s feeling antisocial.
Okay, I wasn’t all that warm on Leslie, but then she quoted “The Princess Bride.” I now have gone from “whatever, just don’t bring it up around me” to “we can be friends, just don’t do it in front of me,” if I was, say, someone who knew her.
I get almost the same way around my dad’s dog. I could leave the house, go back home, wash all of my clothes, and I will still sneeze for two weeks straight after visiting because of dog allergies.
I don’t know if I’m allergic to something. I don’t want to learn it the worst way…
Isn’t there art somewhere of a young kid Mike holding a cat? Hmm…must investigate…
Isn’t there art somewhere of a young kid Mike holding a cat? Hmm…must investigate…
I have since actually seen The Princess Bride and can laugh at the first panel.
I have four cats. They’re constantly one-upping each other in how terrible they can be. By comparison, the two skunks that live in the lot next door are pleasant company.
I started laughing like an idiot when I got the Princess Bride reference… I am a sad, sad person… OH WELL.
And that cat is frigging evil.
