Fatcat on the loose
Our cat has been AWOL for about twenty hours. Not really a big deal, except our cat is a big fat pudding and rarely strays far from his bowl. He vanishes maybe twice a year, and then he’ll saunter past the kitchen window like nothin’ at all.
Man, I can’t imagine what it’s like to have kids.
Prompt was “an editorial cartoon of a very fat black and white domestic cat with his back against a tree as though he’s hiding from someone, in the style of Thomas Nast”. Not terrible. There were several amusing variants.

Update: he’s home. Little bastard.

Makes a want to strangle them while you’re hugging them and patting them and scolding them with a smile while telling them how much you missed them and to never do that again…don’t it?
Meanwhile back at the illustration…it captured Nast to a T didn’t it.

I like this picture very much…Well done A.I.
As for cats, we love them- as we love members of the opposite sex- partly or mainly because we don’t understand them, making them a perpetual source of frustration I meant amusement….
Or is it both?

Maybe you should shave prison stripes into his fur?

Probably just visiting a cat he knows. His Mom? Sister? Cats are social creatures too.
BTW, this is only website that warns me with the following. Am I under surveillance by the UK govt?
