In Which thedrunkenmonkey gets dog biscuits and highly impatient

[Kristev]

As a devoted cat servant of many years, I declare that that primate who tried to have you fired is in no way worthy of her cat, because she is not serving it properly. Cats have many needs, and expectations. It strikes me she is negectful, at best.

And the question is quite right. If the cat didn't eat the cat food, how could that be responsible for the cat's illness? More likely, the cat has caught some kind of virus or disease that made the cat 1) disinterested in eating and 2) lacking in bowel control.

Later on I found out from another cashier this lady really -is- the crazy cat lady SC, and has tried to get all dog items banned from the boutique, as well as demanding to have her cat seen only at the vet clinic when no other species are present.

Trying to get dog (i.e. pet) items banned from a boutique that sells pet stuff? That's like trying to get hamburgers banned from the Golden Arches.

As for the bit about the vet, it would be poetic justice if the vet accepted her terms.
"Yes, your cat can come in when no other species are present. Of course, since all our staff are Homo Sapiens, that means the appointment must be for a time when none of our staff are here - and since you also appear to be a different species from your cat, he has to find his own way to the office."

I thought that might be the place. I love leaning dogs. My in=laws have Great Pyrenees that like to sit on your lap. First time I saw them, I thought they were gigantic. Now they just seem like normal sized house pets and my Siberian mix looks like a little dog.

Finn is beautiful. I want to snuzzle him.

Now you're reminding me of one of the older Sinfest strips, displaying the fundamental difference between cats and dogs...the Animals' thoughts go something like this:

DOG: "[The human] keeps me warm, rubs my belly, and gives me food...He must be a god!"

CAT: "[The human] keeps me warm, rubs my belly, and gives me food...I must be a god!"

DOGGY *ahem* I love mastiffs. Finn weighs more than I do, so him leaning on me would likely have an amusing end.

Thanks for the photo of both animals. Cat definitely looks like he's contemplating caninicide if the dog touches one more toy!

Whoa! Almost broke Rule 1 there.

Which pic has the cat in it? I've looked, but I don't see the kitty.

O_o That must be interesting.

[MoonCat]

EPIC story. Except I feel sorry for the cat. If it wasn't feeling well, why the hell did the twat drag the poor cat to the store?

And, your dog is gorgeous!

Aha! Now I see it. Thanks!

Yeah, kitty looks pretty unhappy. "Keep back! That's mine, bitch!"

[BeenThereDoneThat]

Finn is gorgeous! I would love to give him a huge hug Love the kitty picture too...reminds me of my cat when just about any other animal comes near her, lol. (Which is why we're waiting until the inevitable happens before we get any other pets.)

To the original topic...stupid cat lady is stupid...and a mess now, too I do like how you at least momentarily scared her by merely standing up...

Kukla, as a woman of horses, has boarded her horses at multiple places around the RAINY EMERALD STARSCHMUCKS REI NORDSTROMS MACYS MICROSOFTIE WOO OH LOOKIT A NEEDLE THAT POINTS TO SPACE region, and was dead set against the "mastiff" because...

...well...

She had boarded her horse at a place where part of the deal was the dog on premises was a mastiff, and apparently drank water so he could literally fill your boots with drool. He was stealth incarnate - a pair of boots left unattended in the barn would be slobbered upon if you turned your back for thirty seconds.

The lab in Finn elongates the muzzle just enough that his natural droolpockets (the cheeks) are not quite as short as his daddy's, so he tends to have a much easier time when it comes to strings of drool coming off of his face. He's not a slobber hound, but he's definitely...

...moist.

That said, I'm sitting in the home office editing an ePub for a client that theoretically should be online in the Amazon store sometime after Christmas (hint: really, if large alligators suddenly find themselves host to radioactive slime and dubstep DJ dance parties, I'm getting in a large satellite and going to Mars. I don't CARE how low the o2 levels are) and getting my feet moisturized by dog drool.

He looks so cuddly! I just want to squish the big lad.
