Today Lucida Sans was not in trouble, but she really thought she was

She's been really warming up lately! I mentioned how she just learned to play in the previous comic but now she's a play fiend (she robs Tammy of her play time and wants to play for literal hours)...It's nice because I don't think she got to be a kitten very much before I got her But Lucida still thinks any sudden shocked/alarmed voice at her is a Signal of Sin and she only has seconds to get away

Proof of her crime. I do not lie about how huge her eyes are

You should only write in present tense with extreme caution.

not because it's bad or anything but because if you do it even once you're going to be editing the bits where you shifted tenses out of your writing for the rest of your life

your cat comic is very good and i like it a lot :)

Thank you anon! I think this one is referring to the Tammy/Lucida Sans comic—I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It was a very quick and messy doodle (hence the terrible-ness of it) but they're so cute that they made my comic not terrible after all 😌

The peanut for a tamarind is making me laugh more than it should LOL I love it (I googled a tamarind and it looks almost like a peanut so its an appropriate emoji.. i must try one!! it looks tasty!!)

I definitely suggested it to my sister when we talked about Tammy's full name! She still is thinking about it though ... I am not sure when she will ever decide...

TAKE IT BACK!!! YOUR CATS COMIC IS WONDERFUL!! NOW PLEASE SHOW PICTURES OF THEM THANK YOU 💜

You're so right...how can any comic about my cats be terrible! 😌😌 and YES OF COURSE

The legend herself.. in mysterious shapes..

And the sweet Tammy!

Here is Tammy sitting like she's waiting at the bar for her catnip martini after a long hard day

And here is Lucida Sans channeling her inner Whack-A-Mole

Also her bee toy that literally fell into pieces the night i posted the comic about her, so now i have to go look for another bee for her

“Kill shelters” are the shelters you need to donate to.

“But shrimp!! Kill shelters are evil!!”

No, shut up, listen to me for a second.

“Kill shelter” is a colloquial term used primarily for Town/City (aka municipal) shelters that rely on incredibly limited government grant funding to operate.

These shelters, by the very nature of their existence, DO NOT HAVE the funds to operate like private rescues do.

On top of this, they’re also *legally required* to take in ANY animal that comes to them. Even if they’re full. Or they’ll lose all of their funding.

This is what leads them to needing to euthanize for space. Is euthanizing for space sad? Yes. But due to the current crisis, it’s also NECESSARY.

These shelters are constantly overfull. They’re STRUGGLING. They don’t have the funds to operate properly. And yet these municipal, government funded, struggling shelters are the same ones that are most likely to be providing care for owned animals in the community

Municipal (“kill”) shelters are the ones hosting low cost spay and neuter clinics. They’re the ones discounting vaccination appointments and microchipping. They’re the ones that have pet food banks so struggling pet owners can feed their pets that week.

These shelters are not evil. They’re doing the absolute best they can with the bare minimum funding they get.

These people are incredibly resourceful and care very deeply about the animals in their care. It breaks their heart every time they have to euthanize an animal that couldn’t get adopted.

These underfunded shelters need your money significantly more than that fancy private rescue you see on TikTok or instagram that has a beautiful facility and has never had to euthanize an animal ever.

Support your local shelters and they will give back to the community thousand fold.

Sincerely, an animal welfare student who’s tired of seeing the hardest working professionals shat on because of circumstances they can’t control.

i am about to create an au SO self indulgent. the target audience is 1 person and that person is me

[an-na-ko]

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

Friendly reminder that you should

Write that fic

Draw your OC

Redesign that blorbo

Plan that comic how you want

Create the content you want to see

Be cringe

Be free

The only thing that matters is you having fun! Not what others think!

I lost my dog on valentine's day, she was my childhood pup. I've had her from middle school to now. I lived in a dysfunctional house and it was awful. I made a promise to myself that I couldn't dissappear since I needed to be here for her. Eventually I moved her out with me and I hope i gave her the best retirement years but I miss her so much. I am sending love and support for you too. The comic really encapsulated how I felt about my pup. Truly thank you 💖

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, anon. She was there with you for your formative years and was your support in what sounds like a difficult home. I'm sure that her retirement years with you was filled with your love and she knows that and has felt it and returned it whole-heartedly, the way animal companions tend to do.

I heard a line from Andrew Garfield that he hopes his grief stays with him because it's just unexpressed love. And I think about that a lot, that grief is love without an anchor and that it makes me feel lost without her. But also this grief couldn't have existed without profound love, so grief is really just love with another name. And I hope it comforts you to think of grief in that way too, that you only feel this way because you love your dog and it hurts because you will always love her.

I wish you kindness and gentleness in your coming days, and self-forgiveness for whatever guilt or regrets you have. 🫂🫂

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat of 16 years a few weeks ago. He was a stray that gradually became OK with being a house cat, and he was so loved. I hadn't been able to cry for him (my meds make crying a near impossible thing) until I read your comic. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

(I hope you don't mind a masterpost of replies! I know pet loss is extremely difficult for a lot of people, and I didn't want to fill up people's dashes with each reply, but know that each message means so much to me. We all love in such profound ways and losing our little companions hurts to a degree that is immeasurable.)

For the anons above, thank you for such a heartfelt message! One of the things that helped me through the worst of my grief was seeing other people who talked about their pet loss too. It made me feel so much less alone, especially in thoughts that echoed mine, but it also helped me see things in perspectives I've never considered.

I posted this comic in hopes that someone out there who needed it would feel seen and understood, and that it would maybe help process their loss. So it really means a lot to me to see that my comic has helped, in whatever way it could. I'm so sorry that we all understand this feeling, but I hope you never feel alone in missing the little lives that mean so much to you.

For anon above, I can't imagine how difficult that is. Lyra was a surrender, but it was very obvious from how well-loved, affectionate, and well-looked-after she was that her previous family had loved her.

I hope you don't feel like you failed your girl; there are circumstances that no one can control no matter what. Cats (and most pets in general) have an amazing ability that, despite language barriers, seem to know how much you love them, just as easily as we know how much they love us even if they can't say it. Your girl knows you love her. I don't fully know her circumstances or yours, but I truly hope you find that closure. 🫂

I haven't met a lot of people with cats named Lyra! I hope it didn't bother you too much to read such a painful comic about a cat with the same name, haha. I hope your little Lyra is healthy and happy, and please give her a little kiss for me! 🤍

thank you anons for reading my comic despite the heavy content, for connecting with it the way you did, and for the kind words! 🫂 I truly wasn't sure if anyone would want to read such a painful, raw comic about loss, but these messages really brighten my day. I hope your days are bright as well.

[an-na-ko]

Thank you so much for the beautiful piece about Lyra that you made ❤️ it really touched my heart

awww anon, this is such a sweet and short message to receive 🥹 Thank you for reading it, even if the content is pretty difficult; I appreciate it so very much that you read my comic about my beloved Lyra. She was my little light and joy and I'm so glad to have shared her🤍
