My Cat Stars…in “Stickman”

Things have officially gotten weird. My cat (Cous Cous) is now starring in an episode of Mark Monlux’s webcomic The Return of Stickman!

Or rather Mark informs me that “your cat inspired this strip.”

Close enough, pal. Personally, I’d never consider suing you for libel. I’m not so sure, though, about Cous Cous.

Her Royal Highness

Worship me or I'll crush you!

Many thanks to everyone who saw my recent post about my cat Cous Cous and commented here or on Facebook about how beautiful/adorable/magnificent she is.

For those of you who expressed concern about her size. Well…

She’s not quite as heavy as she looks. She weighs 15 pounds (down two pounds from a couple of years ago) and she could probably stand to lose another pound. But according to our vet she isn’t actually obese.

She’s almost certainly part Maine Coon and those cats are huge. Bigger than some dogs. Smaller than your average tractor trailer.
