The Inelegant Gardener, Happy Mouffetard (and some beans) has declared the 12th October LAPCPADPOUB day
This stands for “let’s all post cat photos and dire poetry on our blogs” day.
So I have.
Absolutely brilliant, Karen. A work of genius. Thanks for making me laugh!
I am so glad it made you laugh Victoria – and thanks for dropping by
Karen
Fantastic! Although I cried when the cats weren’t allowed in the house…
Arabella – I am sorry you cried – it was a very difficult for Mrs. Grumpy too – she does like cats – but is so allergic to them that it takes about 3 years for the sneezing to stop when a new cat is introduced to the house. She felt very mean.
Karen
Absolutely wonderful! Great story, wonderful photos, and a truly dire poem (in the nicest possible sense!).
Thank you for taking part in LAPCPADPOUB day!

Hi Happy M. Thank you for inventing LAPCPADPOUB day – I expect James AS is writhing in agony as we speak (although jolly nice of him to offer a prize). Thank you for the wonderful compliment about my dire poem – the hours of tweaking and editing that went into it – you would not believe (lol
)
Karen
I was wondering when the next comic would be issued!
It was well worth the wait
Naturally I have a leetle contribution for today…
Haha VP – I am sure your contribution is amazing – I will be over to check it out later. Glad you enjoyed the comic
Karen
That’s Fabulous – I so love your cartoons!
Hi Zoe – so glad you enjoyed the comic.
Thanks for visiting
Karen
Your comics are always good for a giggle or two and this one is no exception but, like the sock, I did cry a bit about the cats that were left in the cold. snif.
Your 2 girls Magenta and Riff Raff look gorgeous, I’m sure you miss them as cats bring such happiness and fun.
Your d*g looks vastly improved after that head transplant!
BTW my post is up too, don’t forget to bring a bucket!
Hi Yolanda – your comment made me laugh – but your post made me laugh even more!
My dog (obviously) preferred his head before the transplant. Although he is quite a cat-like dog – as when he was a puppy we had 4 cats – and he was number 5 in the pecking order – Magenta ruled the house.

Very funny comic Karen. I bet Merlin is thrilled with that picture – you could hang it up beside his bed.
Hi Easygardener – Merlin has been a bit quiet all day today – I think he may be a tinsy bit upset with me for trying to disguise him as a cat. But I might print in out and hang it in the loo
Thanks for visiting.
Karen
Sadly Whiskey went to join his step-siblings in kitty heaven earlier this year, but I have told Celi that she is now famous! She forgives you for not letting her in the house. After all, Shed Man did build them a luxary pen to stay in!
Do I buy Merlin dog or cat treats at Christmas?
As to the poem, very accurate. I admit it is the worst thing about cats. Weeding gloveless and finding something you would rather not have.
Hi Dobby – Yes they did have a rather wonderful pen – which given the state of our roof – they were probably drier than we were!
Dog treats please – Merlin is not best happy with me after this comic.
Karen
Such indignities are more than any dog should ever be expected to endure!
Hi James – What can I say!
Thanks for dropping in
Karen
Oh Karen, what a great comic- the best yet. And Merlin looks are much improved. I loved the shut out cats photo- they have such eloquent backs!!
Hi Linda – You are so right – there is nothing as eloquent as what a cat is saying with its back!
Thanks for visiting.
Karen
hee, hee – what a great post. I wish I had a cat so I could join in on the fun.
Hi Wicked Gardener – well if it happens again – you will have to catnap one
Glad you enjoyed it
Karen
Such cunning disguise!
I’m sure, if you hadn’t mentioned it, we would never have known your cat is a dog.
I like the poem. It seems accurate rather than sentimental.
(As I was writing these last two sentences, I heard strange noises in the kitchen. I ignored them at first, then went to investigate. A black cat, which has nothing to do with me, was tramping about on top of the cooker. Now I have stinging hands. (I clapped unnecessarily hard as I chased it away.))
Esther
P.S. I like the brackets in your comic. E.M.
Hi Esther – Oh – I shouldn’t of mentioned that Merlin was a dog if you thought it was a good disguise
Fancy that – a cat visiting you on Lapbaap – whatever day – you should of quickly photographed it
Thanks for visiting
Karen
Thanks for cheering me up on “Monday back to work after a week off “. Just what I needed.
And a very strange thing – I walked into the kitchen this evening and there was a black cat sitting on the washing machine…[my neighbour's new kitten and it left lots of mucky pawprints].
Perhaps there’s a black cat sub-culture we know nothing about…
My poor old pooch Minnie would have seen it off at speed when she was still around!
Kind regards,
Chris
Hi Chris – I got really confused there for a minute YOU had a visit from a black cat as WELL as Esther – ummmm spooky! Glad you had a good break – and that you found the comic cheerful
Thanks for dropping in.
Karen
That was hilarious. And just think–should you ever be in need of extra income (or the desire to lead a double life), you can always become a cartoonist.
–Kate
Hi Kate – thanks for visiting – so glad that you enjoyed it – and I will keep your suggestion in mind (Although I think I am a bit slow – so I would not have a big enough output
)
Karen
Holy @#$% that is a great poem. And yes, I love the cat head on the dog body.
{giggle} – Thanks Mr. McG Daughter
