Newlyweds Cathy and Irving navigate the treacherous waters of couple-hood. From pampered pets to prying parents, they’ve got a lot to learn! Wedding or not, it’s still all about Cathy - she personifies the young career woman and her typical daily obstacles. Ice cream, panic attacks, stress and love are all in a day’s work. We read, we identify, we laugh. Who could ask for more?
Cathy is the Everywoman. She deals with diets, self-esteem, in-laws, and letting her husband know that she is the boss. Everyone can identify with her shopping, bills, taxes, planning for the future and coping with her husband’s incessant computer golf games. Whether you are a newlywed, single, or have been married for decades, all will enjoy the daily predicaments of Cathy and Irving.

Time must move really fast when you’re a nut job. But I am amazed that Cathy and Irving had a conversation until 8:00-something. I wonder how dad avoids being a nut job.
Yawn. 4:00 a.m. Drives me nuts not to be sleeping at this hour on my night off.

He doesn’t have the genetic makeup.
Cathy inherited her nuttiness from her mother, you know.
Don’t know where Irving got his.
But I pity their unborn child in the final strip.
Sleep well, Aaron.
Good morning, Drs. Billy and KFG, Lightenup, Legaleagle, GsMom, and the rest of the “Cathy” nuts.

And Cathy’s mom has that lovely apron on, of course. Really, I don’t know why she expects Cathy to be any different than usual. I know I don’t.
Good morning, Aaron! I hope you were able to get back to sleep.
Good morning, Susan!
Hello to the rest of the crew who are either sleeping in or having busy Saturdays…
I took Jr’s Girl Scout troop to see a high school robotics competition…it was fun and hopefully some of the girls will take an interest to participate in one soon.
Have a great Saturday!

I sometimes wonder how Cathy’s parents got together, and stayed together all these years.
Then I think back a few years in my own life . . . ! We’re all different.

Obviously the nut job gene flowed downhill, not sideways to dad. My paternal grandad had selective hearing, though granma wasn’t all that bad. She obsessed about our family ancestry which she took on when she and granpa retired from the farm. And she had mad baking skills.
lightenup yeah my bud did get back to sleep. He was up from around 3:00 to about 5:00, then slept in until 10:00. It’s hard to relax all the way when he sees most people at their worst in any given day. Getting used to all that after 3 months off takes a bit of doing. He’s okay. We got a thunderstorm rollng in so it’s time to distract LMB until it passes.

I really am perplexed about Cathy’s mother…she is probably in her fifties and yet looks in her 70’s with dumpy clothes and that hideous apron all the time. I am in my 50’s and have never worn an apron!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Apparently, the idea of a shaved head on Irving didn’t appeal to Cathy’s mom either. OMG!!! Hell must have just frozen over because I can’t say as I blame either one on this one!!!!! What on earth was he THINKING?!?!?
HI, AARON, DR. BILLY & LMB!!!!!
Hope LMB made it through the thunderstorm okay. My dog crawls under or behind anything she can find if she thinks it’ll keep her “safe” from what’s going on outside during times like that! If only we could make our beloved, 4-legged, furry little “children” understand that there’s really nothing to fear while that’s all going on as long as they have us beside them . . . [sigh]

I’m just sitting here typing, but I’ve had nice warm cuddles from both my furry boys – they like to come and sit on my chest while I work!
But they’ve both gone to examine their dishes now, so it must be dinner time.

@GretchensMom
Good afternoon Gretchens Mom, lightenup and the rest of the Cathy nuts.

In my humble opinion, the “nutjob-ness” runs through the WHOLE family—Cathy, Mom, and (at times) Irving. Plenty to go around, I suppose. (Not sure how Dad escaped, though.)
Hope you’re all having a nice weekend.

Hi Cathyites!! Irving is enough to make anyone “nuts.”
Billy — My biggest furriest cat, Panda has a hard time with thunderstorms, slinking around with his tail between his legs, looking for a place to hide under. It never occurs to him to head for the basement, nope, he is upstairs cowering between my feet. He cannot be comforted, as he is still a little feral and will not let anyone pick him up or hold him on their lap. (I mean he did live in the “wild” for about 10 days after he was born, but still freaks over thunderstorms — go figure.)
