My cousin would walk houseflies on a leash. He had long hair and would pull one, tie a loop on the end, catch a fly and put the loop over the fly’s head.
All the strips today have a fly theme, Dinette Set, Animal crackers and now Ten Cats (and probably a few I don’t read). Is today National Fly Day? Anyway, Oliver is sweet, so he just wants to play with it. It always grossed me out when our two eat the bugs they caught. Ick
Fitzroy LOVED chasing and eating “seed bugs” whose marking is supposed to indicate a bitter taste (on my patio they ate see that was out for wild birds and he found them yummy At least much cleaner than flies. and here is something different.
I like them fine outdoors (but still not too close to my chair if I’m reading outdoors). If I’m working outside they don’t disturb me (just fire ants, which I had to have expelled about a year ago).

Nothing like a practical demonstration to enhance your lecture…Hope Oliver finds his way home though.

What happened to the sale of the warehouse storyline? Did I miss how it ended?

I think oliver needs to have a little parachute on him at all times.

Oliver is doing a good job of following that fly, so he is!

Are the cats holding classes to raise money to save the warehouse?

Re: PoodleGroomer – would he walk the fly along with his shaggy dog?
