Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for March 20, 2020

Irving, I hear the golf course calling

The main difference is that your happy. Asking him to get specific is the first step towards a spiral that will lead back to the ice cream and bathroom scale loathing. Glow in your victory and make up your own compliments. It’s way easier on all concerned.

Cathy is someone who always snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Danger, Will Robinson, Danger

The proper answer to “You look great” is “Thank you!” (eye roll)

Hello Cathy friends! Happy Friday! An update on Peaches: I took her in early this morning for the vet to send a camera to her stomach, and sure enough, there were foreign items in there. Fortunately they could grab it, which was a piece of ribbon and a bunch of shredded plastic (or seemed like it to the vet). She is home and a little loopy (hahaha!) and really, really happy, purring constantly. So it was a happy ending (although expensive) and we are really enjoying that she is feeling much better and her issue is resolved! :-) Have a great day, all!

Irving is definitely in a no-win situation now. I agree with all of the above comments.

Thanks for the update lightenup. Really happy to hear Peaches came out of it just fine. I think I can hear her purring from here.

Yup—a simple “Thank you” would’ve been just fine here. Oops—almost forgot: this is our favorite nut-job Cathy we’re talking about … ha.

HI, MOM. Happy (just past) Friday, Clan.

Run or hide. That is one of many things a boyfriend or husband does not go there in this area.

Geez, Cathy…leave it alone…say “thanks” and go have a nice dinner or something.
