Cat's Cafe by Matt Tarpley for May 17, 2021

Yes, you do, Matt!!!! (quietly weeping)

My heart remembers.

Awwwwww.

Beautiful Matt.

This may be the best Cat Cafe strip I’ve seen.

Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of my 17 yo nephew loosing his battle with cancer. He gave so much, right up to the end. Thank you Matt.

This is sad but heartwarming

Tears, tears, nothing but tears.

Some love it, some don’t: Celine Dion My Heart Will Go On

Every night at sunset I see you, I hear you,

Knowing life and love will go on

Time and space and distance will not separate us,

Our life and love will go on.

…….

Here, there, however we fare,

We’re together and we will go on!

We’ll stay forever this way!

Someday we’ll be together and forever go on!

…….

Love can touch us one time and leave us never

Life and love will go on!

Know that I will love you and be with you forever,

Every day I will go on

…….

Here, there, however we fare,

We’re together and we will go on!

We’ll stay forever this way!

Someday we’ll be together and forever go on!

Most wholesome comic ever!

the sound of my heart breaking…

Name top 5 greatest comics of all time. Peanuts, Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Mutt and Jeff, and finally Cats cafe!!!!

Wait . . . why is he all alone in panel 7? . . . ummm. . . .uhhh. . . <I’m not crying>

Hold it in…

Aaaaaaaand, now I’m crying.

I miss my Mom!!!

God, how I miss, my late great – gran, she was great.

Man, this hit’s hard

Making people cry on Monday morning just isn’t fair.

https://www.catscafecomics.com/ Comment from Matt, “Last week my dad passed away. This comic is for him. I wouldn’t be where I am without him and I will always miss him. Love you, Dad.”

My heart goes out to you, Matt. Your comics make us happy, sometimes sad, but always thoughtful. Sincere condolences.

Ok got my cry in for today

I’m not crying I just cut onions.

When you are left with only memories, always hold tight to the best ones and let them anchor you.

{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}} and ♥ to you, Matt and to everyone else who is missing someone right now.

My deepest condolences, Matt.

What a moving strip. I look forward to reading Cats Cafe daily.

:‘) :’( getting teary eyed!!!!

(Sniff) This is really touching.

My condolences to you and your family Matt! This was a very touching tribute to your dad! Peace to you!

Take time to care for yourself Matt. We all love you here at Cats Cafe and wish you peace and happy memories of Dad.

Matt – this is such a beautiful strip today.

My condolences to you and your family. So sorry to hear about your dad’s passing.

Got me right in the feels. <3

My condolences, Matt. Beautiful tribute.

There’s a shadow of two cats in the second to last panel. Sniff!

（＞人＜；）O(∩_∩)O

Oh! Our deepest condolences to you & your family, Matt!!! He had to have been one really great guy, to raise a son as gifted as you are! Sic hoc transit gloria mundi.

Agreed. Heartwarming.

Thank you Matt for another, desperately needed, dose of humanity.

So sorry to hear about your Dad. This is a really beautiful strip.

There are Two shadows in the next to last panel, but “Dad” is gone!

Matt, this is a beautiful tribute to your dad. I’m so sorry for your loss.

How sweet the strip is and what wonderful, toucing out pouring to you Matt. Cherish the fond memories. Never let them go. They are so precioius and worth more than anything else in the world.

I’m so sorry, Matt.

Matt – I am so very sorry for your loss. Your tribute to him shows what a loving man he was and how much of him is still in you. God Bless.

Haha yup

ye

This is beautiful

so he died

so LOVABLE

I discovered this strip a day or two ago, fell in love with it, and now I am caught up!

This is so heartwarming

I look forward to reading Cats Cafe. It’s such a sweet and gentle and uplifting strip. I’m going to go ahead and buy your book.

Wheres the next strip?

So cute

I miss my dad. RIP 12/20/2020

I’m starting to worry that this may be the last strip. Matt hasn’t posted for a week, is something going on?

If there isn’t a post by May 31st, I’m going to start waving “The end is near” signs.

All these people clamoring for a new strip remind me of my creative writing prof who docked me a whole letter grade because I missed class the night of my dad’s funeral. His reason was that my dad’s funeral was earlier in the day and he saw no reason why I couldn’t have attended class that evening. The next assignment was to write a humorous essay. He couldn’t seem to understand why it was so hard for me to find something funny to write about a week after my dad died.

Sometimes people need longer than a minute.

What’s with the inactivity?

OT

Okay I’m waving the white flag.

Its has been so long till another comic! :C

Reminds me of my dad’s saying: "The purpose of life is to do as much good and as little harm as possible, and have fun while doing it.’

Bro you left ur flower

Dang.

It’s been a year plus a few days since my dad’s passing. This would have brought tears even if Dad was still here.

♥️

I’m not crying, YOU’RE CRYING!

:(
