Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 01, 2023

No more than three for the cat unless you want shredded arms.

Does the husband get a vote? Or is it going to be another case of the Cats vs the Dogs, with those still sitting on the couch getting squeezed out again?

Half the focus group thinks he’s sitting in her spot. The other half thinks he is the place to curl up.

Cats who accept bellyrubs are VERY rare. I’ve had one…

Is that the captainʻs cat?

Sounds like a win, win situation, here.

And divided on the while on a walk or litter box issue.

I though the hyphen was an em dash for a moment. I thought the focus group was dead.

Where do we stand on scratching the itchy ears?

When there’s nothing on tv . . .

My cats love their belly rubs, especially my male.

With some cats rubbing their bellies would be the equivalent of placing your hand in a running blender!!!

Blessed are the peace makers. …and I don’t mean the Colt 45.

I like belly rubs.

as usual you Rock Wiley

Dogs love cookies. Cookies wins, 3-1. Sorry, cat.

Whatever you do, for the love of God, DON’T give the cat a belly rub.

I have a cat that will accept belly rubs….till he won’t. Then the teeth sink in your forearm!

Whenit rains cats and dogs, everybody gets wet.

I’m not sure if Wiley gets paid based on the number of comments his strips generate, but if he does, anything about cats and dogs is gonna let him retire in style.

Darned if I’m going to give Marjorie Greene a belly rub.

Muriel, a sight for sore eyes…

4 new rescue kittens that all accept it at the moment, but I expect that will change. They make 11 from a high of 13. I have to stop finding them. Or rather, they need to stop finding me.

We should try the catnip thing on congress. I mean, it couldn’t hurt, right? There’s no way I’m trying the belly rub thing though.

My cat likes bacon and belly rubs!

Looks like a point of division to me. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like a belly rub and kick that hind leg in glee. But the vast supermajority of cats I’ve know will make a (literally) bloody mess of the hand that tries to rub their belly. The forearm as well.

They also don’t seem to know if they are coming or going.

Achilles likes belly rubs when he asks, but Monroe is too young, being just out of kittenhood.

How about pizza? We can all agree on pizza, right? I’ll have “Hawaiian” -- wait, what? no! stop! for the love of all… arrrrghghghllgllg…..

I have a female orange tabby who LOVES having me rub her tummy! She purrs, closes her eyes, and rolls onto her back just to enjoy the moment. Other times, she is a brat.
