Dont you ever get tired of using the catbox?
Please take me off your email list. Thanks
Last one there is an alley cat !!
But hey, what can I say,it happens.
a bit drastic, for urban developement…
Humans are pretty good pets, but they make such a mess.
…thought you meant 4th of july like fireworks…
what life is this for you?
dont look so glum…they say it’s better thr second time around!
“I knew when I say your pretty face on your Craigslist post that you were this cat’s meow!”
i guess this means no more cat and mouse games…
Black Cat: I’d die for you.
White Cat: How many times?
Good luck battling the big and silly Health Care Bureaucracy.
You’re so mewsical.
“WOW!! What did THEY eat????????”
It looks like the good life is about to end what do you say we got out with a BANG.
Good luck today cartoonist!
“Man,I would hate to be in those mouse holes with their Wind Problems.”
Once you have gone through this five or six lives, you get pretty used to it.
I told you humans are stupid!
If humans slept more, this wouldn’t happen.
“Meow that’s one big explosion!”
“And that’s what we do to mice where I come from.”
“Gotta get that Boom Boom Meow, that Boom Boom Meow.”
So, how many lives did you say you had left?
My luck, when we jump, I’ll land on my feet!
Double dare ya to jump!
Who stole my cheese?
Do you comprehend the quantity of mice out there?
“This kind of reminds me of that show, Life Without People!”
They’re awfully careless with their
one life.
As long as I can find my food dish and litter box!!!
Well, we tried as hard as we could to domesticate them.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Thumbs equal trouble”…I’ve said it a thousand times…
“30° east” you said…”fire for effect” you said!
You know, I think that was Slim Pickens.
“I thought we animals were supposed to sense these disasters ahead of time.”
” … and one for you and one for me.”
“Never say never.”
“Maybe it’s a new version of Sink My Battleship.”
“Pack your bags. We’re going to Disneyland.”
“Somehow the dogs are to blame…”
“That one is Hiroshima… and the other one is Nagasaki…”
“Meow meow, meow… HOLY CRAP!”
“Somehow I’ll get blamed for this.”
“Its funny how things work…when I was just a kitten this was all a field, and now its going to be a field again.”
I think we should Google it.
Drats, I had just planted catnip over there!
I told Sparks over and over not to smoke near the litter box!
Thank goodness we have been eating that 9-Lives cat food.
RUNNN, I’m on my 8th life!
no there not trees and you can’t climb them

I’m tellin ya Garfield, this world is going to the dogs.
You can call me a pussy all you want, it don’t bother me.
Hurry, lets cat-a-pult to saftey. (I know , very corny)
I hope they play “Cat Scratch Feaver” at my funeral.
Are the dogs ready?
Damn! this is really gonna ruin my plans of laying around and doing nothing all day
I wonder if we’ll be able to clean up THIS mess with “Fast Clumping Action.”
“…and they say WE have an attitude….”
I guess it’s just us and Cher.
1) Mine’s bigger.
2) They must be in heat.
Snap out of it snowball, I knew i shouldn’t of gave you that catnip!
What a catastrophe!
There goes the neighborhood.
So, what’s your sign?
We are about to see the world’s latgest litterbox.
Duck and cover, just how old are you?
Success! Soon we will take over The World!
we never should have moved to illinois
“Just like I promised you Silvya, the perfect honeymoon spot. A beautiful view, and all the fat juicy rats we can eat!”
Well that’s not good, now let’s go take a nap.
And you didn’t think a mixed race couple like us could ever rule the world.
“Charred rat – time to eat”
Hmmm, I wonder how many of my nine lives nuclear war eats up?
I’ve always loved being a cat, but now I wish I’d been born a roach!
I have a feeling we’re gonna be coughing up more than hairballs now.
Well, at least our mortal enemies Bandit and Rover will bite the dust too!
Ya know what that reminds me of Tom? This cartoon caption contest I used to do….up in smoke.
I wonder if those bombs were droppped on the homes of the few remianing providers of cartoon captions that were actually funny. They are a dying breed anyway.
And remember wehen you said we’ll blow them away…..well I guess we’re not on the same page as far as sense of humor is concerned
Hi, I’m Mr. Cutive, you must be Mr. Ress.
No need for formalities here. They are more familiar with our first names. Ex, call me Con G.
Out there must be Jud, watching us. See those piercing eyes?
Don’t get the wrong idea, I am a dog. But, little did they knew, it’s run by cats and dogs.
Time’s up!
Don’t fret too much. It’s just the changing of the guards.
You must be the new kid in town. Just want you to know I’m still around.
Believe it, the tide is turning.
I think I just heard a mouse run up the clock. Dibs on the tail.
Hey Sam, I’m on my last life…can I borrow one of yours?
I told you catnip had other uses.
I bet the dog did it.
ugghh, this is really going to ruin my plans of laying around and doing nothing today
i guess we can pretty much poop wherever we want now
Apocalypse Meow.
You heard me tell Odie not to light a match before we left Garfields’ right?
You went ahead and signed up with the Micheal Jackson/Pepsi crew for the new Meow Mix commercial, didn’t you?
i love the smell of fresh cat nip in the morning
i hope that was the dog shelter
Wow, the senate and the house. That healthcare thing must have gotten really nasty.
Oh this WOULD happen just three days after I get the lead part in CATS.
Those are the tallest trees I’ve ever seen!
‘Want to spend your whole life on a condo windowsill Tracy? Come on, let the night air stir your fur – spend tonight on the tiles with me. You know it makes sense.’
‘Its now or never Fifi. That’s TWO nuclear bombs. Put it this way, the earthy is going to move anyway.’
‘Put it this way Fifi. That’s TWO nuclear bombs. So its now or never for what you promised me, and the earth is going to move anyway.’
I hope there’s someone left to scratch my stomach.
Ya see those two enormous trees beyond the city……that is the gate to cat heaven.
“Well, that’s what they get for trying to herd cats!”
“You’d think we’d be a little more startled by this.”
I hope those things didn’t destroy the Fancy Feast factory.
The saying should go, “When the cats are away the HUMANS will play.”
Relationships that start under extreme circumstances seldom work out.
“That should get us in Guinness for the largest hairballs coughed up.”
You were right, my friend. We should have intervened.
It always looks better from this side.
Oh S%#@!
So, this “Cheshire” guy you were telling me about…..when do I get to meet him?
“From up here all the people look like cockroaches…No wait, those are cockroaches.”
We never needed them anyway.
out there, is a car tire with your name on it.
How long do you think it will take them to figure out it was us?
“Just think, Maurice, they flipped out when I scratched up the sofa!”
“You know this wouldn’t have happened if they took more naps.”
“Do you still have that cat nip stashed? I think we might need it.”
” Okay, maybe you were right. Being domesticated has its benefits!”
” I don’t know what they are. I have a feeling that going to the vet is no longer an issue, though.”
now who is going to clean out our litter box
Ok, now I AM the last male cat on earth. Feeling frisky darling?
Think we’ve got time to scratch up that new couch?
That puts the ow in meow
Cat one: Its not you, it’s me..
