Somebody probably already pointed that out, but most cats can't actually be carried like that, because their body is very flexible (and not stiff as a dog's) ; so if one carries a cat this way without putting a hand under the rear paws to maintain the cat, said cat will likely slip through the arms and fall on the floor. Sorry, cat nerd here and thinking about that every time I see someone holding Hercules this way >.<

mrrp is exActly what a Maine Coon would say!

Yeah I don't know why anyone would still be trying tomato juice now that we have something simple and cheap and available that actually works.

OldGoat

It would appear Yay and I are in agreement WRT the efficacy of tomato juice for de-skunking.

Jeffrey Nonken

I would never carry a cat like that, so I wouldn't know.

Polydactyl cats are awesome. Once upon a time I'd had to euthanize my cat and decided that, while I wanted another, I wasn't in a hurry. I decided to visit the local pound every Saturday and adopt the next "mitten kitten" I saw. I knew they came through once in a while, but figured the probability was low enough that it would take a while. So of course one showed up within two weeks. I was second in line for adoption, but the first people never showed, so less than a month later we were blessed by a polydactyl tortoiseshell I named Melissa. ...No particular reason for the name. Just seemed to fit.

2nd panel blep.

Does make me wonder if the various bodies in the Yay group consciousness have different quirks - and if this one is a little tsundere.

Bruce Steinberg

Yay’s eyes are so sad. 😿

My cat loves to look up at me when I'm holding her, just like Hercules is doing to Yay in the last panel.

I recently watched Kiki's Delivery Service for the first time in a long while and so I just now realized Elliot shares some characteristics with the hulking muscular inarticulate baker in that movie. No wonder that he was picturing Brun as Kiki way back when she first appeared at the bakery.

Elliot's quads for dayz

Herc strikes me as one of those cats that's inexplicably chill with whatever bullshit you throw their way. Yay and Melon could dress him up in all kinds of outfits and he'd just be like "....kay."

Maine Coons for the win! Check the beast of mine: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-mCyKrAf7G/?igshid=kpyhug0jy1ij

I wonder where Melon got to... rolling in Elliot’s laundry hamper?

Andrew

Sounds a bit like Knight Rider, but better :)

Mark

So close!

Also the Hemingway cats, though they may have come from Boston originally.

So, Yaylliot had found their adopted son. Everything is going as foreseen.

Used to have a Main Coon mix years ago. When he got hungry during the night, he woke me up by staring at me. Always nice to wake up early in the morning with that giant ginger head centimeters from my face, looking veeerrry hungry!

big boi for a big boy

Part Maine Coon, part koala, part pterodactyl?

I'm so glad you've made Elliot a main character, he is the greatest <3

an adequat cat

Miyaa

It’s clear in the last frame that Hercules knows.

SpookyPenguin

See?! She was thinking of dinner!

Ack

And he's perfectly fine with being carried out the door.

Professor Harmless

And they would have gotten away with it to except for those meddling kids.

Nicolas Demers

it's the only kind of visitation they know

I feel like it is closer to sudden realization that they are still holding him.

Joseph Bonnar

Sounds gorgeous, George. :)

Joseph Bonnar

I think more likely trying to roll in them. (I don't see her as being criminally inclined. I could be wrong, I believed Corpse Witch was just misunderstood for the LONGEST time.)

Joseph Bonnar

Damn straight, Joseph. (By the way, I LOVE your name!)

Joseph Bonnar

The real shame is that they didn't get away with it!

Joseph Bonnar

This is proof: CATS ship with everything and everyone. Change my mind.

Andrei Safta

Don't get me wrong he's a darling, but weren't Maine Coons supposed to look like Ron Perlman? :P

Fart Captor

Attempted fluffnapping! For SHAME

For anyone who likes Maine Coons, here are photos of our late Maine Coon, Grendel: https://flickr.com/photos/jnl/albums/736135

I have friends who named their Maine Coon Brenda Starr.

z

Heh, heh, heh...I now so want to see the buddy comedy movie of these two together. A genuine Nice Man, a NOT-nice AI cluster, and the cat that helps them all out.

Andrew

Yes, but you must grant Yay unannounced visitation rights.

Chas Simmons

The extra toes are a strain that has been in Massachusetts for centuries. "Boat people" -- Tories who supported the legitimate government of King George III who had to flee from Boston -- one of their houses is across the street from mine -- took many such cats to Nova Costa. But there are still some such cats here in Boston. I've seen them.
