Here’s a cat cartoon from 1996. I’m sorry I missed posting yesterday, but I was driving. I hope you will excuse me: the purpose of my trip is to be at the print shop when the first A&J tee shirts start rolling off the heater this afternoon. There’s a lot happening right now! I’ll tell you a lot more about it all very soon.

Thanks for the update. You will need to explain the heater at some future date. Keep on driving.
I haven’t figured out if our cats are lazy because they present us with our socks and not mice or if they are such a deterrent that there are no mice in the house. I tell my wife the latter, but I think the former is true.
Can’t wait for the t-shirts. Shoot a picture and let us see!

“The Cat Takes the Mouse”:
Trying to unmouse a cat is a good way to get two easily infected puncture wounds, from the cat’s upper canines.
The proper term for dogs, foxes, jackals, wolves, Fido, and other members of the dog family is canids, not canines. Canidae is the official family name. I will now teach all 3 terms to speelczech.

The heater is the ink setting mechanism on tee shirt printing mschine. These machines are huge, like giant mechanical octopus unless J J is using another method.
Mark, Sand look under Workhorse Products website for an example.
Nonnie Mouse, I’m not sure yet if I’m voting for Freddie and the Biped. I’ve been voting for Bill the Cat and Opus, so now I have to decide who to go with this time.
Old Bear, the way I learned it was:
30 days have September,
April, June, and November;
All the rest have 31
Except Granma,
And she rides a bicycle!

T-shirts? T-shirts!! YAY!!
Steve, maybe they just like them since they have your scent. We had a cat that would raid the laundry if Loon was out if town. Panties where the favoritem
That’s certainly my favorite when I raid a laundry room.
Survived my trip. Weather was sucky. Think I went IFR for a few miles on one stretch of highway. At least it should be cleared out tonight for my return to base.
Trapper Jean, there’s also a short version of that rhyme:
Thirty days hath September,
April, June and the traffic offender.
True that, I supported Bill the Cat and Opus for years, before that Pogo. Who was Pogo’s running mate for $2,000 and a chance at the jackpot?
Somewhere I still have a Pat Paulsen for President button. Last time around I printed a sign that said Obi-Wan Kenobi – Our Only Hope. Of course, for Florida governor I’m sticking with Re-elect Skink!
GR6, you just came off as the apartment complex dirty old man. 😉 Damn, almost inserted an emoji.
Ruth Anne, in 2004 I had a small batch of bumper stickers printed;
Jack Ryan – Thomas Clancy ’04
Loon: Our cats figured out how to open the bathroom door in the basement and open the door to where the clothes end up from the laundry shoot. Came home one day to her sports bra, panties, shirt and shorts strewn out in the hallway leading to our bedroom. I was half tempted to lay in the bed till she got home, but then she might have wondered what I was doing wearing her sports bra….
Steve, TMI
Ruth-Anne, I’m with you on Skink. But he’s too smart to take the job, having already walked out on Florida’s governorship. Skink and Lazarus Long would be the perfect ticket. Anything happens to Skink and you get an immortal as President.

[tried two different ways to include a link. Google Mike Rowe and “represent” if you want the link]
For those of you supporting Freddy & the Biped (Mike Rowe) there is a T-Shirt campaign that is using proceeds to fund MikeRoweWorks foundation scholarships. I bought a sport hoodie, and a T-shirt for my wife. Still waiting with pent-up demand for an A&J shirt…

Woo hoo!
Without looking it up, I’ve always assumed that coyote is a Spanish word that came here by way of Mexico. Pronunciation is ki-o-tay I think. Accent on the middle syllable — the o.
Coyote is spelt just right for its Spanish pronunciation, 4th at this site:

My Luddie was named Max, and he was quite the mouser.
I lost count of the severed mouse heads that I found on the back steps; they were his way of showing that he was contributing to the family.
When he wasn’t hungry, he brought the entire (dead) mouse to the back door, knocked with both front paws until I opened it, and waited for me to praise and thank him.
Once praised and thanked, he proudly sauntered off to an undiscoverable location, presumably to engage in a thorough cleaning.
Hmmmm, I just found this on the internet.
