Have you already seen my blog post about “Posters for fans”?
Most readers now: “Huh, but Novil has never written a comic about killing kittens?!” Damn right. Or do you think I’m suicidal? I remember well what Gary Larson, the creator of The Far Side, wrote in his “The Complete Far Side” anthology:
„I remember the time I incurred the wrath of some Christian fundamentalists. (I know why, but I was at more risk from the cat lovers.”)
And let’s not forget German cartoonist Ralph Ruthe who now has to live incognito in Bhutan after publishing his infamous cat killer cartoon [in German] earlier this year!
I think it’s time to finally stand up against feline fundamentalism! Cartoonists must be allowed to make tasteless jokes about cats without having to fear for their life just as they’re allowed to make tasteless jokes about religion!
- Protester: There he is!!
- Sandra: Radical anti-abortion activists?
- Larisa: Nah.
- Protester: Death to infidels!
- Sandra: Radical converts?
- Larisa: Worse.
- Protester: Revenge for Mittens!
- Larisa: Radical cat lovers. They’re after a cartoonist who drew nasty comics about killing kittens.
- Sandra: That guy’s a goner.

@ hkmaly:
This is simply special pleading fallacy, used (among other things) fervently by creationists.
I think this guy now has to take three crucial steps:
1) Hit the brakes.
2) Shift into reverse.
3) Floor it.
@ hkmaly:
Creation didn’t pretend to conform to the laws of physics.

I remember that one. I guessed PETA or some other animal rights activist lobby got on their case and threatened a boycott unless some changes were made.
Anybody remember the cat scene from The Boondock Saints? Even though I love cats, I was besides myself with laughter.

I had a nightmare about a woman who threw a tantrum and chopped up her neighbors cat, but it was still alive and i couldn’t do anything about it.
Then i clicked on your link and remembered there were two cat skins on her wall as well.
I remember the movement in the dream was ridiculous, but it still tore at my heart.
@ Discussion of letting cats outdoors:
My issue with that isn’t so much the wildlife they kill… it’s more the neighbor’s gardens that they destroy as well as the risk to their own lives from cars and other wildlife.
Couple true, personal stories here: For background purposes, I was married for a few years and we had cats. My wife wanted them to be outdoor, while I wanted them to be in, but I conceded to her.
Story 1: One day while heading outside, as I neared the corner of my house, one of our cats came running around it, full tilt. I continued walking, being puzzled as to what its problem was. I finished going around the corner and stopped as I noticed a gray fox running from the direction the cat came. It stopped, turned and fled.
Story 2: Once, one of our cats never came back inside for the night like they all normally do. We took a quick look around outside for it, but had to turn in because it was too late and dark. The following day, as we searched the surrounding woods a bit better, we found a tuft of its fur. We never found anything else of it.
Aside from those, I grew up with my mother having several gardens that she took care of and our neighbors had cats. Quite often I remember hearing her complain about how the cats had dug up and killed some of her flowers again.
For those reasons, if ever I have cats again, they will not be outdoor cats.

… Even calling it “pro-life” is ludicrously misleading. Tends to be more “pro-foetus” in practice. Once it actually becomes living, your lot promptly cease to give a damn about it.
@ Mr_Nabby:
I say Tom started those fights more often that not. Chasing a mouse is one thing, but he actively antagonized and abused that poor bulldog and trespassed on his territory.
See also Chuck Jones’ work with Claude Cat, who was not above trying to kill a little puppy simply for barking.
