I’ve made a series of new cat comics, to celebrate the release of WOE, my Linney cat comics collection, out on July 2nd! Here is the first of this series, featuring a local politician.

So hard to pick our favorite part of the @nyhistory.bsky.social "Pets and the City" exhibit (the cat is under the table). What's yours? ("James and Sarah Tuttle" by Joseph H. Davis, 1836.)

Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat. He lays in the shelter next to a chrome bowl. His large head is hung low to the floor of the kennel, as he looks up with sad green eyes and very large, round cheeks. His ears are slightly down and his mouth looks small and almost like a frown. He protects his body with his round tail in a very sad, closed off manner.

Fishtopher, a brown and black striped tabby cat, now in his forever home. He stands up and leans against the couch but the lower half of his body is blocked by the camera person's leg. He looks slightly upward with large, sparkling green eyes. His ears are pointed up and forward and his mouth is almost in a wide smile. His pink nose is a much brighter pink now, and his large cheeks are still large, but smaller in comparison.

The NYC Cat Distribution Network is real! Check it out at www.catmuseumnyc.org/rescuers-cat.... We were inspired by everyone who responds when we get out the word about cats or rescuers in need, and we had this wild idea so we don't gatekeep information from those who need it in service of cats.

Fireworks suck! Here are some tips from cat behaviorist Mikel Delgado for keeping your cats safe and happy this 4th of July. www.instagram.com/p/C87GFSBpgyk/

1. Make sure your cats are inside. Even if they normally go out, the 4th is not a good day for them to roam. (con't)
