MeowTown — a Cat Comic by Tim Schreiber

Cuteness Aggression

A three-panel comic about misjudging a sleeping cat. Panel one: A wide-eyed person in a green shirt sees Tater Tot (a buff tabby cat) napping and says, 'He's so cute! I just have to pick him up!' Panel two: A green, white, and buff blur of thrashing limbs, claws, and red scratch marks — the attempt going catastrophically wrong. Panel three: The person's headless body stands holding their own bloody, severed head. The joke: the gap between how cats look and how they react to being picked up.
