Social Media and Cats

Editorial Cartoon: Social Media and Cats

And the Caption Contest Winner is – ME!! And all of you who agreed with me that cats getting attention on social media is the bane of existence for someone posting something they actually spent time on.

And the inspiration was this picture of our cats, playing on the ipad with their favorite app Games for Cats.

    Maybe I need a cat in my comics. Gotta work on that.

      It can’t hurt.

    Cat scratch media – there are apps for everything.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am waiting for the Back Scratch app.

    FIX !!!

    next time you hold a Caption Contest, Bearman, I demand the presence of United Nations Observers !

    😉

      They were here. Don’t you smell the incompetency?

        Hear, hear, Duncan, had I known it was a competition I would have tried harder…. You’ll be receiving a strongly worded letter Bearman. Hmm, by the way tried to ring you but your landline was disconnected 🙂

          Just make sure 911 can find me in case of an emergency.

    Well it just happens and it happens often. Cats steal the attention of most everything else. Well unless you don’t like cats.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

      Even then they grab your attention because you think they are going to steal your breath in your sleep.

    I can rarely pass up a video or a cool image of a cat. They’re so independent and sure of themselves.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      unless you are referring to Fraidy Cat

      1. Deb Avatar

        No, we can include Tom there….not after what I saw. Thanks for the link though. It was still cute to watch….Boo

        1. Bearman Avatar

          That was the wrong Fraidy Cat. There was a kids book with that name.

          1. Deb Avatar

            But that was the link you gave me…and it was fun to watch anyway. They haven’t made cartoons like that since I was a kid back in the….never mind, I’ve said enough.

          2. Bearman Avatar

            I’ll have to find the right one

    Congratulations on winning!!! Nice cats but can they type emails without spelling mistakes?

    1. Tony McGurk Avatar

      Although I am surprised that being your cats they don’t have green fur…

    2. Bearman Avatar

      nope…just like their dad they stumble with the spell correct. And we tried dying their fur green but got scratched up.

        Claws are the bane of cart owners. I remember taking our cat, when we had one many years ago, to the vet for vaccination. The nurse was busy with something else so he asked me to hold him. I was only wearing a t-shirt & after the vaccination the vet had to treat me. I went home with my arms covered in yellow brownish antiseptic stuff that wouldn’t wash off for days

        1. Tony Mcgurk Avatar

          Oh I was wearing jeans too, not only a t-shirt

        2. Friggin Loon Avatar

          Dear god Tony, the image in my head won’t go away!!!!!!! THANKS

          1. Tony McGurk Avatar

            You’re welcome…

        3. Tony Mcgurk Avatar

          Claws are also the bane of CAT owners. Cart owners aren’t the only ones who have to deal with them.
          I had a cart once & if you weren’t careful the claws would come out behind the wheels & tear you to shreds…

            You mean someone won something??

          2. Bearman Avatar

            Did you say half of that already?

          3. Friggin Loon Avatar

            No fisherman’s pants here Lynn!!!!!!

        4. Bearman Avatar

          Word of advice. If your cat has CLAWS do not let them play on your ipad.

    Ack! Oh wait that’s Bill the Cat.
    Okay, the point has always been FACT: The Internet is Nothing But Porn and Cats.
    Clearly you have proved this horrendous formula.

    I sad.

    Luckily, I have Bearman and other faves to keep that damned ‘truth’ from becoming so. Damn. Need to join the Republican caucus. Follow the line… No sex. No cats.
    Guess that leaves a certain James Bond flick out as well.
    OH, and Lurrrrved your cartoon my dear -grin-

    1. Lynn Avatar

      MIss R. I had totally forgotten about Bill the Cat from Bloom County! ~ and let’s don’t forget about his friend Opus the Penguin!! lol Seriously though, is there anything better than porn and cats? (just not in the same room) 🙂

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Thanks Rach!

        phew….had me worried for a second Lynn. Though in Thailand I bet you will find that.

  8. Sheila Deeth Avatar

    There’s an app for that? But would you ever catch a dog playing with an iPad–catch a dog playing catch with an iPad perhaps.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      no it would probably pee on the thing.

  9. Binky Avatar

    Congratulations on the fix!
    Lousy humans.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      If chocolate was the prize, you would have cheated too.

  10. nursemyra Avatar

    I didn’t know you had two ginger cats – I love gingers

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Two obese ones. We have an automatic feeder and the shits figured out how to put their claw up there to get more.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Only when we paint them for st pattys day

  11. 25BAR Avatar

    HAHAHAHAH! Yes!
    Ironic!

    I thought that was only true for *MY* crap, like my “friends” are hoping I’ll go away if they ignore me. Meanwhile they rave over my quicksnap photo of my bowl of ramen noodles with a little parsley on it.

    Here’s what I figure, Bearman. Once you hit something really super viral then all your stuff will be internet hot and all your friends who sent you that passive message to stop will suddenly be saying, “Oh Bearman,? Yeah I knew him before he was famous”

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Isn’t it funny that my real world friends will post for hours on facebook and comment and share crap i don’t care about their kids that they expect me to comment on and they can’t respond to my little drawings.

    Cats do love their genitals.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      For the ones that still have them.

  14. TonyDiGerolamo Avatar

    Yeah, that’s pretty much Reddit all over.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      At least someone has figured out what reddit likes.

  15. Walker Thornton Avatar

    Really! Apps for cats. I need some of those.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Just make sure your cats are declawed.

  16. Christina Avatar

    Our cats love the Friskies fish game app.

    1. Christina Avatar

      Oh wait! There was a cartoon too? 😉

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Gee thanks for noticing.

  17. Nate Fakes Avatar

    Cats are always a jewel of humor. Even a cat hissing cracks me up every time. Never gets old!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      What about a cat scratching your eyes out?

  18. Ahmnodt Heare Avatar

    Congrats for winning the contest! Well deserved!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank YOU for being astute enough to notice that it was well deserved

  19. The Good Greatsby Avatar

    It shouldn’t be surprising that cats have come to dominate the Internet when you consider how much a network of connected wires looks like a cat’s cradle. We should have known better.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Now I got that damn cats in the cradle song stuck in my head…thanks so much.

  20. Jenn Avatar

    This is such a good idea for a contest! And kudos to the winner of this!!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      He is the most gracious winner I have ever had.

  21. DadaHyena Avatar

    FIX! The winner was sleeping with the judge!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      There was no impropriety in the voting.
