That makes me want to go stabby stabby on the people who left the kitty like that.

If you aren't going to take responsibility for your pet, DON'T GET ONE!

I almost ended up with a stray kitty... it took about 3 or 4 months of putting food out for it (It was starving, very obviously) before it would even come inside. It would barely let me pet her when I had food out, but otherwise wouldn't let anyone touch her. But she started coming in and sleeping on our sofa, so she was getting comfortable with us. Wasn't ready to be inside all day yet though without supervision, she was a definate outdoor cat (you should have seen the piles of mice on our doorstep). Sadly, one hot summer day my wife and I left for work, and let her out. When my wife got home, she found the cat by the side of the road, struck by a car (and dead). It was very sad. As my wife put it, "She finally let me pet her" as she cried.

Anyways. now that I have myself all worked up... sorry we can't take one Greg, unless you can figure a way of smuggling it onto a plane and through customs.

Other than the moving around, my husband and I have had so much fun reading your comics. They have been so similar to us. We just moved from Rocklin to Roseville 2 years ago and have 5 of our own kitties.
We can't take another but my parents who live in Citrus Heights just lost their 9 year old kitty to failing health. They have her 7 year old kitten that is very calm and a little shy. Either of your girl kitties sound like a perfect companion for my parents cat. If you send me pictures I'll ask my mother if she is interested. My parents have a large 4 bed home that is very clean!

Ps: I'm at their house every weekend so I can provide plenty of snooping pictures!

I'll post some pictures tonight - Shera sounds like she'd be a PERFECT fit for them since she's an incredibly laid-back cat.

Shera is a total companion cat. She just wants to sit in your lap and be hug. (She actually hugs.) She's also gorgeous. I'm going to miss all of my kitties, but I have to imagine that they are fairly stressed with the situation too.

I completely understand. I couldn't give up any of my 5 even though they get under my feet and in my knitting! Oh, and thanks for that pixel mario. My husband is asking for one now!

You might want to check some of your ads. There is a Doppler 12 and another with a wolf that says """-slap. Both are a suggestive.

I miss my kitties so much and now I wish I lived in Cali to cuddle one of yours.... both of mine (that I claimed as mine from my families many cats) were given to a shelter with out my notice by my grandmother who I have not talked to since the incident 6 months ago. I've been moving a lot and my cats were staying at my grandparents. Both were kept outdoors since she refused to bring them inside (both were originally indoor/outdoor with the use of a doggy door). And my poor baby girl Tresy only had three legs since we had to have one amputated when she was kitten. And my boy Sammy was blind in one eye (born that way). I miss them so much. She just decided that since I hadn't picked them up the day I had moved in that I didn't want them anymore. And a couple weeks later after all unpacking had been taken care of and it was time to take them home I find them not there... it broke my heart and I miss them so very much. And now I'm crying.... great. I hope you find a great home for yours, I really do. I just wish I could have found out what happened to my little ones. I hope they got a good home. But I'm scared and doubtful since both had something "wrong" with them. Although you wouldn't know it from how they acted.

Btw those aren't adds those are signatures

Shera is freaking awesome. If I were to get a cat, I'd want Shera or a Shera clone. I'd love to take George and Vash, too. They always seemed so cool. Then again, it's been a while since I've seen them, and they were still in their big kitten phase.

Kali I feel sorry for, but she was never out and about much. She still seemed so scared of everything and terribly skittish. Has she loosened up some? I remember driving her to Lockhart from the airport...

My tabby loves the sitting on my lap and laying on me. I'm pretty sure it's primarily because we're close to their ideal body temperature of 108°F (42 2/11°C). Or maybe in my own particular case, I'm the only one that actually pulls out the burrs and insect remains that stick to them.

I'm not sure what to make of him biting me though. Although I'm afraid to see if I don't reflect back in a mirror or if I start to sparkle. Actually, if I do start to sparkle, please stake me immediately.

C'mon, amp. You're killing me here.

Probably should just run a stake through you for good measure.

Both of my cats came from stray liters and excel at being a pain in my ass (one is a wrecking ball and the other doesn't shut up). Hope the cats find another good home, Greg.

I'd love to take one of the quiet ones. Problem is, the place I'm at doesn't allow pets without a deposit (which is 2/3 of a month's rent PER pet), and I can't afford it.
Makes me wonder why I live in a place I wouldn't keep an animal...

if you could ship one of'em to Brazil, it would be great =P

Hahaha, jut kidding... but i'd love to have one... love cats!

The clit-slap one is my sig. It's an inside joke. The Doppler one is Greg's sig. The forums aren't held to the same standards as the front page.

Ok I was guilty of this and I apologize but I'm sure Greg and Liz would rather hear who CAN take a kitty and not who CAN"T. Also IMO (I'm all about some caps this morning) I don't think you are spinning this correctly Greg, come on where is your marketing savvy? You need to think about who you are trying to "sell" your product too.

"Be the envy of everyone in your neighborhood own a genuine kitty from famous webcomic creator Greg Dean of Real Life Comics. Actually touched by the man himself so come on all you fan boys and girls this could be your claim to fame"

"WTS Epic Kitty x 1 pst for details"

"Real Life Kitty action figure comes with chain mail to scale +2 Agi, +3 Clawing"

"All alone? no girlfriend no job? spend your days trolling and flaming on forums? Then you need a kitty! guaranteed to show you less disdain then most of the world" ok maybe that one wouldn't work, but you get the picture. Spin it Greg spin it!
