A cat video
All in all it took them about a week to warm up to each other. Here's a video Yuko made of Rook ... tolerating the kitten.
Yuko has finally crossed over from cat-video watcher ... to cat-video maker. No more comics, just cat videos. Sorry guys. How the heck am I going to print cat videos in a book? I'm ruined.
That's all from us! We gotta get back to work (volume 2 is coming along nicely). See you next week!

Lmao! Oh... as a cat person
Comment by FoE (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 16:59Lmao! Oh... as a cat person who's introduced kitties to kittens, this comic really speaks the truth.
It must be kitten season
Comment by Faiga (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 16:59Rook is so much bigger than I thought! I'm glad that the both of them are getting along.
Surprisingly, my friends have acquired a stray kitten at well--golden colored and found near a dumpster. They have a black cat as well, Roderich, so we're hoping he takes to the new addition.

Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 00:49That is a great name for a cat! My gf's obese cat also resembled a small bear. Her family, however, simply called her Cat.
Also looks like my cat
Comment by Sonic (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 03:00We almost got him a bowtie and named him Mr. Tux, but ended up going with Oreo.
Oso was cool, he wasn't fat,
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 08/19/2011 - 23:09Oso was cool, he wasn't fat, but just a really big cat.... I don't know what cat managed to knock up Mishka (Oso's mom) but there were two BIG black cats (the other we names Salem... insert obvious reference here) and unfortunatly a dog we had killed the other three.. but Salem and Oso were the pride of the litter.
ACK! So cute!
Comment by Chance (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 17:04I keep putting words to them XD Idk why.
"Hay hay hay! Play with me! Play with me!"
"you'rE my super best friend! YOU'RE MY SUPERBESTASFdarthath"
"TAG YOU'RE IT!"
"Hay...you're suppose to come after me! TAG YOU'RE IT!"
I keep giggling stupidly.

Comment by ChristineA (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 17:51lol! Same here, especially at the end...
Rook: "My chair, mine."
Kitten: "But.. but... but..."
Rook: "My chair, mine. No kittens."
Kitten: "Awwww."
Maru-chan's influence.
Comment by Aube (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 17:05Just as long as she doesn't start asking if there are any empty boxes lying around there is still hope to keep her from the dark side. So looking forward to book 2! the J section of my library needs a lot of filling in.
Are my dogs secretly your cats in disguise?
Comment by MSOSB (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 17:36Seriously, though. This is exactly like seeing my new Westie puppy bugging my older one. She (the puppy) even has a bell on her collar.
This reminds me so much of
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 17:50This reminds me so much of my family's first cat. We had him for years and on time a family friend gave us some kittens she had rescued from a dumpster. He was such a good uncle that he would let all four of them play with his tail just like that! I sure do miss him.
Also, can't wait for Vol. 2. It will rock my world.
Video needs music
Comment by Kilimbo (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 17:52I suggest Honey Punch.
Making cat videos
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 18:09Curious. +1 cat may not be enough to bring Yuko to crazy cat lady status, but it is apparently enough to inspire a foray into the 7th art... Maybe there's hope that someday you guys will be able to adopt about 45 more.

Tuxedo cats are so

Career Issues
Comment by ohetoki (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 19:37You guys could write Stephen Harper and ask him how he manages a healthy balance between posting cat pictures and videos and running Canada. :D
Stephen Harper?
Comment by Sven (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 20:33Wait, he runs Canada properly? /rimshot
Stephen Harper
Comment by Ohetoki (not verified) Sat, 08/13/2011 - 12:17In before 'ruining Canada' corollary. I don't know his politics but he has very cute kit-tans.
A Zorz Kitty!
Comment by zorz (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 19:38Oh man, she's just like our own tuxedo cat. He is quite mischevious and fun…gives our other two cats plenty to be annoyed about.
He came complete with the same little Chirrup noise and loves to join in on conference calls with clients…
"So with this project we need to meow meow take that desi-meow-gn and look for wa-meowowow-ys to improve the customer experi-meow."
Our cat is named Zorz btw :)

They look very mischievous! :D

Kitty Wander
Comment by Jingseng (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 21:20are we going to have a kitten overhaul of the website? =) Will the maw ravens grow cat ears and whiskers?
Will rook...uh... grow an extra rook... and...become a king?
...ok i suck at chess.
Video..... Game?
Comment by Jingseng (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 21:29Looks like rook is pretty good at Tower-defense. You could probably make a Johnny Wander app-game featuring Rook and Kitten-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named in the TD genre.
or even something like.... Defense of the Sofa (DotS).
D: >
Comment by Sary (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 21:40If they were any cuter, Rook would explode into kittens.
Wow
Comment by Nicole (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 21:50Rook is a really beautiful cat. I was expecting him to look derpy, possibly because the comic does a good job of conveying the more derp aspects of his personality, but he looks so... regal. And pantherine. He reminds me of this burly brick of a (really dumb) black cat I used to have, who also looked like a tiny buff jaguar.
Huh
Comment by Number Seven (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 21:55Rook is huge! Jingle-bell kitten is so tiny... Reminds me of our cat, bucket, when she was small and not evil. She would ride around on your head. now she just sits there and gets cat hair on everything. and bites.
Same with my cats
Comment by maldar (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 22:56I really miss my cats being those ages, they are 6 months apart. Now when they get going you think one is about to kill the other, they you yell at them to stop and they are best buddies again. Always wished I saw whatever started the chase around the house. I'm sure it is my little girl cat bugging my big boy cat, she should know better. I really miss them, cannot wait until I get home to see them.
Big vs. Little
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 23:14I love how Rook's solution is, at one point, to SIT on the little kitty. Lol!
Wait, is that Wolf and her
Comment by Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 08/11/2011 - 23:27Wait, is that Wolf and her brood in the background? Rook and Laundry Kitten are very, very cute.
It's so cool to see these things outside of Yuko's amazing art. My sister and I have this dream of meeting the JW gang on the subway... Are we stalkers for that? Yes, I think so.
Rook is a real sweetheart to
Comment by lennan (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 00:01Rook is a real sweetheart to that kitten. It's pretty amazing how gentle he is. And she is so tiny. And adorable. XD
It's like
Comment by Julie G (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 00:56It's like I'm seeing my own big black cat's lost twin brother. There's even a tiny girl cat (a Siamese mix) who likes to bother my boy.
Crazy!
Nawwwww >3<=
Comment by Anii (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 01:49Have another comment about how adorable this is and how I have two cats who had a similar dynamic! ^^*
I died of squee and kittens
Comment by Silver C. (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 02:18Rook is so big. O_O What do you feed your cat?
Other than that, this video of them together is so cute! I'd probably get another cat for Eclair but I'm not in a financially good place to be a pet parent to a second cat. (^^)
It's not my fault!
Comment by Aido Fri, 08/12/2011 - 13:25D-don't blame me, he was that big when we got him! I'm about 80% sure he has a good bit of Maine Coon in him, which would explain his size. He has a lot of "Maine Coon Mix" markers -- super soft double-coat of fur, round face, calm demeanor, giant ears with tufts on top.
I've yet to see Main Coons
Comment by Silver C. (not verified) Sun, 08/14/2011 - 20:26I've yet to see Main Coons where I live. Living in the tropics is hell for any cat that isn't an Oriental. :/ I have to usually keep the aircon unit for an hour every 4 hrs of the day to ensure my Ragdoll doesn't get too hot. (T^T)
Rook is cutie-mongous! He's big enough to intimidate toy dogs!
new kitten
Comment by kethie (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 02:27Just what newly introduced cats are like but please take the bells off the collars. They are agony to a cats sensitive hearing and if they are ever separated from you by accident a belled cat cannot feed themselves whilst they find their way home. Very cute kitten though :-)
*watches video*
Comment by Satsy (not verified) Fri, 08/12/2011 - 03:48... Have you ever read "Chii's Sweet Home?" Your new kitty's like the hyperactive protagonist of that manga. Makes me miss having cats (specifically our family's cats, RIP), but I know I'm in no position to raise one myself right now.
