    Shoelace is a loose cannon of cayoooote and gravitomizorizers! Shoolace scoffs at your rules and your Newtonian leanings!

    Your comics are adorable! And surprisingly enough, this comic is based on reality. My cat likes to keep doing the same old mischief no matter how many times I scold her for it, too! I think they know they're not supposed to, but they like breaking the rules just for the sake of breaking the rules.

    This comic makes me love my life.

    My friends all recommended it because they felt it matched my life perfectly, except my Shoelace is named 'Gidgit', hehe

    Thank you for always being so adorable!

    OH MY GOODNESS! Someone else knows my pain!!!!!!!!!! I came home from vacation and my kitty was clinging to the darn ceiling. Had to get a darned ladder to unhook her. Her claw had gotten caught in the ceiling, how I DO NOT KNOW! But no one would believe me. She climbs up the chimney too. Shoelace and my kitty would be grand friends. They could hang out on the roof. U_U

    Fun story! My parents were housing hunting after they got married a few decades ago. When they went into the basement of one house, my mom saw a cat and started calling it and trying to get it to come to her. Instead, it raced up a pipe and through some duct work. My mom was like "what the heck?" and my dad responded "Honey, don't freak, but.... that was a large rat." My mom proceeded to immediately claw her way over my father and raced out of that house ASAP. Yep, fun story. :)

    @ Li I'm glad my cats have not figured this out - it's bad enough that they seem to ooze in and out of rooms that are off-limits for them!

    My cat does something like that, except instead of walking on the ceiling, he goes in the ceiling, since there is a tile missing and a convenient bookshelf he uses to get into that little space between the basement ceiling and the first floor. We can hear him crunching around on the tiles when we watch TV in the basement.

    But Shoelace doesn't know the laws of thermodynamics. And therefore they do not apply. u_u

    Hi Li, I think you and Jordan are my boyfriend and I a few years in the future. The similarities were very clear, then it was sealed when you said Jordan doesn't like watermelon. Hi from your past self! That is all XD.

    YOU ARE ALL KINDS OF AWESOME! One day I will get a cat so that we may reenact all your comics. In fact, I will one up you and put real paper eyebrows on him...or her...it? the cat!

    Jimmy has a point there. I bet there are few comics that get that much comments (and have such a low percantage of insults in them) like this one.
    Why?
    Because nobody can NOT post about the joy you're giving to all of us.

    what does this have to do with thermo dynamics? isnt that just
    you can not convert all heat energy/all gained heat energy into motion
    heat flows from hot temperatures to cold temperatures
    and something else

    or also phrased as

    you cant win
    you cant break even unless its REALLY cold
    it never gets that cold

    ?

    what does thermodynamics have to do with sticking to the ceiling?

    Just as I was reading this, my cat, Poppy, starts making kissing noises and twitching in her sleep. She is an angel when she is asleep, awake, an evil genius. When she's sleepy she just licks your toes until you lie down so she can lick the rest of you. She falls asleep, pinning you down, then you just need to start from the top of this comment.

    Cats just have a much more friendly relationship with gravity,
    It lets them survive falls at terminal velocity, land on their feet,
    and every so often, walk on the ceiling.
