Winter is here, and Mittens couldn’t feel more agitated. His best friend Stumpy, an indoor-outdoor cat, isn’t allowed to venture outdoors when it’s too cold, so he can’t come over. Although Mom assures Mitty this is only for Stumpy’s safety, he can’t hold back his frustration. Spring can’t come quickly enough!
On top of that stress, add Mom’s refusal to let Earl and Mitty share a cheeseburger. They rightfully found it, after all — who cares about its origin! Moms can be such buzzkills.
Oh, and Drunk Patty swears her pet turtle can do tricks. Mittens is pretty sure she’s hallucinating because he sees nothing. Even Earl can do tricks. Geez.
Let’s check in on all the hairy details of our pal Mitty’s latest “tragedies.”
