Deer Demons. Please Leave.
October is in full swing which means things are going to get spooooky here at CAAATS!
Once in a while, there’s a pinch of reality mixed into the strips and the idea for this one actually came to me last Christmas when our daughter Georgia received a stuffed animal that bore a striking resemblance to a real life deer. So much so that Olive tackled it to the floor and bit into it’s throat. Was she hunting? Was she protecting the family from an intruder? I guess we’ll never know.
Also, the laughing mounted deer head at the end of this strip is a nod to Evil Dead II, my favorite horror film to watch when Halloween is getting close. There’s also a lot of comedy mixed into the film, which makes it a lot of fun. The clip is a little creepy, so younger readers may want to skip it, but you can view it here if you dare.
See you next week for more spooktacular fun!
Oh my.
This remembers me to a stuffed animal I once owned - a rabbit, made of real fur.
One day we came into the guest room, where the rabbit used to rest on a board, and found only tufts of fur all over the room. And finally in one corner the cleanly ripped open rabbit… 😉
Oh no! So was it your dog that destroyed the rabbit? Sounds like more damage than a cat could do.
I’m more an Army of Darkness guy than Evil Dead II, but Evil Dead II is still awesome.
As far as life like animal toys, my mom bought this pink dog on wheels for my daughter and she is terrified of that thing. If it starts to roll toward her she crawls away to me as fast as her little knees can take her and holds me. We have discovered that she doesn’t like any toys that move on their own, which is tricky since my three year old son has a million cars that drive around when he pushes a button on them.
Yeah it’s tricky figuring out what kinds of toys kids will go for. They always love the box, that’s for sure 😉
No, not a dog:

Wow! That is impressive!
I SO remember this. She still walks by that deer and bats at it. Every once and awhile I see it tipped over so I can only assume that Olive is still asserting her dominance.
Oh man, I didn’t know she was still whoopin’ on it. That’s too funny.
This strip is both kooky AND ooky! I love it!
