"Do I save the robin, or do I eat it?"

August 25, 2016 9:05 AM

Margaret Atwood (and artist Johnnie Christmas) have created Angel Catbird, a comic book about a winged human/cat/bird hybrid. It will be published by Dark Horse, and chronicles the adventures of a genetic engineer whose DNA is mixed with that of a cat, and an owl. The comic is part of her advocacy work for Keep Cats Safe and Save Bird Lives.

Even fictional cat violence brings me to tears.

Re: the last link - that is the most well reasoned and noninflammatory statement in favor of keeping cats indoors that I have ever read.

Anything that Atwood does (having just re-read The Handmaid's Tale) is fine by me
