A three-panel comic illustrating a cat named Felix’s seasonal journey. In autumn, Felix, the "local" black cat, is seen on New York steps. In winter, Felix lies comfortably on a couch beside affectionate neighbors who love him. In spring, a woman in Florida wonders if Felix hunts wild oats. Felix, carrying a cat carrier, travels from Florida to New York. Two older people say they travel every winter to Florida with him.

Felix the Cat

Posted inHumorNo Comments

My aunt’s neighbor in New York had a beautiful black cat, named Felix, who spent his days outside and came indoors at night.

One cool October evening, he disappeared. The neighbor searched for him in vain for several days. The following spring, however, Felix reappeared, looking healthy and clean. She figured he’s been out sowing his wild oats.

Everything was back to normal until that autumn, when Felix disappeared again. The next spring, he returned. Perplexed, my aunt’s friend began asking neighbors for clues. Finally, she rang the bell of an older couple who lived down the street.
