For all we know Marvin (Tiger is the dog, you got the names mixed up) has had multiple owners so he goes with a first-name basis; or perhaps was adopted late in life and so doesn’t have that sort of bond with his owner.
Only time, character development and background story will tell.
Tiger is based directly on the character Garfield, yes. Apparently Tiger is one of the first characters the Griffin conceived as a child. Kid, reads a lot of Garfield comics, starts drawing his own comic… what would you expect?
Natural rabbit instinct:
If something touches you and you don’t know what it is PANIC! Happens with a species that are eaten by 80% of the predators in their environment.
My best mate’s rabbit’s instinct = non-existent. Other than to hop around the garden and dig through wooden floorboards. I heard of lops being dumb, but never seen one that sits in your lap like a cat before.
I have to say that the rabbit’s face in the third panel made me laugh for a good two minutes solid. I don’t know why? I guess it’s probably becaus I’ve done that exact same thing to people, where you come up behind them and they freak… and they really do look like that.
rofl, wow. Great start after that long story arc.
Hehehe… “Meanwhile”
Poor rabbit, scared hareless (Lol, rabbit joke!)
Nice to see Zach again!
Still under n-ple Date arc?
First time posting, I love Housepets so freaking much I stay up till 12:00 just so I can be one of the first to see it.
<3 you Rick!
Someone;s jumpy!
=3 Also…. 1st to reply!!
never mind. =<
You are a mere padawan in the art known as comment leaching.
but soon you shall master it’s ways through diligence and cunning
I guess he’s lonley without Tiger! ROFL
Either that, or Tiger’s psychosis is wearing off on Zach.
Sorry, “rubbing off”
Sadly, that might be the case.
Cute Bunny is Cute
poor bunny
LOL Poor dude XD
thats gonna give some serious tramatic child hood years D:
Wow. I was really slow to get the title joke :3
Why do most of the pets refer to their owners as “mom” or “dad”, whlie Tiger refers to his owner using his first name?
Perhaps difference of relationship. You may recall Rufus didn’t call his former owner “dad” but rather just “last owner”. http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/07/03/pushing-up-daisies/

OMG, that nose! So cute.
I agree. The first panel sets the mood extremely well.
That is exactly how a rabbit carefully enters into a new room.
SCARED BUNNEH IZ SCARED! =O
Very much so.
This a play on those Garfield minus Garfield comics?

No, my brother came up with Tiger! Bino was my version of that
Oh! I stand corrected.
Bino is also great!
Love the title of this one
bunny take a chill pill.
Ah yes, the pink bunny.
Eh TIger isn’t that bad….
Is he?
The potential horrors of off-panel relationships!

PS. MMMMM Rabbit
Doesn’t help that cheetahs use barely-living bunnies as teaching tools for their kittens…
Great, now all I can think about is Fatal Attraction
Wow, I hadn’t even thought of tha– Oh, darn you! Now I’m infected!

Their back……..
yeyyy bunny … *pokes* heyy where did he go
i wonder if Marvin feels bad for giving Zack a heart attack ..
*poke* boom! your dead! *rabbit heart-attack*
Is that a cat or a dog, I really can’t tell.
Cat
Well, he seems more than a bit JUMPY.
Poke of doom >=P
Would it be wrong to assume the next update will be delayed until the rabbit has been revived? =)
Yea! I knew housepets wasn’t over!

………………………bunny……………………….^^
Return of the dysfunctional Arbelt clan! Gotta love those rascals.
that poor bunny never gets a break XD
Jumpy much?
… No pun intended.
Blasphemy! Puns are what the people on the internet strive on!
It’s a world wide punomenom!
… Did I spell that right?
I think it should be Punomenon, but I’m not sure.
Apparently, ‘Punom’ may serve as shorthand. Though I must admit, these aren’t words I use often.
That one was sneaky, lol.
I think you mean “thrive” on, but good pun afterward. Well done indeed.
Good… pun…?
…
I’ve got some… things… to think about.
Bunny needs hugs.
