It could very well be Max’s. Peanut has his own Wii, so why not?
It’s already pretty much established that pets in this universe seem closer to adopted children than any old “Fluffy.” Well, the spoiled ones anyway.
The Author of the series can indeed be a dog just to be funny in my opinion.
I can personally see something funny also like Grape, Max, all the cats or a mix of the three not knowing until they actually see her, just going by what people said/wrote =P
“Alright, everybody. Cats wanting to get their book signed, make a line to the left. Cats wanting to get pet by Ms. Auburn, make a line to the right.”
“What’s the third line for?”
“Non-cats”
Yeaaaah…..feet……sure. Also I like the eyes of Max and Grape in panel 3. Just like your other artwork. I’ve never seen you use those eyes (pupils) on Housepets before.
Now Were Talkin’! The Current Bids Are At 610 and a Crumb! The Question Is This: Which Pets Will Be There And What Do You Think The Author Looks Like Or Is? Also, People Have Been Bidding On Peanut’s Secret Santa (Who He Got)! Now, Lets Begin The Bidding (Again)!
Now that this has come up, I don’t feel awkard saying:
Eight cookies on Squeak being there
Four cookies on Squeak knowing Ms. Auburn personally
Two cookies on Squeak being Ms. Auburn
Has anyone bet on the simple fact that Ms. Auburn will, in fact, be human?
1 cookie on tha–
Oh wait, I’m out of cookies
*checks e-mail*
“cookie created successfully”
Yay!
Where was I? Oh yes: 1 cookie on that
No, it’s because apparently, the author has had requests like that before, which she later decided was inappropriate, as it could cause ink poisoning to the pet…from which she would get a lawsuit…
Also, signee would be the receiver, and signer would be the giver, no?
I was thinking the same thing as Grape (That the author would be a “no cat” person not that bodypart… part. :p), this time I’m happy I got it wrong. X3
But Grapes reaction… ouch that’s a bit hars there. But still so funny. XD
Unlikely Preidction #330 _ The Giant Fox Person thing {I don’t know the exact word or anything, just calling him that} will show up for a surprise visit.
*reads Alt-text*
Actually, “foot” would make sense since it (front paw or back paw) would be the only part of an animal not covered in fur; thus being perfect to have a tattoo-er trace over …once signed.
…unless of course your one of those “dye-each-individual-hair” kinda people.
Huh? The problem isn’t that it’s dye, it’s that if you dye fur or hair it shifts and moves and details get blurred out. If they had tats that showed the fur texture that’d be fine, but what they have makes it look like they’re covered in fur-textured body paint instead of actual fur, and completely blows the illusion.
Too bad Bino isn’t injured right now. It would be funny to see him sneak in to get his cast signed by the author, only to have the cast be identified as a “specific body part”
ODDS:
Miss Auburn is a dog 1:6,678,934,542 and rising
Peanut will be involved 456:1 and falling
next strip will be the unveigling 7:1 and rising
PLACE YER BETS NOW!
Wait, when you say “1:6 billion and rising”, do you mean the probability ratio is rising (making it more probable) or the denominator of 6 billion is rising (making it less probable)? I seem to remember from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that saying “and rising” meant the latter.
Close-up kittyfaces!
“I can see your soul…”
Pfft that has to be LONG gone from meº→º
Wait, I do believe that’s the second computer we’ve seen in Housepets. Whose is it I wonder? Max’s?
And eh hem, I love Grape in fan-girl mode.
Relative.
I think its safe to assume it belongs to one of their owners.
It could very well be Max’s. Peanut has his own Wii, so why not?
It’s already pretty much established that pets in this universe seem closer to adopted children than any old “Fluffy.” Well, the spoiled ones anyway.
I see new kitty close up avatars coming!
Nooooooooooo!
Yeeeeeeeeeeees…..
It also only happens on predictable moments…
lol I can’t wait till we actually get to see her.
The suspense should be as fun as seeing it.
Hmmm my original comment seems to be stuck in a pending moderation state
Yeah… can’t get too loose with your words in here. No matter the context; if it might contain a questionable term, its flagged.
No worries, though. I don’t think any less of you. In fact-! I have a post of my own to check up on. Thanks for reminding me.
(As dictated in the form of a REPLY to PSEUDO. Crazy comments might just goof this up, too, or fix the whole thing. At least I’ve tried.)
Question: How much can you cuss on this.
Not at all.
If the filters don’t catch it, I will. And the filters don’t autoban. But I do.
alright
foxstar, dat just made u sound laike ah ninja….. good job
Yeah, It did seem like one of those “Chuck Norris will hunt you down” except “Foxstar will hunt you down…. With his banhammer”
“As the sun rose over the farm, the ‘censored’ crowed” has always cracked me up.
Im viewing this in my blackberry torch and i cant read the alt text, will someone help me?
Added to the top comment for you. Grape has some weird body parts she wants signed.
What could she possibly want signed? Her paws? Her tail?
Her mouth. No, her ear.
Oh.. no! it’s the Vet all over gain! D:
Fans can get very, VERY creative with which body parts they want signed…
(“For the third and final time, I do NOT sign spleens!”)
Ron Post will sign your spleen for you.
wasn’t that sarcasm on grape’s part?
if not the funeral procession comment now makes MUCH less sense.
Thanks!
Max is really cute in this one.
Miss Auburn should definitely be a dog; that would just be SO hilarious!
It would be very funny but wouldn’t they have figured that out by now, she’s apparently not a private person.
Well, unless a dog actually writes the books and Miss Auburn is a front.
The Author of the series can indeed be a dog just to be funny in my opinion.
I can personally see something funny also like Grape, Max, all the cats or a mix of the three not knowing until they actually see her, just going by what people said/wrote =P
Or a mouse. Or a fish.
Oh! Oh! I know! A bird!
On second thought, if she is a dog, it would be interesting how that fits into the whole catlover/doglover argument
A least be happy she is even signing stuff.
Not like Bill Watterson.
One of these days…
murphy’s law says that she inevitably will be a dog
She’d get a real kick out of that anyways.

(Begins to clap slowly)
*uses kage bunshin to create an entire stadium full of applause*
Nice scout avatar
#1 Thing to do on that list:
Get pet by Miss Auburn
calling it!
MEGA PURR
“Alright, everybody. Cats wanting to get their book signed, make a line to the left. Cats wanting to get pet by Ms. Auburn, make a line to the right.”
“What’s the third line for?”
“Non-cats”
well that’s….oddly generic and specific. O.o Let’s not get any more specific…
This was targeted directly at me, wasn’t it? *giggles*
*read comment*
?
wuuuhhhhh….
*brain starts working*
OHHHHH ha ha ai get it… cuz ur user name X3 heh
Also we are friends and l commission him a lot and it is something that comes up quasi regularly. *giggles*
B-b… but that’s where I’m getting her name tattooed!! DX
These two are adorable from every angle, in every panel, but especially Grape in the middle two and Max in the last two. ^_^
I’m excited to see how this pans out! Thanks, Rick!
rick’s using some different and intersting angles in this one…. i like it
The computer webcam look is very nice
I don’t see a webc– oh
Yeaaaah…..feet……sure. Also I like the eyes of Max and Grape in panel 3. Just like your other artwork. I’ve never seen you use those eyes (pupils) on Housepets before.
In panel 3 It’s like Grape is saying: “See Max they love us the humans, they are watching us right now” Max: “WOW”!!!
Pushing PG ratings in our minds… again…XD
Now Were Talkin’! The Current Bids Are At 610 and a Crumb! The Question Is This: Which Pets Will Be There And What Do You Think The Author Looks Like Or Is? Also, People Have Been Bidding On Peanut’s Secret Santa (Who He Got)! Now, Lets Begin The Bidding (Again)!
Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
I bid ten cookies that Joey will be there, in suit.
Now that this has come up, I don’t feel awkard saying:
Eight cookies on Squeak being there
Four cookies on Squeak knowing Ms. Auburn personally
Two cookies on Squeak being Ms. Auburn
Has anyone bet on the simple fact that Ms. Auburn will, in fact, be human?
1 cookie on tha–
Oh wait, I’m out of cookies
*checks e-mail*
“cookie created successfully”
Yay!
Where was I? Oh yes: 1 cookie on that
Shouldn’t be “Signee’s Remorse”? I dunno…
No, it’s because apparently, the author has had requests like that before, which she later decided was inappropriate, as it could cause ink poisoning to the pet…from which she would get a lawsuit…
Also, signee would be the receiver, and signer would be the giver, no?
It’s also funny how your phrase is the #1 option on google…
http://www.google.com/search?q=signee%27s+remorse&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
oh wait, signers signify a sign…signees sign a document…
A cat is a document?
If you tattoo legal information onto its fur, then yes…
Plus, I think it’s a pun on “sinner’s remorse.”
I was thinking the same thing as Grape (That the author would be a “no cat” person not that bodypart… part. :p), this time I’m happy I got it wrong. X3
But Grapes reaction… ouch that’s a bit hars there. But still so funny. XD
oh no she get the fangirl diease! quick to the vet before its spreads!
Author cameo?
Not unless “Ms. Auburn” is Rick in a wig
…though if Ms. Auburn turns out to be a yellow chinchilla, that would be awesome
Next there will be a No Signing Name w/ Hearts instead of Dots on “i”s.
Awww
Not even if it’s the “i” in “evil”?
how about a i in “Anvil”
I bet the author is gonna be like the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons
Or Adam West from Family guy with his Kitty Kross Bow! Bet she can’t throw any of them over the house like the cat lady did in the Simpsons though.
I’m not one for consistency, but is Max’s bitemark a lot bigger here? Or is it just me?
Nah, it’s not just you, I think it’s bigger as well. It seems to be most of his ear in this one… *shrugs*
The closer you are to his face, the bigger the ear-bite.
Will you sign my bell… DANG IT!
…Okay, um…What exactly would Grape wanted to have signed?…O_o;
So who will King get a present for this year? I put 30 cookies on Sasha.
I place 500 cookies on a Bino vendetta…
Unlikely Prediction #327 – Pete’s going to be there in a new (and previously unknown) avatar.
Unlikely Prediction #328 – There will be cake…
Unlikely Prediction #329 – It will be canon to a character in the forums…
If he shows up as the author of Pridelands or is her husband than everyone is DOOMED!!!!!!!!
PS I don’t know where I got that idea.
Unlikely Preidction #330 _ The Giant Fox Person thing {I don’t know the exact word or anything, just calling him that} will show up for a surprise visit.
Great Kitsune

You get people in SL wearing detailed tattoo overlays on a fur-textured avatar. I find that disconcerting.
It’s not tatoo, it’s dye!
It still looks just plain wrong to me.
Said the ferret with blue hair
Huh? The problem isn’t that it’s dye, it’s that if you dye fur or hair it shifts and moves and details get blurred out. If they had tats that showed the fur texture that’d be fine, but what they have makes it look like they’re covered in fur-textured body paint instead of actual fur, and completely blows the illusion.
Max looks soo cuuute
Too bad Bino isn’t injured right now. It would be funny to see him sneak in to get his cast signed by the author, only to have the cast be identified as a “specific body part”
Why is thee a loan ad below me?
I don’t know if there’s a way of blocking trackbacks.
That would be funny just for what it would imply about Bino. Can you say Blackmail?
Guess it runs in the family…
Wait, what would that mean for Fido?
MAYBE HE SECRETLY EATS CATS
He is the one who wanted Peanut out of the Good Old Dogs Club for being a “cat lover.” Fido got Peanut back into it though.
Actually that’s the same saw Robert Pattison issued, after some females tried to get him to remove his shirt for a photo.
ODDS:
Miss Auburn is a dog 1:6,678,934,542 and rising

its getting less probable.i see somone else is a guide fan, so in your case the probability is 1:42.
I suppose this will somehow go horribly wrong and turn Grape off of Pridelands.
ya for…… na probly not
I’m a cat person who loves cuteness. Dogs are no slouches in cuteness.
Looook intoo my eyeees… they are very biiig and hard to miiiisss… bluh…
Also, they have Pac-Man eyes.
They will not have cake, FOR THE CAKE IS A LIE!DONT FALL FOR YOUR OWN ILLUSIONS GRAPE!
