in the unpublished story Housepets! An Infinitesimally Brief History of the World, it's established there is an African nation founded and run exclusively by Cheetahs. I'm assuming the part that established this was the story of Jata and Sabrina's romance

Looking for how will go on with Fido and Jata.
That's a nice excuse, Sabrina. Surely you haven't ever talked about that to Fido because you may have thought that you and Jata wouldn't have never meet again together after what happened so long time ago.

Well, we can pretty much ascertain that King clicked this link fairly quickly. XD

Lol young love is so un-purposely frivolous

rollingWolf · Post by **rollingWolf** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 10:53 pm

Two things tells me this has to be about the game.

1. Keene. Keene has no reason being in the comic so far. Telling everyone that hes a prince of a micronation? There could have been severla other characters telling the same thing. This makes me believe this has something to do with Pete.

2. "Hunk Sense Tingling". It made every catgirl scream like stupid girls do at a Bieber concert EXCEPT Sabrina. Was it for her love of Fido that she didnt heed the call? I doubt it since it apparently didnt work for Grape out of love for Max. I dont know why but to me atleast the only reason for this was ALSO to bring Peanuts girlfriend (sorry Ive forgotten the name of the Pommarian) into a panel.

So Sgt. Ralph gets tagged when he is barely visible, but in the last comic, Tarot is STILL not tagged? Weird...

So there is a King.... my prince question still stands!

So it is called Feraga, eh? I sense at least one fanfic receiving some retcons if the author ever comes back.

Jata apparently called ahead to let Keene, pretty much the owner of the neighborhood, that he'd be showing up so there'd be preparations. Keene came out to greet the foreign dignitary.

perhaps Sabrina was busy, perhaps she didn't react the same way because she actually knew Jata, or maybe there is no explanation other than Rick wanted to show Sabrina's reaction to him separately because it's a pretty important part of the arc.

Or maybe there's an easiest explanation: Because she is into dogs now.
I mean, just because there's a tendency for people to act the same way in certain situations doesn't mean everyone falls in that generalization. Another example of this could be the fact that every male dog in the neighborhood are crazy for Sasha. Peanut would be an exception to the rule in this case since he never showed any interest on her. The same happen with Fido since he is in love of a cat.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 2:58 am

Regarding why Sabrina hasn't gone crazy like the other cats: Sabrina never really struck me as the type to go chasing guys like the other cats. I blame the combination of the travelling and the things she might've already mellowed out from during her travels.

Sure. Jata just happned to know where Sabrina lives. Sabrinas dad could just as easily have been there greeting him since they know eachother from earlier.

Come on. If youre looking for where a specific pet lives do you actually search for the pet or the owner?

Sure Keene could be there to greet the dignitary but like I said earlier there are others that could have done it too. Soo, Keene for me is a hint of what to come.

The cats have 'hunk sense', Keene has 'an important butt to kiss' sense.

Go back a few threads, Rick questioned the cheetah thing and someone found the reference and it's jaguars.

Officially I'm sure Jata is there to meet Keene. Rulers of nations don't go halfway around the world without red tape like you can't imagine.

My assumption is it means King is dead.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 11:29 am

Yes, but if his father was the king, why is he still a prince? I guess he wasn't first in line.

He might've not accepted the crown yet. He might've been too hasty to see Sabrina.

You forget that Sabrina is a psychic-in-training living with a fully-trained psychic who is in direct consultation with a Higher Order Being. My guess is either

before she could even get to "hunk sense tingling" Tarot said "by the way, that old friend of yours is in the neighborhood"
"what old frien...? *looks out the window* Oh my goodness JATA!"
instead of "hunk sense tingling", she got a "someone-I-know-but-haven't-seen-in-a-long-time-has-entered-my-range-of-perception sense tingling"

Fido had better be careful to not let this get out of hand. If any word of his relationship with Sabrina gets out, Bino is going to stage a coup.

Or my theory of it is simply Grape is the only one with the "hunk sense" and all the other cats were outside already playing/doing various things. They then saw him and ran up thinking he was an actor because he was hot and stuff.

Well, yeah. But that's a storm that will blow everyone else s laundry off the lines. =P

It'd be interesting to see how the dots connect here. Keene knows Jata somehow (rich connections possibly?), but unless he knew where they were going when she left, how does Jata know where Sabrina was unless they've stayed in contact?

Yeah but she was talking with Peanut in that occasion. Since Fido is her boyfriend he is supposed to know all these things, meanwhile Peanut is just a friend so it depends of her if she want to open her heart and tell him about her life (it's not like Peanut would pay much attention though XD).
