Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Counter point: Old cats tend to not be able to groom themselves as well and require baths, which can be stressful for them
If you bath your cat regularly, and from a young age, it will become an habit, and be less stressful the moment you actually need to wash them
Declawing is animal abuse tho. Still on your side here
Once my cat turned 20 she needed dust baths, it's not that she didn't like the water (she liked the warmth) but rather that she couldn't groom her fur back straight and refused to allow me to brush her coat to straight, so she'd get matted otherwise.
She had an extra (clean) litterbox that I'd bring down out of storage for her to roll in that was full of diatomaceous earth and baking soda.
Sweet dusty cat, I miss her.
Edit: I didn't pay the cat Tax, this is the sweet baby at 22
