Three Little Words - Spark A String Of Strips

"I Smell Fear"

I was at the mall today and walked through the old Spencer's Gifts shop looking at the stuff nobody really buys anymore.  They had a string of T-Shirts on the wall, one of which was from Bob's Burgers TV show with the girl with the pink bunny ears and the words "I smell fear" on it. 

Bingo!  I could see Marcus telling his owner that with a HUGE smile on his face, and what would spark fear is any owner trying to pill their cat who knows full well a pill is coming.  It didn't take more than 30 seconds to work out that one of the cats gets an upper respiratory infection and then another.... making it a chore to dose each of them daily, and when Marcus comes down with it too he's very savvy about not letting himself get pilled.  I can do maybe 3 or 4 strips off this one idea easily. 

And for sneezing cats, instead of 'achoo' I think a more cat appropriate sound would be 'snit!' since they do it so delicately.  Of course a spray of fluid accompanies it (as any owner knows who has had a cat sneeze in their face unexpectedly).

So........THAT'S where some artists/writers get ideas from
