"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
