Canadian cartoonist Lynn Johnston's hugely popular comic strip "For
Better or For Worse" has turned to owning a cat - or rather, being
owned by a cat. Elizabeth, the Patterson's daughter who's teaching in
a native school in Northern Ontario, has been persuaded to keep a
stray kitty. She resists until she finally relents and names it
Shiimsa ("little animal friend" in Ojibwa). Of course once a kitty is
named, the last barricade has fallen.

Now in today's strip (Nov. 30), Elizabeth is introduced to the joys -
and jolts - of having your life taken over by a cat!
