Stubby comes home

Sad story

Happy ending.


Stubby finally comes home.











When we first moved
to Brixton...

Stubby stayed at Jeffery Street
with his kitty friends
Tiger and Fena.



One day
Tiger and Fena died
together.

Stubby
was left alone.

We wanted to bring him to Brixton.

But we couldn't agree
on the use of a litter box.



After one long year
Stubby decided
a litter box
may have its place in his life.

So it was time
to bring him home
to Brixton.




I bring out the cat carrier.

- What's going on? he wonders.

Long drive in the car...

- Where is she taking me?

And out of the carrier
to Brixton!

- What is this place?

It smells different.

A new back porch...

Wow!

Look at that kitty condo!

And all the litter boxes
a cat could want!

A warm cushion in the sun.

A lap and a rub on the head.


This is the life!

Dusty ignores him at first...













...then follows him
suspiciously.

Maybe we could share the porch...

Dusty finally decides
Stubby can stay
as long as Dusty gets top perch.

Nicky comes home
for fall break
unaware that her cat
has come home.

She thinks her surprise
is the new purple bike
for her Starbucks commute.

Take the bike
out for a spin.

And then the real surprise -
out on the porch

Her Stubbster!




He's a happy kitty...

...and he's
home at last.
