Faint of heart... Is that why Steven took time off? He's faint of heart? I've got a feeling in my tummy-brain that someone better keep a close watch at Lookout Point.

Our family has had cats for over 40 years, and the last thing any of them would’ve wanted to do is visit an unknown residence. An unknown residence with OTHER ANIMALS would be a hundred times worse. I feared an upcoming play date with Pierre, Libby, and Odin (the Creepy Trio), and now it appears to be imminent. Just picture Estelle and Ed at the piano with those three critters nearby. OH NOOOO!!!
The first time our cat saw a dog in our house, her back arched up and she hissed just like in those Halloween drawings for kids. She most certainly did not love seeing him.
Yes, I'm sure Odin will be delighted to be stuffed into a cat carrier, hauled across town, and forced to mingle with a dog, and another adult cat on the back of a piano while you two bang out some old showtunes.
Thank you, M. Wanders for pointing out one of the most annoying (to me) flaws in the Worthiverse: anthropomorphism. If animals could be said to exhibit anything like "love', it would likely be for their filled food/water dishes, a safe place to sleep, and humans to cuddle with (mostly for warmth). Estelle and the other practitioners of "pets are good and just like us" in the Worthiverse can take a hike. I fear the cloying quotation KM unearths for this Sunday's strip, where Ed shows up at Estelle's for dinner and all the animals get along in ways they never would in the real world. Cue the singing birds in Disney's "Cinderella"..
You nailed it, KitKat (and others). Our inherited cat June has never been in a vehicle as far as we know and we have never come close to getting her into a carrier. (Thankfully we had a vet who mades house calls, but she's packed it in, so I don't know what the heck we're going to do going forward.) Odin visiting Estelle's would turn out like Grendel visiting the mead hall. Life in the worthiverse is very different from life here on earth.
I just can't get over the way people in the Worthiverse hold their phones. Apparently the Doc uses one forefinger and three knuckles to push his phone securely against the side of his head. I tried this and it doesn't work (ok, I admit I have no life). Worthiverse women hold their phones so as to show off their manicures.
The Doc must not have many hobbies or worries about fixing things around the house. He actually uses his one car garage to park his car in.

Ed’s as bad as Estelle is at holding a phone.

Nothing will take my mind off of work like seeing two of my patients!

That is one odd house, how does he get upstairs?
Only the stout of heart (or of midriff) are permitted to date Estelle.

For some reason, every time I see the name "Odin" I hear it pronounced as "Owen" from the movie "Throw Mama from the Train."
