Rachel (admiralshazbot) says: I blame this strip for making me want a pet lion. Leo is so cuuuute!
NigaiAmai Yume (nigaiamai_yume) says:
They have a sanctuary dedicated to CyberKitty Carnivores.
Just the “modified, deadly felines”.
HOW many mad scientists ARE there in this world???
More evidence this exists in the Narbonicverse.
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says: WAR KITTENS?
Ed Gedeon (eddurd) says:
Wait a minute … a dedicated T1 line *and* girls? Feline computer geeks actually get GIRLS???
*sob* Mommy, I wanna be a lion …
John Lussmyer (casadelgato) says: I wish my Lion’s (well, Cougars) could talk.. (Yes, I do have Cougars. http://www.casadelgato.com)
Steve Ford (sford) says:
Am I the only one who was charmed by Leo saying “Miss Sweetheart”?
Who wrote that line? It was you Channing, wasn’t it? WASN’T IT???
Jeffrey Channing Wells (channing) says: Yeah, that was mine, I think. Sometimes I can’t remember which lines are mine and which are Shaenon’s, although a good rule of thumb for me — which may also prove helpful to the rest of you — is that if a fourth-panel punch line is actually funny, it’s typically hers. I just do not have the knack for those yet.
Jeffrey Channing Wells (channing) says: That having been said, today’s punchline is mine, and I do enjoy it quite a bit.
Aaron Shades (prof_tinker) says:
I love how Leo was *just* getting up steam for a good-old fashoned ‘oh woe, for I am so alone’ style speech. Thank god that one was snipped in the bud.
Also, Unity and the ‘Bot seem to be so very honestly enjoying each others company. Kinda heartwarming.
Shaenon Garrity (shaenongarrity) says:
Since Jeffrey wrote this strip, this is just my own personal speculation, but I picture the CyberKitty Sanctuary being run by well-meaning computer-tech people with too much money and an unhealthy fondness for cats. I’m not saying Stalking Cat is actually on the board of directors, but that’s the kind of thing that springs to mind. For me, anyway.
Since these are private facilities, the quality and availability of care varies wildly. Leo is lucky in that respect; if he were derived from an unpopular animal, like a muskrat or a clam, Skin Horse would probably have a harder time placing him.
Thomas Levy (ergonomytch) says: And if he had been derived from a gerbil, he would have had a completely different problem: NO VACANCY
Dave Van Domelen (dvandom) says:
Prof Tinker: Well, Unity and the bot do share several interests in common. Destroy, destroy, and, um, oh yeah, destroy.
Oh, and I love how Sarge captured the “dog show prancing” gait Sweetheart uses.

I want to be feline, too, but mostly for the excuse to sleep all day. And be both cruel and cute, and adored for both.
Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier my fondess for people who’s primary reason for existance can be summated by the word “Destroy!” pleasantly enjoying a fine tea and cookie.
BTW, where do I send donations for the CyberKitty Sanctuary, Shaenon? ^-^

Including girls in the deal could sell just about anything to a guy.
