The longer you waste money leaving the door open to heat the neighborhood air, the less likely you’ll be allowed to keep dithering about a decision. Learn to dither all the way to decision before you open the door.
In the original run, THIS comic was directly before the one printed today. This explains the kerfuffle with the Saturday and Sunday. This should have been the Sat. https://www.gocomics.Com/calvinandhobbes/1994/02/26?ct=v&cti=28275 Thought you guys would like to see the great strip missing in the line up
We used to have a cat that did something like that. He would stand at the door, hollering to be let out. When you opened the door, he would stand 1/2 way in the doorway, and couldn’t make up his mind what to do. A gentle nudge with a foot helped him make up his mind. He would go outside, and then imediately meow wanting to come back in.
This is what cats do. It is important to consider the new situation before the escape door is closed. I am patient with my cats and am rewarded by their being patient with me. :)

It’s a wonder that Calvin’s parents were never arrested for child abuse!

That’s the way it was in the 50’s, go outside and don’t come back until dinner.

Sounds exactly like LuLu the Wonder Cat Who Came in from the Cold and Decided to Stay. Although The❤️Count and ❤️Countess never kick her out the door.

My folks would have yelled and said, “In or out, we’re not paying to heat the whole outdoors.”

When trying to make a decision, best not to stand in front of an open door. You can get run over by a decisive person.
