I have been working on a list of comic strips featuring cats for about
a month now - this was prompted by a short exchange here last month.

Today's "9 Chickweed Lane"
(<http://www.chickweed.com/comics/chickweed/archive/chickweed-20040121.html>)
is Solange based and prompted me to post the link and an update on my
list.

The list is pretty well done - it's nowhere near complete: that would
be impossible because there are thousands of web based comics out
there and they come and go randomly.  I have, however, reformatted it,
made it a static page instead of generating it anew each time it'c
accessed, and linked to it from my cat pictures page
(<http://www.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/index.html>).  The list itself
is <http://www.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/cat_comics.html>.  The
original temporary link is still functional, but will be replaced with
a 'we've moved' page and eventually deleted.

I found sixty-two comic strips of interest and one hundred seven
unique names for cat characters.  I put a sorted list of the names at
the bottom of the page.  There are still a few names I don't have, and
may have to contact the strip's creators to get - these are marked by
question marks.  A few strips were found but omitted because they are
just too offensive even for me.

If anyone finds other strips that ought to be on the list, let me
know.  I guess I ought to put a contact link on the page - I'll do
that later today.

BTW, one question raised in the earlier discussion was about the name
of Heathcliff's girlfriend: it's Sonja.
