Meet the stars of the newest webcomic from "The Black Cat"!

Now, who could they be?

And from that page comes this intro.

With the exception of Isis, Rozz (she can be found in the DC Super-Pets comics), and a black panther from the 80's (Dummy me can't remember the big guy's name) (I'll interrupt to mention that I believe that that was Hecate), Selina's cats have been nameless and only visible in the background.

After having seen the pages from the new Catwoman series, an idea started brewing and I tried to convince myself not to do it because of the work I'm doing on Batman and Sons during my free time. But I didn't listen (and who knows, some of us might think I should have).

But I did it and I love it!

It's not hard to figure out where Butch and Sunny got their names from unless never heard of the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But deep down in my heart, I'm really naming them after the actors who portrayed the outlaws. That movie was the first PG movie I saw as a kid (Yes, I'm that old) and that experience always stayed fresh in my mind. It was a milestone to me.

Selina's Cats does take place in the Batman and Sons universe. So once in awhile, they'll pop up.

From what I've read on that list, sterilisation seems to benefit the human community far more than the actual animals.

With regards to "spaying and neutering leading to longer, healthier lives and reducing cancer," I'd like to know what research they referenced that actually supports that link, and how recent those findings actually are. I can believe the cancer one to an extent, but as to whether or not sterilisation leads to a 'healthier' animal is questionable. As a counterpoint to that argument, cutting their supply of oestrogen and testosterone can also increase the risk for osteoporosis, decreased muscle mass and strength, and it can produce fatigue and depression, in addition to a decreased sex drive and sexual behaviour in the animal. At best, it's a double edged sword and the question remains, who actually benefits more from a sterilised animal.

Like I said, the ethics behind the rationale are questionable at best and controversial at that.

Well, if a cat's going to live in a city among humans, then there had best be some benefits for humans. The reward for fitting into human society is generally a longer, safer life, featuring being well fed, cared for, diseases and accidents looked after by vets, a more pleasant environment, more attention, etc., etc.

The alternative to doing things that help the cat integrate into human society is generally negative to a cat's health, especially in urban environments.
