	hahahaha, wow just look at that one panel where they lift Streaky's tail (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, Streaky is like "meeeeow?!!?!" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Kitty facial expressions are never not hilarious. I'm still iffy on the story, but God, I love the art (and still want to steal Peej's plaid boots). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm not even a fan of plaid, usually, but damn, those are some awesome boots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Karen as a fashion girl seems wrong, but with her body mass, I'm sure she appreciates a good pair of boots. ....what is WRONG with me? -bashes out clothing info- (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You don't have to be a 'fashion girl' (whatever that means) to be fashionable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterfedex 2009-09-24 03:51 am UTC (link)
	"Fashionista"? "Haute Couture lover"? Type of person to match a violet blouse with a pattern color of her boots? I haven't had enough coffee to debate a minor point or a mis-speak. Please don't try and whip up an argument over nothing. :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You know, I'm just amazed that Peej and Donna aren't a bloody mess right now. Bathing a cat is not for the faint of heart... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	well Powergirl shouldn't have that problem. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Bathing a cat is not for the faint of heart...

Preach it, kiddo. That flurry of frantic little paws in the second panel looks familiar from the last time I had to bathe a cat. (It's been years. For good reason.)

But...

You'll note that they're wearing long, heavy gloves. And Peej, who does, after all, have super-strength, is the one actually holding the cat.

Palmiotti and Conner must own cats to have thought the scene out that well.

	One of my cats loves baths. I was giving my dog a bath the other day and here comes the cat, jumping into the water and just chilling there for awhile, like it was a hot tub for kitties. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dejadrew 2009-09-24 05:08 am UTC (link)
	I was just thinking that. "Yup, you really NEED to be an invulnerable Kryptonian to safely bathe a cat." ...Say, do you think Power Girl might be willing to come by my place the next time one of my cats needs medication? I still have scars from the last time one of our kitties needed to be pilled. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jlroberson 2009-09-24 05:24 am UTC (link)
	And that look on the cat's face, which can mean nothing but, "The first chance I get, SHRED YOU. Shred you and eat your skin." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sailorlibra 2009-09-24 12:00 am UTC (link)
	Yes! (Reply to this)

	If there was a red ring passing by power girl and co be in trouble. So adorable expressions! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What's next, a cat named Dex-Starr? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	superfan1 2009-09-24 12:40 am UTC (link)
	But even he will be scared of power girl's cat rage? Plus were need more cats villains. :P Touche! :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a lot less "Awww!" when you remember that cats use their hind claws for serious attacks; the front claws are for warnings and for holding down prey to deliver the neck-breaking bite... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, I've given a Siamese a flea bath. I know from OUCH. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	cmdr_zoom 2009-09-24 03:48 am UTC (link)
	Yup. Both cats and rabbits use the hind claws for "and now, I rip out your guts." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sailorlibra 2009-09-24 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Also, I love the clothes Amanda Conner draws. They're always so pretty. :] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	scottyquick 2009-09-24 03:21 am UTC (link)
	They always give me the same shock I get when I read Runaways or SM<3MJ. People would actually wear those clothes! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	skylands 2009-09-24 02:37 am UTC (link)
	I love Power Girl so much. And I lol'd so hard at the cat's expressions. (Reply to this)

	chipsnopotatoes 2009-09-24 04:01 am UTC (link)
	After seeing her wonderful work in Wednesday Comics, I would buy an Amanda Conner drawn Streaky/Krypto mini-series any time! I love the facial expressions and the body language of that cat! (Reply to this)

	geoffsebesta 2009-09-24 08:29 am UTC (link)
	Now THAT is a good fix. Well played, DC! (Reply to this)

	That cat is evil. Look at those expressions! EVIL! HE WILL TAKE REVENGE. (Reply to this)

	goblinthebamf 2009-09-24 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	I love Power Girl's cat(s?), easily one of my favorite supporting characters. (Reply to this)

	jlbarnett 2009-09-24 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	I've always wondered if they gave Powergirl a cat because Supergirl had one. What do people here think? (Reply to this)

	ashez2ashes 2009-09-24 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	After seeing this and Wednesday comics I gotta say, Amanda Conner is kind of SUPER AWESOME at drawing cat expressions. She needs to draw some kind of evil cat comic someday. (Reply to this)

	freddie_mac 2009-09-25 12:41 am UTC (link)
	LOL! Fantastic cat expressions -- definitely a win. I thought Supergirl's cat was named Streaky; more to the point, has PG's cat ever been named? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	xdoop 2009-09-25 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"To date, the beast has never been provided with a proper name, but is sometimes referred to simply as "The Cat" (although both Guy and Wally have been considered as names)." http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Girl%27s_Cat_%28New_Earth%29 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The best panel...the single best panel...is when they lift his tail to spray his bottom. 'Oh, dude, what the HELL?' (Reply to this)
