Here, Kitty Kitty GAHHH!!!

Jake thinks he's wishing Mr. Whiskers a happy International Cat Day, but he's really just moments away from the worst claw attack of his life. If you have a cat (or cats), give them an extra snuggle or just leave them alone, which they'd probably enjoy more.

Also, on this day in 2008, Daria revealed her greatest retail regret to Racked. Read the interview and see the original artwork!

Fanfic Update!

• The Cause (Scenes No Daria fanfic should have: The Saga Goes On), by OzFerret (part 1): "Daria looked around the room, taking in the faces of each of her compatriots. 'You all know why we are here tonight?' Daria asked. Everyone nodded. Daria's expression was rarely considered cheerful, but tonight she looked grim."


• Chuck And Stacy: An Unlikely Love Story, by WildDogJJ (part 1): "Charles Ruttheimer the Third was positioned at the entrance to the Lawndale Mall. He was trying to wow passerby with his magic act. He was calling himself Charles The Prestidgitator. He had to admit the name was lame but it was all he could come up with so he went with it."


• Danny Morgendorffer, by ST91 (part 7): "'DeMartino !?' asked Jake. 'Yes.' Daniel replied. 'Crazy Eye DeMartino !?' asked Jake again. 'That's what he said.'"


• Daria Ravenclaw: The Year of the Owl, by Meester_Lee (parts 2 - 4): "Daria joined her first potion-making class a week later. It was held at Mrs. Ocampo's, but not in her home. Instead it was held in a building behind it." (Part 3) (Part 4)


• First One Out of the Pan, by EntrancedCat (part 3): "Next morning, Daria heard a commotion in the garage indicating that at least her father was home. She got up from her spot under the window to open the access door."


• God Save the Esteem: AU Where Rita Goes Punk (Scenes No Daria fanfic should have: The Saga Goes On), by Smijey (COMPLETE!): "Helen was sprawled out on her couch in Highland, surrounded by half a dozen other unconscious types. A gentle knocking came at the door; this failed to rouse anybody. After a long moment, the door was forcefully kicked open. 'Helen!' Rita shouted, as she stormed in. 'Where the heck are you?'"


• In The Year 2019, by JAS (COMPLETE!): "First thing Daria became aware of when she woke up, was the headache. Next thing was that her mouth was dry and tasted like something died there."

• Teaching is a work of heart, by Rémi (part 17): "Morgendorffer household. Daria is answering the phone. Daria (monotone voice) : Daria Morgendorffer speaking. Helen's voice : Hi, Daria ! I'm glad to reach you at last. I've been waiting for fresh news of Quinn and you for a while. Seriously, it wouldn't kill you to call your parents from time to time."


• They Never Sleep (Daria and the Gang), by Roentgen (COMPLETE!): "'Do you really think this is a good idea, Jane?' Daria and Jane walked into the laboratory where Daria worked as a part-time cryogenecist. She had a newly-minted master's degree from Raft University with a specialty in biology and cryogenics."
