Scott Metzger is a cartoonist whose name is practically synonymous with feline comedy. Since the early 2000s, he’s been slinging punchlines like a cat swats cups off counters — effortlessly and with zero remorse. His cartoons often star cats, dogs, and the occasional jaded human, all painted in a style that’s clean, bold, and wonderfully expressive.
Meet Scott Metzger – The Cat Whisperer with a Wicked Sense of Humor
Metzger’s comics have appeared in greeting cards, books, magazines, and viral memes shared by pet lovers worldwide. He doesn’t just draw pets — he translates their sarcastic inner monologues into pure comic gold. His signature humor is dry, witty, and spot-on for anyone who’s ever wondered if their cat is plotting world domination or just annoyed the food bowl isn’t full. Now, let’s dive into 20 of his funniest cat cartoons — a brilliant blend of fur, frustration, and feline truth bombs.
#1 The Halloween Horror.
A group of cats huddle on a couch like kids at a campfire, wide-eyed in fear. The terror? A tiny cat-sized Halloween costume. If you’ve ever tried dressing up your cat, you know this strip hits a little too close to home. Metzger turns feline disdain into horror-movie suspense — and it’s hilarious.
#2 The Black Cat Redemption.
A black cat support group meets to shake off centuries of bad PR. One claims they’re lucky at casinos, another admits to being “only a little mean on Twitter.” This clever comic flips superstition into therapy, and it’s refreshingly empowering… for cats, at least.
#3 Plot Twist with a Tail.
Two humans sip coffee, admiring their cats’ newfound peace. Little do they know, one of the cats is reading a book titled “How to Crush Your Enemy.” Metzger’s punchlines are sneak attacks — just like a cat on your keyboard.
#4 Feline Emotional Breakdown.
A stressed-out tabby freaks out at being called an “emotional support cat.” Jessica just doesn’t get it — the emotional labor is real. The exaggerated panic and cocktail bar setting make this strip feel like a soap opera for the whiskered crowd.
#5 The Thanksgiving Snub.
One cat vents about being left out of the Thanksgiving gratitude list. No one said his name. Not one person. Metzger captures peak passive-aggressive cat energy with spot-on human parallels.
#6 Giving Tuesday… Cat Style.
While humans donate money, these cats “gift” their humans dead mice, spare fur, and extra minutes of sleep. It’s twisted generosity, delivered with pitch-perfect sarcasm. Scott speaks fluent feline here.
#7 Holiday Burnout.
A frantic cat admits he’s behind on holiday chaos: knocking over trees, sitting in boxes, lying on wrapping paper. The stress is real. Metzger taps into every cat’s sacred duty to destroy holiday décor with passion and urgency.
#8 The Elf on the… Floor.
Forget “Elf on the Shelf.” Metzger reimagines the tale with a rhyming bedtime story — and a cat’s perspective on creepy Christmas mascots. Bonus points for holiday rhymes and expressive cat eyes.
#9 Customer Service for Cats.
Puffy fur complaints go straight to the feline front desk. “What can I do to make you not puffy?” might be the best customer service line ever. Metzger nails that absurd, bureaucratic cat logic.
#10 The Ghost of Christmas Cat.
It’s midnight. The cat is hacking up a festive hairball, and the human’s horror screams could wake the dead. A masterful blend of seasonal cheer and gross-out comedy — Metzger style.
#11 Bohemian Apathy.
A moody cat belts out a Queen parody on piano: “Nothing really matters… the only one who matters is me.” If cats had rock bands, this would be their anthem. Paws down.
#12 The Catty Awards.
At the 76th Annual Catty Awards, a smug feline thanks their fifth-grade teacher for believing in their ability to do… nothing. It’s a feline Oscar speech dripping in shade and laziness. Brilliantly cat.
#13 Block Writer.
A man tries to work but his cat sits between him and his keyboard. “I don’t have writer’s block, but I do have block writer.” Wordplay at its finest — and most relatable.
#14 Hello, Moon… and Chaos.
A cat reads a bedtime book version of “Hello Moon” turned feline manifesto. It’s nonsensical, funny, and ends with the human yelling “Shut up!” This one’s bedtime gold.
#15 The Dreidel Disaster.
A Hanukkah tune takes a turn when the clay dreidel ends up lost forever under the couch. The lyrics, the expressions — Metzger captures cat-caused holiday chaos with purrfection.
#16 Rocking Horse Delivery.
Santa gets a delivery of a “rocking horse,” and it’s literally a horse rocking out on guitar. The dad-joke energy is strong, and the absurdity even stronger. It’s laugh-out-loud ridiculous.
#17 Canine Lyft.
Okay, this one’s for the dogs — but it’s too good. A dog shows another how to use the “Lyft” app to go from living room to bed. “This is life-changing!” Absolutely. Even your cat would approve.
#18 Canines in Cars.
Another dog-themed gem — one pooch brags about their web series: Canines in Cars Getting Fur on Everything. It’s a genius spoof of Jerry Seinfeld’s show, with fur as the main guest star.
#19 Peeing Carolers.
A festive dog sings “City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, smelling pee everywhere…” before being shut down. Too early for Christmas songs? Maybe. Too late for this gag? Never.
#20 Reindeer Wellness Ad.
Santa’s reindeer pitch meal shakes mid-flight. “Speed it up, Santa!” one yells. This might be Metzger’s wildest one — and a perfect closer. Absurd, seasonal, and brilliantly timed.
Final Summery
If you’ve ever wondered what your cat is thinking, Scott Metzger’s cartoons are probably the closest thing to a translation. With a gift for humor that toes the line between sarcastic and sweet, his work captures the delightful ridiculousness of everyday pet life.
