Close Call
Posted on July 13, 2015 by Celesse
Any cat owner knows the most alarming noise you can hear is the "I'm about to barf" hurk-ing, which means you have precious seconds to find them and toss them off whatever they're about to ruin.

    My dogs do that too, I always try and throw them onto a rug so they don’t puke on my floor

    1. FinDefaulted

      Really? Cats usually try to puke on anything other than a floor. Isn’t it just easier to clean up the floor rather than having a rug filled with puke?

      1. Solus

        Not really. You can throw a rug in the wash but when it comes to the floor you’ll have to use a mop.

        1. Ezio the Zoroark

          I not if its carpet. Then you have to use a carpet washer machine.

        2. Solus

          you mean one which covers the entire floor? Well obviously I’m not talking about one of those! XD

        3. Kaz

          Well they said rug not carpet. They’re two different words.

      2. Boo the robot

        Liar my cat never pukes on anything and I got her a week ago.

        1. Freynir

          You don’t have any experience with cats ;-p
          When it comes to vomit/hairball, they get most strategic position (higher=better) and create the rainbow on most expensive clotes

      3. ponger999

        I want to throw up whenever I see E.T. for the Atari

    2. steamcrusader

      by dog has an adorable habit of getting into bed with me. As in, under the covers. And of course the one time I let her actually sleep in the bed with me, this is the sound I wake up to

      1. catboy

        if you woke up later, you would wake up not to a sound, but a smell.

  2. Claudandus

    @Samantha: Please make a Comic with Satoru Iwata
    R.I.P. :(

    1. Don Slyone

      she’s already done that: you can see it on tapastic
      R.I.P :(

    2. TwilightMidna

      I haven’t been on the internet except youtube the day he died so when one of my favorite and most energetic youtubers said he had died it was like a punch to the gut

  3. Cyndaquazy

    What really gets me is the fact that, despite my house being 90% hard-wood floors, my cat somehow manages to always be on the 10% that’s carpeted when it starts hurking.

    1. Kitten

      I had a dog and while he never puked (Except the one time he over ate some. But he cleaned that up himself) He did seem to like to poop on the basement steps.

    2. Met

      Yep. My apartment is almost all vinyl flooring, and they run into the bedroom, which is carpet, to throw up. CATS.

  4. landvaettr

    Lol gross I hate it when they do that. Awesome comic btw. I always watch but never comment so there you go. ^_^’

  5. Button Mash

    Should have gotten glitch to do it. Would have been easier.

    1. Ezio the Zoroark

      And cuter. :3

  6. ROJO Y NARANJA

    I WAS WONDERING WHEN MALCOLM WAS GOING TO FIND OUT THE GAMES GAMERCAT & GLITCH BOUGHT (OR IF HE EVER WAS GOING TO FIND OUT IT)

    1. ShadowsofTime

      I know, I don’t know about Malcolm, but I would DEFINITELY have noticed if there were games I didn’t buy.

      1. chrisunrau13

        I wouldn’t mind. I would just have more games.

        1. Recoherent

          Yeah. XD never look a gift horse in the mouth or something

  7. Mythril Sage

    When my cat starts hurking, it doesn’t matter if it’s the dead of night and stone cold asleep, I’m up and running while thinking “Oh no, where’s that cat!?” It’s like the most dreaded sound someone could imagine.

  8. ColdFusion

    Only one thing worse than when you can’t find the cat hurking.. and that’s when the next morning you can’t find where they puked. then later you’re moving out and you find tons of dried puke under your bed
    that’s a fantastic animation BUT the purist in me was hoping you’d draw his knees slamming into his stomach, as cats do to make themselves puke

  9. Jordan

    I’m FAR too familiar with this sound. Oddly enough, it’s usually coming from the veteran feline. My kitten rarely barfs.

  10. Ezio the Zoroark

    Is GaMERCat gonna play Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse?

    1. LegendOfLink

      THAT. WOULD. BE. AWESOME!!!

  11. ianolivia

    ET 2600 actually isn’t as bad as people say it is. It’s still horrible, but not as bad as it could have been. Just look at Sonic Boom.

    1. Ezio the Zoroark

      They should have stopped making Sonic games after Sonic Heroes came out. After that, things just started getting dumb. Heroes was the last Sonic game I ever enjoyed. Aside from the SA 2 for GameCube.

      1. N008333rp00f

        Call me a heretic if you will but I still like Mouseman more.

      2. ianolivia

        I liked Sonic Generations.

        1. HimuraMizuki

          well the only problem with the recent sonic games is that Sega makes the group that is making the games push it out before they are even done with the game which is the reason why the are bad

  12. Lucky

    Good joke, but I don’t find ET the worst game of all time. Poor Warshaw, he also did Yar’s Revenge.

  13. X4M 9

    The struggle is real

  14. GrayFeline

    I don’t classify that as a “game” per se. It’s more of a…simulation…

  15. BooyakaShowgun

    Ever since the announcement of the We Bare Bears show on Cartoon Network, I fell in love the idea of turning underground comics into animated cartoons. Gamercat has got to be next.

    1. JokerJay779

      We Bare Bears? Never heard of it.

  16. Canis familiaris

    Please don’t turn Gamercat into a cartoon Cartoon Network ruins everything it touches now-a-days. Just look at all of the idiotic shows they have shown. For example, Fish Hooks. I’m sorry for stepping on any toes.

    1. Chris

      Dude……….. Fish Hooks was made by Disney Channel

  17. Animegx43

    Fuck. Now I need to clean my monitor.

  18. JokerJay779

    Looking at that game makes me wanna barf.

  19. JokerJay779

    If I were Gamercat’s owner I would let it slide and not look these gift games in the mouth.

  20. TwilightMidna

    what the… FREE GAMES DON’t QUESTION IT JUST ENJOY

  21. GaMERGIRL

    he just had a copy of E.T lying around? A copy of E.T just lying around not burning, being crushed or being smashed? Just lying there?

    1. Anon

      You could interpret it as a volatile, influential object. Even without an assigned purpose, items of such unspecified power are leverage that can’t be tapped just yet; best to have them stored and guarded.

      Like an answer waiting for a question. Today’s question was quickbarf.

    2. nobody

      fuck you for even suggesting destroying a game because you think it’s “bad”

  22. Sonicdash

    Man, about time I got around to catch up on all of the comics.

    My cat Sassy will throw up if you let her eat too much, you got to feed her just right.

  23. BlackStealth

    I still own an Atari and pong along with 20 different game systems. My super Nintendo will be working when it turns 50 while my xbox 360 will be dead LOL.

  25. CrankyD

    E.T. is actually a decent game if you read the instructions and know what you’re doing. There are far far worse games on the 2600, E.T. isn’t even in the top 50 worst.

  26. nobody

    WOW SO FUNNY, NOBODY’S EVER DONE AN ET JOKE BEFORE!!!! WORST GAME EVER AM I RIGHT????? (never mind all the hundreds of fucking atari games were garbage and you could count the number of good ones on one hand)

      Dude, calm down. It’s just a comic. If ET doesn’t float your boat, insert whatever game you think is the most horrible one.

      1. Ezio the Zoroark

        just play some Majoras Mask

        1. Anony-mouse

          Majora isn’t that bad, it’s just dark, scary, and hard.
          If Mario Kart Tour existed, they wouldn’t even have TIME (oh wait) for a sound.

  27. PathOfTheAwesomePie

    Oh my glob that’s hilarious!! xD

    That last panel is a down-to-earth great gif lolz

  28. Rachel

    That is definitely one of the finest animated about-to-barf cats.

  29. SuperDoom1

    I like ET! Really bad games are Sonic Free Riders and Flag Capture.

  30. Rodrigo

    It’s like a real life QTE

  31. Loyalmoon

    Don’t worry GaMER CaT, I throw up every time I see that Atari E.T game art too.

  32. Ashonai

    My cat does that all the time! Only it sounds more like coughing and wheezing than “hork-a”.

  33. I love gamercat

    Um…
    WHAT, NO GAME CAN BE THAT BAD!!!(unless its my little ponies)

  34. Pikakid

    ET? I’d puke too.

  35. Frozo

    the dread ET he spoke of the dreaded taboo like calling link zelda burn the witch named annoying fairy!

  36. Lock@Shock@Barrel

    My cat threw up when I read the fourth panel to him. Not kidding

  37. -Sailboat-

    xD

  38. Abbykatie

    I don’t agree with Gamercat. The worst game ever is hello kitty birthday adventures

    1. Ozzysister1

      Yepsy doodle

  39. Abbykatie

    Come on guys, who would ever buy a HELLO KITTY game?

  40. ThatRetroGamer

    That definitely would make me want to puke.

  41. Ozzysister1

    I don’t even know what ET is but It must be bad. For some reason I searched “cat cartoons” on the internet ( I’m a cat lover BUT I HAVE NO CATS ) and gamercat showed up. Whoever did these is REALLY good at comic making. Now if you excuse me I need to get ready for my tests
