			[[Mike]] just wants a quick nap after a sleepless night. What he gets is a stowaway in [[Lucy]]'s bag, two soaking-wet friends at the door, and a household determined to speak entirely in cat and dog idioms.

			== Trivia & observations ==
			* Practically every line of dialogue is a cat or dog idiom, well over two dozen of them across just two pages. A few even happen literally on-panel: Yashy really is the cat out of the bag, and it really is raining cats and dogs outside.<ref name=":c12.1p1" />

			* '''[[Puppy Love]]''': The next chapter keeps the animal puns going in its title, but that's the only thing it carries over. Its story is its own, with Mike suddenly buried in love letters.
