I understand the idea behind letting a sleeping dog lie, but if there’s any animal that’s identified with sleep, it’s definitely cats.

I knew I wanted to play with that idea but that germ sat in my idea box, passed over week after week, until one day I heard “co-opt” on the morning news. Then this cartoon popped into my head.

So my idea box is one idea lighter now, but I’m happy I got this to finally work.
