*its (sorry if the first comment is a grammar nazi, but someone needed to point this out ^_^)
“It’s” is a contraction of “it is” and it’s correct in this context. The genitive case would be “its”.

it’s is correct here. Try saying it is weird, sound right, ok, put in the “‘”.
Sorry, but you’re wrong. The “its” here is the possesive of “it” (for the cat), not the short form of “it is”.
No it’s not. Not in that sentence.
yep, I meant in the second panel 🙂
“A cat who’s aware of it is weird behaviour.” Nope.
Oops! Good catch. Will fix.
Or both! = D
Never mind the grammar police. I thought the comic was funny. Especially the first panel.
*LIKE*
I’m typing from inside my own box right now!
And by box do you mean cubicle?
And somebody mentioned it a long time ago, so now every time there’s a Bug with overalls and/or a mustache, I hear it in Scruffy the Janitors’ voice (from Futurama) in my head.
If you look at the first panel without the caption, it looks like he calls dibs on the kid not on the box. lol
I’m just like this. There are so many boxes at where I work, I just can’t resist occasionally crawling into one, or putting one over my head.
