The Cat Alarm Has No Weekend: four-panel cat comic where a man silences his alarms but his cat wakes him by opening the curtains and sitting on him

Template guide

Panel-by-panel breakdown

This template has no printed dialogue. The story is told entirely through the artwork, so each panel below is described from the image.

  1. Panel 1

    A bedside table crowded with alarm clocks of different colours, all ringing with lightning-bolt marks. A sleepy young man in plaid pyjamas reaches out from under a blue duvet to press one.

  2. Panel 2

    He hides under the duvet with only his eyes showing as a fluffy grey and white cat steps onto the pillow beside him.

  3. Panel 3

    The cat stands on its hind legs and pulls the curtain aside with a paw; bright morning light spills into the room while he peeks out over the covers.

  4. Panel 4

    Sunlit bedroom. The cat sits upright on his chest with its eyes closed and chin raised, very proud, while he lies flat with a resigned face.

Questions about The Cat Alarm Has No Weekend

Why so many alarm clocks?

They set up the joke: he can silence every machine, but not the cat.

Is there any text?

No. Ringing marks and the cat's smug face carry the joke.

Can I use my own cat?

Yes; giving it distinctive markings makes the story feel personal.
