Does anyone else think that Snowball II gets WAY too little screen time? The family is always (hyberbole, yes) doing something with SLH, but Snowball gets virtually nil. How about a show that actually DOES something with him/her!

Digital Online Philomath ([email]) Is it SO hard to come up with a relevant subject line like this? Is it?!

Why oh why is my cat dead? Couldn't that Chrysler have hit me instead?

Howzabout an episode to see how many ways there are to skin a cat?

I've found about twenty-eight myself.

In alt.tv.simpsons, on the "Snowball II gets too little screen time" thread, Digital Online Philomath wrote:

The problem with this is that, on close inspection, we can see that Snowball II is a cat. Dogs make better story subjects because the are more demonstrative emotionally -- we can see how SLH feels when Bart tells him to go away in "Dog of Death (8F17)," so we care more about what happens to him. People, rightly or wrongly, perceive cats as aloof and indifferent. It's harder to generate an involving story about a cat. Not that it can't be done, but with a show already full of interesting characters, the writers may have decided it isn't worth the trouble.

Yes, you are right. It seems they've done the same with Maggie too. Still, at least ONE episode would be nice.
