The fridge hates me

As a result of doing these daily comics, I end up staying up late a lot of nights. Usually each night from my desk where I draw the comic to the computer where I colour it I stop by the fridge to grab a drink. and no matter how many times I tell myself not to look at the fridge when I open it, I still end up staring into that little light. And this time it wasn't much different, except for one small thing. This time, both the cat and dog decided they wanted food from the refrigerator at the same time. So as soon as I opened it, a couple black and brown streaks came flying towards the fridge. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem as I'd have just closed the door and reprimanded them, but as it happened this time I was directly in their flight path ( I don't think a single paw touched the ground at any point. ) and blind from staring directly into a light which seems to be the equivalent of a human bug zapper. This makes me wonder how many other people's pets seem bound and determined to kill them. I'm becoming convinced that there may just be a great conspiracy to kill off all of human kind on the parts of our domesticated animals. And the cats are surely leading the movement. But this will the be last time they take me from behind with surprise, because tomorrow I'm going to install rear view mirrors on my fridge. I would suggest the elderly do this as well. They could even use them for other purposes, like not running me over in the grocery store parking lot when they back their cars out.
