He's a leopard, despite in the comic he's called a cat; they should have more confidence with the water than cats. More, Jata already took a shower... That's valid for Sabrina, would be curious see if she'll have a reaction about that once out the water. But maybe she's one of the few cats which like to stay in water.

Don't forget that he was also washing himself on the balcony. At least, it looked like this...

I just stood up.

Cesco wrote:I don't believe so, surely there he was doing gymnastic. Wash yourself out a balcony is so weird, regardless of anything... Do gymnastic in that way not really, instead, it's so also for yoga practicing.

I know he did his exercises, but imagine he would habe a sponge in his hand, it's really lookig like washing.

And I love the last panel, "what would Sabrina do?" vs "what would Spo do?"

Fido's a hero and Jata's sort of a gentleman. He gets 'ladies first' so knows you have to save her first - then try and get him up.

As for panels 3&4, I think this is what's going through Fido's mind...(note to self: PG!)
Panel 3: Sabrina is always bringing me small animals to take care of, so she cares for others more than herself. Does that mean she would want me to save Jata first?
Panel 4: Nah, Sabrina is more valuable than some small animal.
(I kinda think Spo is Rick's way of illustrating the point, since we haven't been specifically introduced to any of the other small animals Sabrina has dumped on Fido.)

I mean the guys a jerk, but don't let him die. That's kinda permanent.

Though Fido should still save Sabrina first because she's been down there the longest, and Jata's still got a little while before the lack of oxygen starts to cause brain damage.

Well, I didn't mean intentionally let him die, I'm just saying Fido should rescue Sabrina first. (I'm pretty sure Rick won't kill him off, ether the wolves/k9s will dive after him, Keene can have the pool drained or Fido will rescue him).

I know you are all probably tired of my Pete theories but let me just put one more on the table...

If Pete is Jata, or put the bug in Jata's ear to go to Babylon Gardens....might his interest not be in Sabrina, but in Fido as a avatar? After all, there was a Fido off-putting figurine in that shot during the trial in heaven segment, would this suggest that Fido was/is on Pete's short list?

Jata completely caused and is totally responsible for his current condition. He made his bed, now he's drowning in it.

Sabrina comes first.

I agree with you that Sabrina would/should come first in Fido's mind. I'm not sure that Spo was so innocent, but that's another topic entirely.
