Sometimes ya just gotta let these darn fool cartoon and comics characters learn a lesson for themselves...
Consider MARCH OF COMICS #24 Felix the Cat (1949)...
Silly cat! Maybe if you stopped somewhere around Virginia, you'd have saved yourself - and your FEET - lots of trouble. But, you know how cats are... All or nothing!
To his cat-credit, he stops complaining and does something about it...
But, what he does... OH, WHAT HE DOES!
NO, FELIX! DON'T! ...THINK IT THROUGH FIRST!
THERE'S STILL TIME TO AVOID DISASTER!
I CAN SEE IT COMING A MILE AWAY... CANT YOU?
A LITTLE HEAT AND SUNBURN IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT AWAITS YOU!
LAST CHANCE! I'M WARNING YOU!
OH, WAIT... I'M SITTING HERE IN 2021, AND THIS COMIC WAS PUBLISHED IN 1949 - AND, TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT, IT REPRINTS THIS FELIX NEWSPAPER STRIP FROM 1932...
HE CAN'T HEAR ME! HE CAN'T HEAR ME!
FELIX! FEEE-LIIIIX! NOOOOOOO!
I'M SORRY, OLD FRIEND... I CAN DO NAUGHT BUT WATCH IN HORROR, AS NATURE TAKES IT COURSE! I'M SO SORRY!
THIS IS IT!
OOOHHHH! I CAN'T LOOK!
NOOOOOOO!
OH, FELIX... BEING A CAT, I THOUGHT YOU'D KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT BIRDS!
BUT NO! YOU'RE IN FOR A RATHER RUDE AWAKNING!
IN FACT, YOU MAY EVEN WAKE UP "A CAT OF A DIFFERENT COLOR"!
Any old CAR knows THAT!
...It's SNOW on that car, folks... what do you think I am?
While Felix is washing-off in a nearby creek, we'll end with a link to my GCD Index for this issue!

I like bird songs, but all those birds together have got to be *extremely* loud... I don't know how Felix stands them...
Of course, when he wakes up, the noise will be the least of his problems... Let's hope there's a body of water nearby, for Felix's sake... Oh, wait. Cats hate water.
Well, stinks to be you, Felix. In more ways than one, I might add!
Sergio:
On the plus side, however, when he wakes up, no one will accuse him of being a “bad luck BLACK CAT”!
