My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #955

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #955 from the issue of August 11, 2025, a couple opens their door to find their front stoop infested with rats who are happy, relaxed, and friendly. The woman speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Maggie Larson.

"I mind that they're having a better time than we are."


These captions didn't climb high enough:

"Maybe we should have kept the cat."
"You did say stoops were good for the community."
