Setup seems a bit drawn out, in my opinion, but it's a cute strip.

"Eh?" Yeah, funny strip. I always wondered what happened to that cat girl. I kinda like her even if she has no personality of her own.

Her name is Rebbecca. She was a close friend of Felicia but when Felicia started doing the whole goth and/or shaving thing, they started drifting apart. Years later she would wonder what could have been had she reached out to Felicia. Later, in college she experimented with heavy rock and light drugs and eventually became an orthodontist in Detroit. She lives with her partner Sam.
This is one of the few strips in which it's acknowledged that the characters are animals. That fact is usually pretty incidental to what they do, but when scientists started cloning sheep, this gag kind of became too obvious not to do.
A lot of final panels from this period are not so much punchlines as kind of... wrapups. Ozy or somebody will say the equivalent of "yeah, and that's that," like he does here. It's something I got better about avoiding, later.

I always found it a little jarring when it was shown they were animals as related to real world stuff like this. It just seems awkward.
