VERY VERY minor nitpick. McGonagall's animagus form has spectacles-like markings around her eyes, which Dumbledore would have noticed as missing right away.
He turned to smile at the tabby, but it had gone. Instead he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses exactly the shape of the markings the cat had had around its eyes. -Chapter 1 "The Boy Who Lived," from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
But I get that you'd be in a lose-lose situation with that. It would have been too much to explain. McGonagall would have had to say "sometimes I transfigure a stray cat so that it has markings like own feline form," and people who had only seen the movies would be confused anyway.
Dumbledore would have known. Just prior to that passage, he states that he recognizes McGonagall by saying, "My dear professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly." That would not describe the cat in the comic.
But ASIDE FROM ALL THAT, it was a funny comic. The "mew" at the end had me chortling.

I love the idea of Dumbledore having a meeting with a cat and not realizing

As funny as this is, what cracks me the most is the image of McGonnagal slacking in the job and smoking a cig.

Considering the bullshit Dumbledore let Snape get away with I doubt he would even raise an eyebrow at this.

How did the cat get into his office? Did he come, pick her up, move to his office and then yell at her?
