Transcript:
Lupin: CN news investigative report: Why do open books make the best cat beds? Puck: Lupin, since the introduction of the printing press, cats the world over have taken great comfort in curling up with a good book. Puck: Literally. Elvis: A cat can command immediate attention just by lying down. Man: Elvis, think you could move, buddy? SCRITCH SCRITCH Elvis: Nope. PURR PURR Lupin: Paper is an excellent conductor of heat. A book in a sun spot... Lupin: Becomes the sweet spot. Man: ELVIS!! Elvis: THAT WAS 6 SCRITCHES. I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED 5. Puck: I enjoy the challenge of a tiny book.

I only get scratched when my other female realizes that I was using my hand instead of my foot; that or she remembered I was a male because she hates males.

Our cats are more modern, they prefer to stand or sit on our phones and remotes.

Cats have been upgrading to keyboards.

We don’t get a newspaper, but our cats do sit on books as well as the computer keyboards. Recently we received a promotional copy of the weekly paper, and I thought I’d spread it out and take a look. Immediately the cats came and sat on it. They’d never seen a newspaper before, but somehow they just knew! It’s an instinct.

Cute and true, by and large: Paper (being wood, really) is a good insulator, that’s why cats like it so much in the cold! But no respectable news outlet ever gets the science right, anyway!

Ah yes, many a fond memory of my old boys squabbling over who got “help” me read. Figaro’s favourite was actually “assisting” with the giant crosswords in the newspaper on the kitchen table :)

It’s universal, put a paper down for just a few seconds, and the cats immediately lie down on it! I love Lupin’s cute fangs as he lies on “the sweet spot”.

OMG Elvis is channeling my old cat Fluff Cat! FC could count to five, and one over meant band-aids.

Elvis’ facial expression in panel four is topped only by Lupin’s in panel 7…

One of my cats likes to burrow under the paper, then run all over the house, shedding pages as she goes…woe be to whomever hasn’t read the paper yet. That one gets to pick it all up, sort it into order, or hunt for the various articles…quite a job with a couple of sections..and funny to watch. She always looks at the mess and acts “surprised”.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Elvis look so happy. Until he’s over scritched enough of course. My cat always wanted to be between me and the book when I read in bed.

Hey Everyone, The Shelter Cats is now up over at the BCN website. Warning: Do not look at it if you’re anywhere you don’t want to be seen with tears in your eyes.

I goofed on today’s strip, I’m so sorry everyone! Typically at the end of the month I send in all the strips for the next month—and somehow last night I went to bed with that, “…There was something I was supposed to do…” feeling. Shot up in bed this morning with a gasp. I just sent today’s strip in, but it may not be posted until tomorrow. Yay for Friday strip? Nervous laughter…. I’m sorry.
The kicker: IT’S THE 100TH BREAKING CAT NEWS STRIP!!! Nooooooo, how did I do this?? Well… At least we’ll all never forget that time Georgia spaced on sending the 100th Breaking Cat News strip to the good folks at GoComics? MORE NERVOUS LAUGHTER, I’M SORRY.

Jingle Belle Katt will join me at the table to read the morning paper. At least, she sits on the sections I’m not reading to make sure they don’t escape…
