Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 02, 2018

Puck with the Groucho Marx glasses is hysterical and inspired!!!

Georgia’s signature is beautifully placed and it took me a couple of times before I saw a certain tail sticking up

Don’t forget to steal some toast, boys.

Lupin looks like a startled squirrel while Puck reminds me of my late Bagheera’s “oh don’t mind me” routine. At least he never tried the Groucho Marx disguise, LOL. Stay classy, Puck!

Bacon and tomato sandwiches on toast slathered with mayo!

I can’t blame them at all. Bacon is the amazement.

And Lupin didn’t have to become invisible this time either.

I have read this many times in the original and it STILL makes me laugh!

I never had a cat that was overly impressed with bacon. Butter, yes; cereal milk, YES; bacon, if you drop it-I’ll eat it-but otherwise-meh.

This is priceless!

Elvis is turning philosophical in his defense.

That’s right Lupin. Go big or go back to the News Desk.

Strategic placement is 90% of the steal Puck.

Wow, the Woman and the Man are yelling. That doesn’t happen very often. But the provocation – loss of half the bacon – is immense. Plus Lupin might need a facial due to the bacon grease. And his paws wiped. Oh heck just give him another bath.

The disguise isn’t working, Puck.

Lupin’s huge eyes and puffy tail. I can’t stand it. I’m sure I’ll be snickering all day.

My panel-by-panel thoughts:(Panel 1) Uh-oh. (Panel 2) Hope you make it Puck! (Panel 3) No comment (Panel 4) Same to you Elvis! [see panel 2] (Panel 5) Elvis so funny! (Panel 6) What’s Puck got on his eyes?! (Panel 7) Took me two looks to see the tail. (Panel 8) Jackpot! (Panel 9) True.

Elvis can do his timeout on the train to Buttertown.

Is Puck reading the Op/Ed page?

Hope Puck gets a piece of bacon – he’s a good boy!

BTW love that egg cup!

And the steam curled up into a Heart. That’s Sweet Georgia!

This one SHOULD make the Top 5 GoComics! Give Georgia her due!

Why am I the only one repulsed by the sugar, salt, and fat conglomeration that is bacon? The only thing that makes it tasty is the smoke. And I can add that to anything.

And now you know why the platter of bacon goes into the cold oven or the microwave until we are ready to sit down at the table.

We’re in the process of teaching Blackjack NO, DOWN and OFF without using a squirt bottle. Yesterday when I turned my back and saw him on the counter eyeballing the cheese I was going to add to my eggwhites, he looked at me and beat feet out of the kitchen. He’s learning.

Will Puck get some? I hope!

Today is the big day. Cleaning all the carpets in the house. It’s going to be a challenge.

Not only do i have a bit of back pain already, yesterday i caught two fingers in a pinch point of my garage door.

Not only am i going to be cleaning all the carpets in the house single handedly, i’m going to be doing it (as much as possible) with a single hand.

:-J

Wish me luck!

Thanks to all who left good wishes and advice for giving medication yesterday. He did eat a tiny bit of food but still won’t eat much. I’m afraid he’s now come to associate food with pain and is avoiding it. I will try again later today. The one medicine has a bitter taste so the vet said to offer food right after I give him that medicine and he might eat it just to get the bitter taste out of his mouth. Also, I will try to get some liquid food or maybe some baby food that I can put on my finger for him to lick off.

As for today’s strip, that bacon looks seriously undercooked, almost raw in fact. I like my bacon crispy and somebody upthread who mentioned bacon and tomato sandwiches has got me craving one. Not on toast, though. I prefer my sandwich bread untoasted.

I better go, I hear thunder approaching and we’ve lost electricity several times the last few days even without thunderstorms.

Yay!! The strip that birthed my avatar! When I need to introduce somebody to BCN I always point them to the “bacon strips” (hah!) The boys win a new fan every time!

Pucky in a fake nose and glasses. Elvis contemplating existence, and Lupin being invisible until he reaches the bacon….Could the Boys be any cuter?

Thank you all for the condolences yesterday on the passing of Jack. Here he is in my profile. As you can see, fully belly rub mode!

I believe yesterday was, International Bacon Day! So, I had four pieces of thin sliced, maple bacon…My male cat, Cassidy, doesn’t care for it. But my girl, Tigger, loves it!

Bacon makes you yell so loud the deaf cat can hear you…

Predation.

Me thinks the bathroom will be full of visitors this morning to afternoon

“BCN” & “bacon”: coincidence or conspiracy? Special report at 11!

See Kitty Gaga from the “Hall of Cats” episode of Welcome to Creepyville:

Bacon the siren song of people and pets alike.

Does no good to yell at Lupin.

Lupins eyes!!!! <3

Puck should trade in the Groucho glasses & nose for a leather helmet & goggles and rev up his motorcycle – a vintage Italian Pancetta.

And we have Labs along with the cats. Bacon was difficult today. BACON!!!!!

The big draw with our tribe is ham. Baked ham, “raw” ham, fried ham, boiled ham, sugar cured, black forest, it makes no never mind.

I’m really glad we are about to eat breakfast. Unfortunately, today it’s eggs and chorizo and beans instead of bacon.

KITTEN UPDATE

So much for supervised. That didn’t last long. We’re back to leaving the screen door open during the day, closed up only when we go to bed. The taste of the house is too much. Elvis sits and scratches on the screen. A disharmonic minor key serenade, like a cat walking only on the black keys.

So, the door is open and oddly enough, the unescorted forays are limited. We think. Elvis has also discovered Lisa’s loft. They venture out into the living room but are still very skittish. ZOOM under the sofa into the bathroom or whatever is in the direction kitten is pointed at the moment of real or perceived ALERT!

Both kittens have settled in enough with the giant humans to have stopped the single hissss when we enter the bathroom. They have also mostly stopped skittering away or stepping back when we reach in for rubbies. It is so easy to forget that they are still only a few weeks away from feral and those instincts are very near the surface.

We have progressed to wanting to tussle with the Giant Rubby Hand. Belly rubs can now turn into mild rabbit kicks and tiny gentle little gnarr gnarr nibbles only to suddenly revert to plain old rubbies. This is an area we need to be careful with. We don’t want the gentle wrestle to get too energetic. That is the path to blood….usually mine.

FLASH: Kitten Hurricane.

As I was typing the kittens were in the shoe jungle at the front door, sniffing and rolling amongst the aromatic flora of work boots and laces. Lewis (who are these little a-holes and why are they getting my attention) was watching intently. Closer than usual, no hissing at all, getting to know you, getting to know all about you, getting to….CELL PHONE RING TONE!!!!! Scatter, run for your lives.

With a great whirl of claws and tails the shoe rug is a jumble, the kittens are in the bathroom and a startled Lewis has caught the wave and is suddenly on the other side of the room with that look that says “what? I meant to do that.”

Happy International Bacon Day, everyone!

OMC I love bacon! I know that seems odd for a vegetarian, but it’s true. I sometimes explain it by categorizing bacon as a condiment! Not that it matters but I am vegetarian more for texture reasons..

This is a video of Elvis and Puck “helping” the man with ankle reinforcement while he is trying to make bacon that Georgia posted on her facebook page some time ago. https://www.facebook.com/GeorgiaDunnStudio/videos/2088210731508445/

To me, it looks like Puck has all four legs whilst being carried by the man in panel four. There may be something else going on, that I am not seeing.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And a hearty LOL for Lupin!

Posting WAAYYYY late, but would you believe that I dreamt a out bacon last night? Very thinly sliced, oddly shaped, but definatly bacon! (At least, in my dream). I was trying to peel it apart to cook it, and the cats were wanting some NOW – SO unlike real life! :-}

Weird.

Puck is indeed a most handsome fellow.

I always feel guilty eating bacon, because pigs are awesome.
