Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 03, 2019

As if the Boys (or Goldie) will agree to that.

Hmmm, Lupin might have other plans

Two or three weeks? That means Goldie will be well enough to join the family for Christmas?

So much emotion from Goldie in the last panel: relief, thankfulness, peace. X

This means that Lupin will have to wait for 2 to 3 weeks for revenge!

She has on a hosptial gown!!!!!!! OMCat tooooo cute!

Goldie has already turned into a cuddle-fungus!

Did people check out The Woman’s instagram feed?

“Sneeze” has already turned into just “Sniff”.

I think that ‘sniff’ is totally un-related to the infection. ♥

The woman is nodding while Goldie is nodding off. She looks so sweet sleeping on the woman’s shoulder.

Keeping Goldie in the office and the boys out for three weeks? That plan sounds as though it is doomed already.

The boys most definitely will try to breach the office door. Hilarity shall ensue. Can’t wait!

OMC! That look of peace and safety as Goldie is draped over the woman’s shoulder does something to my insides…and apparently has infected my computer screen.

OT: Nushi and me

Oh, and I still haven’t read the comments from the last several days but I have to say I’m SO delighted everytime I see Dr. Man, especially since we know how long he’s been part of the story!

May everyone who is not feeling well, fighting pain, loss, loneliness, or feeling lost in this world be blessed with furry companions, and have a woman, a man and a Mr. Man who can help them become their best selves!

The way Goldie hugs the Woman in the last panel…be still my heart!

Goldie, make apologies to Lupin under the door.

Love Goldie’s little paw on the Woman’s arm in the third panel.

Poor exhausted Goldie’s going to sleep now.

I wonder if we are going to hear that Tommy and Beatrix are sneezing

A lot of cat books recommend a room with a screen door (yeah, right) for introducing new cats to resident cats but that would definitely not be a good idea in this case. I foresee a lot of under the door scratching and meowing. But, counting days, three weeks would put us right at Christmas Eve for the end of quarantine.

I love the way Goldie is looking at the Woman in panels 1 and 3. Such a bond already. <3

As long as Lupin doesn’t know about Goldie’s stay, we won’t see the ‘scowl’ on his face for the next couple of weeks.

Such lovely trust and peace in Goldie’s face in the last panel as she falls asleep on the Woman’s shoulder!

Off topic, Yum Yum assisted in the hemming of a pair of Paul’s slacks yesterday by a) pulling out the pins and b) going to sleep on top of said pants.

I like her little hospital gown.

I love the little hospital gown!

In panel four, given her experience with the Toddler and the Baby, I’ll bet the Woman is now gently swaying and rubbing Goldie on the back.

Dang-dratted eyes are out of focus!!! Pur wee, sma’ Goldie is finally Home!!! We call our “huggy” cats Snorglebutts, that’s Toddler-ese: snorgle is snuggle.

That Goldie! Such a cute cuddly girl.

And, of course, hand washing or sanitizer after visits.

oh the kitty hug… my Grizzy hugged me like that. I lost her this summer. This is the first time I’ve let myself mention it here. It hurts.

Don’t worry Georgia, the Mega Orb will keep Goldie and the boys separate from each other until time. Until then, I guess we’ll give attention to the boys and Goldie.

Here’s another story about the benefits of micro chipping. Just look at the man’s face. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/its-my-christmas-miracle-months-later-georgia-man-reunited-with-missing-cat-in-new-york/ar-BBXDoWX

Goldie in the last panel reminds me of my middle grandniece. She doesn’t so much hug you as melt all over you. <3 <3 <3

Goldie snuggling with the woman just makes my heart melt.

Quarantine is tough. Having upper respiratory infections in all the kittehs is worse. These next weeks are going to be an “E” ticket ride.

O.T. I got a much-needed cortisone shot in my knee yesterday and it’s amazing how much better my overall mood is, not to mention that I can walk more like a “normal” person. Yes, the shots are hurty, but it’s over quickly and the result is well worth it. Little aches and pains can gang up on us so much that relieving even one of them can make a huge difference! So this cold, gray Tuesday is a happy one for me. Many Orbsters suffer from various aches, pains, ills and stresses, and my early Christmas wish for today is that everyone can experience some improvement in at least one problem area. And extra purrs, prayers, and head bumps for Skipper, hope life will soon be back to normal for you and your family.

“Keep her separate from your other cats…”

Well, what could POSSIBLY go WRONG??!! :)

O.T. – we spent the weekend at a lovely b&b in Chestertown, MD. There was an ‘official’ greeter that came up to me when we were getting our stuff out of the car. A mini panther named Sgt Pepper aka Squeaky. A staff member saw me petting him and came over to tell me his story. He and his sidekick Mr. Poppy (a red tabby) had been ferals on the property, were trapped, neutered & returned to the inn. Mr P was still skiddish (we didn’t even see him until the next day) but Sgt Pepper did an about face and became very friendly & social. As it is a beautiful historical inn, they host a lot of weddings. Sgt Pepper decided he was needed to escort the brides down the aisle. He then sits beside the brides through the entire ceremony. He has done this so many times that the man that officiates the weddings has written him into the ceremony. I would love to see some of those wedding pictures!

My inferior screen is acting up again.

Attention all paws!

Cuteness alert! Cuteness levels have reached unprecedented highs! Cat your battle stations! Demand tummy rubs, hugs, and snuggle from your Humans immediately if not sooner! Give thanks to Cat for everything!

Bound to be a bit of a struggle to keep Puck from embracing Goldie and Lupin from extracting revenge upon her! I think Lupin’s basic good nature will win out in the end in the strip as it did in life!

Goldie’s kitty hug shows complete trust in the Woman! Now comes the big task: to keep the boys out of the office for 3 weeks, LOL!

Hi all. Discharged from hospital. Returning to NC tomorrow. Head hurts but otherwise intact. More details later when not typing on my phone

My Vlad will now sit on my lap and take his meds with minimal fuss. Gave it to him this morning as he laid on top of the sofa. And not on my lap.

So many wonderful details . . . one more: Goldie is sure rocking that eyeshadow in panel 4!

Look at that last panel. Goldie knows somebody loves her. That’s more than her old people did.

Off topic: D.C. Fontana

Perhaps this doesn’t belong here, but I know I’m not the only BCN fan who shares a love of Star Trek. I was saddened to read of the passing of D.C. Fontana, writer of many of my favorite Star Trek: TOS.

We recently rescued #20. She (?) was in a lumber yard by a bank near my work place. I’d seen her a few weeks ago, and wanted to trap & at least get her fixed. A week ago last Fri, I was able to set the trap, and had her within about 15 minutes. Got home to find someone had beaten us to the spay surgery. We put her in a cage downstairs in our guest room, and she’s adapting well. I was able to get just a little bit of a scratch in on the side of her neck this morning, and I think I heard the start of a purr tonight.
