Looks like Puck forgot to tell Elvis and Lupin he was heading out for a video party. Which might be just as well, or the headline would be Local Cat Is Out Until HOW LATE?! And Making Us Wait Up For Him.
On another note, the scrawl has me giggling SO much and wishing Mom wasn’t sleeping right now. I wanna laugh, dangit!
I wonder what Baba will have to say about Burt’s falling asleep on the job? As a former reported, she knows the importance of the guy at the control panel.
Hmm, Elvis kind of reminds me a bit of Lou Grant from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. Is Elvis the de facto “Mews Director” of BCN or simply a senior reporter?? I wonder if Angus ever had the same issues with “Mouse”? Nice continuity by Georgia of going from Jules-y to August!
I was telling my partner about the characters and he said “So Baba Mouse lives in a hut with chicken legs?” I said “You’re thinking of Baba Yaga.” “You just said she lives in the old chicken coop. That’s a hut with chicken legs (and chickens) in it.” Dang!
I warned Alexandria that when she is picking classes at college this fall, no tough classes first thing in the morning. You really don’t want Calculus at 8:00 a.m.
Once my Kitty was typing away on my keyboard and removed the cap for the letter C. It wouldn’t go back on, and one could no longer type the letter C! This was a problem bexause many words use that letter. I had to take the xomputer to the Genius Bar at the loxal mall to have it fixed. I assume she was attempting to type “cat.”
OK any production involving cats must experience this regularly. I suggest an entire chapter in the HR manual with appropriate procedure to recover in such expected circumstances
Actually, this is the sort of ‘work’ day I have always imagined for a cat newsroom. Snoozing, napping, and grooming, punctuated by frenzied bulletins between meals. Maybe the occasional feature, or investigative reporting with sporadic tussles and puffed tails. I mean in cat terms Elvis, Puck and Lupin are workaholics!

This apparently is shortly after yesterday’s Elvis 5 AM routine.

Well, Elvis, if you want to know what’s going on, you should have been watching the archives last night too!

Okay, so what were Puck, Burt, and Beatrix up to last night that Lupin and Elvis weren’t invited to?♥

Elvis being oblivious to reality doesn’t surprise me one bit, but Lupin on the other paw . . . shocking! ;p

Methinks Elvis is the perfect cat to spend his day writing said policy. (Said with love by someone who does write policies!)

Pucky’s eye mask! I’ve seen cats wrap their tails over their eyes while napping. I wonder how well that does at keeping out light?

I wonder if some cats watched videos under the influence of nip until the wee hours.

Elvis, think yourself lucky that Lupin is on duty as well. You don’t have to do it all by yourself.

Well, this is what happens when you watch videos all night.

Owl Mc Hooter had a barn
E I E I MEOW
And in the barn they watches video
E I E I MEOW
Here a meow, there a meow
All night watch video and then meow meow
Owl Mc Hooter had a barn
E I E I MEOW
…
A raccoons here and opossums there
And they was bugging everyone everywhere
A bug in a jar can’t fly afar
Unless one sets the lid ajar
But a mouse outta house sets him free and he flees.
It too late when the raccoons sees
Zoom zoom he flees
Zoom zoom he flies
Here a zoom zoom there a zoom zoom
Everywhere he zooms free
…
Owl Mc Hooter had a barn
E I E I MEOW
And in the barn they watches video
E I E I MEOW
A zzzzz-zzzzz here and a zzzzz-zzzzz there
Here a zzzz, there a zzzz,Naps em cats zzzzz-zzzzz…

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Welcome back to Egypt, Jules. How was your July vacation?
Jules: It was extra special this year, Your Majesty. I was with friends old and new.
The Queen: Well, we have a surprise for you. Ladies?
Enter Arachna, Sophititi, Maat-Tilda, and Adobe Style
Maat-Tilda: Jules, we would like to dedicate this July tapestry to your annual adventures.
Adobe Style: It will be on display in the Koffee Shop at the Afar Public Library and Koffee shop!
Jules: Oh, how lovely. Is this what you were working on the other day, Arachna?
Arachna: Yes. I decided to leave the little hole in it as part of your adventure.
The Queen: We’ll have the dedication ceremony a bit later. I understand Serfig-Aro has done wonders with the kitten trumpet class.
Maat-Tilda: That’s right. How many does he have in his class?
The Queen: I believe it’s seventy-six.
