Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 30, 2022

As robin said yesterday “the wall is doomed!”

Oh Puck! It never pays to underestimate Lupin! You should know this by now!

Does Pucky honestly believe that, or is he covering?

If she’s going to “fix” this tomorrow, we need to get in there today!

“We’re gonna need a bigger bucket of spackle!”

I WANT to see that ROOM! It holds the fate of not selling the BPH!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Burt gently slams his face into his own keyboard and wishes he wasn’t the only boy cat with brain cells.

But Georgia, we need to KNOW what is out there.

Elvis’s tail twitch in panel 1. LOL!

The Human’s lack of curiosity is worrying. After all, if the offices ever used that room, they’d have heard them, wouldn’t they.

YAY!!!!! MESS THAT WALL UP, LUPIN!!! It’ll be easier if you go invisible! ❤

Stop tempting fate, Puck!

I would love to watch Invisible Lupin take down the wall, but I’m afraid I’m distracted by Pucky Beans! SQUEEEEEE!!!

The Woman has the right idea. Seal up that door, so that no-one can release the eldrich abomination that lurks behind it.

Silly woman! How long have you had this clowder and you still haven’t figured out how much destruction they can do, individually or together, in less than eight hours? That wall is a goner!

Wondering if it will be caffeinated or decaffeinated Lupin who messes up the wall. I say give him some high test coffee and see what he does.

::fuse is lit and begins burning::

Recorded Voice: "Good morning, Mr. Lupin.

Your mission, Lupin, should you choose to accept it, is to mess up the Edwardian Wall Plaster and discover what is in the weird room with purple wallpaper.

As always, should you or any of your CN Force be caught, Elvis will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Lupin."

Tomorrow, eh? Well, it looks like the cats have their work cut out for them tonight. Bonne chance, mon ami.

I notice everyone is in pajamas, so we could be in for some nighttime adventures this week, likely starring everyone’s favorite sometimes invisible cat and possibly his investigative reporter frenemy who surprisingly has been absent for most of this.

I foresee a great deal of noise at 3AM, as Lupin destroys a wall, Goldie picks a lock, and the door opens.

Tiny rubbles (tiny rubbles)

From the wall (from the wall)

Make Lupin happy (make him happy)

As he makes more fall (makes more fall)

Tiny rubbles (tiny rubbles)

Will soon be all over

What a feeling that he’s gonna

Mess it UP, he loves to crime

So here’s to adventure cat

And here’s to hope for what may be

And mostly here’s a toast

To destructivity

So here’s to a peek inside

That Lupin may provide

And here’s to bliss

That spackle cannot hide

Leon Pober – Tiny Bubbles – Don Ho

While the family’s asleep the cats will play. At least ours does.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Louie-Nour: I hear you’re working on a Comfy Chair design, Iron Glove.

Iron Glove: That’s right, Louie. There’s a legend of a room in the Very Good Pyramid with all sorts of comfortable furniture.

Thomios: And you want to re-create a room for relaxation?

Iron Glove: Even a shoutmunk needs some peace and quiet some of the time.

Louie-Nour: Let’s get Elvis-Anum and Wally and head over to the Artisans’ workshop.

Thwump!

Thomios: Looks like there may be a complication.

Louie-Nour: You mean…

Thomios: Yep, Lupinium is back from Afar!

Elvis….Elvis on the wall,

Ain’t you got no sense at all?

Can’t you tell that walls be plastered?

Get off that wall you stupid………Kitty.

It’s Lupin who will be plastered by tomorrow.

Did you forget that Lupin exists again, Puck?

Or did you two plan this?

In-your-face toe beans!! But what I love even more is Puck being held like a doll-baby. Tiny squeee.

Lupin: “IMMA GONNA WRECK IT!”

I think I dreamed about the cats getting into the room and exploring the sealed off addition, but I don’t really remember any of it.

I would not be too concerned about the plaster. It is the possibility of lead paint that would worry me.

Dearest orbsters,I want you all to know that you make me really happy. I love your comments and replies, no one is ever hostile, and you all provide snoot books and ankle rubs when needed. I’m really glad the bcn commenter are so good.

I’m old. Who knows how much time I’ve got left! If I croak before this (or Swan Eaters) finishes out, I’ma join Freddie and the RCO crew and haunt the heck out of BCN! And I’ve got 13 cats, 9 dogs and a pigeon waiting by the bridge who would follow me to the Big Pink House and beyond!

Talk about bad timing! I was not foolish enough to be eating or drinking anything while reading the strip, oh no! However, a work call came in just as I was giggle-snorting over “DON’T TRY TO EAT WALLS”. Poor guy on the other end must have been a bit confused at my unsuccessful attempt to suppress my joviality.

Too much talk of horkage—Inky has apparently been reading over my shoulder and was motivated to demonstrate…

Half an hour later:

.

“Honey, why does my browser history have search results for plastic explosives?”

Maybe the door to the dumb waiter will mysteriously be left open and they can go up into the attic to look for a way into the addition from up there.

OT: good thoughts for Purry Mason

Maybe a few more kitties should be put in the bedroom!!!

Wonder if it contains asbestos. There’s lead paint in there for sure.

LOOK ALIVE, PEOPLE !! We’re on borrowed time here, so we need to move fast and quiet, since it’s going to be night. NO EXPLOSIVES!!! * engaging ninja mode *

Kittens are not trash!

Puck, may I introduce you to Lupin, cat of adventure?

I am not surprised.

OT: Settling in nicely.

How is your real crazy kitty doing today ?

Monroe is settling in nicely. He is fearless! He even barely startles. When the other cats walk up to him, he asks to sniff noses, and lets them sniff his hindquarters. I took a bath last night (with too many bubbles), and I am riddled with tiny red dots from his piton-claws that he uses for kneading and climbing Mt. Meowmie. More pics of the little baby are here. https://twitter.com/FreyjaRN/status/1564570457180758016

OT: Prayers needed

Puck may be the proverbial good boy, but he wants to know what’s on the other side of that wall too!

Those professional news presenters are always trying to break through the “fourth wall”. If it takes getting plastered, they will do it.
