Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 10, 2024

The Lady should try the cat’s way to keep warm. If you have a problem, that’s the best way to vent…

Now i’m waiting for Lupin to start singing “Dancing on the Ceiling”. Or is that too obvious?

How are these cats old enough to know these songs? All our cat does is meow the tune to Pink Kitty Club by Chappell Roan.

Just so long as they don’t go all Olivia Newton John on us…

Paging Weird Al. Paging Weird Al…

Elvis still baffled by this weird human habit of standing under hot water.

Sunday, Fun Day: Heaven know we all need it. No matter where we live.

I went to Georgia’s talk in Snohomish. I left at 1:15 PM fearing I would get lost, which I did, but managed to find my way to the library. The first thing I did was ask the reference librarian to print out a return route for me, as I feared finding my way to I-5 N after dark might be a problem. The directions were excellent, and going home was fine except for the nerve-wracking drive in the dark. It rained on the drive down and even more so on the drive home. The talk was not taped, sadly, and I was so busy listening that some things I wanted to remember to share here got lost in my brain somewhere. In particular, the heart Georgia sometimes puts next to her name has meaning. I think it was for the holiday arcs. Also, she is still surprised that no one caught the easter egg of the lantern until she mentioned it. The two slides she showed were Iggy and OZ being led to the BPH by Angus’ lantern and Tillie showing up with the lantern when Puck was trapped in the attic.

If it feels alright, maybe you can shower all night? Shall I leave you my tub?

My cat would only leave the wood burning stove in the fireplace to tell me that it needed more wood. She had thermostatically active ears and toe beans.

I suspect an alternative method for cats might involve sunny ledges.

Okay, what songs are being parodied here? I’ll be surprised if I actually know any of them.

Come on Woman, in the words of Ronnie Van Zant “Turn it up.”

Which cat fell into The Man’s shower? Date?

Mine lies on top of the duct vent on the floor so that she gets all of the hot air coming out of it.

I know what tune Puck and OZ are parodying in the last panel (I heard entirely too often when I worked at KMart :P), but what tune is the woman belting out to?

Ha! I get the same expression from my cat, Cassidy, that Elvis is giving the Woman in panel 5! That tells me all I need to know, about my singing abilities!

Olivia Newton-John: Sam

I hear you’re feeling cold now

So am I

I need a vent

So do you

What will we do?

Is there a vent that is free?

Are you feeling chilled just like me?

Longing for warmth to be?

…….

Oh, friend, friend

We’ll find a nice vent

Let’s curl up by the heat

We don’t need cold feet

Oh, friend, friend

We’ll find a nice vent

And curl up for a nap

And maybe a lap

Longing to warm up

Oh friend, friend,

We’ll find a nice vent!

We miss you, Olivia

I noticed the true OZ is getting much larger

Methinks Georgia Dunn has Foreigner on her mind. :-)

How am I the first person to note the incredible parodies of hit songs by Foreigner! Truly Weird Al level stuff here!

I want to add The Rolling Stones, “She’s So Cold” (“I’m on fire for her, and she’s so cold!”) But I need an Orbster to help me with some parody lines.

I am going to make a no bake gluten free chocolate cheesecake today. :) Never done it before. As for my cat, she loves fluffy plush bedding and warm humans. :)

Love singing in the shower! Home made rain!

Pucky Toe Beans!

My cat likes to go in the dry shower and sing. Does a good Pavarotti opera voice, and LOUD.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Dining Room

Thomios: Your Majesty and fellow courtiers! It gives me great pleasure to present a new peas and pasta dish, with peas from Where We Know Not.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: A most delicious dish.

Thomios: And for dessert, sweet pea and vanilla cake. (Recipe at veggiedesserts . com).

Sometime Later

Maat-Tilda: Your Majesty and Friends, my fellow artisans and I are working on a special project. Each of us have incorporated peas in our specialty arts. Tonight we would like to present a sampling of our projects. First up is Sophititi. Soph?

Soph: Peas are a staple in many cuisines. I have created a found object map of the known world enhanced with peas indicating key spots. And now Adobe Style and Arachna Webspinner will display their fabric art creations.

Adobe Style: My tapestry is a combination of peas, beans, and jewels to catch the beauty of the day. Arachna’s webs have a take on the reflective powers of webs. Ari?

Ari: Here are my intricate webs, decorated with jewels and peas. They are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also provide a living space for spiders like me. And to round out our show, here is Maat-Tilda. Tillie?

Tillie: With the help of the construction team of Iggy Shipwright and Awhile-Fixit the Seventh, our own Wally, I have created a whirligig with peas. This is the beginning of our endeavor to achieve whorld peas!

Living in FL I rarely take hot showers. Usually the hottest is barely luke warm

Unfortunately, the original song was after my time.

When I sing, my cats all run away with pained expressions. I think I hurt their ears.

The Woman sure loves finding inspiration in Foreigner songs. I really enjoy it!

I agree, sometimes ya’ just gotta filk a 70’s tune, or one from the 60’s for us older folk.

I am terrible at guessing songs from just a few lyrics. Now, if I hear the melody, I can sometimes guess.

Our heat vents tended to accumulate dachshunds in the winter. I referred to the result as “Chinook and schnooks.”

Bravo, Georgia, bravo!

Georgia posted: “Thank you so much to everyone who came to my talk in Snohomish, WA today! We had someone come down from Canada, someone come up from Las Vegas, and a family fly in from Michigan! WOW!!! Thank you for traveling to attend one of my talks, and thank you to local folks who came out as well! It was such a good afternoon with friendly folks! I hope you enjoyed hearing about what makes a good ghost story and sharing some ghost stories of your own. It was so nice to meet folks and talk about the comic!”

Ryan: Hello, we’ll return you to your movie, “The Man Who Would Be Queen”, in just one moment. But first, have we got an offer for you!

Colin: As long as there’s been bathrooms, there’s been music about showers. And if that isn’t the truth, it would be a lie. We have compiled an incredible collection of 70’s shower-related songs.

Ryan: Over fifty songs on forty-nine CDs. You know, many songs are on this. One of my favourites, of course, is the 70’s French Cancan number, “Hey Look…my shower has no door”

Colin: (gets google eyes)

Ryan: “Let’s Look, And See!”

And I want you to show me.

I think we filkers have finally wormed our way into Georgia’s brain!

Such a classic! Love you all!

C’mon baby, warm my fur…

Wanna knows what warm ees? Just comes down to these steenky hot tropeecs, seely cat, and you be never wanting to knows what warm ees ever again.

Perfect story for today

We’ve had a doozy of a day!

Chronic Lyricosis

Took a second: “Hot Blooded” by Foreigner, I don’t want to think of Georgia as being that old! (her art and humor makes clear that inside she is eternally youthful)

I sang every one of these!

Such strips as these are the rare times I’m not glad I don’t listen to popular music.

OT kind of: yesterday someone posted about giving our info to Denny. I saw the post, clicked on the responses, my screen froze. Closed, came back, it was gone! Was it deleted? I’m so confused!

Nothing beats taking a hot shower. It makes you feel so alive!

Eventually, though, it’s time for a Cool Change…

Why Foreigner? I love the fact they are all singing, though; just like at my house.

I prefer a Saturday night soak in the tub. Drink in hand, tv series episodes playing on my tablet. Heaven.

Gosh, after reading this one, I feel like a Foreigner….

[I’m here all week folks! Try the veal, and be sure to tip your server!]

One of Andy’s and my best decisions ever was to opt for radiant heat.

EZ explanation for kits and cats knowing oldies: Baba Mouse (who was one of the last kittens Freddie helped rear.)

Love a good Foreigner appreciation comic strip every so often.

That one must have come after I stopped listening to popular music in the mid ’70s.

Foreigner was one of my bands growing up. Seeing them in concert was a blast.

I love the Kitten doing Foreniger

OT: Holiday Food

“I wanna know what food is / I want you to SHOW ME. . .”

I prefer to sing Cat Stevens Oldies in the shower:

Another Saturday Night and I got the shampoo out

I’m washing my hair and I don’t need to shout

How I wish the water was warmer

When did it get so cold?

Foreigner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October. Consequently they’ve been on popular rock radio a lot lately, so that would explain why The Woman has Foreigner songs on (or in) her mind :-)

Sometimes I wonder as I step in the tub …

If my kitties are still outside, thinking of grub.

It’s Urgent!

Fun Foreigner takeoffs here.

I WANNA KNOW WHAT WARM ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
