Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 19, 2025

Is Ora holding Buzzy Mouse? Have we ever seen that before?

You know it’s going to be cold when it’s a six cat night.

Six cats in harmony on one bed and a human! Magic!

…she will never be allowed to move again.

My nightly routine is much simpler. Get up and check to make sure the front door is locked and the stove burners off (note: this has no relation to my actually having used the stove) at least elebenty-seven times before sleeping.

This is 100% related to the strip as I am fairly sure my OCD was brought to me by toxo! and the many kitties we had when I was younger.

(Editor’s note: so worth it!)

Goldie has it right. Go to sleep. Go straight to sleep. Remember to brush teeth before getting into bed…

Elvis has a Phd in comfy.

Sunday Funday

I always enjoy seeing Elvis reading the paper before bed. :-)

We had to simplify our night routines because our cats would pin us once we got in bed. Random was 19 lbs. The others were around 15. They also controlled local gravity.

Elvis reads the newspaper before going to bed? That’s the wrong time! Read the news in the morning. The resultant outrage will fire you up for the day.

At night you need something relaxing and quiet. Spinoza*, Heidegger, or P. G. Wodehouse.

(*Don’t call him “Baruch”. It’s an insult. He chose and used the name “Benedict”, and was usually referred to by that name until recently. “Baruch” is the name by which he was cursed, reviled, and cast out by the rabbis.

He was a very substantial Dutchman.)

Ot: Lady Blue Barker

Notice there is no room for the Man, he’s sleeping in the spare room, formerly known asThe Cat Room.

Aah, Elvis in panel three ‘Mmh hmm’. Then looking so sweet in the last.

Why does Buzzy Mouse look so sad?

Georgia doesn’t need to buy the bed warming device because the cats warm her bed.

Did Ryan give Georgia one of her cats, or did she adopt all of them herself?

And yes, those nightgowns do evoke the image of a haunted doll.

When did the woman start wearing reading glasses?

OT Seeking recommendations.

Lupin… Gross.

Well it’s a 6 cat night, and I’ve working, like a dog! (All the cats hiss, in protest!)

Why is she saying goodnight neverland? When we fall asleep, aren’t we off to never never land?

I absolutely love it when one of the cats loafs in their jammies!

Then, they had to take turns tucking one another in….

Ah, Lupin clutching her arm in his sleep.

BoCH (with front reflection).

Iggy and OZ are such cute little loafs. My JackJack is a blanket hog.

Has LittleMissFuss usurped Buzzy Mouse?

For some real fun close the bedroom door after entering

OT

Oh what a wonderful bedtime!!! Just like me but I only have one cat!!!

So, where does “the Man” sleep?

This is a clip-and-keep strip for sure. The artist has depicted my routine perfectly, right down to the 6 cats. I love it!!

I’d be brushing my teeth before getting into bed to journal. Knowing me, I’d fall asleep mid-sentence & then my teeth wouldn’t be brushed. If I don’t brush before falling asleep, I have nightmares that my teeth are rotting & falling out of my mouth. Yikes

What is the significance of “Good night, Neverland?”

I give up. Now, I can’t read replies to the comments. I’ll try again tomorrow. Very frustrated.

Ay yes, just like my wife, totally disorganized routine at bedtime. It would be so simple and logical to 1. brush teeth, 2. skin care routine, that way you can apply lotion to your limbs and feet as well, 3. nightgown, 4. fuzzy socks, 5 journaling, and 6. SLEEP!

I have a hideously complex and overwrought routine for bedtime:

.

- Change into shorts

- Turn off light

- Get into bed

I’m sorry to have inflicted such a lengthy spiel upon all of you. Flowcharts are available upon request.
