Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 01, 2016
Transcript:
Lupin: CN news investigative report: Why do open books make the best cat beds? Puck: Lupin, since the introduction of the printing press, cats the world over have taken great comfort in curling up with a good book. Literally. Elvis: A cat can command immediate attention just by lying down. Man: Elvis, think you could move, buddy? Elvis: Nope. Lupin: Paper is an excellent conductor of heat. A book in a sun spot... Becomes the sweet spot. Man: Elvis!! Elvis: That was 6 scritches. I would have preferred 5. Puck: I enjoy the challenge of a tiny book.

Newspapers and homework are pretty comfortable, too. As long as the human is trying to read or write, that is.
Our son is allowed to skritch the Supreme Being’s chin like that, but his mother and I are not. We have to stroke in other ways.

I love it later on in the comic when the boys and all the rest of the newer cast including Beatrix are discussing their favourite books to sleep on. ;-)

I have a male gray tabby who sometimes reacts the same way as Elvis has done in the second to last panel.

Actually books are heat insulators which is what makes them good resting spots any time. A good heat conductor is something like the lid of a car trunk. No cat sleeps on that unless it is in full sun or has a warm engine under it. (Isn’t it nice to know that two science degrees haven’t gone to waste?)

Our IX Lives – the only soap (besides Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman) that I like. Good to see there’ll be that special.

Cats have enjoyed books since way before the printing press. I’ve seen medieval and earlier manuscripts with cat prints across the page.
