The Goddess Who Walks Among Us usually does not rush around at 2 am. She does sometimes demand that one of Her slaves play with Her. Sometimes She decides to sleep on an already occupied bed, and manages to take up most of it, so that the poor humans end up teetering on the edge. And the other night a strange cat came into the garden, so She registered Her disapproval very noisily. But not much rushing around.
My current two don’t have 2am races just early hours purr sessions by Dean that turn into squabbles on the bed when Sammy demands equal attention from me. My previous four though used to tag team through the house and the bedroom was always part of the race circuit :)
Yum Yum pulled an Elvis this morning, puffed to twice her size, started growling and yowling, and proceeded to chase a cat twice her size off the property. She was so kerfuffled that she stayed puffed up for a good half hour and refused treats.
Oh, yay!!! (Sometimes I forget which storyline is coming up next, if you can believe it!) If I’m allowed to have favorites, this is one of mine. I hope to have many more races to cover in the future for you all. This was always something I meant to be a reoccurring event—now it can be!
(Along with a certain soon to be naptime wrestling event ;) )
I’m loving the little agitrons around Elvis’s tail in the second panel… especially because they appear in the word balloon and in that context resemble quotation marks. Even better than the “air quotes” finger gesture.
Last night was not the running of the cats so much as the occupation of Mommy by two very large males who don’t get along but were not going to give up an inch.
Wonderful comic! I’ve been a reader/fan since the very beginning, before newspapers! And I just had to say I love this strip, characters and storyline so much. I really enjoy seeing them all again remade. I’ve never commented because I try to keep a low social profile but I appreciate the positive comments of all posters and have been following all of your comments as well. Georgia, you have created something wonderful and rare. Just wanted to go public with my accolades!

I note that Puck isn’t taking part. Probably because it wouldn’t be fair to the others.

Elvis with his face full of determination and Lupin with his gaping grin of adventure! I wonder if Los Gatos de Noticias’ are hearing all the racket.

I love the 2am racing of the cats – a classic of the sporting calendar

Mine started about an hour ago and show no sign of slowing down. Elvis and Lupin have a major task if they want to catch up.

Elvis is smiling. A rare treat.

I love the head band that Elvis is wearing. It reminds me of the one Bjorn Borg wore when he was playing competitive tennis.

love them warming up. Does anyone else hear Puck using a Howard Cosell type of voice for this?

Running is even better in a two story house! It’s amazing how loud a 6 pound cat can be running up and down stairs at 2 am!

Mine don’t wait until 2 a.m., they’ll gallop through the house at any time of day.

Puck’s contract with the CN network requires him to do the play-by-play. Otherwise he would be right in there.

OOH! Love the naptime wrestling…Hulking Out! Jasper & Nicodemus often do mealtime rasslin’ instead—it’s epic!

I love this one! It is indeed a classic! When Lord Humphrey and Queen Margot were in their prime they would run at midnight.

“Things that go “Bump!” in the night"—usually the cats.

I love how the boys are stretching in the first panel.
They look like pro athletes.
Look at the look of pure joy in the face of Lupin in the last panel.
Great expressions, Georgia—-you make the faces come ALIVE!
