Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 17, 2018

OMC – I love Puck. “Cat hair – we care.” So true, Pucky, so true.

“Puck’s” T-shirt almost looks as if it has whiskers. ;) He is a true artiste.

Pucky white floof spot. “Rarer than toe beans. A joy to behold.”

Love the headlines in panels 3 and 4.

Haha! OMC, Elvis looks demented.

“Countless pieces of encouragement.” I for one will never look at cat hair in quite the same way after reading this.

What a perfect demonstration of their different personalities!

That certainly sheds (no pun intended) some light on things! Clearly Blossom uses her gravity-defying hairs to offer encouragement whenever I venture out into the big, scary world.

“Cat Hair, We Care” – I love it, Burt!

Fur real, Pucky?

Georgia: It really is a joy and a wonder at how much more expressive Puck’s face is since the ‘lighting’ change. #BlackCatsAreBeautiful.

So .. what else is Elvis going to add to the bottom of that shirt?

t’s start over, shall we?" Megan wanted to move past this episode as quickly as possible. “Hector, this is Tre-C. Tre-C, this is Hector… a VERY good friend of mine. Hector lives here.” Tre-C actually made a passible attempt to curtsey. “Encantado,” Tre-C cooed. This impressed Hector, and dumbfounded Megan; Where did you pick THAT up?" she whispered. “…you already forgot I’m from L.A.?” Tre-C replied, and punctuated the comment with that signature grin. “There was a Chihuahua who lived next door to the people I was with. I picked up some Spanish from him. A little Dog, too. Came in handy.” Megan sighed, then thought, “Going forward, I must remember not to underestimate this little minx”.

“Hector, amigo, the only thing I can say is it’s been a long night and there are two of us that I know could use some sleep. Anything exciting happen here while I was out?” Hector shrugged; “other than my heart attack, no, but I can fill you in tomorrow. Over coffee. Your treat…” It was a fact Megan was well aware of- Hector would stare down a Pitbull for good cup of coffee. Hell, she’d seen him do something similar for a good coffee bean, for that matter. “Thank you, Hector.” Megan told the little mouse. But then, lowered her head and actually squeaked something to him. As they walked out of the “office” and back to the storeroom, Tre-C stopped and turned to Megan; “Was that mouse? Did you just speak mouse to Hector?” Megan just nodded. “What did you tell him?” “Not now… let’s get some sleep, ok?” Tre-C looked around and agreed with Megan- there were tons of shelves and crates and bags to get comfortable on. But when Megan jumped up on top of a stack of pallets covered by a few canvas bags, she knew this was where she wanted to sleep, too. So they curled up like two crescent rolls and Megan began to groom Tre-C behind the ears. And she couldn’t help but think, as Tre-C drifted off; “Who’s my good girl?”

Saw a t-shirt at knitting camp one year that said “Cat hair, just another exotic fiber”. There was also an internet story a few years ago about a woman who saved all her grey Persian’s shed hair, spun it into yarn and knitted herself a sweater. There was a picture of her wearing the cat hair sweater and holding the cat. It was actually kinda creepy.

I have a sign in my kitchen that reads “Home: Where cat hair sticks to everything – but the cat.”

Dont forget the spice factor.

A meal just wouldn’t be satisfying if you didn’t find pet hair in it.

We had a pair of long-haired brown tabbies for many years (the male looked like Tommy) and I could swear they shed a different colour of fur for every garment, sofa cushion, or blanket they lay down on. I don’t think I ever had a skirt or pair of pants that was the same colour as their fur.

I particularly like how cat hair collects in little tumbleweeds when you have neglected to vacuum. Even if the house is not at all drafty, the location of the tumbleweeds shows you where little eddies of air form when people walk by. We have one in the dogleg of a hallway and another in the corner of the living room.

My cats must have loved me a lot. Gives new meaning to a “hair shirt.”

To the tune of “Keep Your Sunny Siide Up:” “Wear your cat fur with pride, pride …” It works best as a Ted Lewis or (deep trivia) Harry Richman imitation.

Silver (aka the House Varmint) has developed an interesting skill – projectile shedding! (He uses it to great effect…)

A wise aphorism comes from 9 Chickweed Lane: “Never trust a man who doesn’t have cat hair on his suit.”

Shiba Inu fur is almost as fine as cat hair… and bunny fur flies everywhere (it is almost lighter than air.) I have had cats that had different density fur, the Siamese had a denser fur than my tabby, which had a fine fur indeed.

It is amazing how much can float into the keyboard.

Agreed, Colorado! My mother always warned me about those folks!

Love, blessings, boops & bumps this lovely and much-more-pleasant Mewsday! I made sushi today, & Dusty conned me out of an extra shrimp besides his usual daily treat. WHY were kitties created to be so appealing?

:-D

>^.,.^<

So last night I decide to wear the black T shirt, sure enough Reilly wants a hug as I’m leaving the house. Orange and tan hairs all over my black shirt as I left the house!!!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your livingroom … CAT HAIR!

I swear to god, it’s a conspiracy to kill us all by asphyxiation!

I am reassured; my cats believe in me A LOT.

And that cats are vandals..!

“Gimme a shirt with hair; beautiful feline hair.”

“Black, white, gray, tan, orange, any color.”

Does this really work very often? I mean the more I sit here thinking about it the more I realize that when I go out if there is a cat or dog where I go nine times out of ten they have to come up and sniff my legs. And with the cats that do this about seven times out of ten they rub up against me even though Smokey, Bandit, and DC have left their scent and hair on me. And Smokey and the boys have to check me out to see if I picked up any scent and fur they don’t know. I’m beginning to think that the fur and scent isn’t about saying stay away but is a means of spreading gossip and news.

“Hello strange kitties, my name is Bandit. My brother DC got himself squirted for once more this morning meddling into the place the people keep telling us not to go. He then proceeded to open the to the upstairs and he and I spent a few hours sleeping outside the room of this person. Yesterday our adopted mommy, Smokey, threw up her afternoon meal in the middle of the kitchen floor. The bearded one says it’s because she ate too fast. But some times she and I must eat really fast as DC can either be a real pig or decide he doesn’t want to eat out of his own bowl and will eat out of meowme or my bowl instead. Two days I batted a toy up under the couch and when the bearded one got it out for me there were about a dozen toys with it. I really think that couch must be a magical couch as I do not remember batting more than the one toy under there. I mean really, how could there be a dozen toys under there if I only batted one up under?”

New adventures ! Love this :)

Aww! You tell em Puck !

By this standard, I have very, very encouraging cats.

Oh Georgia! Loved your interview about the cat show! “Garfield” can’t hold a candle to your work! Not even close! There’s plenty of good comics with kitties, but only one BCN. Period! Love, >^.,.^<

Everyday I come home. Our 4 cats greet us. Old McKayla who is 18, Joel Grey (guess what color he is?) who is 15, Mittens and her arch nemesis Giblet (think Elvis and Tabitha). I get lots of cat fur on me but I don’t mind. People say cats don’t show love or care. Every day our cats show us love, and I buy another lint roller.

Is Kitty Katz on vaycay? Did I miss her posting that she’d be offline a while?

Miss you KK! There’s very little music without you! Love, >^.,.^<
