In panel three – are the Boys backpawing to get away from the vibrating vase or just positioning themselves to jump up for the closer look in panel 4 once the Man is there for backup?
The man is clearly wise beyond his years. Immediate first thought, “get the threat out of the house.” Of course, he probably saw the look on Elvis’s face (and we’re not talkin’ “The Look Of Love..”)
Interesting how brave the boys get when the man gets near the vase. I love the years in panel two. Then the puffs of dust as the boys run from the buzzing in panel three. Then the boys clearly getting brave in the last panel now that they have the man with them.
Good friends, Catpatriates, and fellow orbsters, this week I will bring to a close what I am calling the “introduction” to Tre-C and Megan’s stories (note the plural). I will advise, without invoking the dreaded “spoiler alert”, that tomorrow’s installment may require a tissue or two. I am shopping a publisher, and for those of you who asked, I am going to copy the whole story, edit and post it. You’ll know where and when… well, when I do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your likes, for your support, and for letting me share. And, oh, yes- before you ask… Megan CAN talk. When she wants to… ;-{)>
When they got together at the back wall, Megan didn’t wait for Tre-C to ask a question. “There are a few things I found out, kitten. How’d you do?” “Well, I’m pretty sure the old Man and Woman recognized me. I want so badly to go up on the porch, to bunt him and rub up against his pant legs…” Megan had a wistful look on her face. She may tell Tre-C, at some point, how much she missed the touch of a human- to be petted, have her chin scratched, to have that big human hand rubbing her tummy. But telling her this would mean she would have to also tell her just exactly how long it’s been. “Not ready for that…” Megan thought.
“Kitten, grab a bite if you’re hungry. Then walk with me, I have something I need to show you. Then, I’m going to tell you what I found out about Yenta, your mama.” Tre-C stood there in the yard like a stone ornament. “How can I eat, now? I can barely move…” Then Megan told Tre-C; “Down the driveway. To the Gardenia bush near the front porch.” And Megan led this good, young spirit to a truth she did not know Tre-C was ready for- but that she needed to see.
I echo Sue Ellen’s comment, those little ears poking out of the side of the table, perked up and aware of the threat waiting within the vase! Cuteness overload!
Good folks, I’m dealing with another bad toothache & probably have to go on antibiotics again. Ask for boops, bumps, vibes & other support, as it’s a heck of a thing to have happen in the wee hours! Have no dental coverage & know of no way to pay for it. Crazy that something like this is considered superfluous, but, that’s the system for the not-quite-poor.
Used to play with those little guys when I was a kid. Nothing scary about them – Dad taught me that. They don’t bite – just buzzed and tickled my hand. Still consider them fun the rare times I see them now.
Been where the man is now. Cats investigating something deeply weird, you decide it’s better to just let it go, lest you become the opening kill of a monster movie.
“I’m not saying there’s demons in the vase, but there are definitely demons in the base.
Oh! Elvis has his right ear turned back in panel 4! I love that look. When I had a job that required regular meetings I used to wish people had ears that could do that. It would be so cool to just sit there and turn your ear if someone said something you didn’t like – and if they called you on it, you could just go into an ear scratch and act like that was where you were headed all along.
Completely unrelated to today’s instalment. I have a set of BCN pins and I choose who I wear depending on which of my inner correspondent I feel the need to “channel” (for lack of a better word). Today it is Elvis!
BCN VASE WATCH: Second-5:15- This just in…Local authorities have decided to isolate the known, baby buzzing criminal, Jules the July bug, in an outdoor setting. We still have unconfirmed reports that he may be given a light sentence and may even be set free.

Lupin, Cat of Adventure, is all up in this. Elvis is in kill mode and Puck looks like he wants to play or maybe run or maybe swat and then run.

And have Jules fly away? And have all the boys’ hard work be for nothing?!

The cats are being through in their investigation so no one can accuse them of bias.

Puck and Lupin look adorable in the last panel. I’d say the same of Elvis, but I’m pretty sure he denies his cuteness.

Yes, take him outside and secure the house.
Charliegirl Premium Member over 6 years ago
LOL No one wants to put their face down over the opening to look. I wouldn’t either! Bssssstrt!

They have an unbroken vase with three active cats in the house?
Robin Harwood over 6 years ago
DON’T LOOK IN THE VASE! Just get it outside as soon as possible.

Time to call in the swat team. And in real life what cat worth it’s kibble wouldn’t have already crunched down on such a bold intruder?

Good morning and happy Tuesday/Bluesday, fellow orbsters and orbabies. Paul and I are counting down to the end of his treatments.

Elvis is not amused, Lupin wants to hop in the vase, and Puck is crouching ready to run.

Elvis is more than ready for round 2. I would put something over the opening and then squirt some bug spray in there.

Looks like Elvis has the forward and backward ear thing going on, zeroing in on the woman and the bug at the same time.
