Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 02, 2018

Hello Georgia! After reading this strip for a while, I have an idea for a story arc! Here it is: The Woman notes that the boys like deep-pile carpet, so she goes out and buys the deepest-pile carpet she can find to cover the living room floor. Unfortunately, it goes above the cats’ heads. The cats decide to do a report on the new carpet. They jump across the sofas, until Elvis loses his footing and falls onto the carpet. Elvis remembers the ‘fact’ that cats are liquid (which is not true – see May 28), and thinks he’s being absorbed as he sinks into the carpet. Puck dives in to save Elvis. Puck knows better than Elvis, but Lupin doesn’t, and thinks Puck’s been absorbed, too. Lupin sits at the desk, telling of the tragic absorption. He goes back to the carpet, to mark the spot, when Puck and Elvis triumphantly resurface! Lupin is incredulous about how they weren’t absorbed, and as Puck tries to explain, Elvis interjects, saying that yes, they were absorbed, but that they managed to recollect their molecules, and, literally, pull themselves together. Lupin believes this, and Puck facepaws. The cats try to tell the Woman to get rid of the carpet, “CN News, ma’am, get rid of that carpet! Someone could be absorbed!” and she doesn’t understand. But she throws it out anyway. I would enormously appreciate it if you were to use this arc, or parts of it. Loving bumps and boops from your Mega Orb scientist, Fastfur07. =‘.,.’=

Upside down Lupin belly button. Such cuteness. It’s almost too much for me. Swoon.

So Lupin what do you call that all day snooze-fest of this past Sunday when you were the only one of you three who was asleep the Whole Time?

Optimal biscuit-making weather?

This is a banner day – an Elvis chart and Burt’s header. Which by the way I totally agree with both of them.

I don’t know about that whole gravitational pull. Especially with an open window and a fan in the window. If you can shut off the fan and close the window, great. But if you’re asleep when the rain starts…. I’ve had plenty of rainy days where I WANT TO GET OUT OF BED because the bed just gets sticky with moisture.

Lupin displaying his tummy brings back memories of my sweet boy Whiskers. Whiskers would roll over and show me his tummy and I would always ask him “can Mama kiss your floofy tummy?” Then I would slowly proceed to kiss his tummy and he never moved away or tried to swat me or anything! That’s one of my cherished memories of Whiskers…….

Cloudy with a Chance of Biscuits!

n all the feline lore and the harsh realities cats have endured, there are few witnessed instances of a cat actually crying. Tre-C did not care one whit for anything others have seen or may see. In the space of just a few minutes she had gone from the deepest despair to pure elation. Yenta looked up from her nest and began to purr loudly. She eased herself up from her babies; they squirmed and squealed but did not cry. “Oh, momma- no, stay with them…” Yenta ascended the shiny metal wall as if there were stairs built-in to it. “Don’t worry, honey” she said, and with a wink, added; “It’s not like they’re going anywhere…” Then the two rubbed heads over and over and purred like they never had before.

“I was sure I’d lost you with your brother and sister” Yenta said with a sigh; “I was young- too young- and your father was not around. When I came back to where I’d left you and you all were all gone, I blanked out; I just left” Tre-C responded; “and I stayed around for a year waiting for you to come back. I was in and out of the house regularly and for the life of me don’t understand why the People didn’t just close the back door when I came in.” “Not their way, baby” Yenta offered; “I think they have a rule about not keeping something wild.”

Today is my day off and it’s almost impossible to escape my bed.

And that has to be one of my favourite charts, and it’s an Elvis chart no less! I certainly do find myself orbiting and drawn to the immense gravitational pull of the bed on rainy days.

You’ve got to love Elvis’s charts – always pragmatic and full of science :)

Though I don’t think my boss would accept the “I was unable to escape the excessive gravitational force exerted by my bed due to decreased barometric pressure” excuse for not making it into work

Is that an old-fashioned barometer on the wall? Worthy of a Providence-built whaler? Or am I misunderstanding an odd teapot?

I know this is a couple days late but I was wondering about Jules. The story left off with the woman telling man to put vase outside. I was hoping for an ending. I’m know he’ll get out. It just would have been nice to see him fly away in a way to annoy the cats.

And yet another great science lesson in the form of a chart!

Puck Still Missing!

Sounds logical to me.

What’s that thing with the spout in the last panel? A teapot or some kind of barometer?

Good morning and happy Thursday/Purrsday, orbsters and orbabies. Counting today, Paul has only 3 treatments left.

Someone needs to scratch Lupin’s belly. Like… Immediately.

I thought it was grabitational pull. My Physics must be rusty. 8^)

Just HOW powerful is BCN (and Georgia)? Been record-setting heat here in the Puget Sound area for weeks. She started the ‘rain’ arc yesterday and what’s happening outside this morning? First time I’ve needed the windshield wipers on my way to work for a long time. BCN—the rainmaker of comics!

Sending love and healing thoughts to you Shaunnmunn!! we miss you and would like to be able to help!!

#SCIENCE

I tried telling this to my boss, but she isn’t buying it.Don’t forget comic books/magazines too.

Well, Elvis, thanks!!! we learn something every day XXX

“They blinded me with science……”

Puck has been absorbed into the fluffy comforter. (Thanks Fastfur!)

An opportunity to bring it up again. The video of little Elvis kneading is one of the cutest things I’ve seen.

It finally stopped raining, but it’s still cloudy and gloomy.

We once asked our vet of the time if cats have belly buttons. He said “Yes, but they’re so small and inconspicuous you’d have trouble finding one even with a magnifying glass.”

Didn’t stop my better half from trying to blow raspberries into the navel of our male kitten of the time. The kitten would just lie there on his back looking bemused.

Yes. Nap. Soon.

I have never in my life gone into a hospital situation and spent less time waiting.

I sat down after checking in and pulled out my phone and the Solitaire app than they called my name for the X-Ray.

Two quick snapshots, and back to the waiting room.

Repeat, except that i didn’t even have the time to pull the phone out. I would bet money that, from the moment i walked through the door, it took me no more than 15 minutes to get in and out.

I am so amazed.

And, to top it all off, It’s been a long time since i have seen Portland freeway traffic flow so smoothly.

I am sooo amazed. I had to take care of an AM Lincoln City client before going out so i didn’t get on the road until about 7:30a, and i pulled back into Lincoln City at 1:30. Honestly, i was expecting it to be eight to ten hours before i got home. I called Jenny and told her answering machine that she didn’t need to come by. I was home! :D

I really hope Shaunnmunn is feeling better and will be back with us soon. She is our Leading Orbster and we really need all her positive vibes to be as strong as we can be. Take care of yourself, SM, and hopefully you can feel the good thoughts and wishes headed your way.

Dear friends, this has been a toughie to overcome. My doc on vaycay. Sub doc wants me to to call tomorrow with update on how sulfa drugs (her prescrip) work. Not great. Very slow to reduce swelling. Pain much duller, but by this time last time the pain was over. Looks like will need penicillin, which disagrees with me. :-{

Very sick to stomach from sulfa & sitting up to the screen not good, so that’s why I’m not communicating. Can’t wrap my mind around much right now, BUT my beloved friends in the Mega Orb have given me so much love! I feel it like warm waves. Bless you, each and every one!

Love ( and I MEAN IT), >^.,.^<

The boys are SMART!!!! Rainy days are best for staying home and doing nothing. Making tea and scones is a good thing (The Mrs is a Scot and prefers scones. Savoury and sweet.)
