Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 15, 2018

Beep-beep here comes the sleep!

Haha! It’s the massage arc! :D Time for some toddler and baby deep tissue therapeutical action! Happy Purrsday Mega Orb on this wonderful day. My 4th wedding anniversary to a handsome Yorkshiremen. :-)

Ai Ai Ai, I was expecting a spectacular wrestling match from yesterday. Puck is back to being a good boi i see.

Puck is such a sweet big brother to his people-sibling.

Cat massages are the best. Beep! Beep!

Hey what happened to the case of the woman’s missing ring???

Love Puck’s huge smile.

Getting run over repeatedly by a toy bus? OK Lupin, if that’s your thing.

So, did the mouse give up the earring, or what?

Is it another one of those things where 90% of the people posting already know the answer?

‘Beep beep’? Is that little toy car a RoadRunner?

From Pucky Bear to Sweetie Bear! I love how cats can go boneless and just ooze into the furniture.

“lf we are to try to do this, I want to take some time to repeat that we are going to be dealing with dogs- all shapes and sizes. Dogs and Humans, actually. This is generally something I can work around, but combined in a hostile environment there’s no way to accurately predict…” “What you’re saying is this is going to be a high-risk, seat-of-the-pants operation.” Megan nodded, then continued; “I’m really speaking to Maxie, here, Kitten. You’ve been by my side for a couple of outings, but this is gonna be all new for Max. And even at that, you need to pull back on your, let’s say, ‘enthusiasm’ on this one. You can’t charge full-tilt at an animal that outweighs you by ten times.” “Don’t worry, I’m not the strategist you are, but I’m not about to bring my knives to this gunfight. What’s the plan?” Megan had a long look at Tre-C and Max. “Persuasion. Education and simple persuasion.” Maxie blinked twice, then stared Megan right in her eyes.” We’re going to TALK them out of fighting? That’s your plan?”

Puck has given up his life of crime?

LOL, Puck. Is it possible for a cat to look any more relaxed?

We may be rescuing another meezer tomorrow…I may take up drinking afterward. xP

Somehow I’m just not seeing Elvis allowing this to be done to him.

When this strip originally appeared, it was the 150th BCN strip.

I’ve seen thingies like that in catalogs. A curved wooden handle with wheels to roll over muscles. Who knew you could use a toy car? :D

Robber Mice better not steal that massager!

The toddler is getting so big! Remember when he was just a baby? Awwww, memories! <3

My beloved Caramel loves her back scratches. She and Puck would relate.

My massage cat gave massages with her strong little toes. Then she developed that cervical tooth resorption that plagues lots of cats and had to have all her teeth out. She’s fine, happier than ever, but now refuses to give massages. If I lay down and put her on my back she just falls off as if she has no idea what to do.

sign me up XD

There is nothing, NOTHING as pleasant as an hour on the table, under the hands of a practitioner of Therapeutic Massage.

I just wish that they weren’t so expensive.

I could use a massage like that, between my already-decrepit spine and five straight days of rain here in NC.

I hope the boy is using an American “Muscle Car” (like a Corvette)

Good morning and happy Purrsday, orbsters and orbabies. I am hearing this old tune in my head: Baby, you can drive my car……..Beep beep, beep beep, yeah!

All is quiet on the home front, I have loaves of banana chocolate chip bread and cranberry orange bread in the big freezer. I now need to clean and tidy the little freezer over the fridge so I can make either blueberry loaves or muffins.

Have we ever seen any of the boys so happily flopped as Pucky is in the last frame today? He’s in the state of “cats have no bones”.

I was kind of hoping that we might see the start of a strip that might give Elvis more reasons to question whether Lupin really is a good boy (though we all know he really is, sometime he just can’t help himself). Though that strip might be better as a Sunday strip with the the aerial shot of the living room. Also it probably would be better on Sunday when it would be in color for all newspapers.

If that little car is a Volvo, does that make it a Swedish massage?

Bill and I (in my fuzzy bunny pjs) are snuggled up in the Finger Lakes waiting for the delicious winter storm we’ve been prom… er, warned about. Sounds like a biggie. May you all get the weather you love!!!

Asking for prayers, purrs and good vibes for my sister school has got her down ,shes also looking for a appt.

Love Puck’s face in the last pannel :)

Sis reports: “Onyx said meow to me this morning!”

The Dreaded V.E.T. called a couple of days ago & said Onyx does have diabetes according to her “kitty A1c” (it’s something else but I forget what they called it). She goes back for the rest of her shots in a couple of weeks & will start getting insulin shots after that. In the mean time, sis has taken her off crunchyf00dz & is only feeding her gushyf00dz because they’re lower in carbs. (BONUS: They’re easier for a toothless kitty to chew.)

Sis has no problem with giving shots – as a nurse, she’s given plenty of them. (Since I’m shooting insulin myself these days, I suppose that will be my job when Onyx goes to stay at mom’s with me while sis is away for the holidays.) As cooperative as Onyx has been at the Dreaded V.E.T.‘s & with getting a bath, we don’t think she’ll put up a fight. Maybe she’ll turn out like grandma’s cat, who used to jump up on the table & be ready when grandma got out the stabby stuff…

Hope the Toddler is a careful, gentle driver – unlike PJ’s grandnephew, who saw the plastic Thomas the Tank Engine on his 2nd birthday cake, yelled “TOMMY!” & nearly turfed up the whole cake running it back & forth until his dad caught him.

Happy kitty and toddler.

I wonder how long it’s a massage then becomes bop on the head painful. Not necessarily on purpose but he is the Toddler.

Lady Kat Comment on yesterday’s column. I certainly did not mean to imply that I thought all accusations were false or made up. Unfortunately, abuse of any kind is all too common. What I meant was that I hear so many accusations on TV news, but I never hear any evidence given that many of them are real. It seems that often [but certainly not always] that it just becomes a witch hunt. It seems that many of the allegations are made against movie stars or someone else famous, whose careers are nearly always damaged or destroyed with no proof given. Too often it seems that proof of guilt is forgotten. Sorry about getting on a soapbox like that but this is something I feel quite strongly about. Real incidents should be reported and dealt with, but I don’t really know how to weed out false allegations. I did not mean to insult anyone or put down any experiences and I apologize for any offence taken.

Puck is such a sweetheart and I love the big happy smiles on both faces.

Our black kitten (Missy) used to get her massages outside, on the balcony, which she would run up and down rolling over to demand pats while I negotiated the various items in the way. But after I bought a guitar, she discovered the wonders of a guitar box. She will lie at the thin end and demand pats and then move back and forth up the box demand more and more pats until… that’s enough and she either bites or suddenly leaps out to the kitchen to recharge.

Pucky’s lovely smile just made my day! Sure needed it – it’s been so weird in northern VA today – first rain, then a good 4 – 5 inches of snow, then freezing rain, and then pouring rain the rest of the afternoon – very heavy rain going home and a few crazy drivers especially a particular tractor trailer. That on top of today being 30 years since my dad died too young. So Pucky’s smile just was so lovely to see.

Thank you Georgia Dunn for Pucky!

Oh, I thought it was going to be massages provided by the kitties. I miss my kitty masseuse. :(

Puck’s smile in the last panel ❤️❤️

My girlfriend’s mother had to babysit her grandchildrem when they were quite small. She seldom got enough sleep and lay down for a nap and told the kids they could run their toy cars over her body. That way if they stopped she would wake up and check out what they were doing. As long as the cars were running over her, she knew where they were. (Not the best way to get a nap, but perhaps better than no sleep!)
