Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 01, 2019

Lupin, remember what I told Puck before? Don’t even try to suggest that Elvis is wrong. He is Always Right and that’s that!

“Shelve in moderation” HeHe :~) Is there a Shelvers Anonymous, SA?

♪♫ Take this segment, and shelve it.. I’m not reporting anymore… ♪♫

C’mon, boys, what happens on the shelves, gets knocked off the shelves!

What kind of regulations would you suggest, Elvis? All shelves be located no more than 4" above the floor? Posted weight limits? Safety nets below any shelf?

See? I told you Lupin was special!

I think Elvis makes a good point. Safety is important for all cats.

Elvis, you can’t use shelves because they’re always booked.

Yesterday, I got a new kitchen wastebasket, the kind with a pointed lid that swivels closed. I got up this morning to relieve myself and I discovered that someone had thrown away a perfectly good cat in it!

“Shelves aren’t intended for cats”??? Lupin has lost his marbles. Everything is intended for cats.

Lupin, your argument has more holes than a wedge of Swiss cheese! You seem to be disagreeing just for the sake of being disagreeable.

And for those who are asking about the weather here in Australia, yes , it’s warm. That happens in Summer here. The Bureau of Meteorology is claiming it’s record breaking, but that is because they ignore all the years that have been hotter. It’s no fun saying “Yes, it’s a half degree warmer than the last couple of years, but nowhere near as hot as it was, say, in 1896, when special trains were put on for people to flee from the inland heat, or 1932, when billions of birds fell from the sky from heat exhaustion.” That wouldn’t get the BOM any publicity.

Everything is best in moderation. Even Moderation, which is why Elvis is best annoyed.

Wall stairs? ::mutters:: “oh, my cat …”

Or simply don’t be shelfish!

Hmmm. Lupin might look as if he’s calmed down in panel four but methinks his tail says otherwise.

“..just run across them” My husband called this “in transit”. The cats were technically not allowed on the counters or shelves but in reality could go anywhere they liked “in transit”. Sort of like those old Florida laws that said a person could carry a firearm anywhere at any time as long as they were going fishing.

Well it looks like we need to get COSHA (Cat Occupational Safety and Health Administration) involved to write some new regulations for the proper installation and use of shelves (wall stairs).

By the way, is there a central government for Cats? Who is the President / Prime Minister or Empress?

Our vet has curved kitty shelves on the walls in all her exam rooms.

A brr-ish TGIF, orbsters and orbabies! It’s finally going to start warming up tomorrow, and it’s supposed to rain on Monday! Go figure.

I have no room for shelves, but Yum Yum does like the tops of dressers and bookcases. Elvis, maybe you need to scope out some of those for your naps and leave regular shelves for the cat of adventure to run across.

Lupin is right, shelve in moderation. Just like everything else in life…moderation.

Wall Stairs…Snerk! Giggle! Laugh! Ha ha hee hee!

One of my cats does this insane bound onto a shelf when she sees me coming. I mean, she jumps so hard, I think she might knock it over from the force. And it’s obviously to get my attention, but when I give it to her she goes “Nooooo! He’s paying attention to meee! The terror!” Drives me crazy.

Shelves should only be placed over comfy sofas, chairs, and beds.

Smug Elvis in panel 2! It always amazes me how Georgia can create such nuance and subtlety with just a brush and watercolor…in such a tiny space too. This is so much more than a comic strip :):). Thanks, Georgia Dunn.

Soooooooo….. Shelves=DRUGS?

Hmmm… wheres puck?

just sitting here loving “wall stairs”

You tell him, Lupin. And you might want to let him know that if he does happen to nap on them and accidentally rolls the wrong way, his humiliation will be News at 11

There’s a modern style staircase that looks like a series of shelves mounted on the wall with a railing along the wall but totally open on the other side. I first saw it on Real Housewives of NY. It would scare the bejeebers out of me to try to climb or descend such an open structure. Google “Carole Radziwill stairs” to see photos.

With ‘regulations’ comes what next? – Shelf Cops?!

I think Lupin might also be saying he is not near as clumsy as a certain Siamese. Lupin apparently doesn’t fall out the shelf highway like a protesting Duke of Puke.

I’m loving this. In my guest room (where recovering feral Gandalf acclimated to life indoors) there are lots of shelves on the wall (I luuurve my books). And the shelves extend all the way up the wall . . . Gandalf used them as a Stairway to Heaven to get up to a clerestory area above the closet, from which he would peer down at me.

Nowadays, he’s more content, and goes to a similar height in my room.

Right! Use in moderation; don’t be “shelvish”.

Orbsters in the Baltimore area … suggestions for things for me to do while in town for a few days in June? I have “go see an Orioles game” and “spend two days getting poked and prodded by specialists at Johns Hopkins” on the itinerary. Any other ideas?

Love the February calendar picture. It is hard to have a romantic dinner at home when you have 3 cats. :)

…but Lupin, shelves are a purrfect place for cats to nap. Just ask my own cats:

I’m surprised that Elvis hasn’t accused Lupin of weakening the shelves with him running over them and then super svelte, I hardly weigh anything, Elvis tries to take a quick nap and crash, boom, fall….but with dignity intact

“What I’m sayin’ is you betta check yo-shelf befo’ you wreck yo-shelf!”

Georgia posted a new pic of the gorgeous Goldie.

A funny thing happened to me today. This morning.

Friday is $5 Friday at the grocery store. (Lots of $5 specials.) I go shopping for a couple of people on Friday morning and the last thing i do before leaving the store is stop at the lottery machine for a client. If i have some cash in my wallet i’ll buy myself a couple of tickets then as well.

I actually had some ( !!! ) so i counted my $1s, and what did i find?!

A Bunny Buck ! (Google it! :D )

It’s in the curio cabinet now with the rest of my Herd of Bunnies. :D

Of the arc, but my kitty loves when I changes the the sheets. Is that true for all?

Where is our wee Pucky-Wucky this week?!

Hmm… Elvis wants invasive regulation but Lupin favors laissez faire.

On a serious note, printers need to display a maximum weight rating, so that you can know which printers will survive your household.
