Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 14, 2019

Exactly my reaction if the prize turned out to be chocolate.

SPOILER ZONE

Girls, I’d run a bit faster if you’re able. Elvis looks like he means business!

“The Fast and the Furriest!”

I love Elvis in full chase mode! Poetry in motion! Too bad the toddler didn’t have any of those gold foil wrapped chocolate coins like you find in little mesh bags at Christmas time. Santa always left some of those in my Christmas stocking when I was a kid.

Dump the prize! Run for your lives!

OFF TOPIC:

Nothing to do with the comic, but a throw-out to the Orb: I am moving to Des Moines in about a month for a promotion. Anyone from around there? I am looking for advice on where not to live (is there anyplace sketchy or known to be unsafe) and anything I need to know about living there? Is there someplace I ‘have to’ go or something I have to experience once I am there? I know I will be leaving my beloved wineries behind, but there has to be something in Iowa that they are proud of that I need to experience in order to be accepted by the natives….

Thanks all!

ah, this version answers the question I had reading the original version: were they happy or disappointed to find chocolate instead of gold? Apparently mice have more use for chocolate.

I just love the little grins on Alice’s and Violet’s mousey faces.♥

Go Elvis! Get those mice!

Love the “pi” symbol under Georgia’s name today (3.14 for today’s date 3/14).

During their run the mice seem to be dropping their booty.

To them all, the chase is the thing!

DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!

Where is Beatrix? A Kitten’s average speed is at least Warp-5. Is she already in front of the Robber Mice?

Those fiendish felons! Those rotten reeky robber rodents! Those eevil harbingers of the plague! They’re back! Catch them and eat them, cats!

HA HA HA HA Love this whole strip

The Christmas truce is over!

Good morning, and happy Purrsday (and Pi day), orbsters and orbabies. All quiet on the Barrie front today, Yum Yum has not yet started her daily zoomies.

SCORE!

Today is a day off for me, so i can spend all day getting the parakeets transferred into their new home.

It could take all day. I don’t like to force the issue when transferring birds from one cage to another. Cages go door-to-door, and the waiting begins.

When he’s moving fast enough that his hair blow back like that, Elvis looks like a little lion.

In other news – there are now 80 reviews at Amazon for “Lupin Leaps In.” Not too many more and we get the mice in a bowl of popcorn. ;)

Wait, that didn’t sound right.

Seems to me the leprechaun trap shrank since the first sighting of it.

Go Elvis go! Elvis Elongates After? Elvis Elevates Out?

Did the Robber Mice make the hole? If not, I’m at a loss for how the trap is supposed to work.

Better get a move on!

The robber mice have discovered the end of the rainbow!

Happy Pi Day

Today’s Bloom County has a pretty good observation about cats.

Happy Pi Day! Here’s a pie the cats would find better than chocolate (and it’s a realzie) https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/nz9pdw/stargazy-pie-is-the-guiding-light-of-cornish-christmas

Go get them, Elvis!!

When Robber Mice are stealing

Sure ‘tis like the chocolate’s gone

They are being chased by Elvis,

But the race runs on and on

We wonder if Elvis will catch them

Fleet of paw he is they say

But no matter what the outcome

The girls can steal our hearts away!

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

They are stealing the human child’s trap! The truce is over.

I had a mouse infestation last year. After I captured and released them outside, I found the beginnings of their nest in an unused cabinet. They’d been stealing minature Hershey bars and collecting them there. The ones with nuts and crunchy things had already been eaten. And, no, mice aren’t poisoned by chocolate. I looked it up.

OT: Diego

My mom baits her mousetraps with peanut butter. Maybe she should try Nutella.

Why does Elvis care? Chocolate? His friends? Them taking the trap? Why?

Elvis is Dad Cat and his hoomins come first.

Off Topic:

Today we moved Lily outside. Last night all the kitties got new flea collars. This morning my daughter moved Lilly onto the back porch for breakfast. Lilly doesn’t want to be outside without people so we have been hanging around with her outside. She wants to be an indoor, alpha-female, and only cat. When she’s indoors, she gets aggressive with the other cats. She also gets aggressive with people. I’m building her a shelter on the back porch and the weather has been beautiful so she shouldn’t have any problem with that.

Database has been ecstatic that Lilly isn’t around picking fights. She was alpha-female first and is almost twice Lilly’s size. Several times a day there were three-way cat fights which isn’t good for anybody.

And then there’s Reboot. He keeps asking why Lilly gets to go out and he doesn’t. He and Lilly sit on opposite sides of the front door and yell at each other. I’m anticipating a loud night.

I’m not sure who to blame, but my copy of Lupin Leaps In came today. I did NOT get a single thing done.

Elvis’s ear position is perfect.
