Elvis makes a good point about those lascivious gnomes: for Cat’s-sake, there are people-kittens in the house! And one actual kitten, but I suspect her sensibilities are not easily offended by gnomes. (Puck’s sweet little paws in the last panel, Elvis’ curmudgeonliness, and Lupin’s needing to get into everything are such lovely expressions of their personalities.)♥
Boy am I glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read this! ROTFL!! TOO funny! Leave it to Lupin to want to destroy the gyrating gnomes, leave it to Elvis to feel righteously outraged, disgusted and shocked by the fecund pair, and leave it to Pucky to be swept up in the romance of the whole affair! Panel 3 is my favourite, very telling: It says this dancing little couple is ultimately doomed as Robin will concur.
Emile Coue, French psychologist, first propagator of self suggestion, once told the world to tell themselves, “Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better”. Describes BCN perfectly!!
Thanks to everyone who wished me well during the storms yesterday. There was no damage where I live now, but I’m looking at a house this afternoon that was just blocks from a small tornado touchdown. Maybe it’s a sign.
It’s such a cute little music box, Lupin, surely your higher instincts will kick in and you will let the Man and the Woman enjoy it.
On another note, I had a lovely day with my daughter Chris and great-granddaughter Saphira yesterday, we raided a garden center and I got two peonies, two nice rosebushes and two bleeding hearts; all in two-gallon pots and beautifully healthy. I also got two hanging baskets for our deck, some dahlia bulbs and perennial seeds. Hopefully the little garden patch the landlord has around his tree will be nicely transformed and have something other than day lilies. I was also treated to lunch at a Japanese restaurant. We gorged until we could eat no more. Lovely, lovely sushi.
That’s right, Elvis. How dare the hyoomanoid gnomes do nose rubbing? Nose rubbing is a bonafide trademark registered to cat creatures! This is a blatant copyright violation, I say!
Along with all the perfect kitty reactions, I love the Man’s resignation. He knows Lupin will smash the figurine, but he’s just hoping to delay the inevitable until after the Woman has seen it. BTW, are they still being threatened by the robot bird?
. . . Per Georgia Dunn: “Yes, the music box from today’s BREAKING CAT NEWS strip is real. (Please avert your eyes from the gyrating gnomes, if you’re like Elvis and do not care for smut in your social media feeds!)”
A small tornado touched down here early Saturday morning. Our house is fine but 4 trees were knocked down and uprooted at my youngest daughter’s house. One missed her car by inches but took out all the electricity boxes and such on that side of the house and is currently resting against the side of the roof of her bedroom. It also picked up her storage building and tossed it over the fence where it landed upside down in the alley. At least we were able to rescue her new lawn mower from it.
Jerika is fine, she hid in her closet, but she feels like a terrible mom because she didn’t take her two kitties into the closet with her. The city has cut her off from electricity at the pole because the lines were knocked down and are on the ground held in place by trees. She had called 911 after it was over and they said that since there was no loss of life or human injuries, they would have to get to her after they took care those who were injured. She’s fine with that, but no one ever came by or called. The city did have crews working on her block to cut trees away from the power lines and poles. We told them about the downed lines and that’s when they said that all they were allowed to do was disconnect her from the grid at the pole.
It may be several days before an insurance adjuster can get to her so she is staying at her grandma’s house half a block away. At least she has insurance that should cover most of the repairs. At her grandma’s house the only damage was a trellis that was knocked down. The house next door to Grandma’s had a large storage building that was totally demolished and a tree fell on the car parked in their backyard.
If you like music boxes, you might like a new book series I discovered recently that involves a music box shop. The first book in the series is A Fatal Collection(Keepsake Cove Mystery #1)by Mary Ellen Hughes. Of course there’s a cat, and just a hint of magic in at least one of the music boxes:)

Man, in this instance, I think Lupin is doing you a BIG favor.
Love the way the music staff turns into a heart. I wonder what tune it’s playing?
