Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 16, 2019

Is Tommy flashing them?

SPOILER ZONE

Poor Tommy! Find a dry spot, Lupin can’t hear you!

Viking Tommy?

Is this the introduction to Goldie?!?!?!

The blackout is very au courant given the blackout in New York a couple of days ago. So maybe we can fantasy assume that blackout extended to the big pink house.

New cat! Wow!

What I want to know is, WHAT IS SHE WEARING?

Elvis is about to get even poofier.

I don’t think anybody has mentioned it, so: Goldy toe beans!

Goldy’s clothes (costume?). Might it be a wrestling outfit?

I am getting a sort of

Rocky Horror Picture Show

vibe from today’s strip.

There’s A Light

Over at the BCN Place…

Who is that poor, doomed, creature in the window?

Oh my goodness! Was that Goldie in the window?!

Is that Burt the barn cat in the background? Where’d he go?

Hopefully, the poor cat will be rescued from despair.

Figures Lupin would not be intimidated by lightening. We know that Elvis is with the People and losing it, but I wonder where Pucky is?

I’m beginning to think there must be a “Cat Lovers Live Here” sign on the Big Pink House. Or is this just “word of whisker” information passed (pawed?) down by cats over the years.

The clothing looks like “I Dream of Jeannie.”

I must say, I’m with Lupin when it comes to lightening – I love it. You’ll find me outside on my porch with my camera during most thunderstorms!

A mysterious redhead appears. Sounds like the plot of many noir films.

It’s GOLDIE!!!

“When in doubt, do something.” – Harry Chapin (12/07/1942 – 07/16/1981)

If I had Kitty Katz’s talent for parody lyrics, I’d be doing something with the theme from “Flashdance” right now . . .

So’s that randomly appearing and disappearing kitty in the window!

OT: Kitten update

Maybe it’s Streaky the Super Cat??!! (from the DC Comics universe) … or it could this Goldie, of whom some things have been spoken here!… :)

Anyone know how Jasper is doing?

Sad wet cat alert.

Just saw Bohemian Rhapsody – Is Goldie styling Queen?

Yes! The promised introduction of Goldie! Happy dance!

If I could ask the Orb for some good vibes and headbonks, they would be much appreciated. Spent the morning at an emergency vet visit for my Hemingway. After blood work and x-rays, it looks like he has a blockage. Surgery is a financial impossibility so we are trying to help it pass with fluids, laxatives and antibiotics (because his white blood cell count was up). I am a big ball of nerves (and tears) so could definitely use some good vibes if anyone has some to spare.

Power is for the people; you guys have those super-peepers that require no artificial lighting.

I wonder if the studio cameras are working on battery backup or if Burt rigged up a generator for them…

Oh no!

Georgia did a TimeHop for us and tweeted out some pics from 7 years ago, when they had a new little white boycat.

(I hope that works—I don’t have an Instagram link for it. There are three pics, one of which has baby Lupin chewing on Puck)

There is definitely a sign somewhere that says “Home for wayward female cats. Just go to the window.” Elvis cannot resist girls. Boys yes, girls no.

OT..Public Service Announcement.

Was just leafing thru the AARP Bulletin, familiar to all us seniors. In an article on saving money there is a reference to locating assistance with pet expenses. Go to HumaneSociety.org. Tap the magnifying glass icon for Search. Type in ‘affording your pet’ and you will find links to many services. The first result is “Are you having trouble affording your pet?” It takes you to a list of National Organizations and a little further down is a search by state grid.

So I had to come here right away to pass the word that there is more possible help out there than I had known.

I agree with Lupin – lightning is pretty dang cool.

Is that who I hope it is?

Lupin can enjoy the lightning because he can’t hear the thunder. However, if the lightning strike is close by, he probably can feel the concussion from the blast.

Ah, yes. No thunder for Lupin.

Just “mewsing” on the Madonna line of thought…

I can imagine the possibility of a near-future situation that will be like:

Get into the groove, boys, you’ve got to prove your love to me…

Inclement weather seems to throw homeless kitties upon the friendly shore of the Big Pink House with some regularity.♥

Someone asked earlier (either yesterday or today, but I can’t find it) if they make thunder shirts for cats. The answer is yes, they do make them in very small sizes, appropriate for both cats and toy breeds of dogs. We bought one for Akiro in hopes that it would help him with his storm anxiety … and it did work, after a fashion. He spent the next hour attempting to extricate himself from it, and was entirely distracted from the thunder. I’ll never understand how he managed to get out of that thing, but he did. I’m sure others have had better success, but our cat is always a special case.

Do the boys know that there is a news medium that doesn’t rely on electronic transmission? https://www.gocomics.com/wrong-hands/2019/07/16?ct=v&cti=2084216

Uhhhhh, SO glad I dropped by today!!!
