Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 27, 2019

Hey… me first? Wow…

Priorities! “It’s the end of the world as we know it…” (Hi Bill!)

Lupin, a Climate Change denier?

This is one of my favourite cat conversations of all time.♥

#BelieveAllCats

Good job, Pucky.

“I validate you”? What on earth is that supposed to mean?

You can deny anything without proof.

And with it too.

Lupin looks like he’s having an Elvis Glare moment in panel three. Elvis really is giving him lessons!

Wow, I’ve never seen our Cat of Adventure so upset! He could rival Mr. Angry Fussy Paws in the third and fourth panels. Poor Lupin, no one believes him. Maybe he should swipe Pucky’s camera and snap a piccie of the elusive ginger kitty. ♥

That’s right, Lupin. It’s only a silly superstition!

Something must be done to stop those evil leaves.

Lupin toe beans and Pucky toe beans!

The terror must be stopped before they leaf a mark on all life.

Is Puck veering towards an “ad felinem” attack?

He’s a little busy right now, Lupin – saving all life as he knows it. Can you set up a meeting to discuss this “strange cat” for tomorrow when imminent death isn’t on the line?

Four panels of Puck’s pretty purple ears!

Does Puck not “chitter” at the leaves as he shoos them away?

a topic that Puck will not have questioned!

Steely Dan asked that musical question: Are You Reelin’ in the Years?

The sightings of a strange new cat

May very well be true,

But Lupin, as you well know

I have important things to do.

So I’ll be glad to talk with you

Later in the day,

But you know I must stay here

And shoo these leaves away!

…….

Are you shooing all the leaves?

Covering up the ground?

If we do not chase them today,

Tomorrow nothing will be found!

…….

Puck, there really is no proof

The leaves do any harm,

But a strange orange cat lurking around

Is cause for such alarm!

I am sure the leaves can wait

For another day

But out there is a strange new cat

Who she is I cannot say!

…….

Are you shooing away the leaves?

When there could be a threat?

Leaves may really be a danger,

But we do not know that yet!

“I hear you and validate you” – Pucky practices active listening.

Excellent glare, Lupin. Puck, old man, you need to consult our upstairs neighbour. Yesterday he was trying to vacuum leaves during a thunderstorm.

Love the panel-by-panel shift of Lupin’s ears as his feelings deepen. Georgia is a genius at expressing cat emotions!

How to shift an absolute sweetheart from deep concern to prickly annoyance with one sentence!

Has anyone heard from Ronnie A. Thompson? He was supposed to see the doctor Monday and it’s now Friday with no word from him.

It is interesting to see Puck and Lupin at odds, usually it is Elvis and Lupin. Sweet Puck takes he responsibilities seriously and is trying to acknowledge Lupin’s concerns while still sticking to his important task. I think Lupin is just seeing though as Puck being condescending to him. Being the youngest he might feel like he isn’t being treated as an equal.

“It’s Life Puck, but not as we know it.”

“Not as we know it. Not as we know it.”

“It’s life Puck, but not as we know it.”

“Not as we know it, Pucky!”

To the tune of Star Trekkin’, Across the Universe.

Where o where has our Goldie gone? Oh where o where can she be?

OT in comments: things that should be required for employment as the coordinator of a clinical drug trial …

just introduce the new cat already!

OT: Eye Doc Report

The eye doc was THRILLED at how well the vision in my left eye has recovered. She said that of the half-dozen or so cases she’s seen (she’s 50ish, so one every 3 years or so?), mine has been the most complete recovery. It’s now correctible to a borderline 20/30 (I could make out 2 of 4 letters on the 20/30 line).

It’s still streaky & annoying, like looking thru an ancient, filthy window, but it’s continued to improve over the 6 months since the last time I was there. I’ll take it!

There is a cricket loose in the Office. Where is Lupin? We need him

To the LUPIN SIGNAL!

Lupin is manifesting his inner Elvis in the last panel. I wonder: I’ve been told that we tend to dislike people who have characteristics or traits we dislike in our selves, especially if those people are also otherwise similar to us—sort of a Jekyll and Hyde effect. I wonder if something similar is true of cats.

The proof is in the poof.

Lupin Leaves In.

Pucky the Brave! Founder of Guardians Against Leaves of Evil (G.A.L.E.), LOL!

My cats chase leaves because of the wonderful crackling sounds the leaves make when caught.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Lupin, BCN’s very own Elvis Impersonator!

I had the 3rd comment of the day, but it seems to have disappeared. What I said was, “Never disturb a cat on a mission. Lupin, you of all cats should know that.”

You tell him, Lupin. A ton of leaves falling a a single brick, that would be something to worry about. A ton of leaves falling as leaves do, fluttering down rather gently on the breeze, no need to worry as they’ll spread out.

Gasp! Lupin! That was mean!

I need Pucky saying “I hear you and validate you” hanging on a wall in my office. I work in community health with people with PTSD and they would love Puck!!

Miyu went easily when the time came. And I had an easier time with it thanks to all of you. Thanks for your help, BCN team.

Hello everyone. I have told you before that I live in eastern North carolina, usa. I am looking to adopt a calico or tortie with white female ( obviously) kitten or young adult to live indoors with my 3 male cats and female dog. Definitely will spay. I cannot find the Girl I want On internet in Pitt county nc. Do any of you have friends with litters or know organizations with young cats for adoption now? I have plenty of good references an excellent vets.

Oh, my Cat—not the killer leaves!

As Strob said, gotta set priorities in life.

Made me laugh.
