Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 06, 2020

Beep-beep! We have a right-of-way issue on the traffic report today!

…and the return of the Big Brave Guardian pose. Goldie’s so patient.

Lupin is so frustrated. How can you have a good snit when someone is so patient?

Goldie’s ?-shaped tail is so pretty!♥

OMC, Lupin! Let it go! You got your tape recorder back. There’s enough room on the couch for all of you. If you stop to count the bowls, I have no doubt you’ll discover there’s one for each of you. I think it’s time for an intervention.

Somecat is having issues.

I know I’ve said this before but Lupin’s goin’ totally ‘Thimblefist’ in panel 3.

Yes, he got the tape recorder back, but Goldie has never apologized for taking it in the first place.. I think Lupin has a right to still be angry. of course, it would be better if he told her WHY he was angry, so they could straighten this out, but no one’s purrfect.

Fastening my seatbelt for the bumpy ride!

Until explanations and apologies are presented, the relationship between Goldie and Lupin is doomed.

Well, Lupin. You’d better get adjusted to her. For she’s here to stay!

My black cat, Tar, is like that. Whatever dish the other cats are eating from, that’s the dish he wants. I think he’s afraid he will be missing out on something or one of the other cats will be getting something different. Nutty cat.

Poor Lupin! But he needs to stop being passive aggressive and confront Goldie about the recorder.

Lupin seems like a very reasonable cat.But he has issues with Goldie.I figured it would be Elvis who would be intractable.

I hate it when I want to argue and everyone is patient and understanding!

This reminds me of a tv show: Everyone Loves (Lupin). But I love Elvis.

Lovin’ that Goldie tongue.

Lupin is adjusting. He’s not so poofy now. It’s a process.

Lupin is still being such a Lord of the Snit. Baba really needs to straighten him out before the dark side consumes him.

Smart kitty, now she gets to taste all the dishes , while looking ohh so reasonable.

Lupin-Mine mine mine! Goldie-Okay… Lupin-No! You’re supposed to get mad! Goldie-Um…no. Lupin-FSSSSSSST!!

I very sincerely hope that this story will be resolved by reason and justice, by explanation and apology, rather than have the conflict suppressed by some sentimental slop or a “Goldie does something nice for Lupin” fake ending.

Oh dear, the hierarchy begins.

Lupin toe beans!

::Whirrrrrrrrrrr::

Puck: “Drone camera footage is showing us a pile-up at the food bowls this morning. Other cats might want to take alternate routes to the bowls and allow extra time for feeding while authorities clear up the congestion.”

BCN PSA – “Food Bowl Rage. Don’t let it happen to you.”

Sheena Easton – A Little Tenderness

In my mind, Goldie sings this upbeat, catchy tune:

You know the way I feel about you all

Don’t wanna spend my life without love.

So isn’t it time for you to show me

How badly you wanna get to know me now.

You’re never gonna make me go away – I don’t want you to be so mean.

If you can find a way to let me know

I wanna know you care about me.

Try a little tenderness – has it ever crossed your mind?

Try a little tenderness – I think you’ll be surprised at what you find.

Gotta let togetherness – prove without a doubt you really don’t mind me.

Try a little tenderness – sometime.

All of your moves were made to oust me

You got no further since you met me.

You still won’t treat me like I want you to

Every day’s like a no-win stand with you.

Is it really worth the hating? – WellI still don’t know.

Do you think your poofiness will hurt me so?

Try a little tenderness – has it ever crossed your mind? . . .

If I could see you smiling there could be a silver lining.

Don’t let this chance be wasted

Please make me feel appreciated.

Show you’re not mad at me all the time

Oh!

Try a little tenderness – has it ever crossed your mind? . . .

Try a little tenderness – try a little tenderness -

Try a little tenderness – sometime.

This sounds just like dinner time at our house. The group typically starts with a regular set of positions and before dinner is over, everyone has spent some time at nearly every position. It is funny to see who starts each shift by pushing someone off of their bowl.

Poofy-pants doesn’t sense which way the winds are blowing, does he? :-D

Lupin channels Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory…”That’s My Spot”!

AAAAARRRRHHHHH MMMEEEOOOOWWYYOOWWLLL

Lupin shakes his little paws of rage!

I like the way Puck has one side of his mouth screwed up. I invite comments about the emotion expressed.

Poor guy. Change is so hard.

We have reports of partial poofage at the food bowls. Stay tuned for coverage of updates as they happen.

Don’t be such a sourpuss, Lupin.

I like how Georgia keeps the continuity from several months ago, when she gave us the scoop on “Whisker Fatigue”! The crew is eating off of flat dishes instead of bowls now.

(aka LadyKat) Lupin, there’s plenty of food to go around. While you waste time screeching at Goldie, she will move calmly from bowl to bowl, and she will have a full tummy.

It’s a good thing that Goldie has such an even temper.

Lupin, stop being Elvis.

Neckties tend to make humans cranky. Perhaps Lupin would benefit from a more relaxed dress code.

Oh no, just wait until he gets a smaller share of tuna water!

Did we ever hear from/about LadyBri?

The real-life “Battle of the Bowls”:

Happy Shortbread Day!

Lupin’s tail looks great in fluffy mode.

Ah, sibling life . . . =)

Lupin, stop being hoggy.

Goldie is a role model for dealing with some coworkers.

C’mon, Lupin, there is a full, untouched bowl right in front of you!

I’m looking forward to when Lupin and Goldie come to some sort of understanding. Just think of the stories they can investigate. Might lead to a lot of songs, just sayin’.

I hope this doesn’t turn out to reenact the diner scene in Bad Day at Black Rock!!!! (that’s where Spencer Tracy & Ernest Borgnine work out who sits on which counter stool…)

Lupin = me 6 years old

Goldie is one nonplussed pussycat, that she is! An effective stance to Lupin.

Now, Lupin! Don’t have a kit-hemorrhage!! :)

I carefully placed three dishes of equal amounts of food in an equilateral triangle. Before either of the adult cats could eat, Colette jumped into the middle, “Everybody, be cool!” She carefully examined all three bowls. “OK, I’ll have this one.” She was only a kitten but firmly established the principle of “first choice”.

Pick a lane, Lupin

“All your bases belong to us”.

oop i was wrong tire still fighting lol d:P

Dear orb, several months ago I complained of night sweats and daily not flashes. You told me to get checked out. I do have some issues. Thank you all. My deficiencies are diagnosed. Now my doctor has to assemble the parts. I have lost 20 lbs in a month. Yes it was extra weight, but usually I lose weight one calorie at a time. Not this easily. Thank you all who said I needed the doctor. I’ll keep you posted as I don’t feel one shot better. But at least my doctor is On the case.

Off-Topic

Whine – kidney stones totally rot.

That is all.

I just noticed that Goldie seems to still be wearing that relaxed comfy robe she was wearing last Friday. (Still in her recuperation mode?) I’m very curious to see what her style will settle out to be, indoors where she doesn’t have to be a tough girl!

A woman I work with complained that I was using ”her cup” today, even though it was in the shared coffee cup area and was not marked with her name AND she was using another cup at the time. I should send her a link to this comic.

I am a cat photographer by trade. If you’re are doing something cute, I’ll come shoot it.

This totally reminds me of Georgia’s facebook and instagram posts showing us meal times with her furry 4. :)
