Nothing wrong with smelling like Thanksgiving, Pucky. :D You are fabulousness personified! Mmmmmm! Paw-lickin’ good! Happy Sunday Orbsters! :) (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))
By the way. The Hubs is completely over his bout with COVID-19, passed his “three days with no symptoms” and will return to his job tomorrow, which will be day #8 of no symptoms, because his company was shut down for two weeks. It was a very mild case for him. I am past my 14 days of staying home because I was exposed to his virus. So far, so good. Stay tuned. Blessings to everybody out there.
At the colony, it’s not uncommon for the cats to get dripped on with the food. On their heads, backs, sometimes tails (not sure how they do that one, but they do).
Today is Packrat Day, so let’s hear it for the Rat Pack!
Frankly, I think they should have a day. They may have, in some ways, been rats, but oh could they sing.
Now let’s get back to the real day, Packrat Day. I am one, I confess. I know all too well the truth of the saying: “Junk is something you keep for ten years, then throw out the day before you desperately need it.”
Now, in my case, I’m no longer an Orthodox Packrat. I am now a Reformed Packrat. All that STUFF is organized. What’s more, if something has been sitting around a long time, hasn’t been used or re-purposed (“Junkyard Wars” style) I recycle it.
Now if only I could find a way to re-purpose cat hair …
Puck is like our panther boy. He also gets really excited for breakfast- at 5am. I don’t share his enthusiasm, but I do love seeing him race down the stairs and mill about in the kitchen. So far, he has not been anointed with turkey gravy despite his best efforts.
Last night I gave the kitties tuna water. They seemed quite excited and grateful. At least, I think that’s why when I was eating my tuna noodle, I had one by each foot, looking up at me adoringly.
Imagine for just a moment that the drop of cat food on Puck’s head is pineapple flavored. Can’t you just see Puck trying with vast determination to lick the top of his own head?
I just give up on GoComics sometimes, like now, when I clicked on reply and got taken to the initial page, click on comic to see the whole thing and then after that you can see comments that will again take you back to the initial page when you click on them. I thought HTML should be stable by now.

Hmmmm. I really don’t remember cat food figuring in the Icarus myth.

If Puck smelled like gravy, sage stuffing, and pumpkin pie, I might be tempted to give him a lick, too! ;D

Hmm. Could a Sun made out of cat food potentially work? Could it exist? A lot of cats would pull an Icarus if our Sun was made out of cat food.

Everyone’s your best friend when you’re covered in food.

And as far as we’re concerned
Glad we got the chance to say
That you must believe, we’ll groom you
And if food should ever go astray
Well then close your eyes and you
Can feel our tongues today
And then if you can, remember
Keep smiling, keep dining
Knowing you can always count on us, for sure
That’s what friends are for
With good food and bad food
We’ll clean your head and sides forever more
That’s what friends are for

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Oh yes, I have heard they are a marvelous band!
Arachna: They sure are. They are so good, we haven’t eaten them.
Lennon-Net: Your Majesty, we wish to play for you a song from Salt and Pepper’s Lovely Hearts Club Band.
Serfig-Aro: (To Lupinium) Who needs Beatles anyway?
The Scarabs:
What would you do if I dropped the cat food?
Would you stand up and get mad at me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a tune,
And I will let the cat food be.
Oh, I’ll get by with a little bit of help from the can,
Oh, I’ll fly high with a little help from the can,
Oh, I will share with a little help from the can.
Do you need anybody?
I have all my friends to love,
Could it be anybody?
I’m fine with all my orb friends to love!
