Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 14, 2020

Let’s hear it for chaotic-neutral Lupin!!! :D squeeeeeee

A five-way nope-out.

Tail poofs! I guess that spider was bigger than they bargained for.

Love the D&D reference!

I wonder where all the characters stand on a DnD alignment chart

Puck: Lawful Good (all-around good boy).

Elvis: Lawful Neutral (stern but fair).

Goldie: Neutral Good (her thief-in-a-good-cause past pushes her out of the lawful alignment).

And of course Lupin is a Chaotic Neutral – they have more fun!

Hey! The spider just wants to par-ty!

And they all noped on outta there!

Time to fetch the newspaper. If only they had a dog.

Puffy tails!!!!!!

What’s worse than a spider, you ask?

A giant cockroach walking across the ceiling.

He’s so big he’s looking for Spider Kitty Treats!

So Puck’s a good boy, Lupin’s nuts and Elvis just wants to complain. And the Spider’s a swinger.

Lying here in bed next to my sleeping hubby and trying SO HARD to contain my giggles. I feel that last panel in my soul!

If that’s a phidippus audax, they have both the jumping and the bold down!

Awwww, Spidey just wants to play!

The woman came close to a poof as well!

If She-Who-Has-Been-Known-To-Scatter-Pieces-Of-Huntsman-Spiders-Around-The-House were there, that spider would be doomed.

The spider appears to have a red marking. Could it be a black widow? That would be an extra-good reason to vacate ASAP!

Three very good reasons for reticence.

Even the Woman is poofed!

What a brave lot they are. LOL

The poor spider comes for a party and everybody leaves.

Spiders and cockroaches etc, always remind me of the feast scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Once seen never forgotten. Excuse me while I rush to the bathroom.

And spider is Neutral Evil!

Lupin is chaotic neutral. Wow, that is a blast from the past with that old D&D reference. No wonder he is at odds with Goldie who as sheriff is lawful (neutral or good).. The robber mice are textbook chaotic good.

I wonder if Spider got the reaction he was looking for.

I’m a pacifist as well. That last panel is pretty much my reaction to spiders that drop in uninvited.

OMC, when faced with some insect or arachnid invader in my house, how many times have I looked at my four cats, who are riveted in place watching it, and asked the same question. “Who’s going to deal with this? Anyone? You’re cats. This is part of your contract.” And they just sit there!

Barely there but it counts Lupin toe beans!

TIM: I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little spider, isn’t it? Well, it’s always the same. I always tell them—

ARTHUR: Oh, shut up!

TIM: Do they listen to me?

ARTHUR: Right!

TIM: Oh, no…

KNIGHTS: Charge!

[swing swing swing]

KNIGHTS: Aaaaugh!, Aaaugh!, etc.

ARTHUR: Run away! Run away!

KNIGHTS: Run away! Run away!…

Whiskers, cat tongues, toe beans and poofy tails were the highlights of a fun arc this week. Love the last panel!

Enter THE MAN! LOL!

Lupin is chaotic neutral? I thought he was chaotic good.

Run! It’s Lolth! She’s way above our party level!

Clock strikes upon the hour

And the sun begins to fade

Still enough time to figure out

How to chase the cats away

I’ve done all right alone now

It’s my funky moves that show me how

But while I slowly fall, I loudly call

Oh, I wanna dance with somebody

I wanna feel my feet on somebody

Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody

With somebody who watched me

(Don’tcha wanna dance say you wanna dance

Don’tcha wanna dance)

I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) – Whitney Houston

O MY CAT!!! This must be one of the funniest strip yet. Love every panel, especially the spider Hello party people and all the puffed up tails….Geroria you just made my day.

Let’s look up how to handle this on the web.

So the “chittering” didn’t work.

Nope. Spider = vacuum wand.

Okay we have a new winner for BCN sayings: Lupin – I’m Chaotic Neutral!

Love those puffy tails

There’s a whole lot a Nopin’ going on!

Love the AD&D reference.

NOPE!

The Woman’s hair acting as her poof!

Just say nope, nope, NOPE!!!

OFF TOPIC: PAUL

Three days of treatment down, two to go, and on Friday we meet with doctors to review treatment to date and discuss next move.

Channeling their intrepid, dauntless ancestors from the grasslands of Africa and Asia. Inspirational!

Come on Puck – give us a word for bigger than huge.

I’m with the Woman and Lupin – Aurghhhhhhh!

“I’m gonna nope myself right outta my square,

I’m gonna nope myself right outta my square,

I’m gonna nope myself right outta my square,

The spider’s on his way!"

Do we have a new character for the strip? Could make things interesting.

ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh Georgia, that is great. I really shouldn’t read this comic when I’m drinking my morning coffee!

That spider knows how to clear a room.

According to his Man, Albert A. Cat is lawful neutral. There are rules, and they should be followed because that’s what’s best for everyone, especially Albert.

Who knew the kitties played D&D and would be chaotic neutral :)

To paraphrase Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, “They gone!”

Unique spider – I posted this before but at end of day so I’m repeating. Truly different. I remember when it was first discovered, people thought it was a weird fungus, not an even weirder spider web. https://www.mirror.co.uk/science/spider-spins-mysterious-silkhenge-structure-21299346

I wonder what is going to happen when the spider meets up with the July Bug in few weeks.

…And in a totally predictable plot twist, Lupin Leaps Out!

But…I love spiders….

Hey, Georgia is a gamer!

Throwback Thursday January 26th and 27th 2018 I had to so both of them. Comment do below one of your favorite past bcns

Today is Dance Like a Chicken Day …

Chickens dance?

Okay, how many of you remember how to do the Funky Chicken?

How many of you can still do it without physical injury?

Impressive poofage all aaround.

Great, they get the one spider who was bitten by a radioactive DJ.

…and in the point where the wall met the ceiling, in a neat web-print, the words SOME CAT

All the “chittering” going on yesterday makes me wonder if that’s the same as the (I can’t even spell it) “Nyheh. NyhehNyheh. NyhehNyhehNyhehNyheh. NyhehNyhehNyheh” that MapleSyrup used to do out the window at one specific large bird at the feeder, mostly ignoring all the metric bonkers of other birds visiting.

We have an appointment today at the otherwise closed Animal Welfare Shelter to look for Maple’s Successor Cat.

I like spiders. They are fascinating, and have beautiful artwork.

What’s “chaotic neutral”? I know what each of those words mean, but when you combine them, I’m at a loss.

Wow four fluffed tails! I love Lupin’s D&D reference IMHO he is chaotic good

And that is what kids now call noping right out of there. “Nope” is now a verb.

Long ago I made a deal with all the spiders around. If they stay out of my way, preferably where I don’t even have to see them, I would leave them alone. So far all of us have honored that. I’m sure we look just as scary and weird to them as they do to us. Some of us.

Nope.

What’s her name?

So, is Lupin going to make good on his threat to jump right out a window?

“Four cats? Anyone?” had me rofling!

And another BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Just love Lupin’s response!

We had an unusual looking spider on the ceiling of our motorhome yesterday afternoon. The awning installation guy pointed it out, commenting he’s pro-spider. I looked at it and said that my husband would be “getting rid of it” shortly, which he did. With a napkin. Now there’s a spot on the fabric ceiling.

Party like there’s no tomorrow!

His Majesty would have dispatched that spider before I even knew it was there. Between him and the girls any bugs don’t stand a chance. I have to rescue HM from spiders some days. We have Black Widows and HM doesn’t understand venomous spiders. Like the reporters picture hangers get stalked too.

BRING ALL THE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!

The Woman did not get fluffy.

Their all going to die.

Spiders are our friends.

They eat nasty pesky other bugs.

And they are delicious.

Outside cat update:

False alarm. One huge meal and no sign since. Neither cat has been spotted since the wet/dry was served up.

We have, of course, seen an instant resumption of daily raccoon visits, so the feeding is halted. Unless the kitties return.

Please don’t mention centipedes again—havent seen one in my house for ages until I was accosted by one in my kitchen a few minutes ago. He got a trip to Drainland on his way to the septic tank. Now I’ve got the “Trilogy of Terror” segment (or was it “Night Gallery”) im my head where the spider sent down the drain keeps coming back larger and larger until it fills the whole bathtub and the people are…well, Robin knows.

Hey! When everyone looks up, the woman has no whiskers! What’s wrong with this picture?

Last night we got over to my mom’s, and she had left a note out on the table with the message. “The laundry room light is on, there is a large black spider over the cabinet, KILL IT!” I figured it was one of the annoying black jumping spiders..no it was a very large wolf spider, just slightly smaller than my hand. We took care of it, but I do wonder if some of the ones living in the farmhouse project hitchhiked.

That is quite the mamajama of spiders!

So, the mighty hunter score is:Goldie, avid hunter but only kills to eat. Puck, friendly hippy-dippy would literally not hurt a fly. Elvis, the intelectual, highly informed conscientious objector. (probably is tenured at some University). Lupin, avid sport hunter who is easily distracted by other distractions only perceived by him.

She really has laid out the cast of your average Agatha Christie novel.

Ok, spider, the Woman and the cats are NOT Little Miss Muffett.

He causes a not-so-Quiet Riot.

“Cum on Feel the Noize

Spidey, rock those boys!” (and Goldie and The Woman)

We used to have jumper spiders that were big enough that you could hear their legs on the hardwood floor. If the cat batted them mid hop they fly halfway across the room

Chaotic Neutral. To quote a poster I once saw: Hide the peanut butter, it’s about to get weird.

I believe that this is the first time I have seen Pucky with only 1 paw. Love his toe beans and the cape just like the barber shop just soooooo super cute

Chaotic neutral Lupin… I’m dead. LOL

what’s worse than a worm in your apple?

Half a worm.

Lupin and I have the same opinion with Spiders- NO!

Sis: Chaotic Neutral in D&D means you basically have no morals
