Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 27, 2020

And full color is restored to the world!

Who needs expensive towel warmers when you’ve got cats?

Elvis is so considerate.

Must not forget the cat hair! We peoples get so cold with little hair on our bodies. The cats must show compassion for us pitiful, mostly-hairless creatures!

Without the cat hairs, other cats won’t know that she has an owner.

Our youngest kitty loves sleeping on towels, but she never naps on my shower towel. Maybe I should show her this to give her ideas.

No outfit is complete without cat hair!

I am glad to see that Elvis is closing his eyes in panel 4, respecting the Woman’s modesty.

Without Elvis to guard it, that towel would be doomed.

I ❤️ Elvis.

Elvis is so considerate in his napping.

The Peanut Butter Phantom

Trevor: Thanks, Snoops. I owe you one!

Snoopy: Any time, Trev!

Trevor: Well, ladies, you have everything you need. Peanut Butter and chocolate.

(Sometime Later)

Alice:(Intro: Music of the Night) Now it’s snack time!

Combining two delicious flavors as one!

We were doing it all in good fun

For our snack time!

Agnes: You’re all welcome to join us in having candy delights!

Try our treats, they really cannot be beat!

Our sweet candy, sweet candy!

Robber Mouse Ensemble: (Music of the Night)

Sweet milk chocolate

Filled with peanut butter!

Intense dark chocolate,

Flavor like no other!

Fell free to eat up,

Have a peanut butter cup!

Homemade for our favorite kitty friends!

Come and share our joy that has no end!

Puck: After hard work, it really can’t hurt,

Put things to rights, now enjoy just dessert!

Elvis: Hard working cats deserve,

To enjoy without reserve,

A wonderful, decadent candy sight!

Chocolate, peanut butter delights!

All together:

No one cares if the Phantom is real or a myth,

All good friends sharing joy and candy, too!

Who cares about the calorie count?

We are having fun in such a great amount!

All: There was drama, music and sensation!

For our theatre, for the whole duration!

Now the story ends, we finish with all of our friends!

And we finish feeling quite alright!

With chocolate, peanut butter, what delights!

Reminds me of the tv commercial where the woman says “Don’t use the white towel, that’s Fluffy’s towel!” just after her guest has wiped dog hair all over his face.

Cats try to compensate for your hair loss, hyoomans.

Elvis is mega considerate, if I try to take a towel, any type of clothing or especially a comfortable cushion or pillow from under my cats I am usually met with resistance, a scowl and the occasional protest meow but possession is 90% of the law when it come to cats and napping spots……

I bet that towel is so warm and toasty right now!

Does the Woman have any idea of what (selfless) Elvis does for her??

Sultan doesn’t just rub his head on my face, he pushes into it! And makes sure he covers my mouth as well.. LOL!

Elvis is so thoughtful! He’s got every aspect of the towel experience covered! (in cat hair)

I see the Lupin Goldie scenario remains unresolved entirely. As I guess it does in real life.

Lord love them! :-|

Yeah, that’s pretty much it. We all can relate.

What a considerate, good boy, Elvis.

Honestly, I’m surprised the Woman was able to pick up the towel, unless Elvis got off willingly. Now that I read this, yeah, that’s probably it.

Local cat is so brave to guard the towel for the Woman. Some other cat might want to sneak onto it.

a little Elvis for Elvis?

Cat Almighty

I feel my temperature rising

Higher & higher

It’s burning through to this towel

Girl, girl, girl

I’m gonna set it on fire

My body’s flaming

I don’t know how high it’ll go

Cat have mercy

I’m burning a hole where I lay

I’m just a hunk, a hunk-a burning fur

Just a hunk, a hunk-a shedding fur

Just a hunk, a hunk-a burning purrs

[Dennis Linde]

How considerate of you, Elvis…she would have missed those hairs, once she discovered she was dry and fur-free after using a non-Elvisicized towel! But thanks your vigilance, she was able to come away from her shower covered with fresh Elvis souvenirs after drying off. Thanks for sharing

When you were a real small child, brand new in training pants, your parent would accompany you to the bathroom to provide moral support.

Now, whenever we are in a bathroom we have our cats in the bathroom, providing moral support.

OT: Safe for now…

Today is:

National Banana Lovers Day —Wouldn’t you really rather be a banana (pepper) too? Why? Just because.

National Tarzan Day —See, if you were a banana, you could swing from trees, too. Just because bananas are fruit shouldn’t stop you. (Actually, I’m told bananas are technically an herb. Why? Just because.)

World Rock, Paper, Scissors Day —Which is how I choose what day it is. Why? Just because.

Are you beginning to see a pattern, here? Why? Just because it’s

Just Because Day —Why? Just because.

Peekaboo was absolutely fascinated with the smell of my wet hair—the brand of shampoo didn’t matter. I had to be careful because she would ecstatically sniff and rub her face all over my head as if I had sprinkled it with catnip. I would let her enjoy it for a while, but when she started chewing on my hair, the game was over!

I feel like I need to get my black cat Charlton a lifeguard tee shirt. When I get into the tub he comes running and either perches on the toilet or tub and watches me intently. Not sure how he thinks he would drag me out of the tub if things went south.

I try to buy cat-colored towels.

I must be the only person here who doesn’t allow their cats in the bathroom. Diesel can open cabinets (and Raven is learning from him) and this limits where I can safely store my cleaning chemicals. But they know that after-shower-time is brushing-and-midnight-breakfast-time, so they don’t seem to mind that much.

Elvis switches from slightly annoyed in panel two to smugly self effacing in panel three, to smugly humble (if Elvis could ever be truly humble) in panel four.

Elvis loaf!

Mailman sighting today! Actually, a female of the species . . . they’re not apocryphal!

That’s very kind of you, Elvis.

Bad Elvis. Very bad. You’re supposed to let her rinse them off and dry off so you can properly get them back on her without her body wash being able to mask your scent.

SOP is to shake out the bath towel just like you would a small rug. Snap Snap Snap…while holding your breath.

According to Georgia on Instagram, Elvis really does this: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZnNbepefu/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

…or perhaps https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZnNbepefu/

We all could guess that!

I love Elvis’ valet service! My cats like to do that also! Especially re-depositing the hairs.

The Woman doesn’t shake out the towels? How long has she had cats? Does she like cat hair on her body?

My Siamese Zoe used to guard me every time I went in the shower. She would sit in front of the shower door

Wear your cat fur with pride. Best sung to the tune of “Keep Your Sunny Side Up” as a poorly executed Ted Lewis imitation.

Has anybody seen any recent posts by Bill Jackson? I’m starting to worry.

Off topic, but is anyone else having trouble with GoComics in Firefox? The past couple of days I’ve had to launch Chrome to see the comics.

My problem (okay, so this is really a humble brag) is that I am the warm towel. Whenever I try to remove a body part from under one of the two cats in my avatar, my clothing or skin is snagged by a claw, as if to say you ain’t going nowhere. Bill doesn’t glare, he just smiles comfortably. And I? Even if my butt is sore from sitting too long, or my legs have gone numb under his weight, I feel so loved…

OT: Me…

Now that’s service! We could all use a little more Elvis in our lives …

My cats, Pansy and Noor, first associated the sound of the toilet flushing with being fed in the morning. However, now Pansy comes in and talks to me and bats my legs with an increasingly sharp little paw hoping to get me to feed her whenever I’m in the bathroo no matter what time it is.
