Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 10, 2021

I see my cats chasing nothing all the time. Either I have perennial leprechauns, or my boys do intensive off-season leprechaun training.

Who knew……! I had no idea of the evil lurking in the hearts of leprechauns!

That explains how Thimblefist lost a thimble. It’s a good thing Baba found it and returned it.

Is that feral trickster carrying off a cell phone, with a charger no less?!

What if you bait your traps with Cheshire Cheese? Will that cat catch them?

They can throw a truck? Is Marigold perhaps confusing Strongman Competitors with Leprechauns? To be fair, they do have the same build.

For those wondering about my comment from yesterday, to to June 29, 2020 and read through July 4.

As I see it, Thimblefist and the leprechaun are arm wrestling, using an empty thread spool as a table. They must have heisted a whole sewing kit in the past.

Also, yesterday was the first occurrence of “bitey” I can remember since Trevor was introduced by a chart that said “Dogs – our bitey enemy.”

A mystery is afoot!…Er, a-paw!

Goldie obviously learned a lot while she was an outdoor cat.

Could they be talking about ticks? Maybe one has somehow got in.

Is that what our old cat saw?!

Years ago, we were out in the back yard with our cat (Bundle), when she stopped – stared at one spot in the earth – raced forward, batting furiously at nothing – stopped for a moment, her eyes following… something…then dashed off, apparently in pursuit of nothing at all…

All this time, we had leprechauns?!

The leprechaun kind of reminds me of the troll in one of the parts of Stephen King’s movie “Cat’s Eye” where the cat seen throughout all the short stories kills the troll and saves the little girl’s life who I believe is a very young Drew Barrymore.

Are they going to unite the Cats and the Forest folk for the battle? I think Thimblefist will want to join.

Lepracoon? That looks like a rodent you’re chasing.

Hmmm, note that Goldie didn’t say Quinn farms is full of leprechauns – but lousy with them. Methinks there’s a story behind her choice of words.

I think that’s Goldie chasing the leprechaun who has a keyboard.

If laid back Burt doesn’t like ’em …

Maybe it’s time for sweet Puck to interview one and get the other side of the story.

Yum Yum has taken to racing madly around the apartment, all poofed out. I guess she’s chasing leprechauns.

Goldie seems to have the most experience with Leprechauns. They are hard to chase, because they Jig more than Jog!

My dogs don’t chase nothing they do stare down the hall when there’s nothing there though,I guess I might have a leprechaun infestation.OT- I got my braces last week and have to get 2 teeth pulled in an hour wish me luck!

The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: We have with us one of the Little Folk from the far-off land of Éireann. Thank you, sir for agreeing to speak with us today.

Leprechaun: No need to be formal, Mr. Cat. Just call me Paddy.

Puckmosis: Thanks, Paddy, and please call me Pucky.

Paddy: You know, ’tis a fine name, Pucky. I understand one of the faeries has a name similar to yours.

Puckmosis: I’ve heard of him. Legend has it he is a trickster, not unlike yourselves.

Paddy: All in fun, my friend. Do you have any tricksters amongst yourselves?

Enter a streak of white, furry lightning

Puckmosis: As a matter of fact we do. Let me introduce you to Lupinium.

I’ve been there — hope it went well. In a couple of days your mouth will feel like it’s yours again. In the meantime … unpleasant!

Oh, the feral tricksters. :D

oooo love to see the word “lousy” used! hahaha!!

Thimblefist arm wrestling the leprechaun!

OT: Morning Purring

Off Topic – Snow Sez Update!

T. Shepherd, the creator, has posted a long message on the latest Snow Sez strip (January 1, 2021)! She still with us, but is facing a long recovery. If you follow the strip, you can read and post your support; even if you don’t read, I ask that you please keep Ms. Shepherd in mind and send up some good vibes, positive energy, prayers, or what have you – also, if you haven’t ever seen it, check it out; it’s a lovely strip.

Wait…

What’s the difference between a leprechaun and a mail carrier?

OT—Angel

They really aren’t nice, no matter what cereal ads say.

I Love how Goldie is coming into her element and advising the rest of the BCN crew about outside things.

Sorry Goldie, that’s the vile raccoons in disguise you’ve been dealing with. Gent figured it out yesterday.

Those Irish clowns can’t be trusted.

Good questions, Puck.

We need someone to investigate under the big red couch!

I love the different little hats for each leprechaun.

MY NERD INSTINCTS ARE KICKING IN! That leprechaun has a keyboard with an IBM PS/2 cord!

I love how Goldie knows stuff because she’s been outside a long time. The reason for her knowledge is pretty relatable.
