Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 26, 2021

“This looks like a job for…somebody else.”

“Your cat.” LOL

Years later, the elvis face shall be a meme

This Was Predicted….Elvis is a wildcat! Panel 3 Scares Me!! Panel 4 makes me LOL!

Elvis, I’ll like to introduce you to my rescue cat, Maggie. You two were made for each other!-—————————————No, I did not rescue Maggie from a mob of angry villagers with pitchforks and torches. I rescued them from Maggie.

Those are some impressive claws!

I’m under a high wind warning until 10:00 AM Friday. The lights have already gone out once but luckily came right back on. There have also been a few power surges. The tulip tree in my front yard is twice as tall as the power pole next to it. I hope it’s roots and trunk are strong enough to keep it standing.

That is a remarkable third panel!

And there’s NOTHING dignified about this hissy fit.

Just do the old show him some fresh fish trick and watch him come down himself.

Wow. Okay. That Angry Elvis Face is going to give me nightmares, I’m sure of it.

Should I call an exorcist?

Elvis hind paw pad! ::GROWL::

Man, you should have at least put on oven mitts before trying this.

I feel like there is a real life story behind this and I need to hear it.

That third panel is wonderful.

Stop being cutesy Woman. Come get scratched rescuing “your cat.”

If I hits the notification bar even just a wee below the text that says “Notification [bell]” by mistake, all the notifications get cleared. Who is the wise guy who designed it? I’ll bet they has never used it on a teeny tiny touchscreen device. I tries to taps on the Notification with me bear hands to tries and opens it, but boom, they all gets cleared before they even opens.

Angry Fussy Paws or Mommy’s Special Boy honey, take your pick! LOL

Ok buddy, well then you’re on your own

panel 3: Bucky come forth!

I was scolded by Yum Yum for over 10 minutes this morning because it’s pouring rain outside and she can’t do her morning patrol. You ain’t been scolded until you’ve been scolded by a Siamese who has had her desires thwarted!

Redbone: Come and Get Your Love

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

…….

Honey, Elvis is stuck up on the curtains

Honey, what’s the matter with your cat and sign?

Honey, Elvis wants you and no one else,

Baby get him, come on and get him

Honey, get him, Baby, then we’ll all be fine

And we’ll be fine, and we all will shine

…….

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Come and get your cat

Georgia has said that she knew the man was the right man for her when Elvis accepted him but that is still within limits.

That might be the most agitated cat face I’ve seen in this strip.

panel three is horrifying

Yes, Woman! Coy and snide are the very things called for in this situation. Well played, lass!

Big old growly Elvis

Climbed up but not down

Talking to the Man now

While still hanging around

Don’t you get too close, Man

Elvis kicks away

Angry hissin’ Elvis

Stuck in a sorry way

We can hear him say

Leave me alone

Won’t you leave me alone

Just leave me alone

Now leave me alone

Oh, leave me alone

Go leave me alone

You peeve me

Believe me

[Linda Laurie – Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)/Helen Reddy]

Reminds me of a story about a man on the telephone, getting angrier and angrier, finally slamming down the phone (this is a very old story), and turning to his wife, saying “That was your mother-in-law!”

Mommas’s Best Boy wants his momma NOW!!

First rule of picking up cats in situations like that is do not let them know you fear being bitten or clawed. They won’t respect you for it. They’re cats.

Looking back to the Leprechaun story-line, here’s another Leprechaun trap: https://www.element14.com/community/community/project14/cheerusup/blog/2021/03/20/the-leprechaun-trap

Elvis, that face and this adventure is sure to be a page in your baby book.

Tell her to bring a stepping stool too, because the whole reason Puck didn’t go to her in the first place was because she’s too short to reach, so without something to boost her height, she’s going to need the Man to get involved regardless.

Hey, with both front paws up, I’m pretty sure he isn’t hanging on the curtain anymore anyway. Problem Solved.

Then again, no “toe beans” so I guess he just turned his head 180°!

And, Elvis – no, the man would not look good with stripes. They may be slimming, but on his face from your paws is not going to win you any friends.

My what big fangs you have, Elvis!

I took one of my cats into a redwoods park where no dogs were allowed. For thirty minutes, she had the time of her life. She got overstimulated and ran up a redwood tree that probably would have been named after a general. For thirty minutes, I tried everything to persuade her to come down. I finally left her long enough to get a rope and backpack from my car, I was able to climb the knotted rope 30 feet to where she was. She let me stuff her in the backpack and I climbed down. Half an hour later, we were home and she was fine. I was sore for a week. :)

Man needs to have a pair of cat-handling gloves for these situations. And getting them into carriers, etc. A nice pair of welding gauntlets works well for me.

That is a very convincing “scary face”

In my experience with cats (had them for going on to 40 years) grabbing them by the scruff of the neck, and providing support from below, they tend to go limp and will allow you to transport them to a safer location. Unless you have a PITA cat like Elvis.

Siamese cats tend to be a one person cat. My first girlfriend had a Siamese cat that would have nothing to do with me until he realized that I was allergic to cats. Little did he know that I develop an immunity to each cat over time. I don’t know if he ever caught on.

What lovingly detailed teeth.

Just gotta love Lupin’s expression while reporting this—he evidently doesn’t know what to make of it, though it’s El Biff, which means he should be snarky…

Gotta love the man’s restraint. Notice he didn’t say “Your damn cat”!

Local cat having a hissy fit while stuck in curtains. How undignified.

The Man is using his Elvis voice in panel four when replying to the woman tee hee hee!

Panel 3 – the gaping maw of teeth… cats can be really scary.

OT: Espresso (now called Meep, and you should look anyway):

Devil cat

Elvis asked nicely for the Woman and Pucky didn’t understand! So now THIS!

Random thoughts, so may or may not be OT:

Be glaad the man isn’t me, Elvis. You WOULD be coming down without the woman getting you down. And without the curtain being pulled down.

The look on Elvis’ face is priceless.

For the love of Cat, I can’t imagine either “the Woman” nor Georgia going “Tee-hee” in any situation.

Just heard that beloved author, Beverly Cleary, has passed away at 104 yrs old. Absolutely adored reading about Beezus and Ramona, Henry, Ribsey, et al. Thank you , Beverly, you made reading and childhood fun!!!

The Woman has heard this before (&most likely will again) 1st time Jan 25, 2018. The Intruder’s visit which includes the infamous pirate ballerina baby pictures..Sorry, I don’t know how to copy and paste links from a tablet.

Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the Cat of War!"
