Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 14, 2021

“Laundry” is one of Diesel’s favorite games. It involves a bag of clean laundry dumped all over my bed, ostensibly so I can sort it, but actually so Diesel can lie on top of it all and grab anything I try to remove.

People are so unpredictable

I love it that Goldie has the confidence to show a little attitude without worrying that she’ll be left out in the cold again.

Goldie does not get the difference between “pre” and “post” laundry.

Just a hope and a thought: Swan Eater Sundays maybe? Please?

“The lint brush.”

Hunt the truth and find the sock, Goldie!

I think Goldie is about to embark on a journalistic investigation concerning: “The Humans and Their Laundry. What is The Big Secret????”

I see Goldie has mastered the Elvis Glare.

“I guard all the surfaces in the house but when I try to check on the most important ones (those with food on) I’m constantly removed. I just don’t understand, weird hoomans”

A hamper with a lid is a helpful thing. Our big game is the ‘making the bed’ game. I try to unfold and tuck in the sheets and they grab the unfolding sheets and wrestle them into a big nest. Then I leave the room until they get bored and go somewhere else and then sneak back in and finish the bed. Sometimes it takes several tries to get two sheets, one blanket and one spread in place so the game can last all day.

So they is supposed to be cleaned laundry, eh. I dunnknows but we never folds em cleaned ones in the laundry bucket.

And I dunnknows if I has already told you about this, but if any of you is interested in ol’ classic comics from the 1940’s, then you should see BOZO, here on Go Comics itself. It’s a fully pantomime comic with no dialogues whatsoever.

I don’t have a laundry basket. The stuff goes from the dryer to the bed (unless there are things I hang up) to be folded.That’s where I find Blackjack. He could be on top or buried underneath it all. He loves hot laundry.

Oh! Hola!

People, you got to let me know

Should I stay or should I go?

If you say the laundry’s mine

I’ll sleep there ’till the end of time

So you got to let me know

Should I stay or should I go?

It’s always tease, tease, tease

Often OK, then it’s ‘get off, please’

One day it’s fine and next it’s not

To relax in this comfy spot

Well, come on and let me know

Should I stay or should I go?

Sometimes it’s ‘yes’, sometimes ‘no no!’

Should I stay or should I go now?

Sleuthing skills I’ll be applying

To find exactly what you’re hiding

So come on and let me know

Should I stay or should I go?

(Topper Headon, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Joe Strummer – Should I Stay or Should I Go?/The Clash)

Yup strange humans, launder out the owners scent, warm up the clothes , then try to say you can’t have them.

Dig deep, Goldie. Ask questions and demand answers!

Is there a pattern to this?

Dirty Laundry, yes? (No Don Henley Songs, please!)

Clean Laundry, no?

Can the cool cats at BCN get to the bottom of this?

and Where is Puck?

I need a Pie Chart, Stat!

I woke up to find all the cats sitting in the bedroom and our bed looking up at the ceiling. It turns out there was a tiny, little spider was out for a pre-dawn stroll. It was so reminiscent of the strip Georgia did last year about the bug on the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: Aaugh! Where could they be?

Beatrixia: What’s wrong, Elvis-Anum?

Elvis-Anum: I can’t find my Yuletide gift sandals?

Beatrixia: What do you mean?

Elvis-Anum: Every Yuletide I get a gift of a box of tea, the latest papyrus bestseller, and a new pair of sandals. I can’t find the sandals anywhere!

Beatrixia: Fortunately you don’t need them until the Royal Banquet next week. Maybe you should ask the Royal Procurer detective, Agnes-Ata.

Sometime Later

Agnes-Ata: Hi, Elvis-Anum. Bea tells me you are missing your sandals.

Elvis: I was looking for them, and they’ve gone missing!

Agnes-Ata: Where did you last see them?

Elvis-Anum: I wore them at the Feast of Renewal, and then left them in my room when I changed clothes.

Agnes-Ata: What did you do with your clothes you wearing.

Elvis-Anum: What I always do. Tossed them in my papyrus laundry basket.

Enter Burt-Ra

Burt-Ra: Anyone missing a pair of sandals?

Elvis-Anum: Where did you find them?

Burt-Ra: The laundry crew found them in your basket. For about the third time.

Elvis-Anum: Uh, yes. I remember now. I put them there for safekeeping.

Burt-Ra: You don’t have a sandal rack?

Elvis-Anum: Never needed one.

Burt-Ra: Now I know what to get you for Yuletide.

hey wanna hear about the BCN game? It’s got a couple of levels (and I got a test build working!!!). Anyways, if you want to help (sprite artist, musician) email me at lim95.yt@gmail.com or just comment on this post. If you do decide to help with art, please don’t export as a .gif file for animations, please export as a zip file with all the frames as PNG.

Yesterday I got some “limited edition” “Galactic” Lucky Charms and they taste like space

If anyone here is also a fan of Claire Luvcat’s “Kittisaurus” YouTube channel, she posted what might be one of the cutest cat videos ever yesterday. Titled “LuLu Nearly Starved to Death” (anyone who knows LuLu would know that means he hadn’t had nyam nyam in the last two minutes), it’s chock full of Claire’s wonderful editing and voice work for LuLu, MoMo, CoCo, DunDun, DoDo, LaLa, and even ChuChu!

Cat conspiracy theories!

Something to do with the folding?

Goldie, if you expect humans to make any sense, you will be very disappointed.

luv goldies lil finger! (I wonder who is telling her off? the man?)

I’d rather the cats not sleep in the dirty laundry. It’s DIRTY. You know there’s rags full of cat yark and ferret poops in there. (don’t judge me—“full” may be an exaggeration) And once it’s clean and folded you should put it away. The window for cat sleeping would be cleaned but not folded yet.

Coming up NEXT on CN … The “Clean Clothes COVER-UP” !! … :)

The clothes you can sleep on are dirty. The clothes you can’t sleep on are clean. The People don’t want you getting cat hair on their clean clothes.

Of course, clean laundry needs a re-fur-all from the cat.

There was an update about Tommy posted yesterday comments, but it was late in the day, so some might have missed it. Here is the link to the update on Instagram:

In case you can’t get to Instagram here is the update:

Tommy’s biopsy came back fine, he just got his stitches taken out yesterday, his few teeth left are doing great so all in all looks like our happy boy is on the mend! Now he’s really starting to show his age I think though, little squawky old man

Princess Peekaboo in “Rose is Rose” has a similar problem today.

It must be the folding. Special report – People’s Magic Cloth Origami! Does it make clothes warmer?

Does this “don’t sleep in the laundry” coincide with shedding seasons?

I put an empty laundry basket on top of the basket full of clean laundry if I can’t put it away immediately.

You think her nose could answer that question. Smells like wonderful man and woman: fine to sleep on. Smells like icky flowers: not fine to sleep on even though the warmth is oh so inviting.

I have learned that my carnivorous pets seem to enjoy my body odor while not really caring for flowers. I suspect that human like flowers because they remind us of the fruit that is to come. And meat eaters similarly like animal/human smells that remind them of meat.

I’m not hiding anything, just be sure not to dig too deep in my backyard.

OT but possibly life saving

It does give them mixed messages when sometimes you let them and sometimes you don’t. They don’t see the difference between dirty laundry and neatly folded.

This is why I don’t bother folding my clothes still in the basket. If I actually put them away, I’ll fold them then.

LucyLu has no interest in laundry, but the minute I open the dryer she lays on the warm door while I’m removing and folding.

Sounds like Goldie needs to get to the bottom of this laundry basket!

Fold them when removing from dryer. Put in basket. Take upstairs, put away, feel like something has finally been accomplished without the Supervisory Oversight. Dirty basket on floor of closet where no cats are allowed. They may know what they’re missing, or not.

Great undercover work Goldie, you find out what the Woman is hiding.

Make up your mind, People.

Note to never let a cat get into the dryer! Close that door immediately! You want no chance of pushing the start button with a cat in there.
