Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 20, 2021

OT: I’m so excited!!!

I got a nutritional supplement from the vet once that said “Highly Palatable!” like that was a real selling point. This must have been from the same company.

What an endorsement!

You better not have lost the receipt for that stuff, Man. Or have taken off your shoes.

So how exactly did they get the opinions of those cats?

Yanno, this suggests that 1 out of 10 cats believe it’s not even food. XD

Yeah, it’s food — but as a friend says – “It’ll make a turd”

Man, don’t open the bag or you can’t return it. Don’t mess with the cats’ diet!

Elvis:- No compromises!

Elvis is about to blow a gasket. The endorsements on the bag of Kebble remind me of those old dental commercials. Like “9 out of 10 dentists recommend brushing your teeth” or if you ever view any of those old school tobacco 1950s ads on the web that say 9 out of 10 doctors prefer Chesterfields (or Camel/Lucky Strike etc). Of course the tobacco company just had to round up 10 doctors, 9 of which chain smoked Chesterfields to make this a factual statement so that it was not false advertising….

Anyhow, the Man needs to really sleep with one eye open until he goes back to the supermarket and gets a bag of Kibble!

How, how, how can Man think this is good enough?

This is just like the time Norm got the “Surf and Turf” at the Hungry Heifer…

Bef and Loobster.

Man…HOW long have you cohabited with cats again?!

“The flavour cats accept”??? In the words of Seven of Nine, “UNACCEPTABLE!” and “It is OFFENSIVE!”

Ladies and gentlemen, it led us to a cat-astrophe.

Elvis is supposed to get his special senior food, so this Kebble is going to have a very strong taste of betrayal.♥

With a frisson of revenge.

Childhood memory: my dad was something of a practical jokester, and one day he taught us impressionable kids that the definition of “mediocre” was “amazing, wonderful, fantastic” etc. So, every dinner ended with us saying “Thanks mom, dinner was mediocre!” “You can make a really mediocre spaghetti!” “Mom, that was the most mediocre meal I’ve ever had.” Yeah, mom wasn’t impressed; it took a couple of years before the real definition sunk in.

Oh, Man. You are in so much trouble right now. (And you apparently don’t even realize it!)

But Elvis is one in a million

If Kebble is Kibble then a stubble is a bubble. All in all, this means trouble.

Loaner Cat is so picky, she turns her nose up at her favorite treats half the time. I can’t imagine how much trouble Man is bringing the totally wrong food home!

On another note: Is that a new pic on the left over the comic title? I LOVE Puck’s tiny little eyebrows!

Out cats usually narf down the new food the first day, then turn their nose up at it the next day, and if we get their old food, they give us “The Look”

I begin to suspect The Man is up to chicanery, and has repackaged the normal food in cheap costuming.

Wow, those are some ringing feline endorsements, Man. You’re basing your defense on those?

Still no comments from a stunned Burt. Soon the Ceiling Cats will be banging their food bowls on the floor in support.

It’s like in the anime shows, where they show a very realistic TV only its “Sory” not “Sony” or “Samsame” instead of “Samsung”.

Close but no Cigar.

Elvis, he fired this shot over your bow. Time to find a pawing solution. No need to mention you kept him awake, which may have led to poor decision making on his part.

That’s for the Disarmament party and Detente after the reckoning

“9 out of 10 cats think it’s food.”

Just not their food.

OT:

Black is black

I want my kibble back

It’s gray, it’s gray

Just junk “food” today, Ooh-Ooh

Man, what’d you do?

‘Cause I-I-I-I-I’m feelin’ blue

If I had my way

He’d toss it today

But he don’t intend

Cannot comprehend, Ooh-Ooh

What can I do?

‘Cause I-I-I-I-I’m screamin’ blue

Oh, such abuse

With such meh reviews

It’s gotta be gone

Wow! Maybe if she

Would shop for me

Woman won’t go wrong

Bad, it’s bad

That I feel so mad

It’s time, it’s time

To give him a boop or nine, Ooh-Ooh

What can I do

‘Cause I-I-I-I-I’m feelin’ blue

‘Cause I-I-I-I-I’m losin’ my cool

Goldie, please, give Man a clue

(Anthony Hayes / Michelle Grainger / Steve Wadey – Black is Black/Los Bravos)

Iko the dog will vacuum up whatever food there is, including things not generally considered to be sustenance (Iko is the very definition of the opportunistic eater).

Giblet, Belle, Mittens and Holly are creatures of habit and taste. Giblet is on special diabetic cat food that Belle likes, but Mittens and Holly ignore. Mittens is on sensitive stomach food that Holly likes but the other two turn up their noses when offered. So we have two separate areas where the we feed the cats. And may God have mercy on your soul if you miss mealtime.

Go with the spaghetti O’s

I strongly doubt that 9 out of 10 cats would consider it food. Was the test group actually composed of 9 small, pointy-eared dogs and one actual cat?

This feels very much it started in RL

Mianwheli, Back on the Neli

Quiin Catshipsut thi Goldin: My fellow felines, today is an I for an E day. I’s and E’s will exchange places in words.

Elvis-Anum: How am I supposed to write if all my pens are pins?

Maat-Tilda: I have the opposite problem. You can borrow one from my pencushion.

Lupinium: I guess I can do tumbling and treks instead of tricks.

Puckmosis: Captaen Kerk would be so proud!

The Quiin: Well, anyway it’s just for one day. Let us adjourn to the deneng room before all the letters change places.

Thomios: Well, today I wanted to make my famous kibble pie, but today it’s all kebble.

Bearixia: Oh, that stuff? Well, it’s food, anyway.

Thomios: Not to worry ham and bacon have no I’s or E’s.

Lupinium: What are we waiting for? Lit’s iat!

Are your cats gaining too much weight? Try our swill!

I’m guessing that the man will get NO sleep tonight, Elvis will ensure that.

We have 5 cats in our house and all I can say in regards to this is “No!!!” A detailed explanation of how to introduce a new type or brand of kibble might take too long, so for this forum, just say “No.”

i always read alot of these fast

Eat, Pray, RUN!!

Why, this is worse than when The Woman bought the fancy stuff made with quinoa, which is French for traffic cone!

I am reminded of “The Hungry Heifer” restaurant on Cheers that served “beff” and “loobster”.

I mean, we all have our preferred brand of food and how we hate having to settle for something else than this, so…don’t pretend you can’t still relate here.

Panel 3: It looks like the Man is endorsing the ‘product’, and mugging for the camera … Just like one of those cheesy ’70’s commercial:

“But, Dear! – What’s Kebble made of?!”

“Ancient FELINE Secret !!”

Then, the Woman looks straight at the camera and says: "My husband. Some Hot-Shot!! … Here’s his ‘Ancient FELINE Secret’! … KEBBLE !! Which is made TOTALLY out of … "

Commercial abruptly ends … but I’ll let your minds finish her sentence! … :)

“9 out of 10 cats agree: It’s food.” …

And – Pray tell – Just HOW does one survey or question a CAT ??!! … (I know my answer.) … :)

ugh off brand cat food is the worst…

i’ve a few cats like elvis … others would devour anything

“Here at Kebble Inc, we pride ourselves on managing expectations.”

The Man is going to pay big time for his brainless enthusiasm for “Kebble!

So maybe the reason that he bought kebble is that he was too lazy!

Having this problem currently with my dog Chinquapin…suddenly NO brand of food meets her picky needs…Including the $130 worth of Frozen FANCY dog food that is supposed to make her life much better…darnit.

If they agree it’s food, that’s half the battle.

It could have been worse. It could have been – heaven forbid – DOG food.

Trouble ahead.

“9 out of 10 cats agree it’s food.”

Of course, those 9 cats are feral cats who are used to eating roadkill, so their definition of “food” is pretty broad. The 10th cat lives in a house with humans who feed them real food.

Grounds for divorce.

I know that I’m like what Elvis is doing sometimes, if we don’t have this ONE type of cheese, or a certain brand of bread, however unlike Elvis, i won’t throw a fit (usually) I simply ignore it until either someone else eats it or throws it away.

For all our “cat lovers”

The truth if I’ve ever seen it!

I ran out of dry kibble this morning. Now my cats are barn cats and NOT at all picky. However all I had was a can of human grade tuna. They were understandably thrilled. I went out to do some gardening and found a mouse sacrifice laid in front of my Subaru….I think they have made the connection between the food and where it comes from and are trying to appease the tuna bringer.

My husband goes out an buys my cat food. Rather than buying what he has been eating for years, he thinks it’s time to try something new. Then I go out the next day and buy what he will eat.

Do they ask for it by name?

Doom and destruction! DOOM, DESTRUCTION AND DESPAIR!!!!

Uh, NO!!!!!!!! It’s not “pretty much all the same.” If it were Smokey and the boys would eat anything without burning out quickly.

Blasphemy! The stuff you find in restaurant dumpsters is technically food, too.

Elvis must have his kibble.

Oh, my Cat! Elvis’s claws are out!

BAD, Man!! Baaaaad!

And the Man has lived with cats how long?!? Even my dogs are too picky to eat that crap! … Well if they were really hungry, but only then.
