Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 22, 2021

What, indeed, Elvis?

Pucky tries so hard to put a good spin on an unspinnable situation.

Considering Elbiff and the other cats reaction. I’m surprised the Man hasn’t been sent scurrying back to the store to fix his grevious purchasing error.

Puck, ever the optimist ….til he’s not!

Oh no, what has the crew done to deserve this…this…Kebble?!? We have 3 good boys and 1 good girl who deserve good food! This is an outrage!!!

Do they have to spread this kebble all over the floor to make their position clear? We want kibble!

I think this is actually mispackaged gardening product. Pre-compost, if you will.

Maybe the man can just put it in the trunk of his car and save it for traction on icy roads…

Why is it so GREY?!

Rhymes with . . . Terrible?

I hope they are fruity pebbles. Cats shouldn’t eat chocolate.

Who will be the bravest feline of them all? And can they smuggle Tommy in to try it for them?

I love Goldie’s “The things I ate while I was outside…And I will NOT willingly eat this!” expression.

I love Elvis’s hunched-over glare. I have seen that posture and expression on other cats, including The Mistress Of The Blue Horizons.

This is making me soooo nervous. I must change my cats’ food in a few days and try mixing it with some of the old food and HOPE they’ll tolerate it.

I went over yesterday’s comments where a poster suggested that the reason Sue Ellen has been missing on the site is because of one of my past comments. Please, Sue Ellen, if I offended you, I am so sorry. I would never intentionally do that. I’ve always enjoyed your comments and want to continue to read them. The comment in question mentioned nagging. It was not said to be mean, it was said in a sisterly way. Something I would say to a good friend that would tell me hurry up before we were going somewhere and I was trying to choose what to wear. So, Sue Ellen, I repeat I’m sorry. You did make me realize the the implications of words no matter how innocent one might think they are.

Puck’s little tongue and his worried eyebrows. “I haven’t tasted it yet, but I still fear I may throw up.”

Either this will be just as terriblehorrible as everyone (except The Man) expects, or they’ll love it. Elvis would be so mad if he loved it.

Poor cats. Mandated to eats dry processed foods. Feed em real food, you fiendish hyoomans!

Loaner Cat will be 16 in a couple months. I had to change her over to a food made to support urinary tract health. At first, I mixed it and she ate around it. Then I gave her just that food and she ignored it. For almost 4 days she ignored it. Which worried me because then you’re getting into liver problems territory. But I faithfully changed to fresh though same every morning and I think she just finally got hungry enough, she tried it. Now I have to regulate her so she doesn’t over eat it! And it really has worked wonders for her. You’d think she was 2 again. But if they don’t like something, they hate it! And I have a feeling Man is going to pay for this one.

THERE WILL BE HORKAGE!

It looks like Puck was thinking of a different rhyme. I wonder what it was?

Maybe some ham would help? Or bacon?

Aww puck is trying so hard

The Who’s Tommy: We’re Not Gonna Take It!

Man: Well, it’s supper time.

I guess you all know why we’re here,

It’s time for Kibble

Except it’s Kebble, that’s clear.

If you want to have your dinner now

You’ve got to eat this stuff,

So go to the kitchen,

Select a cat dish,

You know where to find your meal.

…….

Hey, Elvis, you look so grumpy,

Is something wrong?

Puck, you’re usually so cheerful,

Where is your song?

Lupin, you look so sad right now,

Goldie, why do you show your fangs?

This is a time to be happy, it’s time to eat,

Enjoy it with a bang!

(continued)

Isn’t this animal cruelty?!!!

I’m late today because I’ve been hooked on the saga of Kiwi and her kittens at ‘TinyKittens’. Is anyone else keeping an eye on her? I can’t remember who mentioned the page here.

A question for the ages Elvis…What is this all for?

And if you have lost Pucky, you have lost the war.

Upchuck “food”

You are giving us an upchuck mood

I bet we’ve never had a “food” so dry

It’s the worst “food” Man could ever buy

We’re gonna die over marked down “food”

We’ve been living in our well-fed world

As long as any cats with good ’rents can

And now it’s Kebble from our letdown Man

They’re such a sham

And when cats know what

They want for meal ti-i-ime

Then Man must wake up

And buy them that ki-i-ind

He’ll see it’s not so tough

Just because

Good cats don’t deserve upchuck food

No upchuck food!

(Billy Joel – Uptown Girl)

Tiny feline clenched paws of rage!

The poor petrified shoes of the hyooman. Woe is they.

Goldie’s Face!!!

Man just break out the ham and bacon and end this foolery already

Life always offers choices. Today’s choice: Take it or leave it! :-D

Pucky tongue!!!! And Elvis shaking his little fists is so adorable!!

I was going to complain that this story is playing to the “clueless male” cliche, but then I remembered the dishwasher incident. Everybody gets their turn.

Happy Earth Day to all. Do the 3r’s for Earth. Man, you ruined this event.

Aw the look on poor Pucky’s face! I just wanna scoop him up and tell him it’ll all be okay. #kisskiss

Well, I guess the Man did not switch labels on the bag. It was no Trojan Horse, or Kibble in Sheep’s clothing.

Just a BAD, BAD, Move!

I could forgive him if he ate like that, without a care as to what he consumed .

The French used to say that Americans did not eat, they “refueled”.

But if he loves to eat, and eat well, why would he punish his family like this?

Oh, dear. If Mikey, um, I mean Pucky, won’t eat it then no one will. Lupin and Goldie seem concerned about the outcome.

It also rhymes with treble . . . so maybe pitch it high?

:-(( unhappy kitties

O/T: Happy Earth Day!

“It’s an earth song,

A body song,

A spring song,

I have been waiting long for this spring song."

–Langston Hughes

Rock on!

The Man better give up all thoughts of sleeping in the bed for the next few nights or continuous eye boops will ensue.

Has kibble ever been glared at as much as Elvis is glaring at that kibble – if it even is kibble?

It looks grey and lifeless.

Yikes, it even looks awful—whatever company that makes this stuff isn’t even trying to hide it. They must know it’s pointless to even try.

OT: Mickey and The Nana have learned to tolerate each other, but he won’t be sad when she leaves. The Nana’s saving grace is that she is a singular cook, so he does like the stuff he’s occasionally been able to sneak off the table.

Mickey may get to meet The Gigi (and/or The Pop) over the summer. I have a consultation on Monday morning to see about having my knee replaced and my mother indicated she might come down briefly to help out when that time comes. I sense that will be a much better visitor situation for Mickey.

I wonder why the Man didn’t just return it after the Woman’s reaction? Obviously he opened it instead, compounding his mistake.

Yes, preach it, Elvis! All good boys (and girls) deserve much better!

Looks like it contains a high ash content, for low elimination waste volume.

I’m sure you’ve seen those pet foods that are designed to reduce the waste from your pet. Never trust anybody who buys that for their pets.

My family pets are members of my family. First and foremost, any meal must be pleasant I want my friends to enjoy their time with me.

Thanks for the kebble Man. Now I’m going to quietly throw up in the People’s shoes.

I sense a marketing opportunity …

“Did you step on you cat’s tail? Scritch him the wrong spot? Did you make him wear a silly sweater?! Then come to Captain Jack’s Harbor of Happy Hams! We have everything you need to apologize to mommy’s-special-kitty! Try our Brilliant Bucket of Bacon! the Tantalizing Tureen of Tuna! our famous Handbasket of Happy Hams! We also offer the Tugboat Special, for that inevitable moment when YOU BRING HOME THE WRONG KIBBLE — The Tugboat includes Bucket, Tureen and Basket, and it arrives in a boat-shaped-kitty-bed! ACT NOW and you may be able to avoid the dreaded Revenge Horkage!!”

Every good boy deserves food. Musical cats?

poor kitties. pucky is trying so hard to be optimistic! And Elvis’s fist shaking is so cute. But seriously, Man, that is not good food for the fur babies. there will be face boops tonight!

That stuff hasn’t been thrown in the trash yet???

Ok, I believe I have some introducing to do. As of yesterday I am new to the Orb. I read BCN before I was introduced to GoComics, and I was so delighted to find it here! I read a few of the comments and I can already tell I’m among friends. You guys are the kindest I’ve seen on any stip so far. Happy to be here and looking forward to many new BCN adventures!!

ITS GRAY!!! (oh the horror…)

That kebble looks like plated cheap kitty litter!

Just like they were taught back at the Catservatory of Mewsic, “Every Good Boy Deserves Food”.

My two are very finicky. They would starve before they ate that gray stuff.OT: Big Gray had a visit to the dreaded vet this morning. Don’t have blood test results yet. Bigger issue he is scheduled for teeth cleaning (Pyorrhea) and back molar removal (nerve exposed) in July (yes they are that booked up). Now I know why he hasn’t been eating dry food. Poor thing couldn’t chew without being in pain.

I’m certain The Man is gonna wind up with a shoe full of puked up Kebble.

Ash? Smashed concrete blocks? Not so sure that’s pebble

Off the topic.

Get rid of that monstrosity!

Looks more like kitty litter than kitty food.

As someone said, “Meat that is new is never light blue.” And I’ll add, “Food that is grey should be thrown away.”

Even ever-optimistic Pucky can’t manage to see the kebble in a positive light. In any light, it doesn’t look like food for good boys.

Well, yeah… actually
