Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 26, 2021

Quick! Call the FBI (Feline Bureau of Investigation) and file a missing-Lupin report! (And possibly a complaint about the inappropriate zoomies behavior.)

I hope he isn’t stuck.

Or nekkid.

White cat, white walls, how can you tell he’s missing?

Is Goldie on the case? We’re any of the others participating in the zoomies? Enquiring cats want to know!

…I have a day off today, spent the weekend trying to get it confirmed that such was, indeed, the case and that someone was going to cover my shift, and feel personally attacked right now.

Where’s LOOOOPIN? Has he gone invisible again? Have you checked the bath tub, the sink, any white fuzzy throw pillows or accent rugs? The loose window in the laundry room?

He’ll have to answer to HR!

I think he is sound asleep under the laundry.

Check the bathroom sink, but not on camera, because he made doing his naked invisible Lupin trick.

He might be asleep and hidden, oblivious to the calls of his co-workers since he’s deaf.

I have the feeling that he is hiding in plain sight having removed his clothing!

When I had a supervisory role at an academic library I used the “annoyed shuffle” to great effect.

Looking for Lupin in the Laundry room? Is he on a trip to the unknown upstairs? Tumbling with Tommy on the terrace?

Lupin is on a bender

Has anyone checked the ceiling? Try turning on the fan and see if Lupin comes spinning back down!

Repentance for another lost weekend.

“Annoyed shuffle” I love it! :D

Puck seems worried and Elvis is annoyed, LOL on “annoyed shuffle”. I am going to guess that this might be a job for Goldie. So where do they look first? My guess is the laundry room.

Noise for two, much to do

And oh, but his four feet can move

Has anybody seen Lupin?

Cute pink nose, business clothes

Never texts, never phones

Has anybody seen Lupin?

Now if you run into a

News anchor, covered in fur

Gleeful grins while into things

Betcha’ life it could be him

After zoomies, hat askew

Could he, would he, come into view?

Has anybody seen Lupin?

(Ray Henderson / Sam M. Lewis / Joe Young – Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue)

My guess is he’s tired himself out, he’s gone invisible, and now he’s somewhere happily situated sleeping off his zoomies attack. :) However, I have to agree with Elvis. Not calling in… one could get written up for that sort of thing, tsk tsk!

Elvis in particular is being pretty blasé about Lupin’s disappearance, considering the time he himself went missing.

Zoomies all night, snoozies all day!!!

Pucky Mason and the Case of the Horked Shoes

Pucky Mason: Looks like this case will be tried by the District Attorney, Hamlupin Burger.

Elvis: Does that mean we’re doomed?

Pucky Mason: Not necessarily. And Judge Baba Mouse is strict but fair.

Hamlupin Burger: I call Burt to the stand.

Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you Cat?

Burt: I do.

Burger: On the night in question, did Elvis’ Woman come to your farm?

Burt: She did.

Burger: And did she have anything with her?

Burt: Yes. She had a bag of Kebble with her.

Burger: And how does Kebble differ from Kibble.

Burt: Well, they’re both wholesome and nutritious, but Kebble does not have the flavor Kibble does.

Burger: So a cat used to tasty Kibble would not take kindly to having to switch to Kebble.

Burt: Very likely not.

Burger: Your witness, Mr. Mason.

Pucky Mason: Burt, did you notice if the bag of Kebble was opened?

Burt: It was not opened.

Pucky: So Elvis could not have eaten any Kebble.

Burt: Not from that bag, no.

Pucky: No further questions.

Burger: Just one more in redirect. Burt, was Elvis known for barfing even when he hadn’t eaten a meal?

Burt: Yes.

Burger: No further questions.

(Continued)

Who runs HR at the station?

Uh-oh – look’s like somecat is going to be written up.

Thats some harsh language there Pucky

Behind you! No, over there! Nah, too obvious! Under the desk?

I hope he didn’t get out.

Elvis? Sometimes you can be a real jerk, you know that? I’m not sure where Lupin is, but he just might be in trouble. Not calling in might be the least of his problems.

the annoyed shuffle of papers definitely expresses Elvis personality.

Usually when this happens, there is a previously unknown slit in the fabric under the sofa. The cat is IN the sofa.

…are the “all night zoomies” different from “The 2:00 am Running of the Cats”??…

I am Lupin Cat, and I’m okay.

I zoom all night, and I sleep all day.

He is Lupin Cat, and he’s okay.

He zooms all night, and he sleeps all day.

I knock down lamps; I read the news; I go to the litter box.

On Mondays I go hiding; and have Kibble with my tea.

He knocks down lamps; he reads the news; he goes to the litter box.

On Mondays he goes hiding; and has Kibble with his tea.

(The Lumberjack Song – Monty Python)

Two of our cats had Zoomies for the entire weekend. I threw them out into the catio this morning with their breakfast. And they are on the cat tree or one of the shelves busy sleeping.

He tried to call in, honest. The power must’ve been out. Just in his immediate area.

He probably stripped at some point and then zonked from exhaustion in some especially white corner of the home, where you’re not going to notice him until you’re tripping over him.

Maybe he doing his night shift, eh. Someone has gots to be around at the night for a 24×7 cat news channel!

But… But… Lupin the white knight has to fight the forces of darkness in the dead of the night!

OT: My birthday

A mystery. Where’s Goldie?

Maybe Goldie is investigating what happened to the Man for bringing in the wrong Kibble and then joking about it.

I suspect Lupin is sleeping it off someplace…

Another Heavy Furry Rumble of Thanks to all who were concerned at my absence! Reading the comments to kangtourcat’s post really brightened my day.

Yet if Elvis fails to call in there’d be no violation, at least acording to Elvis.

Off-Topic bit of random happiness:

The rose-breasted grosbeaks are visiting my feeders for a little while. They pass through on migration, but usually only stick around for a day or so – I’m glad I spotted them today; there’s no telling how long they’ll be here this time. I haven’t managed to get a photo yet (dead battery in the camera), but here’s a link:

Has anyone checked the white background?

Pucky is rather perplexed in panel 3.

After all there are only so many places he could be.

Oh no! Lupin must be found.

I think Lupin is sleeping under the unconscious Man.

He seems to enjoy lurking invisibly in the bathroom sink. Have they checked there?

And Jason strikes again… LOL!!!
