Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 28, 2021

GASP!! He had just used the litterbox?! That says everything! ;p Awwww, look at Pucky’s cute little blush! ❤❤❤

Uh oh. If last week’s kibble mix-up has been succeeded by a litter mix-up, the house really will be torn apart!

Ah yes, the old litter box victory lap. I’ve had two cats who did that. Also, it sounds like somebody may have gotten into the regular cat-coffee.

The ceiling is a floor, if you believe!

My dogs had the zoomies before the poop, not after. I guess dogs and cats are different.

A haunted litterbox, maybe?

Check all closets. And, in the case of a missing cat in our house, we check the kitchen drawers. Blackjack opens them and either sleeps with the pots and pans or kicks all of the clean dishtowels onto the floor, the gets in the back, jumps down behind the next two drawers and comes out from the bottom one where we keep the tin foil, boxes of plastic baggies, etc. He used to be sneaky and do it at night. Now he does it right in front of me!

Did he sneak some Coffee in?

My friend told me that cats often get the zoomies after using the litter box. I’ve never made a habit out of watching them do their business, so I honestly wouldn’t know. I’m not surprised either way. Little weirdos. :P

Some humans like to celebrate their success after using the toilet, but usually not with zoomies.

I pooped, I pooped. Yea!

Admit it, Puck.

Puck prefers the news paper and privacy……Although none can match Elvis for dignity!

Loaner Cat mrowls in triumph, but no zoomies. Not for that. Once in a great while, she’ll get going, but we have wood floors throughout the first floor so she looks more like a cartoon trying to get traction. And OH Puck! That little blush is absolutely adorable!

well, someone’s blushing…

Me thinks poor was Lupin was hungry after emptying his bowels and was wanting to hunt some food. Why don’t cha leaves some food around, fiendish hyoomans?

Celebrate? I always thought it was a euw I’m outa here , zoooom.

Get that gal a Deerstalker cap, Inverness cape and a Calabash pipe.

And my Good “Dr. Watson” needs a good Coachmen’s bowler hat, he’s got the dress shirt and tie, only needs the Military style Jacket.

Funny how the process of using the water closet goes from a major success when you are three, to inconvenience at 30, back to major success at 70+?

Pucky Mason and The Case of the Horked Shoes

Bailiff: Do you swear as an Honourable Rodent to tell only the truth?

Violet: I do.

Bailiff:Please state your name.

Violet: Violet Robber Mouse.

Bailiff: What is your occupation?

Violet: I am a member of the Procurer’s Guild, an ancient and accepted order of mice dedicated to the acquisition of anything we want. I met my friends at university, where we were studying Cheesetaking. We formed the Robber Mice Company after gradation.

Hamlupin Burger: Ms Violet, will you tell us in your own words the events of the day in question?

Violet: Certainly. My friends and I were on assignment and decided to take a shortcut through the Humans’ bedroom. There we saw Elvis. It appeared that something was making him grumpy.

Burger: And how did this differ from his usual appearance?

Violet: Not a whole lot, but he had obviously puffed recently.

Burger: And did you see him go into the bedroom.

Violet: Yes.

Burger: Your witness.

Pucky: Now how long were you in the area when you saw Elvis?

Violet: Not more than a few seconds.

Pucky: And did you see him go into the closet?

Violet: No. We were carrying out our assignment.

Pucky: In your line of work your assignments usually involve transporting something. Is that correct?

Violet: Yes.

Pucky: And what were you transporting for this assignment?

Robber Mice in Unison: We’ll never tell!

Pucky: No further questions.

Pucky: Goldie, I want you to check on something for me.

Oh my, Puck’s face in the third panel is priceless!!

♪♪ Celebrate good times, come on!

It’s a celebration

Celebrate good times, come on!

Let’s celebrate

We’re gonna have a good time tonight

Let’s celebrate, it’s all right

We’re gonna have a good time tonight

Let’s celebrate, it’s all right♫

Maybe the generic cat food was laced with “zoomie flakes”?

Dancin on the ceiling!

We have hardwood floors. The zoomies or in my house we call them the “rips”. They start with the cats doing a “scoby do” running in place without traction. Once they get momentum watch out!

Okay, I’d like to step aside from my whole Puck-cosplay-thing to say that, while I’ve said this before, the BCN community is my favorite by far. Nobody is toxic, and we help each other when we need to. If someone says they are having a bad day, everyone steps in to comfort them, and that is beautiful. I came into this community a long time ago, when there were very few followers, and it has grown in every way I hoped it would. Thank you all for contributing to this place that has become my internet happy place.

It’s possible they forgot to give him decaf.

OT: The life cycle of a pet owner:

Day 1: “We shouldn’t ever feed him human food. Mickey needs to understand that our food is not his food.”

Day 50: “I’m not going to finish this, let Mickey have it.”

This made me laugh out loud during a meeting.

Run across the ceiling? Is that even possible?

Woohoo! Farmers market open Saturday!!! – Its gonna be great :)

OT: Moved into our new home Saturday evening. The cats immediately went into hiding. While it took Pookie Poo a day to start exploring, Mr. Tommy stays under the bed. To make matters worse, our cousin flew in late Monday night to learn to drive the motorhome. (Neither of them do well with other people.) The last time Mr. Tommy ate anything more than a bite was Saturday morning. I hope his hunger finally brings him around.

They start caterwauling around 3:30 in the morning, so my husband and I, on top of all we have to do to unpack and buy what we need, are exhausted.

I could use some good thoughts to help us all through this adjustment period. Thank you!

P.S. Only got the internet yesterday afternoon, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Yeah, that sounds like Lupin all right…

Pucky fangs.

Has no one looked in the bathroom sink yet? Are the People still in bed?

My Chirper goes tearing around the house after using the box. I theorize it’s to get away from the smell because she apparently never learned how to bury. Phew!

So all you have to do is follow the claw holes in the walls.

Running around the house is a great way to celebrate that great feeling after a good poop!

Who all has been saying to check the ceiling fan? Beginning to look like you may be right.

OT: Feral Kitties

“I’m not the cat they think at home,

Oh no, no, nooooooo …

I’m a rocket caaaat!"

Poor Pucky gets embarrassed with toilet talk.

The look on Puck’s face says it all.

Aw, blushing Pucky.

My Mr. Tibbles used to celebrate. But he’s a little too creaky these days. Watching him dash through the house always made me laugh so hard.

Hooray! I just saw this Facebook post from Georgia! “Why hello, it is me, new National Cartoonists Society member Georgia Dunn!!! I’m so delighted to join the NCS, thank you so much to Dana Simpson of Phoebe and Her Unicorn and Teresa Logan of Laughing Redhead Comics for recommending me and thank you to everyone who has been so rad and encouraging through this process! I’m so happy to be a part of the The National Cartoonists Society, it’s a dream come true since I was a kid. I look forward to a time in the future when it’s safe to gather and I can attend some local chapter meetings and events and start meeting other members in person!”

Lupin pursues his dream aggressively.

Pucky is so very private!
