Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 01, 2021

Ah, no wonder Elvis has been so grouchy “today”. Breakfast is LATE! The outrage! The nerve! And Elvis too busy covering Lupin’s shift to fulfill his Siamese Alarm Clock role.

The wreckage has been left behind but there is still no sign of the reckless, nekkid Lupin!

The People didn’t hear anything with all that crashing around??

Elvis’ selfless ideas will certainly help move the case forward.

Elvis has a good point. If breakfast doesn’t bring Lupin back, then things are more serious than we’d suspected.

Lupin is still invisible????

Poor Elvis! After a night of constantly interrupted sleep, he rises to a morning of Lupin not bothering to show up for work or to even call in, followed by the help neglecting their own, vitally important job of getting the cats’ breakfast!

Are we sure that this isn’t still Monday? Or some kind of perverted April 1st joke? (He’s probably tempted to say that this day can’t get any worse . . . but I’m sure Elvis is smarted and wiser than that.)

I think this is a subtle hint from Elvis to the Man and Woman to set the Kibble out in a timely fashion.

HINT HINT. Listen to Elvis, People!

I like the Man’s fuzzy blue bathrobe. You can see the pocket in it in panel 4. Also his green plaid pajama bottoms.

Elvis, setting HIS priorities straight.

They really should check in all the white areas of the home. Natasha and Alice said he was streaking, so if he’s taken off his duds, he’ll be invisible in white surroundings.♥

This is getting serious. Call 911.

As I turned my BCN calendar to May, I’m reminded that Tuesday is the 4th. Could Lupin be in a “galaxy, far, far, away”?

Hubby sings when he puts out the gooshyfood twice a day. There’s always kibble out. The cats do come trotting when he starts singing the same songs.

Get out the frying pan and the bacon, People!

Why do Americans use "either’ when they mean “neither”?

Of course. Breakfast is the most important thing in the morning.

Well, he must not be in the bathroom sink unless the People do not make the bathroom the first stop of the day and surely they must wash their hands after doing so. And where are the children?

It’s not Lupin-class but my cats have a new entry in the “My Cats Can Do (Insert Horrible Thing)” category. On the living room wall I have a black metal cone lamp. It turns on with a flat, knurled knob attached to the base. I bought it because it seemed catproof. This morning nothing was in disarray, the lamp was not askew, but it was on. Someone without an opposable thumb turned the knob in the night.

Listen carefully for “M’aider! M’aider! M’aider!”, possibly from the laundry chute.

When a cat like Lupin owns you, you have to develop an internal filter to all but the loudest noises.

Breakfast is a commendable, even reasonable, way to start to the investigation.

Feed Elvis and Puck and Goldie, then go looking for Lupin and DON’T FORGET TO LOOK IN THE BATHROOM SINK, ALREADY!!!!!!

Today is Saturday! That means we have to wait until Monday to begin the search for Lupin!

Should that be “The People are FINALLY waking up …”?

Elvis – tap your watch and lash your tail around some more.

Elvis does have a good point, though—a good tactic to lure any act out of hiding is to offer it food.

Oh, I see his mess everywhere I go

In the hall and every single room, y’know

Have you seen him

Tell me have you seen him

Oh, I hear his whumps when he’s on the go

Love him glittered in disco ball day-glo

Have you seen him

Tell me have you seen him

Why, oh, why

Did he have to zoom then hide away?

Oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…

We’ve been used to havin’ Lupin’s feline fun

And he’s lost, baby, he’s lost

Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Have you seen him

Tell me have you seen him

[Tell me have you seen him]

I am beginning to believe this story arc was created just so Georgia could read all of our theories about what happened to Lupin.

A hint to people with breakables. Museum putty will “glue” a breakable down to a surface so the cat has to work seriously to destroy it. It’s sold under the brand name QUAKEhold at Home Depot.

We have a ninja orange girl. Places she’s hidden (giving us heart failure until we find her): inside the closed drawer under the dryer (she made her way behind the dryer and climbed into it from behind); inside a drawer in the bathroom vanity (she can open the middle door and close it behind her(!) and then climbed into the drawer from there); and (worst of all), inside my closed sewing machine cabinet (she squeezed underneath and then climbed up to a high inside shelf).

Check out Luann on GoComics this morning. We all know that’s a good thing to do when feeling frazzled…

The laundry room? Or maybe hanging off the ceiling?

~ I think Keith gets the nod as best due to the stuff he was playing to. Credit must be given to the great tunes that Pete penned.

Glad Sue Ellen has come back to your group. Being here is rare for me due to the voluminosity of talk. I love Kitty Katz court room drama as well as the song rewrites. We have Another Take at Dick Tracy who does daily strip script rewrites. I am awed by the talent I see in Comments. :-)

I suspect that Lupin is having a nap in a secluded area.

Oh I wouldn’t say no one is working, Lupin. Goldie is investigating the where abouts of the missing Lupin. And Burt is doing his usual excellent job of work. Puck appears to have done some reporting on the case. And what have YOU really done for work?

Ok, so the People don’t know either. This is a really puzzling mystery

Yes, putting out breakfast should help find Lupin. That is the way to find wayward cats (most of the time).

Aww, what a cute lamp!

OT. Big Gray slept and drank a bit of water last night. Today he’s been slurping small amounts of can food and sleeping. Granddaughters are here today, so he’s been hiding :).Thanks for all the well wishes for Big Gray!
