Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 06, 2021

Well, I guess the sink is a dry well. Maybe he ran down the drain?

And the sink hypothesis is officially busted! I can hear the groans of disappointment from the peanut gallery (that’d be us!) from here.

Oooo! He could be in “a” sink! That’s a favourite spot! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡ Maybe not the sink the Woman is checking, but surely there are others in the apartment?? http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/lupin-is-invisible-when-hes-in-the-sink/

Natasha, please don’t hurt the froggie! That’s a stick, not a gig!

Love the robber mice continuing with their sticks

Mr. Man, he’s not going to bite you. He just bit me.

Lupin better hope Natasha doesn’t stab him with that wicked stick she is so vigorously wielding!

Everyone has a fear of being bitten. I don’t remember Lupin having such a bitey rep. Elvis on the other hand . . .

[laughing my head off]!!!

The way she is stabbing with that stick, something in the toybox is doomed.

OT: Frustrations

Does that koala have the Rod of Asclepios, or is that just a stitch over the heart?

I like Natasha’s stabby approach.♥

They should be looking for something white and red. The way Natasha is poking, Lupin’s gonna be bleeding.

I like the fact that a Mouse with a stick gets no reaction whatsoever.

Luckily, I did not have a cat on my lap when I read the Man’s comment!

“Stick be true”. My new anthem.

Says the Tiger, and we do have these conversions once in a while, ‘Do the cats in the comic suffer from Covid?’ ‘Covid?’ ‘Yes, Covid, you know, no sense of smell,’ he says pink nose reemerging from my teacup, smacking his lips. He sticks in a paw licks it thoughtfully;’ They can’t be real cats, real cats would have sniffed him out by now:’

He lives in an apartment

On the ninety-ninth house west of Block

And many at home try to find tired Lupin

Imagining where he has flopped

Helped by a mouse, too

Who’s all acting like a psychopath

And shouts out, “STICK BE TRUE”

As she stabs at all soft things in her path

I say, hey (hey), Lupin (Lupin)

Get off of that cloud

Hey (hey), Lupin (Lupin)

Get off that that cloud

Hey (hey), Lupin (Lupin)

Get off of that cloud

Don’t hang around unseen by your crowd

Thump real loud, baby

(Mick Jagger / Keith Richard – Get Off My Cloud)

Woman, did you check the bathtub/shower? And how nice of the Man to lift Pucky up to help check the toy box.

When dealing with cats, never fail to show due respect for the sharp, pointy bits.

To Georgia, if she’s reading these comments, is this a common problem with Lupin in real life?

My guess is that the missing feline is in the laundry basket or Lupin made it down to the laundry room and the gang will find him when they go to watch “My IX Lives” later in the day.

From Carole King: So Far Away

So far, no cat

Doesn’t any kitty nap in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to hear your lion’s roar,

Doesn’t help to know that

…….

You are here somewhere

In a while you’ll awake and there you’ll be

I don’t want to run into you and have you bite me,

So I’ll look carefully, but still

So far, no cat.

…….

Carefully looking along each white background,

Natasha has her stick to help out too,

Goldie is working on her detecting,

But we still have trouble finding you,

…….

‘Cause there’s just

So far, no cat

Doesn’t any kitty nap in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to hear your lion’s roar,

…….

Running around after a bout of the Zoomies

Nothing left to do but nap in time

I sure hope we’ll be able to find you,

Against a white background you’re so hard to find

…….

But still,

So far, no cat

Doesn’t any kitty nap in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to hear your lion’s roar,

But still so far, no cat.

(Whispering…) I’m afraid I will get bitten, if I make a comment…

…or get poked with a stick…by a mouse…

How can the hyoomans so blatantly ignore a mice infestation in their home? Don’t they know the dangers of it?

Many years ago, I had a cat who liked to sleep among my pile of stuffed animals. It reminded me of ET hiding among young Miss Barrymore’s toys.

I can’t get enough of Natasha and her stick!

So very clever of Agnes (Natasha?) to use a stick in her search thus avoiding the bite of a cranky cat.

So what do you folks do when you can’t find a cat, white or not? I open a can of tuna. Within 3 min everyone shows up.

Stick be true! STAB STAB * Love it!

Enough messing around, time to get everything white out of the apartment. Break out the paint, buy new sheets and towels, replace the tub and sink (I suggest pink) . All white things must go!

Today, in Saint Louis – Missouri, is GIVE STL DAY – https://www.givestlday.org/index.php – All the non-profits group together to raise money for their causes. It is an opportunity to see how many different organizations are doing good in the region. I am sure many of you have something similar in your cities.

I gave a few small donations to several pet rescue organizations such as 10th Life (a cat-rescue organization). Every cat we have ever owned has come either from a rescue organization or they came into the yard and stayed because they knew we were suckers, i.e., Giblet!

I have never known a more caring group that cares about cats, more than the Orb. If you have the inclination, please visit GIVE STL or your local equivalent.

Cheers!

P.S., I bet Lupin is in the bathtub!

The toy koala is just Kawaii :)

I now certainly sense a common theme here.

He will show up when he gets hungry.

When will Lupin stop catting around?

I mentioned Georgia’s Cinco de Mayo comic yesterday. She did post it on Facebook last night which reminded me that she actually had a chance to get it in the newspaper a couple of years ago when it was on a Sunday. If you haven’t seen it before here it is:

I figured him being in the sink would be too simple.

The woman seems to have checked only one sink.

OT: June 8

I wish I could post them here. I have pictures, one of which is on my FB page of our Russel. One, he IS the cat in the hat, because he is on the end table, perched in my Greek cap. The FB one, he is sitting in one of my R/C sailboats, which was, ironically enough, a model ‘Catboat’. We have found him in the dryer, in my toolbox, in the sink, jammed in the bookcase, stuffed in various bags, when he was a kitten, a hamster ball, a shoebox, and once, after looking for him for 30 minutes, actually inside the house of his cat tower.

The Man is concerned about nipping.

I would open a can of fragrant cat food and stroll around the house until he smells it and comes out of hiding.

Try cooking some bacon. He can not hear it cooking, but he will certainly SMELL it!

Wow, Lupin must not be a cat you wake from a nap. Even the Man is concerned about about being bitten. Natasha really has the right idea.

And why could the STICK be named Dwight rather than Stir of Chop?

I SEE GARFIELD GOOSE IN THE TOY BASKET!!! Someone gave me a Garfield Goose puppet when I was like 5 and it was the best gift I ever got….till I got my next pair of cowboy boots.

We haven’t seen the children either. All three sleeping late together?

Go Natasha. Let your stick be true!

Has anyone seen DragonGriffin200 lately? I haven’t noticed them for a while.

You don’t see a lot of Garfield Goose cameos. The old boy is looking good.

Those are pretty cute toys.

If he bites you, then you’ve found him!

And if you’re that worried about it, go get the falconry gloves you wear every time you pick up Elvis.

Go into the kitchen. Run the can opener. Problem solved.

Where could he be?!?

I help take care of an orange tabby whose owners moved a few blocks away. When he disappears it is especially nerve-wracking because he has been locked up somewhere on two occasions, once for a full week. If they don’t see him for a couple of days, they contact me and I’ve been able to assure them that he has dropped by several times for a “mooch” at my place and is just catting around.

I see a horrible goose.
