Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 18, 2021

Elvis in spectacles is my favourite Elvis look! It’s “Editor-in-Chief Elvis”. (๑′ᴗ‵๑)

I always love seeing Elvis reading the paper (usually angrily) with his little reading glasses.

Take me with you. ♫”Fly me to the moon….”♫

Elvis is a whole Mood™ today.

Robots on the moon, but no dogs. (This is a reference no one else will get, but I feel compelled to make.)

I read a story in a dog psychology book about a family with a dog with severe issues. The dog psychologist went into the home— five kids, loud music everywhere, everyone screamed to be heard, and it never stopped. He suggested they cut down drastically on the noise because it was too much for the dog to handle. They did. The dog and, surprisingly, the family was much happier. I think Elvis has reached the cat version of too much noise.

♫ He’s gettin’ nothin’ but static, Gettin’ nothin’ but static, Static in his attic from Channel Z!!! ♫

I’m with Elvis: way too much noise and distraction.

The very first thing I thought of was a story from Japanese mythology where the sun goddess holed herself up in a cave because the god of storms was wreaking havoc. Not on the moon, though. Maybe Elvis can join the rabbit there and make rice cakes.

Good luck, Elvis! (Robots will find you).

So, the kidnappers returned the true Elvis!

It seems that both the Moon and Mars are entirely populated by robots. Those on Venus died quickly. Even solid Russian engineering couldn’t take the strain.

Perhaps Burt’s barn or Baba’s chicken coop might be a bit quieter. I’d suggest a visit with Beatrix at the book store, but I don’t think Elvis has the personality required of a book store cat.

Cute little cat paw blanket he’s sitting on.

I see Goldie is not wearing yesterday’s kerchief.

Elvis’s face in the 3rd panel makes me want to scream, and Burt’s message in the bottom of the 4th panel is funny and true.

Elvis is back to normal.

I hope Daneel likes cats.

Could those ears airplane any further? That is one cranky Siamese!

Teef!!!

Elvis is the grumpy old man I’ve always wanted to be.

Mars is out, too.

For As Time Goes By Fans: Thunder and the Moon

Giorgi the Shepherd: I am alone with my sheep, but my sheep are not alone with me.

Elvis: What’s that supposed to mean?

Giorgi: I don’t know, but doesn’t it sound profound?

Elvis: Not really.

Giorgi: I guess it sounded better in the original Romanian.

Elvis: All I wanted was a place to be alone and read my newspaper.

Giorgi: This place is as good as any, if you don’t mind the occasional bleat.

Elvis: By the way, don’t you become a sheep at the end of this story?

Giorgi: I tried, but I just couldn’t develop a taste for grass.

Wherever you go, Elvis, I’m sure your sunny demeanor will ease tensions as always.

Poor Elvis. He’s in sensory overload and can’t take it any more. I’d invite him over here, but Yum Yum would wallop him and send him packing.

He is clearly not reading the Science section on his daily paper.

Prediction: Elvis escapes to the laundry room in the basement where it will be time for another episode of “My IX Lives”!

But the robots on the moon aren’t play Love Shack over and over and over. Those robots are playing That’s Amore!

I know how ya feel buddy

Well, Tortimer is just doing his job, so no complaint there. But Birdy Drone doing that fly-by was really unwarranted, and in some areas considered an act of provication and solicitation to make war.

Elvis’ reaction, to ignore them and move off is a peaceful resolution if the other players do not continue their provication.

If they do, Scream “Havoc!” and unleash the Cats-of-war, Goldie and Lupin to battle your enemies…see them driven before you, and hear the lamintations of their women (robots)

Fly me to the moon

Let me read among the stars

Let me see what life is like

Without chaos near and far

In other words: hold the noise

In other words: baby, dignity

Fill my days with peace

And be quiet for ever more

That is what I wish for

It’s the mayhem I abhor

In other words: “Love Shack” – not!

In other words: stop robots

[Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)]

“When this song was written by Bart Howard in 1954, it had a title ‘In Other Words’.

Frank Sinatra’s 1964 version was associated with the Apollo missions to the moon: it became the first music heard on the moon when Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin played it on a portable cassette player after he stepped onto its surface."

Guys…I dont think Elvis likes the robots…

I hope Elvis’s robots observe the 3-Laws.

Georgia posted on Facebook and Instagram that Burt found some footage from 1991 when Baba Mouse was a reporter. The frame she shows has a date of July 10 so next month we get to see young Baba doing reporting, can’t wait.

OT – Medical and other updates in comments

Dangnabbit robots are everywhere. Thank goodness I is in me bear cave.

Panel three – there’s only so much that a dignified cat can put up with.

Elvis, make sure you pick a cave that’s far away from the LunarMax. You don’t want to know what’s in there.

A preview of coming attractions, from Georgia’s IG:

…and the Robots on the moon are in caves. =8-o

Take another spin, Cat Man.

And don’t try Mars either, there are also robots on there.

Well known fact. Lunar caves are all chock full of robots. The caves have no life forms or machines that prey on robots. Sadly, the robots are responsible for the extinction of lunar mice.

I don’t think there are robots on the moon. Mars, but not the moon. At least not ones that still work.

If only there was a lawn nearby, so that Elvis could tell kids to “Git offa it, dagnabbit.”

AMEN! I’m with Elvis on this one!

Can’t say I blame him.

Anyone around now? I posted a new Giblet & Belle short story for all of you to enjoy. It’s called Overdoing It. Go to Gibletbelle.com and enjoy.

Cute!

OT: WEATHER

I’ve been through just about every summer weather warning on the books in the past hour. My weather radio is programmed to automatically come on when an alert starts and shut off 5 minutes later. But as soon as all the details of one warning were done, another one was starting up. Severe storm warning for my county, 2 separate tornado warnings for my town, and flash flood warning for my county. The first tornado went just about 3 miles to the NE. The second one came within about 5 miles to the SW. The flash flood happened to the farm across the road. The lower cornfield is covered in water. The farm lane has washed out. I can hear the gravel (that was in the driveway) crunching when cars drive over the road. I took my laptop down to the basement and hunkered down under the stairway.

So far no reports on damage, but the tornado that was headed this way was showing a debris field when it was spotted on radar. Earlier in the evening the area 2 counties to the north had a tornado touchdown that did severe damage to a farm, killing cattle and goats.

Anybody need some adrenaline? I seem to have an excess amount running through my system still.

I am with Elvis on this one. Oh give me a home, where the robots don’t roam, and the beer in the fridge is well stocked!

Lol, Elvis XD

Like rovers and spaceships, although I wouldn’t call them robots.
