Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 05, 2022

Now this. THIS is my favorite. A perfect standalone, and an instant snort-giggle.

At 432 am the People are due for an early wake up call.

Pucky is getting great pictures of this important event!

Love Lupin! Funny one today :)

Pounce, pounce, pounce, the cats are zooming…

I never even thought about this one, but it’s such a good one! Excellent choice.

Gotta test that gravity.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Did I wake you?

Say, as long as you’re up . . . did you know that the food bowls are empty?"

It’s important to test gravity frequently. You never know when it might fail.

This will NOT end well.

Lupin enjoys this very important work as gravity tester.

Dive, dive, dive!!!

Flying Toe Beans!

At least he isn’t knocking over the owl lamp. Is that a July bug print on the shade?

It looks as though the coffee is wearing off and he is descending from the ceiling.

He’s a good boy, loves his people

Loves mornings, testing gravity, too

He’s a cute boy, according to Elvis

Loves nosedives and Polaroids, too

It’ll be a long day livin’ in da pink house

There’s a stampede runnin’ through the bed

He’s no bad boy, ‘cause he’s making us laugh, yeah!

He’s no bad boy, just makin’ everyone mad

And he’s free, free fallin’

Yeah he’s free, free fallin’

Free Fallin’ / Tom Petty

Gravity check!

Everything seems to be in order. Carry on, felines!

That Lupin. He such a dive-a.

That Lupin. He such a great fell-er.

There will be an uproar shortly.

From the movie An American Tail: Somewhere Out There

Somewhere, out there beyond the Moon’s light,

We all think of someone who’s now out of sight,

Somewhere, out there, some are saying a prayer,

That we’ll all remember the joy and love from our friend.

…….

And even though we know how very far away he is,

It’s nice to think of his adventures beyond the Rainbow Bridge

And when we start to miss all his adventures, it’s good to know our friend,

Will continue here in all the comics, and the love will never end!

…….

Somewhere, out there, love will see us through

We’ll do more than just remember

Somewhere out there, out where dreams come true!

A picture worth a thousand laughs.

Rarely has a dedicated scientist been so joyful about completing his tasks!

THWUMP!

Puck is chronicling this special scientific moment.

Can’t sleep in-the younger kitty jumps on the bed and then pummels my bladder to get up and feed him. Lupin will be lucky if he is still alive by 6:am.

I love the classic polaroid camera Pucky has. The one with the rainbow stripe is a SX-70 One Step Rainbow Camera, I believe. I never owned one, but I use to love the commercials with James Garner and Mariette Hartley.

Oh boy. someone is in for a rude awakening!( and somebody going on an unplanned trip to the kitty time out room!

U = – GMm/R

Where G = Gravitational Constant, M & m = Masses of the two particles, & R = is the distance between the object’s center of mass (Lupin’s body) above a chosen reference point (the bed).

Close to the bed’s surface, the gravitational field is approximately constant, and the gravitational potential energy of an object reduces to… Oh never mind. Suffice it to say that the People are unwilling subjects in Lupin’s Newtonian experiment. Although, they will receive a footnote when Lupin publishes his paper in the Classical and Quantum Gravity Journal.

Ha! This really sums up Lupin. The pure joy, the mischief, the curiosity and adventure, all the things that make Lupin wonderful and exasperating to People everywhere.

That Lupin grin of unbridled glee!

This sums up the cats perfectly: Elvis’s serious reporting, Puck’s cheery camera, Lupin’s joy at being the best bad boy.

WEEEEEEEEE…!!!

Perfect end to Lupin week!

And Puck has his Polaroid!

This has happened to me so many times!

This just in: Cats land on their feet…

“Soar like an eagle — land like a rock!”

You know…just in case it’s changed any from an hour ago when he last tested it.

I fear the Peoples’ blissful sleep is DOOMED.

O.T. Inspiration for Home Style?

Perfect ending to the week!

Just posted…Georgia doing an art lesson tomorrow…

That cat is lucky in his humans. He would have been badly hurt or badly offended by the time some of us realized it was him. Don’t do things like that if your human has been abused. I had a friend who had his college room mate dangling from his hands around his throat before he woke up enough to know it wasn’t his father trying to kill him.

We had one who would do that from the top of the headboard. Always landed on me. RIP Blynken. And RIP Lupin.

Coincidentally, this tests the levity among all the news watchers. :)

LSO: Lupin One, slightly right … slightly high … in the groove …

BOLTER! BOLTER! BOLTER!

LUPIN you are just having way too much fun.

What a wonderful comic to cap Lupin Week!

OT: The cat is back

Cat science marches (pounces) on.

This is why you don’t give him coffee

This summer, Grandma and I will have to get used to dealing with a cat again. Our daughter’s family just adopted a kitten that allegedly is at least part Maine Coon Cat. They named it Burns Sebastian because they brought it home close to Burn’s Night and because our granddaughter insisted on the Sebastian part. That takes care of two of the three names Old Possum says each cat needs. Burns joins the families one rabbit, two dogs and 11 chickens.

I think of little Lupin every day. It is comforting to know I can still see him in BCN.

“This is about to be a test of the Emergency Wake Up System. . .”

Wake up call

Woke you in the morning with a belly flop on your bed

You won’t lay around here anymore

You won’t lay around here

(I don’t feel so bad)

.

(With no apologies to Maroon 5, ever, for anything.)

Has anybody heard anything about how @piwismom is doing after surgery? I’m sending out prayers and positive thoughts that the surgery was successful and her recovery is going well.

Yep, looks like gravity still works.

♥️

Oh, apparently there’s a therapy cat based out of San Antonio that visited a hospital in the Rio Grande Valley this week. A gray Maine Coon named…

Zane Gray!

When I went out to get the mail and fill the feeders today, I took my snow hoe for balance. It gives more stability than the broom. I also put the handset from my cordless phone in my pocket and tested it to see if I can still contact the base from the end of my driveway. I can. That gives me a short term backup.

I tried to carve out a hollow with the snow hoe, but the temperatures overnight got down near zero F so the plow pack was a little more solid than yesterday. I couldn’t lower it at all. I was able to get over it by carefully and slowly stepping into my boot prints and knee prints from yesterday. Temps aren’t supposed to get above freezing until mid week, and then we’re supposed to get rain followed by more cold and snow. That could turn the plow pack into an ice mountain! It’s so frustrating that the road is clear, but I can’t get out of my driveway and my neighbor who had the snow plow moved.

SHE’S LIVE!!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U7yzHnNdqFc

Brings back memories…we had a small but dense little black kitty we named Ptolemy (Tommy). He would jump up on the bed towards morning to wake us up. This little act was akin to dropping a 22 lb Bowling ball on an unsuspecting tummy! He was successful…he certainly woke us up! I miss him, (sniff).

I’m glad that none of my kitties have ever done this.

I loved this Lupin week! Also, My cat DID jump on my face once, too.

It would be terrible to wake up and discover that gravity no longer worked—especially in the bedroom!

He will live on in our memories forever! A beautiful cat loved by so many…we haven’t truly lost him—he’s just brought his antics to a higher plain.

I didn’t know that you had lost Lupin. I am so sorry! ❤️

Lupin will live on in the comics, furever. <3

Test results just in- gravity seems to be fully functional!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Lupin was my favorite news cat!
