Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 29, 2022

“Literally there with bells on” – oh, now, hang on a moment – was that entire story with the bell last week just to make that joke? Kudos!

Super cool Lupin. Lying in the fish pan….nice!

It’s square and pink. Salmon?

… he says in this total Frank Sinatra voice.

I’m hearing Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers singing “I’ll be Home With Bells On” in my mind’s ear.

If anyone believes that, I have a bridge to sell…

OT: Prayers please

My powerful and supportive fellow Orbters. My mother needs your prayers. Her name is Linda, and she lives in Joplin, MO, Over a month ago she fell and hit her head (temple….) which caused a sub-dural hematoma, or brain bleed. It was small and the neurologists thought it would be ok. She’d been getting regular scans, and the bleed had been getting smaller, but today she started acting odd and not processing things correctly. She then slumped to the floor and could hold on to my brother’s hands but was otherwise unresponsive and went into convulsions. She was taken to the ER and bloodwork and CT Scan don’t show anything bad so she is having another MRI. She has recently been able to squeeze my brother’s hand to let him know she was hearing and understanding him. It is SO hard being so far away and so far I don’t know how much danger she is in. This is my first week of full-time work (was supposed to start 2 wees earlier) but if I need to I’m going to get there ASAP work remote from Joplin. I’m SO worried and scared. So please, I’d like to harness the power of the Orb for prayers, good thoughts, or whatever juju is your thing. My mom is SO strong and good to others. She needs to be ok. PLEASE!!!!

The Woman does not look amused by Mr Nonchalant.

Lupin’s elbow looks stained by whatever is on the Woman’s plate.

Aww. Pucky’s tie showing under his napkin.

Top bad they has belled you Lupin. Now you can’t sneaks away with their foods.

They are still hopeful for fish.

Pucky toe beans!

Lupin (rear!) toe beans!

“Bells on” – I love it! And wake up scaeva, there’s both front and rear toe beans to be admired. The Woman looks less than amused by the obligatory “cat hair of approval,” bestowed by Lupin leaning into the mashed potatoes.

Of course you don’t Lupin!

Yeaahhh my Tortie, Winnie, definitely does NOT play it cool when it comes to food. :P

Forget invisibility, Lupin is there with his elbows in the potato salad. But look how casual he is. So casual!!

Lupin looks so cool!

Panel 2 brings to mind – Bond, James Bond. Or in this case … Cat, Lupin T. Cat.

Cats not liking food? STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

The key to success is acting like you don’t even notice you got your elbow in the mashed potatoes.

Is Lupin the leader of the Cat Pack?

“Is that a new perfume? It smells roasty "

Cat hair, the Essential Condiment …

My prayers and thoughts for the safe and speedy recovery for your mom.

I don’t think she is buying it, Lupin.

If the woman understood Lupin, there’s no food for you.

My cat begs like a dog. It’s only after I relent and give her something that she acts like Lupin and “doesn’t even like food”. She will sniff the morsel I gave her, turn her nose up at it, and then resume begging.

I repeat: if Lupin can’t hear how does he know what the others are saying?

Not bad for napping and lounging on but eating?

THe blasted bell is back. Someone get rid of the bell so the fish can be enjoyed in peace.

Adding the prayers and good thoughts for your mom and all your family from our little clan. May you feel the strength and comfort of God’s love.

Did… Did he just call her Baby?
