Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 06, 2022

Elvis and I are like peas in a pod sometimes.

Lupin, Lupin, Lupin. But I did laugh.

Follows after Demolish the Furniture 2020 and Demolish the Furniture 2021.

If the Intruder Who Sits on Cats drops by, it will be a bit more than she expected. Maybe.

Don’t believe it Elvis. It won’t be fine, especially when the Family returns. Hide. Don’t participate.

So I guess Tusslemania is a second week in April observance regardless of whenever Vince McMahon puts on his major “entertainment event”?

Poor Elvis. I’ve been in situations like that myself where no one appreciates the person trying to act like a responsible adult amid a group of wild younguns

Pikers! My cats don’t need a special occasion to demolish the furniture.

The Bellicose games of 2022. Lupin will ring the starting bell.

O.T. — my eyes. Asking for prayer/positive thoughts. Saw the Dr and my left eye’s cataract is so bad I couldn’t read the top line. It was just a white square with black splotches. Traditional surgery is scheduled for the 17th and then the right eye on the 25th. I’m a little nervous as the left eye had retina surgery a couple of years ago and hope that won’t complicate things. The good news was that the macula degeneration in both eyes has not worsened, praise God! Thank you.

Lupin, you’re not exactly making your case, there.

Elvis is the voice of responsibility.

We have to have Tusslemania, so give it up, Elvis.

I remain amazed that they haven’t eaten that feather boa yet. Or maybe they did. Maybe there’s a new feather boa every year. Maybe there’s a Feather Boa Vending Machine in the station wardrobe that spits them out like arcade tickets. Also, maybe I should go to bed.

I pity the one who will be sitting on these cats!

Goldie, you might just be promising the moon here…

Sophie might show up as some water-creature and the furniture (and floors) will be soaked as well as demolished.

Does anyone think the furniture is doomed?

I guess someone now feels it’s their place to offer two cents. Bold.

What’s that stuff on Elvis’ face? A five O’clock shadow? Or, is he growing a beard?

Uh-oh, Lupin’s chaos is unhindered with the People out of town! We are doomed.

Get the tables! Get the chairs! Break the ladders!

Two panels of Goldie toe beans! Double Squeee!

Queen: We Are the Champions

The Humans are gone

We’re all alone

We can do whatever

All on our own

And bad mistakes

We’ve made a few

It’s time to tussle

Elvis may disagree

But we must come through

…….

And the fight must go on and on and on!

…….

We are the champions, my friends!

And we’ll go on wrestling till the end!

We may be the guardians,

But we are the champions!

No time for Humans

Cause we are the Champions

Among Cats!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Palace

Lupinium: 796.44! 796.44!

Elvis-Anum: What in the world are you going on about, Lupinium?

Lupinium: Beatrixia just discovered a whole treasure trove of scrolls about gymnastics and athletics at the Great Pyramid Library!796.44 is my number!

Elvis-Anum: Great. At least now we’ll be able to hear you coming.

Enter Beatrixia

Bea: I thought I heard a commotion in here. Is everything alright?

Lupinium: Great! I’m practicing a new routine from one of the scrolls you showed me.

Bea: I thought you’d like to know Thomios has just baked a fresh batch of scones if you’d like to take a snack break.

Lupinium: I’m there! 796.44! 796.44!

Bea: I have a scroll for you, Elvis. I know you like to work on calligraphy.

Elvis-Anum: Are there more like this at the library?

Bea: Sure are.

After Snack Break

Elvis-Anum: Now time for a nap. 745.61, 745.61, Zzzzzz…..

Demolish the Furniture 2022! This could be a whole series, followed by Furniture Wreckage Rumble 2023, Lampocalypse 2024, and Kitchen Destruction 2025! I notice that there is such a clear distinction in Elvis’ mind between what Lupin is proposing and doing the exact same thing while the People are home and eating cheesecake. Perhaps therein lies a path to bring out Mommy’s Special Boy.

“It’ll be fine!” is a pronouncement in much the same vein as “Hold my beer and watch this!” – usually preceding an utter disaster.

Holiday

Celebrate

Holiday

Ain’t it great?

If we took a holiday

Took some time to celebrate

Just one day of our 9 lives

It would be

It would be so nice

Everybody spread the purrs

We’re gonna have a celebration

Leave nothing undisturbed

In breakin’ cat nation

It’s time for the good times

Forget about El’s bad vibes, oh yeah

One day to come together and tussle for pleasure

We need a rasslin’ day

We can spread our news around

And bring back all of those happy days

With People outta town

It’s time to wreck the place

Celebrate!

- Curtis Lee Hudson / Lisa C Stevens – Holiday – Madonna

And punctuated by Lupin’s bell (DING DING), just like a real wrestling match.

Yeah, this probably isn’t going to end well, but heck if we aren’t going to enjoy it anyway. :D

. . . only be gone for one night . . . Any body else anticipating a blizzard, flood or other travel impediment that will extend that ‘one night’ a bit longer?

Nice to see Lupin & Goldie in cahoots for once! OTOH, it’s also potentially disastrous…

Ain’t no party like a cat wrasslin’ party.

But wait—isn’t it all just theater?

Hooray! Another year of Tusslemania!

Can someone remind me…? Have we seen Goldie’s wrestling personna yet?

I imagine they will still be partying by the time the people come back lol

OT: My copy of “Behind the Scenes with Burt” arrived yesterday. Yay!!!

OT: My Behind the Scenes with Burt arrived last night!!!!

Love the swishing tail! Reminds me of when my kitties are irritated.

As a friend used to say “C’mon! It’ll be fun!”. Upon hearing that rallying cry, you knew a bad idea was about to happen…

Elvis as usual being his not-so iconic self

May I suggest an alternative theme? Yoga Party! Yoooooga! Yoooga! Yoga! Yoga! Yoga! (In my best Blutarsky voice.)

They’re here!!!! Burt’s books are here!!!! Doing somersaults (in my fantasies)

I was so sad to learn that Bobby Rydell has passed.

Place your bets, folks! Who do you think will win DEMOLISH THE FURNITURE 2022??? Anything can happen, so place your bets wisely!

OT: Mom update

Lupin needs a reason to demolish the furniture?

Thanks for all of the positive support about my eyes everyone!! I’m pretty lucky that this year I have good insurance that will pay 80 percent instead of all of it,and I could find a Dr only 45 mins away instead of 3 hrs which was what I would have had to do last year.

Oops, forgot to mention that tomorrow. April 7th is opening day for Major League Baseball!! Any baseball fans here?? Praying that Jake heals completely and quickly, we can’t do it without him,!! The hot dogs are ready for grilling so….. LET’S GO METS!!

Hope your vision is restored with minimal discomfort and stays with you for all the days of your life. Losing my sight is one of my greatest fears also, but you got this.

Someone called Wrestlemania yesterday!!

Tweet from Dr. Scuttles, April 5

Here is some such nonsense from that troublesome cat news station. Not that I pay them any attention.

…I do hear this volume has the entire ‘Our IX Lives’ 2016 Christmas special though, and THAT is of some note!

(Love OIXL, of course, who DOESN’T.)
