Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 13, 2022

They keep the kibble in the lower cabinets. Is that the “treats” container?

Puck’s little benediction to the cannister cracks me up!

Oh, Goldie is into this! It makes me happy to see her so confident and daring and mischievous.

OT: escapes in TinyKittenLand! The otter kittens have discovered the way out of the nest!

Carmela’s dad is going to have the heart scope 7 am central.

Has anyone thought about port-a-catboxes for this party?

I foresee disaster ahead!

This will teach the People to never go on over night excursions.

And in other news, over at Phoebe and Her Unicorn there is also a party being planned. How fun! :D

Thanks to everyone who explained what “theme” means. Since I am only familiar with parties in which the planning does not go beyond “white wine goes with carpet, red wine goes with linoleum”, it opens up new vistas.

If gravity works the way it usually does, that food bin is doomed.

OT: Weather

Puck’s been infected by Lupinitus! Symptoms include chaos!

So, nobody brought up Lupin’s upraised rear paw in the last panel yet? My friends, you need your coffee (or tea) still. It isn’t BCN comments without a SQUEEEE for toe beans here.

I feel “delicate operation” and “swift kick” are rarely the same thing.

OT

Where is Elvis to stop this mayhem?!

Come now, Puck, you can do better. At least try for some chicken. This does bring to mind a moment in a certain Christmas story arc. “Nobody be a bad kitty!”

OMG!! I’m pretty sure Lupin is related to my Trixie! :-D

Cats and gravity have a strange and wonderful relationship.

Sounds like a plan! Kick it off, Lupin.

OT: Sano

Naughty kitties!

In-your-face rear toe beanzzzzz!!!!!

Ah, the old knock it off the counter trick. That’s how I ended up 1 ceramic canister short of a set.

My story is much too sad to be told

Yeah, sitting here on this counter leaves me totally cold

The only exception I know is the case

When you’re out on a party spree

As I fight vainly the old ennui

You suddenly appear in my counter space

I get no kick from champagne

Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all

So tell me why should it be true

That I get a kick out of you

- Cole Porter – I Get a Kick Out of You

RIP food bin.

Be careful!

When I was on a late date, Wilamena the Radio Cat found the kibble bag on top of the refrigerator. When I got home, I found that she had ripped it open and was eating from the bag, while the others cats were feasting on the floor. Smartest cat I ever met.

Delicate operation…. until that container breaks & makes a bigger mess…

OT – a cat miracle at Tiny Kittens

The pictures are back, even with adblockers on. YAAAAAYYYYY!!! OTOH, the notification links don’t seem to be working now… #LameGoComicsHTML!

A word to the wise RE this plan…

I doubt that the food will stay intact, after this ‘gentle operation’…

Broadcast from The Wild World of (Feline) Sports:

Lupin gets himself set … here’s the kick … it’s up … it’s good! Score! And the crowd goes wild!

Update on Carmela’s father: Heart catheter showed no blockage but while doing the procedure his heart rate varied from 120 to 42. Wow, no wonder he gets dizzy and falls. They are now looking to stabilize his heart rate either by drug or pacemaker and are leaning towards the drug because it doesn’t require surgery. Whenever they do release rim he will need to have live in care or be in a rehab center because his wife doesn’t get around well on her own and would not be able provide the help he needs. Nether one of them want to do the rehab center. The pneumonia has cleared so that’s crossed of the list.

Bad plan. Food bin’s empty.

Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bad Moon Rising

I see a canister a-falling!

I see a mess upon the floor

I see a lot of trouble coming,

When our Humans open the door!

……..

Elvis avoids this like the plague

He doesn’t mean to be a drag,

But he knows this will not end well!

…….

I see the Human’s anger rising,

I see the cats all scatter away!

I see the no-no squirt bottle!

Somehow I know it’s gonna spray!

…….

Meanwhile the cats from all around

Come to make a wild sound,

As they use the litter box on the right!

Years ago, I had a cat named Marble. One Thanksgiving I went away for 5 days and entrusted a dear friend to care for Marble. I distinctly remember leaving the bag of kibble on the counter and thinking “this could end badly if Marble gets on the counter”. Marble didn’t normally jump on the counter. Well, dear friend totally forgot about taking care of Marble, so Marble took matters into her own paws and kicked the bag to the floor, then ate all she wanted. I couldn’t blame her. And my friendship with the dear friend faded even though I forgave her. She was mortified that she forgot.

And hurl they did!!!
