Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 03, 2022

Tommy: “Sophie talked to me! My whole day has been made!”

Okey, dokey! That says it all.

More Tommy toebeans. I love him and Sophie together.

Who told Tommy that the tower was “elegant but understated”? If it was Sophie, that means that she has spoken to him twice today.

And she learned to lov… like him in the end.

Over time, she will let you share the tower.

Or cats will let one a another climb just so they can swat at each other

Tommy was always so sweet and accommodating.

This strip seems familiar.

Oh, Tommy…

On a side note; Do any of you read Spirit of the Staircase? I thought it was funny this morning. Matt and Mumford are catsitting for Brian the vampire…

OT, but amusing

Its Georgia’s weekly tribute to Tommy.

I hope Tommy’s Woman reads these. From what I can tell, this one is pulled straight from their real-life relationship. Come on, Sophie, at least let him have the bottom.

The Orb’s Tommy

At Tommy’s New Home

Sophie: (Acid Queen)

If your fridge is not all it should be now

I know how to put it right

Using all my found objects

And then behold the sight!

…….

I am Sophie, the Artist Queen

Welcome to your new home

I am Sophie, the Artist Queen

Now leave me alone!

…….

Take a nap, go off and read

Please just let me be

When I’ve completed my work,

You can come and see.

…….

I am Sophie, the Artist Queen

Welcome to your new home

I am Sophie, the Artist Queen

Now leave me alone!

(Continued Below)

I want to buy a new cat tower but I’m afraid my cats will spend all the time in the box.

A good friend of my mother-in-law gave me her cat tower (cat died). My two don’t really use it, except to play king of the castle and beat each other about the head.

Oh Tommy, you are such a lovely..er…good boy!

This seems very familiar. The same thing happened with another acquisition at that house.

I see a Tusslemania moment approaching.

Poor Tommy!

That’s what I loved about Tommy from the start. His positivity in all circumstances. “This is Sophie! She doesn’t particularly like me!” And “okey dokey,” when told No.

It gives cats “the power to tower”.

I believe I have read this before, Ms Dunn must have taken a vacation-seeing as how most strips are done 4 to 6 weeks before they show up in newspapers and online

That thing would make a fine toilet cozy.

Georgia, will Tommy ever be in strips again? He was the life of the group.

Tommy will remain immortal in cartoon, verse, and song (thanks to our resident filkers). And remember, the Tommybaum is a symbol of life everlasting.

Tommy is easy going. Many cats would take that as a challenge.

I just gotta say, I’m loving the Tommy re-runs!

OT

Hmmm. I thought this the first time this strip aired, and I still think it now. Shouldn’t it be “understated, yet elegant”? Or is that just me? Perhaps Tommy has misquoted Sophie in his excitement.

I say again, climb it anyway, Tommy.

Has anyone else encountered this or found a solution?

Write a post, click the cyan ‘Comment’ button, and instead of the comment posting and the button vanishing, the button remains but goes pale cyan, and the comment doesn’t post? I get this every few days and it drives me up an unpleasant wall.
