Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 04, 2023

THEY MAKE ME WANNA HISS! Ora not having any of it. Pucky, arms folded, then pure Puck anger! I’m with them!

Love Ora standing up for dear, sweet Puck.

Go for it, Ora!

Georgia’s written somewhere of how she makes sure that Pucky knows what his boundaries are. He’s not a spineless pushover, but stands up for himself without holding grudges.

The Woman also owes Puck an apology!!

I wait for you’re saying “sorry” coming up on-air

Listen for “air-pologies”, but they’re still not there

Waiting for the first, dear, to let the sorry soar

I don’t hear it, does it mean you don’t care for me anymore?

I hear the clock a-ticking, time is fleeting, gee!

See toebeans a-moving, do a li’l “squeee!”

I wonder what the standoff’s use was and why I got the blame

I don’t see it, does it mean you don’t care for me anymore?

Don’t pass me this, don’t make me hiss, don’t make me blue

’Cause you know, darlings, you owe me, you do

You’ll never know it’s hurting me, when your stubbornness I see

Don’t pass me this

Don’t make me hiss

I’m sorry that I doubted you, I made such a wail

You were in a cat fight, and you puffed your tail

You said “We care” a little late about an hour or two

I said that’s all right, seriously, just happy to hear it from you

Note from the filker

Don’t pass Puck by, I tell ya why, don’t make him blue

Or else, darlings, I take off my shoe

You’ll wish you never had a nose, once you get a swiff of those

Don’t tease him please, don’t make him hiss

(Don’t Pass Me By / The Beatles)

We-eeellllllllll,

You know you make me wanna HISS !!

Kick my back paws up and HISS !!

Throw my front paws up and HISS !!

Throw my head back and HISS !!

Come on now – HISS !! … :)

Tell me what cha want, what cha really really want! I wanna Hiss, I wanna Hiss, I wanna Hiss!

What? Cats and apologise? This is FAKE MEWS!

I thought Pucky was going to throw paws for a moment.

There was a feature on NPR this evening where they covered this!

And on the subject of apologies…

Even a double shot of Lupin TOE BEANS can’t make up for that weak apology.

They acted like it was an apology to each other and not to poor Pucky. Hiss away, hiss away.

I’ll tell ya, Ora. Life makes me want to hiss sometimes, also.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Previously:

Puckmosis: What are we going to tell Arachna about her web?

Enter Arachna

Arachna: I heard about my web being demolished. What happened?

Puck: Lupinium.

Beatrixia: And Iggy and Ora Z.

Arachna: Gotcha.

Lupinium: Uh, how was the locust plague, Ari?

Ari: Oh, it went great. I was able to make cinnamon and spice(s) treats thanks to the Royal Procurers.

Lupinium: I’m really sorry about your web. We all are.

Ari: Well, can’t be helped now. Let’s listen to Serfig-Aro announce the winners of the competition.

Serfig-Aro: I am pleased to announce the winners of the First Annual Artisan’s competition.

First, the winner of the Found Object Category: Sophititi for her sculpture Everything is Useful.

Next, the winner of the Wearable Art Category: Louie-Nour!

Beatrixia: You always dress so cool, Louie. I didn’t know you made all of your outfits.

Louie: Hey, it’s a gift!

Serfig-Aro: In the Metal Sculpture Category: Iron Glove for his Nautical Theme!

And in the Tapestry Category: Maat-Tilda for her Jeweled Sky!

Elvis-Anum: This is so exciting! I can’t wait for the Best in Show!

Puckmosis: Sounds like you know something.

Elvis: I’ll never tell!

Serfig-Aro: And now the Grand Prize Best in Show! Arachna Webspinner for her Performance Art: Triple Thwump!

There you go. As we have learned, when you mess with Puck, you need to own up to it. For some reason (maybe her general disposition), Ora Zella still looks gleeful rather than angry in the final panel.

I love little Ora Z. in the last panel. Hiss away at them, little girl!.....Completely off topic:... I got the translator job I applied on. I start training on March 19 and should be on the schedule in early April. Also, I am going to pursue the self-employed virtual assistant career I have been looking into. Wish me luck!

Wish I could hiss

OT – possible author of Rainbow Bridge

Baby is so cute “Makes me want to hisss”

I thought puckie said yes they da for a minute there.

The filkers are strong today!

the feisty one is so cute <3

They’ll do that until the claws come out.

Oh, the tail swishing……..And her tail all poofed up.

I’ve seen pucky mad before but I don’t think I’ve seen him this mad since the food change.

O.T. Wind—we survived the wind with no damage except to nerves. Unfortunately it will be a recurring situation around here for the next couple of months. But this is, so far, a lovely sunny Saturday, a good day to enjoy the unfortunately early blossoming trees that will be frostbit next weekend if the predicted snow flurries happen. Have a good weekend, all!

I support both of you. This injustice will not stand!

OT: Happy Marching Band Day!

(Also known to some as Infantry Deployment Day.)

Puck doesn’t need an apology – Puck deserves HAM! And plenty of it!

For a moment or two, I thought Lupin was saying, “We care!” in the last panel. Then I realized the C was actually OZ’s whiskers.

Those apologies don’t look very genuine to me.

Has a nice outing this afternoon. On the basis side, redbud, my favorite harbinger of spring, are starting to bloom, and it will break my heart if they get killed by the cold. I love that combination of the purple redbud flowers, white blossoms of anything but especially dogwood, and that beautiful fresh spring green. We also stopped into the local Indian spice store, where I was able to obtain some good chocolate—a Lion Bar, a Nestle Aero Bar, and some Cadbury’s—Crispy, Flake, and Twirl. I’ll be happy for a while…

OZ is on the right side. I often say to my wife, “It’s enough to make a guy [hiss or meow].”

Oh! They! Would! 8-O

Here’s an article I ran across today. Prepare for onion-cutting ninjas to show up.

It looks like Elvis has his mic back. I keep wondering if he’s ever going to chime in here.

Im with you, Zellie!

The Puckie monster is rearing it’s ugly head. And it’s bringing along a werewolf minion.

don’t make Puck mad! it’s the gentlest ones that hit the hardest when they need to!

2nd panel, perfectly expressive Pucky. Beautiful work, Georgia. May I call you Georgia?

You go, Puck! Goldie and Lupin screwed up and they should apologize. And good for Ora Zella for sticking up for Puck – what a brave, fierce little girl she is!

Cats actually do apologize. I’ve had two cats who when they thought they had bitten or scratched me too hard while playing would immediately start licking.
