Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 28, 2023

Lets face it, the plant now belongs to Iggy! At least Ora Z isn’t in on this. We all know she’d EAT EAT EAT the plant!

Plants are an Iggy magnet.

Insta-Iggy.

No, no, no! You don’t repot a Christmas cactus until after all the blooms have faded.

Happy Birthday Georgia Dunn! Congratulations on another successful, though slightly wobbly, orbit of the sun! May the next orbit be much smoother!

Happy Birthday, @GeorgiaDunn

OT: Reminder: Today is Giving Tuesday.

Let the good boy have nice things

Iggy looks so pleased with himself! How nice that the woman spruced up his bed for him.

If I will be reincarnated as an animal, I would choose to be a cat or dog with a rich owner (A/C is always on, unlimited food, comfy bed, anything a cat or dog could dream of). But of course, mostly, I want love and care as well.

Now is the time to make a big, soft bed of cat grass for Iggy, and a cage for the Christmas cactus.

This just in: Local little cat doesn’t listen to “no”

Persistent, isn’t he?

Better leaves plant to kitty. It his property now.

It was so sweet of her, to make Iggy a fresh flower bed!

This is why my Christmas cactus hangs from the ceiling. This morning, Shorty decided to lay under the tree and Beau wanted to join her. Maybe I should have hung the tree from the ceiling too…

This is like when I tidy up an area in the stacks at the library, and then I turn my back and it’s messy again.

What did she think was going to happen?

Happy Birthday Georgia Dunn From the Orb and Cass Elliot

There’s a new year starting

Wish the best from your orb friends

There’s a new year starting,

This one’s coming to an end

There’s a new beginning

We are with you all the way

And we are there for you

Through the cares of every day!

…….

There’s a new day dawning

Rising with a brand new sun

Yes a new year coming

Wish the best from everyone!

There’s a better year now

The one we’ve had visions of

Wishing you peace, wishing you joy!

Wishing You Love!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Library

Elvis-Anum: Thanks for the Tengwar scrolls, Mag-Lor. Here are the ones I’ve translated.

Mag-Lor: I am so glad our story will be heard and remembered through the ages.

Elvis: There’s much to be learned passing traditions along through the written and spoken word.

Beatrixia: For example, Thomios’ recipe for blueberry scones. And where to find blueberries.

Sometime Later

Thomios: Dinner’s ready! In honor of Mag-Lor, we have Perfect Perch with new potatoes.

Elvis: What makes them new?

Thomios: They just arrived from the Cosmos Nursery. With the help of Kara and Vann.

Elvis: Did the Royal Procurers have a part in this?

Thomios: Yes. But remember the first rule of procurement.

The Royal Procurers: Never take more than you can lift!

Happy Birthday Georgia! Have a great day.

A lady that he knew just came from her plant room

She smiled because he did not understand

Then she showed him some fancy cat beds ha-ha

She said they were the best in all the land

And she said:

No no no no, you can’t sleep here no more

I’m tired of sweeping dirt of the floor

No, thank you, please,

You keep squishing the leaves

And I just can’t repot it anymore

- David P. Jr. Jackson / Hoyt Wayne Axton – The No No Song – Ringo Starr

OFF TOPIC:

Happy Birthday Georgia! May the year ahead be better than the last.

Well, yes. How could he resist? A cat isn’t made of stone, you know.

WOMAN, buy some plant safe cat repellent spray. We have the technology. M-)

Happy Birthday to my favorite cat mama!

All in all, knowing the Woman’s history with plants, is Iggy likely to do any damage that wasn’t coming that plant’s way in the first place? Let him have his cozy bed. Removing him will do more damage than leaving him.

I gave up on having indoor plants, because cats.

She’ll never learn, will she?

Go, Iggy, GO!

I was given a pot of succulents for a present once. They were quickly eaten. Fortunately, the olive tree can keep up with her.

It’s difficult to get a cat off of something they want to be on. My cat has taken to sleeping on my pillow, and when I roll over in my sleep and wind up with a face full of cat butt, getting her to budge feels more like moving six and a half tons than six and a half pounds.

Georgia : I wish you the happiest of birthdays, including the hope your next year will be a better one. I/we know this past year has had its personal shakeups in your life—on this, your natal day, you can bid the upsets farewell, and look to happier times to come, with the clowder and the kids. So, in brief:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGIA DUNN!!!!

Hippo birdie two ewe.

Georgia, may your next year be filled with success and joy!

Last week there was a discussion about compression sox and sox for wide feet or legs. I ordered a set (two pair came in the set) and they arrived while we were gone. They have the grippies on the bottoms.

Well, that was a mistake. These are WAY too big for my size 10 feet. They’re for a guy wearing anything from a 10 to a 13. Obviously, they don’t stay on my feet and are tripping hazard.

I can’t send them back because I wore and washed one pair.

My question is: is there anyone out there in TC land who wants them? I will be happy to mail them out to you.

Happy Birthday, Georgia! Hope it’s filled with lots of joy and laughter.

May the joy you give us come back to you a hundredfold

Get a cactus next time!

Iggy seems to be acting out that rather dicey idiom "possession is 9/10 of the law”. If the Woman sues, he’ll definitely win in Cat Court.

Oh, come on, Woman! You pamper those cats so much already. Just get Iggy a plant of his own and maybe, just maybe, he’ll leave yours alone.

Happy Birthday Georgia! Enjoy your day!

Not exactly unexpected…

I think it may be time to accept that this plant belongs to Iggy now.

Happy Birthday, Georgia !

Cat Rules once again apply. This is the bed section of the cat furniture book.

Slightly different topic, will Swan Eaters make a return?

Happy Birthday Georgia!! Hope you have a blessed day!

I love Iggy’s fangs. He reminds me of Ash who’s nickname was Vampire, which lead to Vlad’s name.

Sounds like my cat.

I wonder if she uses wet on wet or wet on dry watercolor…

I love to see Iggy happy!

Miss Georgia, you are the cat’s meow!!! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Georgia. I hope your day has been filled with blessings.

OT: Georgia posted on facebook: “It’s my “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything” birthday today!! (Courtesy of the late Douglas Adams and ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’!) I’m finally 42!! Surely one of the kings of nerd-number years. (Only to be topped by Bilbo’s 111? ) I’m looking forward to a brand new year and treated myself to the loveliest, most ridiculous coat this morning. I’ve been telling everyone it’s genuine Muppet (please, don’t panic—it’s actually faux Muppet!) and I love it. Thank you so much for all of the kind messages and comments on @gocomics and the BCN socials wishing me a happy birthday today! I read them all on GoComics this afternoon and they made me very happy! Here’s to 42!!!”

♪Ohhhhh, the cat came back. He didn’t stay away.

He was there in the pot the very next… moment.

The cat came back! He didn’t want to roam.

When the Woman turned her back, he was Home Sweet Home!♪
