Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for June 12, 2024

I very seldom am carrying any spare shrimp on me, guys. It’s better to take credit cards.

Yesterday Queen of America mentioned her two, new charges.

Here is some more of the “back story” info from QoA:

“They came from a hoarder house.  The ladies were willing to surrender the kittens because they said both were wild (they are NOT) and the black one is blind (she is not).

Both kittens like to be held and cuddled.  The tiny black one follows me around.  She’s mouthy, too.  When she cries, the other one runs to see if she’s OK.  She always is :: she just wants attention.

The grey one sleeps a lot and I figure it’s because she’s finally away from two dozen other cats and can get some sleep!  Both are clean and healthy.

I weighed them this morning.  Blackie is 12 oz, which is more than I thought it would be.  Grayson is 1.10 lbs, which is pretty normal.

Most of the Thanks should be directed toward Susan.  The authorities here won’t do anything about this kind of situation (the hoarding).  Susan has been working with these two women for about 10 years and has about had it with them.  The only thing is, if she gives up, that leaves the poor kitties and kittens at risk.  Rock, meet hard place."

.

It is sad in a way, Barbara.  Yes, the back story is dark, but, now, there is light ahead for these two wee ones, thanks to you, Barbara, and to Susan.

I hope daleandkristen has some good news to tell ♡

I don’t have any shrimp, guys, but I have some cans of tuna. And some of chicken too and one can of salmon. What’ll it be, boys?

Today is:

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY

NATIONAL LOVING DAY

NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY

NATIONAL JERKY DAY

NATIONAL SUPERMAN DAY

How long can they hold their breath?

They are going to miss the warehouse when someone decides to take them home. Poor Annie!!!

Picked up my car yesterday, paid the remainder of the $3200 bill, and promptly headed to the mountains for a lovely walk along a creek and lush meadow then up past some beautiful cascades. Perfect weather, no mosquitos yet. Only saw 2 other people, it’s one of those trails only locals use. Grocery shopped for the first time in 2 weeks and only spent $100 in our high priced rural stores. Car is parked overnight with a string of white lights and 2 sonic devices with pulsing strobe lights under the hood to deter more mice.

So, puppy dog eyes make kitties cuter.

This is hilarious, GH!

Ooh, so cute! Smart cookies, aren’t they?

Aww, how precious! I could use a pair of those.

Don’t miss PICKLES today!!!!!!!!! Earl = The Loading Dock again. I really needed that.

I must admit -those big eyes are cute!!

Peanut Butter cookies! Yum!

Give them to the woman who stole BCN’s Sophie!

Regarding Jack’s question in the second panel…their reputation precedes them

Not fair. That’s cheating!

FREE ELDO!

Cute? Yes, definitely. Sweet? Probably not so much. These people obviously aren’t very familiar with Jack and Chesney if they think they’re sweet. On another note, saw a chickadee, a sparrow, four robins, two Wilson’s warblers, two spotted towhees, a junco, and a Western tanager while out walking today.

No. They are not sweet. Oliver is sweet, but he isn’t present.
