Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 23, 2024

So Toast is, in some way, bread hairballs? I’d prefer literally any other explanation Goldie!

…and humans and tossing cookies…

@azkfwecho (& I think 2 or 3 others) you called it!

I definitely picked the wrong time to start eating my late night snack.

EWWWWWW!

But it’s not 4 AM (Hairball o’clock)! Someone get that toaster to some carpet.

Hmm. Goldie seems pretty good a forging Georgia’s signature, too. Hopefully, Georgia is closely monitoring for identity theft!

Lupin’s thinking of competing with the toaster now, isn’t he..?

I do love the cleaver ways Georgia signs her work.

Toast… is toaster hairballs??‽

I think I just lost my appetite.

Possibly permanently.

;-)

To explain the “too” in my above post, first Puck and now Goldie have learned to forge Georgia’s signature. Luckily, they are probably the two most trustworthy of the local cats, but I suggest that Georgia keep her credit cards safely locked up!

(Puck was seen forging her signature 2020/10/29)

How clever of Goldie to figure this out.

Is Goldie trying to deny that hairballs are intentional?

We would love our kitty to do her hairballs on the tile and not on the carpet. She always does them on the carpet and for some reason, I suspect she picks her place intentionally. Hairballs would be so much easier to clean up off of tile.

Hairballs are from eating bread?? I don’t think so.

Bad timing. I had to take a Zofran a little bit ago. Sigh.

There you go, Goldie, you’ve gotta make it relatable to your audience. Now the kitties get it.

Toast doesn’t come out mushy. (Ewwwww…)

So toast is an electronic hairball? Got it!

I started playing “Raft” Today, it’s actually really fun.

Since the cats speak English this makes no sense. Was the word toaster not taught in vocabulary class?

Love the frowning face on the hairball.

The right analogy makes all the difference.

I was hoping they would have threatened the toast. “Oh, you are toast, buster brown !”

Oh dear, the things that go on in the kitties’ minds!!!

Hairballs are NOT intentional? I’m not buying it.

Off-Topic

Maybe this toaster is just a cousin of Talkie Toaster. It’s Horkie Toaster? Would you like some horked toasted?

it’s science!

Electronic, HORK HORK HORK, BING, POP!

I don’t know. A hairball with Irish butter and English marmalade doesn’t sound as good as toast.

Hmmm. On a completely different topic, have you Ever noticed that Roombas seem to watch you when you walk into a room?

Not sure I like the comparison to hairballs! I may never make toast again :)

I won’t be spreading butter or jam on a hairball anytime soon!

Beautiful handwriting and excellent explanation! An all-around win for Goldie.

EEEEEEWWWW!!!

Yike! I just made toast. Can I bring myself to eat it?

Goldie you are brilliant!!!

Suddenly, I have no appetite. I may never eat toast again.

Such a simple explanation, made in cat logic.

…I think I’ll have cereal this morning….

I will never look at toast the same way again.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Stable

Violet-Ifa: Thanks for giving Beatrixia and me a lift to Floofnet’s Culinary School, Emma.

Emma-Peelia: No problem. I’m glad to do it.

Bea: Where’s Diana?

Emma: She’s at riding camp with Lupinium. I’m sure she’ll get into all kinds of mischief. And Avenger is with Puckmosis at the Afar Library and Café.

Vi: Alright. Let’s go.

At the Floofnet Culinary School

Floofnet the Joyous: Welcome, ladies! I understand there’s going to be a huge s’mores party.

Vi: Yes. We’ve come for your expertise. And of course you’re invited.

Floof: Wonderful! I’d like to visit with my nephew for a bit.

Bea: Thomios would love that.

Floof: I have some recipes for uh…condiments that would pair nicely with chocolate. There’s sea salt, cayenne, cinnamon. You name it.

Vi: Sounds like a visit to Amon-Merchant and Azibo’s Spice Plural shop is in order. We can stop on the way back.

Floof: We can go right after dinner. How about some ham with bacon? And oats and carrots for Emma.

All: Sounds like a plan!

To those who need a refresher, Noble Steed Avenger and Emma-Peelia are a married horse couple. They have a daughter, filly Diana.

Okay, okay, we get it, you’re now fascinated by the toaster and what it does. As Bart would say, "To speak the plain truth, it’s getting pretty d@mn dull around here. What this story line needs is ………………………………………

TUSSLEMANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg that’s hilarious!!! Brilliant and relatable analogy.

The HAIRBALL diagram is accurate!!!! Many of us can attest to that. UGH

OT: Late-Breaking Broken H00min News, & what fresh H-E-double-hockey-sticks is this… (updated from yesterday ICYMI)

And NOW it connects…

Yeah so they are going to have a truce with the toaster it seems, like with the vacuum!

OT: Update on Jojo

Huh, I never thought of it that way. Where’s a barf bag when you need one?

Food for thought !

I will never look at toast the same way again

Our current cat is 3. She has produced only one hairball. We take no credit for this. We think it may be due to her being a cat, a species with no normal members. She eats plenty of fur. We catch her mining the floor and furniture for it all the time.

Tout comprendre, tout pardonner.

OHH!

I certainly understand everyone’s revulsion on this week’s comparative study of toast versus hairballs. Personally, I do not feel such a revulsion because I gave up on toast long ago. Why? Because Elvis’s conclusion earlier this week that toasters are jerks is quite correct. Whenever I tried to make toast it always seemed to come out either burnt or still just bread.

Personally, I’ve been making my toast in the senior resident’s toaster oven and I’m going to take it with me when I leave. It’s been fabulous. All I have to do is figure out how to clean the inside of the door. Oven toast is great anyway. When it’s half done, take it out, butter it and put it back in.
