Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 25, 2024

Lupin’s tail is using fuzzy logic to determine that he doesn’t like the guest…

Next on BCN: See the People Foster FAIL !

Ah, the 2019 introduction of Goldie. (was it really that long ago?)

Obveeously it a steenky invader from outer space. Just what them alien astronut theorists was always suspected.

BCN: – Enter the Goldie.

Classic behavior from the boys. Puck is often the welcome wagon.

I forgot the guests.

I love his suspenders. Very Mary Tyler Moore-ish.

So many BoCH! [that’s Back of Cat Head, for newer readers]

Many people try to be perfect and clean their houses when guests come to their house.

Is the guest going to understand the concept of sharing a turkey?

Of course she wants to be best friends XXX

I see that Lupin disliked her from the start, even before she swiped – er, I mean borrowed – his tape recorder!

Holiday week ritual

Mac is home from Butler University and went with me to Costco. It’s an experience to go through Costco with a walking stomach that can’t be filled.

“Oh, look. Orange Juice. Can I have orange juice?” the stomach asks.

“Yes, you can have orange juice,” the weary father responds.

“Hey, look at that bag of chicken nuggets…”

“Get the nuggets,” I say. Then I say yes to pizzas, cheese sticks, Propel water, Cheez-It crackers…on and on until I forget why we came to the store in the first place. He has succeeded in wearing me down.

At the checkout, the father is conflicted between his happiness that the child is home and his wish that Butler University was still feeding him. The bill arrives: $378.21. The clerk responds with a knowing smile, seeing the 6’1” stomach with the 1% body fat. The father removes his abused credit card and swipes it. Oh, well. He’s my son, and I love him. Once back at home, the father holds his Manhattan in his shaking hand and stares into space as his wife of 32 years cheerfully says, “Alexandria will be home on Tuesday!”

Ah, it’s Goldie behind that door. No wonder Lupin looks so upset.

Puck wants to be friendly but Lupin is a born warrior!

This is literally the way I remember to take my top rack out. Thanks, Georgia, for saving my Thanksgiving every year!

Ah, the good old days, back when she was still married.

My cats are mad at me. During the night, they scattered my reusable shopping bags all over the apartment, upended my computer chair (not an easy feat, that sucker is HEAVY!) and shoved my laptop to the other side of my table/desk. I told them they were a bunch of twerps as I picked up the mess, and now they are scolding me with enthusiasm, conviction and extreme prejudice!

It seems that Thanksgiving week is a time for new cats. I was looking for the year with the GoComics meltdown, 2022, the other day and the Monday strip that year had Iggy and Ora Zella in the room.

Puck is a real sweetheart. I would totally be his best friend.

To all those missing a loved one this time of year, my heart goes out to you. It gets a tiny bit easier with each passing year.

Christina Aguilera may be Beautiful, but Lupin is…

Every day is so beautiful, then suddenly

They steal my mic.

Now and then all the cats and mice

Can be a pain,

Should be ashamed.

…….

I am in a snit

And that is how I’ll stay,

I’ll stay here and frown!

I am in a snit

In every single way

I won’t come around!

Don’t you bother me

Today!

Hmm… I don’t know about this.

Isn’t News after CN redundant?

Sis: So is there a new cat at your house or is this a rerun?

This was when they got Goldie isn’t it

OT

Many years ago, I found my four cats staring at a cabinet door near the floor. I opened it up to see another cat disappear into the darkness. The cheapskate contractor who built the apartment building did not put in a divider between my cabinet space and the adjacent apartment’s cabinet space. I had to move the kibble.
