Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 12, 2025

Snacks and cozies! And there’s some stuff on the TV, I guess.

The coin toss is always high drama. Will it be Heads? Tails? Or the very rare other bits?

Sunday Funday

The Kansa City Boyfriends. Anyone else get that reference?

Just like them, I have no real knowledge of what’s going on.

Washington Seagulls? I happily know nothing of football — nor do I ever want to know anything of football — but I gather that is not a team??

That said, if the Detroit Lions actually get to the Snackie Bowl for the first time in roughly 13.7 billions years, I might actually want to hear if they win or not.

I just hope the Pawmark Channel, or another one, has the Kitten Bowl again this year. We love watching flying kittens leaping all over the screen!

They’re cats. Why aren’t they rooting for the Cincinnati Bengals?

The kitty halftime show is shorter each year. We’re getting ripped off. Add the lack of the Kitten Bowl again, and we cat people are shortchanged.

O.T. – still missing

Ha. That ain’t no football. That a rugby. Footballs is round, spherical that is, and hit with foots (and sometimes heads) and no touch or hold with hands (except for goalkeeper and placing ball to be kick). Because it foot ball see. Duh. Rugby is catch in hand and running away. Whole world is knows this except for a few countrys. That ain’t no ball in the first place. Just looks at it. Balls is spherical in shape and rolls on ground with ease. That is what a ball is by definition. But what kinda steenky shape is this theeng? Some sorta big fat chubby almond? It ain’t no ball in the first place. Football me bear foots!

emiesty2 was shocked 2 days ago

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

Geez, Louise, stop using ALL CAPS. Palisades is a very wealthy area, and has a disproportionate number of celebrities. Mark was simply asking for information; he never implied that regular folk were unimportant.

Sorry for the outburst, Auntie em. I sometimes get the feeling that we care more how celebrities fare while the rest of us don’t count. Got nothin’ against Mark, just that I popped my cork.

OT Declawing Bans in US

I love Puck’s heart shaped shades and boa in the second panel and his t-shirt that says “Who?” I wonder if he got it from Threadless or if it just appeared in the magic BCN wardrobe.

My favourite sport to watch was always golf; easy to nap through and no people-in-the-stands-wall-of-noise.♥

Elvis in panel 4 looks a good bit confused.

What’s happened to the Man?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Tabith-Isis: We’re gathered at the Pretty Good Pyramid’s Outdoor Stadium to watch the Lawn Potato playoffs between the Spuds from Afar and the Bangers and Mash from Away. With me to announce the game is Serfig-Aro. Figs, what can we expect from today’s game?

Serfig-Aro: The Bangers and Mash have a super tunneler in Digger Minecraft, while the Spud defense is considered second to none. But the real star of the game is Packer Chipmunk.

Tabs: Yes, Packer is the brother of Construction Team’s own Iron Glove. I understand he recently completed Floofnet’s graduate course on Culinary Sports. What can we look forward to from Packer’s team?

Figs: Well, as you know, there will be an excellent charcuterie board available.

Tabs: Yes. The Royal Procurers have recently returned from a cheese excursion From Where We Know Not. I also know Thomios and crew have been extra busy making kibble crackers.

Figs: And let’s not forget the sweets from the Xanadu Hive Bees.

Tabs: Definitely an exciting meal and game. Looks like we’re ready to get started.

I love how Puck can pull off the feather-boa-and-heart-shaped-sunglasses look. Whenever he dresses like that, I hear him speaking with the voice of Jesse Ventura.

“Followed by a long nap in the second” Sooooo True!!!!

When Lupin asks about the “Snackie Bowl,” is he referring to the “Super Bowl?” Which come to think of it has become more about the commercials, halftime show, and food than the actual game!

I am looking forward to the Snackie-bowl, although I am a bit uncertain how I feel about the Kansas City Boyfriends this year. Maybe I’d prefer the New York Williams or the Houston Texas People. I wonder how the cats would rate the respective deliciousness of every team in the field, particularly the two bird mascots.

Animal Planet TV is having a Puppy Bowl in February. I don’t remember what date.

Wait…‘boyfriends’? We miss so much of this on the OTHER parts of the state.

I’m with Elvis—what’s a football? :P

OT: SoCal (& Snowmageddon) check-in

How’s everyone doing today? Stay safe!

As a total non-sports person, I want one of Puck’s Who? shirts.

Will the Seagulls ever meet the Superb Owl?

Well, the cats, at least most of them, and the Woman and Girl are all purportedly Swifties so that name makes sense. I might even tune in to watch the Snackie-Bowl. Maybe.

Elvis’s comment “What’s a football?” Confirms that cats exist on a higher plane of intelligence. As I grow older, I realize that carving out 4 hours of my life to watch a game is a colossal waste of time, regardless of who wins. I like the idea of turning the second half into nap time.

Long naps are a must for every tedious sports game.

I finally got Good as Goldie from the library! Didn’t get a chance to dig in yesterday but will today.

OT:

DH is doing okay with his diabetic foot complications. The wound is very slow to heal. He is mobile but slow using a rolling walker and doesn’t try to walk too much. Unfortunately, his security work doesn’t have many assignments that can be done from a vehicle so he isn’t working much. We applied for a state disability insurance claim and it’s complicated because he does work a few days here and there. Anyway, we’re hanging in. Our 21-year-old son is still job hunting (argh, even McDonalds and Walmart haven’t hired him!) and ready for his next semester in community college—pushing him toward adulthood has been like pulling teeth! He’s a good kid though and he cooks for us a lot which is a bonus.

Happy Sunday!

American Football, which is not to be confused with soccer (real football), which actually uses the foot. The gambling industry and snack and beer companies underwrite American football. They try to zombiefy Americans (mostly couch potato men) from August until January; in this effort, they are mostly successful.

Rugby can be as violent as American football, and the injuries can be similar; the predominant rugby injury involves having one’s ear, nose, or face ripped off in the scrum. However, unlike American football, Rugby teams eat their wounded and dead, so there is very little waste.

Soccer has its share of injuries, including strains and fractures (foot, wrist, clavicle). However, an interesting point is that women’s soccer has a higher rate of injury than men’s soccer. A recent study concluded that them girls be crazy.

Finally, golf is not without its own body count. However, since nobody but middle-aged white men actually watch the sport, this statistic cannot be verified.

Thanks Georgia for the creative re-names for two teams with current and former offensive mascots!

I own a baseball shirt that has the name Who with a number one on the back. Anyone who gets this reference is officially old.

OT:

When there was a Kitten Bowl we made Pigs in a Blanket using grocery store crescent roll dough and called them Kitten Tails. We miss the Kitten Bowl, in spite of the awful play by play.

OT:Yummies

I like that game= esp the napping part!

OT:Kitten/Rescue Bowl 2025. For those of you interested, and who don’t already know…. The Great American Rescue Bowl, offshoot of the Kitten Bowl, will be on the Great American Family Channel on February 9th Noon Eastern time in the states. It have both puppies and kittens. The kittens are from the same rescue organization that was behind the Kitten Bowl. So there will be kittens on Snackie Bowl day. And Puppy Bowl is on as well on it’s usual channel. I hope all of you who want to see it have this channel. Gracie and I will be watching. Sara has no interest in the big screen thingy.

Just exactly when is the Stupor Bowl?
