Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 08, 2014

Elvis puffs-up pretty impressively.

Our Midget Calico Mama Taffy once ate a huge moth right out of the air on her way inside the front door one night this past summer.With it’s wings, it was larger than her head. She barely slowed down as she chewed it up.

what’s wrong with cats going outside?

My cat catches flies and moths in mid-air and eats them.

TOMMY!!!! My fave visitor to the BCN team!

Dude, get a life, most cats are outside cats. I have no idea what planet you are from, but if you think all cats should just be indoor cats, then there’s really something wrong with you.

BK-Outside cats are the reason for the pet over-population problem. Go into any shelter and know that most of the cats will not get homes. I have volunteered and held perfect, beautiful kittens in their last moments before euthanasia. Is there a name for what’s wrong with you?

calm down and play nice! That’s what I tell the kitties who come and eat at my house. They are both fixed and terrorize through the window my mostly inside kitty.Be nice to each other.

What a silly argument 1, cats are nocturnal by nature, most predators that eat them are the same. we keep them in at night. 2 over population is caused by people who don’t fix their pets, and or abandon them, we get a lot of that round here. 3. no need to be over protective just like a child they need to grow, we let ours out as kittens under supervision,until they are grown and let the older ones teach the younger ones. They too learn by observation, and just like kids they make mistakes, that what vets are for.

I love this comic! The reactions to the moth, Elvis in full fluff, Tommy (the controversial) adding outdoor perspective, it’s all very funny.

We let our cats out all the time – of course we have a 6’ PVC privacy fence, and are typically out there with them. Never lost one yet…

My cats (does that phrase make sense?) Fido (pictured) and O’Malley are both indoor cats. They have a nice morning chase, do some other kitty crazies, then fit a place for a bath well before dawn. Such a life.

Just found this strip today and have read back through them all. Absolutely LOVE it!!!

BurkeKnight , Agree but I’ll add the problem also is people who so casually abandon their cats usually when they move away. Both my cats were strays whom I started feeding and they slowly came to trust me. I keep them in as much as possible especially at night, but having been outdoor cats, they want to also be outdoors a lot. I will add that if you can’t care for a pet, don’t abandon it; give it to the Humane Society where it has a chance of adoption or at least of fed and sheltered for its final days. I’d rather a cat be euthanized than starve or be eaten by coyotes, etc.

Ours is inside only. He has a 3-story cat house to roam in (he leis us live here too) and plenty of places to climb and places to look out, open windows when the weather’s good. Too much traffic and too many neighbors who let their large dogs roam to let him out.

I do read this one aloud to my husband, & sometimes his friends, they fall out laughing. A bunch of great big men and they LOVE this comic. For the record, my rescued older formerly feral kitty would go nuts if we didn’t let him live mostly outside. Even with weather in the 40’s he’s out more than in. He doesn’t like to use a litter box (emergency only!) and mostly stays within the yard or on the deck. His motto is live and let live, & he’s very grateful to be living here. I think he makes a lot of sense.

Oh, and this is fun, keeping in the vein of kitties doing people work; look it up! Cheryl does a couple of other cat songs that I just love: White cat and My cat’s birthday. Good stuff! You’re welcome!

Cat Accountant Words And Music By Cheryl Wheeler

My cat accountant taps his furry headHis visor’s green and all my numbers are redHis little lamp is burning all the timeand what is his used to be mine

His calculating is so round aboutEinstein and Hawking couldn’t figure it outBill Gates and Midas wouldn’t make a dimewith my CPA feline

If you saw him on the street you’d never guessWhat those pencils in his pocket sleeve are forHe may look soft and sweet but now hear thisHe’s a ruthless little cat entrepreneurBottom line and business to the core

He zips through my room in his racing carHe dips his beetles into caviarHe has his snowboards jetted in from FranceAnd he busts a sag in Baggy black leather pants

If you’re staying in a really nice hotelAnd a white cat takes the table next to youYou will find his dining charges on your billWith his room and tax and transportation tooAnd there will not be a thing that you can do

He is a tiger at the driving rangeHe keeps a locker at the stock exchangeEven his cell phone has a diamond ringand all day long I hear it singCa-ching ca-chingCa-ching ca-chingCa-ching ca-ching ca-ching

Lion kitty!

Lupin: There’s a moth outside the window. Elvis, can you confirm?

Elvis: It’s right here Lupin and it won’t go away.

Lupin: Here’s Puck to tell us more about moths.

Puck: Moths are a creepy abomination attracted to light.

Elvis: IT’S GONE!!

Elvis: !

Tommy: I ate it.

Tommy: Glad to help you out there, brother!

Elvis: GET OUT OF OUR YARD!!

my mom is afraid of moths

Moths deserve a second chance!!!!!
