Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 07, 2018

Oh, Elvis. You’ve gone and done it now. Open mouth, insert all 4 paws!

OMC- That look in the last panel… ROFLMFAO!!

Poor Pucky. Caught in the middle. What to do?!?!

Uh-oh. Looks like Puck has to play peacekeeper!

Lupin is Not Amused.

No good deed goes unpunished, eh, Puck?

Angry toe beans!

Vampire Puck! Lock up your potato salad before it’s too late!

Yeah, you really shouldn’t have gone there, Elvis. Now look what you’ve done. You’ve made Puck very uncomfortable!

I think now is a good time to go to a station break.

Shaunn, how old is Dusty?

I have the exact same face as Puck whenever someone brings up politics at a family function. This will not e d well.

The look on Lupin’s face in panel 2 is precious!

Lupin is inferring things that are not implied. He needs some logic lessons.Elvis just said it could have been someone who groomed him, not that it was someone who groomed him. Pointing out a logical possibility is not tantamount to assigning blame.

Oooo the handbags are out, those are some angry kitties – except for Puck, he’s just anguished at the conflict between Elvis and Lupin … sorry, just realised I’ve probably confused most of the Americans here – been watching too much footy lately. The handbags phrase is used by British commentators to describe the conflicts between players when they get a bit physical :)

Now Megan was intrigued. Tre-C didn’t know “Where it went”? Did she leave something in L.A., or did it leave her? Clearly this needed to be pursued, but Rusty- who was born to serve- brought them their drinks. “Where’s the ‘Old Tom’ tonight, Rusty?”, she asked. “Oh, you know… he told me he was taking the night off to visit a sick friend.” Megan chuckled. “You know, there’s a fix for that.” Rusty squeezed his hind legs together and with a shudder howled; "MEGAN! You know we don’t joke about the “F” word". They had a good laugh, and Rusty dropped his tail and slinked off to make his rounds. “Ever try one of these?” Megan asked Tre-C. “No… what was it you called it?” “Buttermilk Surprise” Tre-C cocked her head and cooed; “Oh, I don’t think so. Too yellow, too big a glass.” Now it was Megan’s turn to wear the mythic grin; "Go on try it” she said, and pushed the glass closer to Tre-C. Tre-C shrugged, then leaned over it. She was just about in the center with her tongue out when Megan flicked the side hard enough to make it chime, and in doing so a June bug flew out and almost hit Tre-C in the nose. Reflexively, she grabbed it with both paws and devoured it gleefully. “Surprise!” shouted Megan.

Puck looks like he is being thrown under the bus. I hope Lupin can get an admission from Elvis to ease Puck’s mind.

OMC, the expressions…Lupin in 2, Puck in 4…with just a few pen strokes! Oh the drama!

I never thought about the colour, just know hey have to be cleaned up quick!!!

Puck: This is not going to end well..

those are some “not happy” ears the boys are showing in every panel!

Is puck feeling guilty? Is HE the hairballer?

Puck looks like someone figured out his dirty little hairball secret. That’s the expression of guilt!

Okay, so I do a weird thing whenever I like a show, or game, or comic. I make a playlist for it. I assign each character or faction a song. Usually rock, pop, or metal. Here’s what I have for the BCN cats we’ve got in the dailies, and why I pick them. Tell me what you think of them, and if you have any suggestions.

Lupin-“Cry Thunder” by Dragonforce. You need an epic adventury song for Lupin, and I think it works well in that regard.

Puck-“What I Like About You” by The Ramones. No idea why, just plays in my head automatically when Pucky is being adorable.

Elvis-“Flip City” by Glenn Frey. Because it captures the catlike paranoia that Elvis has going on about the entire world.

Tommy-“Happy” by Pharell. Come on… Just come on.

Sir Figaro Newton-“Clint Eastwood” by Gorillaz. Again, no idea why. I guess it feels like the right… Tempo? If that makes sense? I dunno.

Tabitha-“So What?” by P!nk. I know it’s a break up song, but it is just so much the right, no-nonsense attitude that we all love about Tabitha.

Comments? Suggestions?

Good morning and a happy Caturday to all orbsters and orbabies! As I said above, I have the feeling that Puck is the guilty upchucker. Lupin has a nice poofy tail as he reads the riot act to Elvis!

Somecatty is gonna have a hissy fit :)

…oops…

when they fight, they fight

Dear Mega Orb, Dusty never moved from under the bed. Spent over 12 hours there. We gently moved the bed & he sat up & just looked at us. I gave him his Prednisone & he went straight for the sliding door. I think he wants to just find a quiet hidey hole. Couldn’t let him outside.

Would not eat. We let him in garage, where he has a bed, food, water & potty box. He used the box & want straight to bed. Will leave him in peace unless he signals anything else. If he’s still with us this evening I’ll dose him again.

Being the weekend, we can take him to the vet, but the cost is going to be hard on us. Hubby must make the decision, as he’s the only breadwinner.

Please, please keep lifting up Dusty! Lift up Hubby, who said he’d never have another kitty if we lose Dusty at such a young age. I know this man. He means it. He’s not dealing with this well.

Oh, dear friends!!!!!! I feel so helpless!!!!! Dusty isn’t even three years old.

Love, Shaunn

>^.,.^<

I’m sure it was Pucky upchucking the potato salad escapade with a big hairball assist.

Boop boop boop bap bap bap!

You can almost hear the claws tapping on the desk in panel 2 as Lupin drums his toes.

Oooooooo … Elvis you have stepped in it again!

For those who were asking about my rugs yesterday, they’re Skyhawk Rugs in Wyoming. We got them at Cowboy Christmas in Las Vegas and they’re shipped to us, free of charge.

Is it possible that Puck is the source of the hairball?

Elvis does have a point. If he was groomed by Lupin and Puck, they would have his fur in their stomachs, as Elvis would have their fur in his stomach if he’s been grooming them too. The last panel tells me that Puck might be the culprit.

Folks, as one who has been owned by cats of many colors, I can assure you that even if they groom each other, they groom themselves more. The preponderance of gut-fur will be from the horker. Vast experience has taught me this . . .

Nobody seemed to mind when Elvis was being accused of the hairball. Just sayin’. Yep, I think Puck knows he did it.

Poor Puck, he knows somehow he is part of the travesty. And Lupin’s tail isn’t going to take any guff from Elvis. They probably will roll around and then take a nap together.

And so it begins———

Once the fur’s off the cat it’s all the same colour.
