Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 25, 2020

I can’t load it, is it loading for anyone else?

A happy ending! Loving the big smile on Lupin.

And what a clever, poetic puchline :)

“He has become a God.” ”SNORT!” (Any “I, Claudius” fans out there?) :-)

Short N Stout looks more beautiful than ever!

Tell Pucky he’d feel right at home over at “Overboard” today:

Owl be there for you.

A Roo there for me too?

Being upgraded to a thing of beauty is the very best vase retirement! :)

A very happy outcome for Lupin and Short’Stout! Goldie, take a bow, you cleared Lupin, had the boy come clean and be forgiven. Short’Stout, rejoice for you are a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

And so nice to see everyone happy

We shall owlvase cherish this moment.

And so, they’re owl happy again.

I used to have an owl collection.

When is a vase not a vase? After local Cats (and boys) have visited…

Speaking of glassware and Cats my mother picked up some new wine glasses at her local Charity shop this last weekend. She’d been looking for a little while. But we only went in because that’s the haunt of Doris, the Caldicot town centre Cat. She’s the best salescat the shop has as so many go in to see her. (She also wanders the town centre most hours of the day and evening.)

C’mon, fix it! I’ve only just discovered BCN (and been back to the beginning and caught up), missing my daily dose.

Here is a link I found that works:

It will not load for me either. Frustrating!!!

I do hope Lupin got some apologies after all that!

…like a real owl.

The Peanut Butter Phantom

Elvis: What has happened?

The chandelier has crashed to the floor!

Did anyone see how it happened, oh no!

What do we do now?

Do now?

Glass is scattered everywhere!

We have to clean up!

Could this be a portent of our doom?

Glass we have to clean up now!

We need a vacuum!

At least will someone fetch a broom?

And now we must decide what we must do

A disaster all too true!

And still the show must go on tonight!

Puck: Glass we need to clean up now!

And fix the problem!

We cannot panic, we need to keep our cool!

And clean up the glass that’s scattered everywhere!

Tommy: Could this really be the work of The Peanut Butter Phantom?

Unseen Voice: Don’t blame us!

Enter Beatrix

Elvis: Bea, what happened?

Bea: Well, I was seeing if I could climb up to the chandelier, and I kinda was swinging on it.

Puck: You could have been seriously hurt! But at least you’re alright.

Enter Burt and Trevor

Pucky toe beans!

So the little ♥ above Short N Stout, is it because he’s reunited with his owl vase family or is he possibly in love with the cute little vase beside him?

But is Lupin going to get his hat back?

It’s just white. :(

“upgraded to a thing of beauty” LOVE IT !!

Owl’s well that ends well?

Love the Keats reference.

Oh, this is really wonderful.

Georgia’s coffee mug collection also includes at least a couple of owls:

Burt’s chyron today isn’t his usual snark.

I love Elvis resting a paw on Lupin’s (vindicated) shoulder.

Yes, Short’n’Stout and the little owl vessel have a “thing” (breakable objects hate the word “fling”). But let’s vase it, they are a cute couple.

And she sings:

Watching every motion

In Boy’s foolish “hold me” game

On this scary ordeal

Finally Boy took the blame

Healing and returning

To your shelf’s place beside me

Watching in slow motion

As you turn around and say

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting

Still anticipating love

Never hesitating to become the fated ones

Turning and returning

To your shelf’s place on high

Watching in slow motion

As you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

From my high perch I saw you

I watched you slip away

When you fell & crashed I called you

And turned to hear you say

If only for today

I am unafraid

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

(Giorgio Moroder / Tom Whitlock)

All is well with BCN today!

OT: Dilemma

Paint him green and call him Duo.

“Blue stick” putty or equivalent is a great thing to stabilize the bases of items that cats might brush against. It won’t stand up to a deliberate shove but reduces accidents.

I love this strip!!!Always a happy ending!

Owls are my favourite raptors.

Yay!

Keats would be proud!

One of my Wife’s many Aunts had a very impressive Owl collection. Owls of every shape style and concept. Including lamps.

Now he’s real.

Today is:

National Park Service Founders Day —There’s a question here as to whether we should honor President Woodrow Wilson or President Theodore Roosevelt for this. Frankly, why not both? See below.

National Whiskey Sour Day —Here’s a toast to the above named Presidents, and the National Parks! Those of you who do not drink alcohol, see below.

National Banana Split Day —Celebrate all three days with a banana split! Matter of fact, a banana split (chocolate of course) with a whiskey sour on the side sounds like a good combination.

(I’ve always felt a little sorry for the banana …)

I wonder if ShortN’Stout is a member of the Bohemian Club here in San Francisco? I sort of knew a member, a rather interesting fellow, who attended Mass at my Church (High Church, AngloCatholic Episcopalian). The first time I met him, I recognized his lapel pin. He was a friend of the priest, and close friend, I serve with on Thursday (when we are not in the middle of a pandemic). He gave him several rather interesting pieces, including some beautiful illuminated manuscripts, and a cope that belonged to the infamous Bishop Pike. I have interesting friends. The priest, who is from England, introduced me to Doctor Who. His father was an actor with the BBC and took him to see the original TARDIS in 1963. My friend went on to study at Oxford, with Roger Penrose (who worked with Stephen Hawking). Through him, I have some incredible close degrees of separation from some fascinating people.

The Velveteen Short and Stout (weird mash-up, I know)

hey guys! I haven’t been on since January, can someone catch me up?

“Euclid alone…”

OT The Egg and I—some of us were talking about this the other day, just wanted to note that the movie will be on Turner Classics Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time if anyone is interested in watching.

yaaay owl vase

Happiness all around! It’s always a good day when Elvis is smiling!

OT: Shanti at the Bridge

Well, depends on the function intended to be caried out. If the function is to either hold a smaller bud vase or artifical flowers, Short and Stout is still functional. If the function is to hold water…. Well from what Puck’s saying, the Woman’s repair job probably won’t let Short and Stout hold water.

The Woman did an amazing job of repairing Short and Stout! He looks better than ever!!!

OT: School

I use a putty called Sugru for things like broken owls, you can make any colour and it’s waterproof. It’s pretty good.
