Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 23, 2022

…I think this may be the first time we’ve seen a Sharpie/permanent marker used for the text.

Can Elvis be anymore sarcastic? I Don’t Think So!!

Elvis hind foot toe beans! Very disgruntled toe beans at that!

What won’t Elvis do for his loved ones?Really love the boy’s discomfort. Well portrayed.

I thought Elvis was the protector of small children.

Now, now, Elvis. No need to be sarky.

OK. Yes, it’s justified.

Snarky Elvis!

The snark is fierce with this one.

The Woman wouldn’t blame Elvis, would she?

Judging from the look on the Boy’s face,he was about ready to go grab his parents himself. Probably with all the indignation a child who’s grown up around Elvis can manage.

And I LOVE Elvis letting himself be manhandled by the Girl and used as a calming plushie.

Question – IRL, is Elvis a typical vocal Siamese? I don’t remember it being addressed, and don’t see it in “meet the reporters.” Has Georgia said, or should we presume he’s a typical Siamese? We live with 2 very quiet, good boys, and I sometimes wish they would speak up instead of jumping in front of the computer when they want out!

OT: we have 2 new baby Boer goats as of Monday afternoon. It’s so cold in E WA that they are in the house with us for a couple nights.

The Boy seems to be channeling me. I’m pretty sure that’s how I look when I can’t sleep.

Elvis, if you can talk you’re not being strangled too badly.

Geez, Pengo even looks angry in panel 3!

I just LOVE Elvis

I think nothing more than a flat sprint would satisfy Elvis.

Katrina and the Waves: Walking on Sunshine

I thought it was time to be asleep, now I’m not so sure

How long will it take the Woman to walk through the door?!

Now we’ve all been up for the past ten minutes, it seems like an hour!

And we can’t wait for the Woman to come around!

…….

A few hours until sunshine, wooah!

Few hours until sunshine, woooah!

Few hours until sunshine, woooah!

And it don’t feel good!

…….

Girl, you know that we all love you, you know that it’s true,

And Woman, it seems like forever we’ve been waiting for you!

We all want to get our sleep now, before 4 am,

It’s only a few more hours until dawn returns again!

…….

A few hours until sunshine, wooah!

Few hours until sunshine, woooah!

Few hours until sunshine, woooah!

And it don’t feel good!

This morning’s Public Service Announcement …. The Burt book is delayed again :-( BUT, Book 6, starring Puck, will be out in September :-) Presumably announced on FB and Insta, but for everyone, here is the link to Dumpor …. Use arrow to toggle between cover photos.

Meanwhile Puck settles down to try and get some of his necessary sixteen hours of sleep after that exhausting effort (HOP, HOP, HOP!) to get the People up.

Dad Cat gets results.

Hopefully, between the Woman and Elvis, peace will soon be restored to the nursery.

I love Elvis comforting the Girl and his indignation on her behalf. I’d say Woman to the rescue, but that’s definitely not the media’s take. I know Goldie is buds with the Boy, so hopefully she’s offering more than just the latest news. I also love Burt in panel one reminding us just why this is happening.

OT: thanks to all who sent sympathies yesterday about my brother Ian – they, and all the purrs, were much appreciated. My cat Medb (Maeve) was especially cuddly yesterday (though her brother Loki was his usual superior self); maybe she somehow knew – Alison

I’m not sure ‘alert’ is quite the right word.

Elvis gonna Elvis.

I think the cats, with their nightly meowing, have made the people sound sleepers.Love the look on the boy.

Oh yeah Elvis is most definitely a Siamese

Dangit, I just got my sarcasm meter back from the shop, and now this!

You have got to love Elvis’ commentary!

i liked the comic, 0.00000000000001 seconds later someone else liked it

If you can suggest to your child, as they grow older, to use a few lucid dreaming tricks, like sprouting wings during a dream fall, it will give them control over their fears. Won’t work for everyone but it’s a great gift. I believe that “fairy tales” can be useful for their imaginative approach to escapes.

Elvis isn’t patient at all.

And the Boy didn’t jump out of bed & go running to the big People’s room to complain, or at least holler “MOM!!! DAD!!!” at the top of his lungs until they came running (or even hug his li’l sis to help her calm down), because…???

Sarcastic cats!

Elvis is the king of sarcasm.

Elvis is certainly in rare form, he wont let the people forget this soon.

Elvis doesn’t suffer fools. His standards are high.

As anyone who has lived with them knows, there is NO annoyed as an annoyed Siamese!

O dear, odear. There’s an ice storm here today and it’s supposed to go through tomorrow. The neighbor cat showed up this afternoon about 3:30, with ice in his fur. I let him in, dried him off, gave him some food and, as I always do, offered to let him back out. He just lives a few houses away, I think. And he doesn’t want to go back out. So now he’s ensconced in the kitchen with a litter box, food and water and a bed with a towel in an impossibly small guest box. He’s presently sleeping in the dead, dried remains of the catnip plants which are in a big pot of dirt. He looks happy. My other cats are suitably outraged and I expect retaliation. I know he’s got a home but I just can’t force him out in this weather because who knows but what his owner isn’t home or is indisposed and the cat needs a place to crash. He’s a storm tossed traveler.

If anyone else tried to squoze Elvis like that, they’d be shredded to ribbons.

Pengo looks upset too.

O.T. – PEEPTOADS

Elvis’ sarcasm, lol
