    Any time you do two or more dryer loads in a row, check to make sure you know where your cat/cats are!

    Sweet Pucky, you are a wonderfully fluffy puff of sweetness. No tumble in the dryer could improve on your perfection.

    GET OUF THE DRYER RIGHT NOW PUCK! You do not want to attempt to get fluffier that way. I don’t find today’s strip funny. We lost a kitten to a dryer when I was a kid in kindergarten and since then I don’t really find kitties in dryers that funny.

    Logical but not a good idea Pucky dear. Besides, you are fluffy enough! I recommend a good kitty conditioner if you’re so concerned about your fur coat. Happy Purrsday Mega Orb! Xxxx

    And while Puck is trying to become fluffier, Elvis is still struggling with the evil peanut butter.

    Megan, you should know, was not in the least bit judgmental. She had a “been there, done that” mindset, was seldom surprised and never, ever went into a situation with a preconceived notion. She, in her many years of doing what she does, had learned that it’s harder to be surprised by something if you haven’t already formed an opinion about it But this was just her way of thinking. Tre-C, on the other hand, should have never been allowed to read that Email invitation. She was hell-bent for vengeance on a cause she had only just been just been introduced to. No-one was going to exploit HER sisters…

    I’ve never really thought of Puck as ‘fluffy’. Always thought he was sleek and plushy, in a deep velvet sort of way.

    Don’t worry. The Woman knows cats and ALWAYS checks the dryer, even when she thinks there are no cats down in the laundry room (remember, Puck had special permission for today, to comfort/distract the Toddler whilst Pengo was undergoing his peanutbutterectomy). Puck will never go for a ride in the dryer.

    Good morning and happy Thursday/Purrsday, orbsters and orbabies. An extra-fluffy Pengo makes the toddler and Puck very happy. Puck, sweetie, be a good boy and get your heinie out of the dryer, please. Our washer and dryer are stacked. Yum Yum has never felt the least attraction to the dryer but, when younger, used to like to sleep in the washing machine, so we were always careful to check before starting a load of laundry. I have a picture of her somewhere roosting in the washer and looking out with her headlights.

    Puck, The Woman already calls you her “Special Fluffy Puff” so you have no need to be in the dryer. Get out now!!! My heart goes out to all those who have had tragedies of this sort with your babies. Thankfully ours never seemed to be tempted.

    Because a certain miffed Maine Coon was born with an over abundance of curiosity, checking both my washer and dryer, even though they are stacked was obligatory. He has even appeared in a certain cat calendar sitting IN my dryer looking out like, what? Isn’t this a cat condo? As my unit now lives in our building’s basement and he doesn’t have the key down there, I no longer worry

    Silly Pucky. Dryers are not for cats. Sinks are for cats.

    This lovely carton strip is a life saver for those of us who are so concerned for the hearings today. The strip is a wonderful stress reliever. Thank you Georgia.

    I use a public laundromat. There’s a sign on each dryer to check for animals and foreign objects.

    Puck’s not content with being called "Mommy’s special Fluffy Puff. He wants to be “Mommy’s special Super-Fluffy Puff!”

    There’s a win-win solution to this potential disaster. Unless there’s a compelling reason to do so, leave the clothes in the dryer after it’s run its cycle, and leave the door open. Kitties will appreciate the warmth of extra-fluffy clothes to cuddle up in without actually having to go for a ride themselves.

    @dadoctah My problem is then I forget about said clothes and they get all wrinkly. Which then creates more work for me.

    Wait one second… Puck is in the laundry room, and the Woman isn’t concerned or wondering how he got down there? And why is our Cat of Adventure Lupin down there? Usually he’s the one who sneaks down there… I wonder if Pucky pulled rank (since he seems to be the comfort-giver of the trio) given that the Boy was worried about Pengo. I have so many questions!

    PSA for caregivers with cats: not only to check the dryer for cats before starting it. Also check the seat of the wheelchair for foreign objects before transferring your care recipient into it. Signed, I was three hours late for work because we didn’t realize the Woman was sitting on her glasses. Fortunately, they were found before we got to LensCrafters to get a replacement pair.

    Please people, keep perspective. Georgia was making a joke that Pucky would want to be fluffier, shw would never put one of her characters in serious danger. Because you read BCN, I already know you have a higher IQ than most. Take today’s strip in the sweet humor that was intended.

    I feel for all those who have lost a kitty furbaby to such a tradgic incident. I see why it can still bring up traumatic memories long after the event. Stay as strong as you can.

    And let’s focus on how happy the toddler is to have his Pengo safely back in his little arms.

    Look at the Woman’s body language in the last panel, and the way she phrases it. That’s the ultimate “no.” Something I think many may not realize about Georgia: she’s firmly anchored in the real world, knows it’s not all sweetness and light. (Perhaps that’s why “Swan Eaters.”) But she does have a wonderful talent for reminding us that how we take the world is up to us. Is the glass half empty or half full? The correct answer is “Yes.”

    When our guys were still regularly allowed in the basement, we kept some old blankets on top of the dryer, which gets very pleasantly warm. That’s where they liked to nap, and showed no interest in the inside of the thing.

    This is why cats have staff. We should know better. It is not their job to think of such frivolous details as danger. Staff’s job is to keep kitties safe and sound and to occasionally keep them from having the fun they want to have. Yes it makes for miffed masters and “pussed off pissy cats” but it is our job thankless as it my be. We signed up for it so those are the breaks. Eventually we will be pardoned for our transgressions of stopping the fun but until then remember they will come around and be around because of your hard work.
