Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 15, 2019

Foreshadowing!

Also, SPOILER ZONE.

Such a perfectly cute moment here with every frame! Puck, so sweet and so brave, whispering so the kitten can get her much-needed warm sleep; Lupin, so interested from his blanket nest; the kitten, so small!

All together now: d’awwwwwwww!

(And I love Puck’s pajamas, and his little white patch.)

Oh my Cat—sweet, brave little Puck, protector of those in need!!♥♥♥♥♥My allergies must be acting up again…

Somebody is cutting onions again and my screen is getting all fogged up.

Such Love from Puck! Brave warrior and guard. Where’s Elvis? He’s usually the protector.

You’re no doubt right, Puck. Any ideas where we could get a volunteer? Maybe someone already in their jammies, maybe already standing in the hall?

You are very sweet and brave Puck, but judging from the kittens I’ve had, when she wakes up and wants to play, she’s going to wipe the floor with you!

I’ve never had children but I can imagine parents everywhere echoing dear Pucky’s feelings upon seeing their babies for the first time….“(The kitten) is so small and the world is so big!”

I’ve just been checking the BCN store. No “Stop being happy” shirt. No shirt with Elvis and his " Worse with time" graph. It’s all just cutesy stuff.

I helped a momcat raise four kittens from birth to 8 weeks, and the biggest surprise was that on one particular night, when I went to bed they still looked like very big worms, and the next morning they all looked like teeny-tiny cats.

24hrs Cocoa news. And where’s ‘uncle angry’?

Puck is a sweetheart. Oh, Elvis….. you are needed.

Oh, I do love the tips of Puck’s fangs showing in panel 3. Adds to the worried look, doesn’t it?

One more day, I think. (I hope.)

Can’t wait for tomorrow!

Someone who is very brave and has dignity!

I have a “the kitten is so small” story y’all might b appreciate. Dianna has four kittens. Britain, the smallest and most adventurous, got “lost” the other night. (She was at the base of the steps instead of on the porch.) I heard a commotion and went to check, just in time to see Dixie saving the baby. She scooped Britain up in her mouth and brought her up onto the porch. The only thing visible was Britain’s head! The rest of the baby was inside Dixie’s mouth! Dixie was very proud when she spit Britain out in front of Dianna. Neither Dianna nor Britain seemed to be as happy with the situation.

Pucky floof patch! Rarer than toe beans and infinitely wonderful to see.

The kitten needs somecat who is brave, noble and selfless to watch over her. Somecat who is ready to be the big spoon and watch “Our IX Lives” with her.

good morning orb, my cribmate from Fla, a devoted feral cat mom sent this poem to me yesterday (I had my 6th TNR this week).

A Street Cat’s Sentiment

I may never be a lap cat,

Or one who comes when called,

I may resist the hand that tries to touch,

And some may thing I’m flawed.

I may prefer my freedom,

To your warm and cozy house,

I may reject the bowl of finest foods,

For a chance to chase a mouse.

But the box you put out for me,

Feels safe and warm and dry,

And I raise my eyes to thank you,

When I see you walking by.

And I eat the food you give me,

And I listen to your voice,

I may not be a lap cat,

But you offer me a choice.

One day I’ll see the winter,

One day I’ll see the rain,

I may grow old not knowing,

That there is freedom from this pain,

Bit I know you try to help me,

And although my days will end,

I may never be a lap cat,

But I know you are my friend.

I must have the name of the BCN’s haberdasher. Their bespoke tailored clothing are always smart, and purrfect for the occasion. What do you think…Bergdorf Goodcat…Nieman Marcat…or a private tailor on Savile Row?

So, Puck, do you know anyone who can stand guard?

Yes, Pucky, the world is so big!

I thought Elvis was the guard cat.

So brave and so handsome in those stripey pajamas that show off his floofy white patch….swooooon!

TGIF!! Cuteness overload! Kitten sleeping, wrapped in towel; Puck floof; Puck fangs, because the world is so big; and, of course, the cat’s pyjamas!!

By the way, Poppet Bear, I read about the sinkholes in some areas of the BC coast; I hope you aren’t in the affected area.

Puck is wearing his “Guard Pajamas!”

Yes dear brave Puck, protect the wee kitten from the very big world…sniff…I’m…I’m not crying…sniff…YOU’RE CRYING!

If it weren’t so cold outside, I’m sure Tommy would have been standing guard at the window. Perhaps Tillie and the news crew of RCO are unseen guardians as well.

Prediction, we will cut into the office tomorrow and Elvis will be in there.

One of my all-time favourite scenes coming in 3..2..1..

Puck is my favorite.

OK I now have the song from Footloose in my head. Holding out for a hero.

Our little Bandit seems like she isn’t growing. Like a midget cat. She was the runt anyway but it is a bit weird.

Yes Puck someone brave, you better go find someone because we know it isn’t you as hard as you try. One of the other boys will do. You can curl up next to her and keep her warm, but protect not so much.

(With apologies to KK)

You say you’re lookin’ for some cat

Who’s never weak, but always strong

To protect you and defend you

Whether you are right or wrong

Someone who’ll stand guard for you by your door

Well, it is Puck, babe

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is Puck, babe.

Well it is Puck you’re lookin’ for, babe. (Bob Dylan, “It Ain’t Me, Babe”)

Preferably someone with a microphone.

I’m experiencing the “lock out” when trying to open this page. Then I get a dialog box that says, “A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.” Followed by an ad URL. I won’t post the URL because it could lead to a bad page.

I have to click “stop script” at least 3 times before I can finally access the page.

The kitten is so small and the world is so big.

Puck gains wisdom!

This is off-topic, but I’m pleased to say that Conan has improved a lot in the last two days. His white counts are back up now, and he has been cleared for the next round of chemo. I fervently hope we don’t have delays like this too often; I hate to see my boyo feeling bad and I really want to get through all his chemo as soon as possible.

OMC, today’s broadcast is too cute, too touching for words. Love, love, love.

Puck is too sensitive to be a true cat. He really needs his humans.

so sweeet

We can be heroes…if just for one day

Sweet, precious Puck. <3 An acquaintance found out last week that the 5-month-old tabby kitten she was fostering had the wet form of FIP. She made his days full of treats (well, “adventures”) and cuddles. Last night he let her know, by refusing food and water, that he was ready to go. She had her vet make a home visit and said goodbye to him, holding him in her arms.

Hopefully this little girl will have a long happy life. For now, seeing how protective Puck is of her makes my heart swell and my eyes water. The cats we love and rescue have only one flaw – they never live long enough, and their passing leaves holes in our hearts that, while they may be mended, never truly heal.

Toooo Cute!

P.s. happy “Discounted Valentine’s Day Candy” Day!
