Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 29, 2019

Little (and littler) ears in Panel 1 and a little paw in Panel 3. Adorable!

I hope Lupin and the Robber Mice (forming a band anytime soon, guys?) enjoy their presumably plastic beans. On the other paw, I bet they’re fun to bat across the floor.

The Baby in one arm, Puck in the other…the Man’s got it good.

Still lovin’ the bandit mask there, Lupin. You almost look like a giant Natasha!

Yes he does! Now he just needs a striped shirt to match.

I spy two pairs of ears looking like shark fins in panel one. Has Lupin joined the Robber Mouse Gang? Is he wearing Tommy’s raccoon mask? Elvis is looking as confused about the game as I am. Natasha, why are you gathering beans when there’s pie on the table!

Sweet, sleepy baby girl with her little hand on her daddy’s arm. Awwwww!

Can anyone identify the board game?

So is this an actual game that anyone recognizes? I can’t place it, but it seems vaguely familiar.

SCOOTER!!!!!!!!! Oh, wait, white cat, not black. {Rosanna Rosannadanna voice} Never mind.

I hope Goldie is enjoying her Thanksgiving. She has so much to be thankful for. A warm safe house, a bed, kibble and litter I a litter box, a new People to live with and to take care of who will take care of her. Puck as a friend right away, with Elvis and Lupin in their time. I am sure Tommy and Beatrix can share what went on after the camera went off, how grateful Goldie was to sleep inside under a roof. I know Elvis remembers that too, and in that same shed.

A house with reeky robber rats rambunctiously running amok isn’t very hygienic. Like Robin would say, the horrendous hi-jinksing harbingers of the plague could soon spell dire dismal doom

Is it just me, or is the Man moving that slice of pie away from reaching paws in Panel 3? The pie has definitely moved! Maybe that’s why Lupin and the Robber Mice are going for the beans – the pie is being watched, and Lupin wouldn’t want to take anything from his favorite Man.

I just realized Elvis and Puck are wearing their jammies!

A Robber Meowse!

No, Lupin! Don’t go to the dark side…even though they are cute and have pie!

I LOVE Robber Lupin!! <3

Puck is so charmingly enthusiastic even if he doesn’t have a clue about what is going on.

Lupin has gone over to the mouse side and is crime-ing.

Wait … there’s pie left??

Hope everyone had a nice day yesterday! For many reasons, it was the first time I was able to host our entire family in our home (13 peeps) and I’m happy to report that it went very well. <3

Love Lupin’s “Robber Mouse” – err – “Robber Cat” mask!

I love Masked Lupin! Full-on Cat Burglar mode.

there is a jack and the beanstalk game, where you climb a beanstalk to get goodies from the giants castle. vintage.

520 comments yesterday, does anyone know if that is a record? Our group is growing and yesterday was a holiday for all of us in the US but that still seems at least one of the largest.

Any strip with a double “yoink” gets two thumbs up approval from Torsten & Esse (and me of course)

Well, at least Lupin has a smile on his face again while he and Natasha have teamed up to steal beans! Today I go to pick up wrapping and tissue paper along with gift bags for December birthdays, Secret Santa, Christmas, and anything else that may choose to happen in the next month or so.

This seems a much healthier way to spend the day after Thanksgiving than shopping. We should rename it Pie And Board Game Friday.

This strip gets a solid AWWW, Georgia! From the slumbering Baby to Lupin and friend(s) purloining the playing pieces, it’s non-stop cute all the way through. Now, I need to go back and see what other little gems I missed … I never spot all of the treat the first time through. :) This strip is one of the things I am thankful for, and the community around it is another. Thank you!

In the second panel, looks like that beanstalk is doing The Twist!

An oldie from Judy Garland: Who?

Who stole the beans away?

Who stole pie yesterday?

Who gives thanks whatever we do?

Who makes yoink sounds all the day through?

Who turned to a life of crime?

Who thinks beans are sublime? Who?

Lupin, it’s you!

…….

A kitty’s intentions, his schemes and inventions,

Are seldom if ever defined,

And Lupin’s no different, why should he be different?

As he always makes up his mind

Do the humans know of the situation?

He’s doing mischief for the duration?

…….

Who stole the beans away?

Who stole pie yesterday?

Who gives thanks whatever we do?

Who makes yoink sounds all the day through?

Who turned to a life of crime?

Who thinks beans are sublime? Who?

Lupin, it’s you!

OT (but not too far): Live streaming kitten cams! Since I can’t have fur kids & can’t afford to move, I have to get my kitty fix online. Sigh. These two are my current faves:

From TinyKittens, 2 momcats with kittens. Often they curl up right in front of the camera & get those MOTORS running!

From KitKat Playroom, a litter of 6 rescued orphans, about 3 weeks old (such an adorably awkward stage):

And Lupin has embarked on “criming” with the robbers!

Sounds like a pretty fun board game.

Robber Lupin!

Did no one recognize Lupin in his robber mask?

I just noticed that the Good Boys, with the exception of Lupis who is busy launching his career of Crime, are wearing their little jammies. What can go wrong while they are in their jammies?

Oh Lupin! I just keep smiling and hoping that perhaps he’s following in the footstep of who I hope/wish/need him to be named after: Arsène Lupin (perhaps “the third”).

Lupin’s paw in the last panel stealing one more bean!

YOINK! Is this a coincidence or a trend??

PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My mother taught me that the day after Thanksgiving is National “Clean your oven and the rest of the kitchen Day” it is also celebrated on the day after Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, and any family party day.

Um, what’s “leftover” pie? Is that even a thing?

Obligatory carnivores don’t know much about farming.

Someone swat Lupin. Natasha’s fine, but Lupin’s going to the dark side.

Does anyone recognize the board game they are playing?

I forgot to post yesterday about our friends who preheated their oven, forgetting they were storing a Tupperware cake container filled with Oreos in there: laminated cookies! The odor alerted them before anything really bad happened.

Okay, you think you love cats … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkO7be9Dn2c Try this on for size …

A day spent being lazy, eating leftovers, and playing board games with my family sounds fantastic. Instead, my sister and I worked 2-10:30p.m. The country store we work at doesn’t even have sales, lol. (Not really complaining, just voicing a general, impossible wish that Black Friday wasn’t a thing.)

Yoink

!Oooh leftover pie and board game day
