Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 14, 2020

Wondering whether or not this is something that really happened, because this seems like a very cat thing to do. XD;

Panel 3, Goldie seems sad. Panels 4 and 5, she is increasingly annoyed. Look out, Lupin.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! You’ve met your match, Lupin!! Goldie will prevail.

Better cool it, Lupin. The man was largely responsible for making sure Goldie could stay. I don’t think he’s going to be on your side this time!

That fourth panel cracks me up.

Even though I know that IRL Lupin now gets along with Goldie (or at least tolerates her), it still makes me so sad to see him being so mean to her in this strip……

This story has made me sad from the time Goldie was brought into the house without anyone taking steps to deal with the injustice.

Goldie eyebrows, panel 3. LOL

There is only one way to sort this out. Let’s get ready to rumbleeeee!

Wrong place, wrong time The Man.

I can definitely understand why The Man would be a favourite part of the apartment.♥

We’re currently going through this as our new girl, Mama Mia is trying to keep safe from our Little Miss Kinky Boots.

Goldie needs to have a chat with her buddy, Puck to find out why Lupin is snarly towards her. I would so love to see a strip soon where the mystery is revealed to her.

Lupin needs a comeuppance.

Goldie in Panel 3. <3

Oh, just hit him, Goldie.

Snerk! Lupin on the counter saying, ‘Cats aren’t allowed up here’, cracks me up! Hee hee hee hee!

“Put up yer paws!”

The Man knows that since he has two cats with claws extended, ready to fight, perched near him, he needs to be very still.

I feel sorry for Goldie. She was abandon by those people and now has to deal with a grumpy Lupin…and she looks sad in panel 3.

There’s defenitely a cat fight brewing.

Oh dear, even the Power of the Fuzzy Blanket is not calming the situation down.

The back of Goldie’s head!

So Lupin has stopped his horkage rampage?

Lupin. GIVE! GOLDIE! A! CHANCE! Think of how Puck and Elvis treated YOU when you moved in.

Goldie has shown remarkable restraint in not slapping Lupin silly, especially as (so far as we know) nobody’s told her he’s deaf nor reminded her about her recorder-napping. Even more restraint in not doing something that’ll invite him to take the first swing—like jumping over him into the kitchen, for example.

I have 4 house cats and Robin and Eddie get along fine, then Robin and Pad Paw get along sometimes, Minerva doesn’t like anybody, Pad Paw doesn’t like Eddie. Robin is old and he just goes with the flow for the most part.

Lupin is being inordinately mulish for a pussycat who’s lucky to have such a nice place to flop. :-|

“Cats aren’t allowed here”. Riiight.

Lupin! Chill!

I think Lupin needs to calm down and state his true grievances. I am sure he feels everyone should know why he is really upset, but I am not sure they do especially Goldie. Maybe The Woman will get some calming spray to help him calm down a bit and then he can let Goldie know what the real problem is and we can have some resolution.

…and now we have a hostage situation on the couch. Lovely.

(aka LadyKat) I can see Lupin being upset over possibly having to share the man, as the man is his special person, much as the woman is Elvis’. The rest is purely ridiculousness on his part.

Happy Organize Your Home Day. You remember those ducks from yesterday? It’s time to get them in a row. Quabble, quabble, quabble, quabble, quabble, QUACK!

We are BACK with, ‘The Fray with the Stray!!’

… (Who’s now adopted — But Lupin refuses to acknowledge!) :)

I feel bad for poor Goldie. Her people abandoned her and just when she thought she found a new home, Lupin’s rejecting her. Look in panel four—those sweet, droopy little ears!

OT: Orbsters, help me out with something … what is it with Ember and paper products? She tries to eat paper bags and pieces of cardboard boxes. The boxes, I can at least see where she might be trying to open a hole in the cardboard so she can see what’s in the box (I actually have her on video doing that with a box from Chewy) … but the paper bag makes no sense. She doesn’t do it regularly, and we’re talking near-microscopic pieces of paper, but I want to make sure it’s not a symptom of a bigger issue. Suggestions?

(Addendum: I’m not entirely persuaded she doesn’t do it to make noise. I have seen her simply shred paper-bag type packing material in some boxes, rather than trying to eat it.)

It’s time to duck and cover, Man!

Perhaps we are looking as this wrong. Did Lupin have his heart broken by an Orange Tabby when he was young?

Time to call in Jackson Galaxy.

Poor Goldie, I think Puck needs to give her a hug. Now come here to me Lupin. This is not welcoming behaviour. I know that Goldie took your tape recorder, but it was returned, eventually by the robber mice, and if she was not in the apartment Goldie would be homeless.

About time for Goldie to put Lupin in his place. It’s the only way he’ll change and accept her.

Very interesting, Lupin. Getting up on the counter to say cats aren’t allowed on the counter. Does that mean you’re a dog?

I like how the Man counts as part of the apartment

Oh, Lupin…

The last panel made me laugh. Lol!

Are Burt and Goldie related?

Aww, Goldie looks so sad in the third panel.

When I adopted Grace (named for Grace Hopper) Caramel, who had been an only cat for some time, was not at all happy. Grace was a rescue that a friend brought too me, and Caramel absolutely freaked. She sulked for a few days, then was rather withdrawn for quite a time. She slowly got over it, and now, they are quite close. At first, Caramel would not get on the bed at all if Grace was there. Now, they share the bed, and sometimes sleep together. And they are constantly grooming each other. They still act a bit like children fighting over the attention of Mommy, but it is not as bad as it was.

But this strip does make me feel sad. I look forward to their all coming to their senses and becoming a happy quartet of good kitties.
