Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 28, 2020

They’re loving their recorders and loving the stare down!Makes Puck twitchy though.

This is normal IRL

Why do I hear “Dueling Banjoes” in the background?

You might want to move out of no cat’s land, Puck. I think the truce is about to be broken.

It could be worse, Pucky. At least they’re not dueling with wind-instrument recorders. And I seem to remember that Elvis has some earphones he might be able to lend you (last seen during the peep toads story).

You tell them, Puck. They will learn not to molest your peace.

“…just making notes into his recorder.” Goldie knows that the subject is male.

Time to break out the fresh container of Cat Nip! It is my solution when these old ladies feel the need to wap each other up side the head!

Uh oh, don’t make Puck angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

Poor Pucky, caught the crossfire again! I see that twitchy tail.

OT Yen

Puck, they’re both having fun. Don’t worry about it.

OT Forgot to mention that received my 2021 BCN calendar on Christmas Eve. My favorite present by far. Love all the little special drawings. Thanks Georgia for putting it together.

Slow news day?

Sigh! Oh well, so it goes.

A little less conversation, a little more action, please

All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me

A little more peace and a little less grief

A little less stare and a little more care

Close your mouths and open up your hearts and stop your evil-eyeing

Yeah, stop your crazy spying

(Billy Strange / Mac Davis – A Little Less Conversation)

At the rate Lupin is going, he’ll need a lot more cassettes

Poor Puck just wants to enjoy his cup of coffee. Sometimes I feel like him when I sit down for a cup of coffee at the kitchen table and get between my wife and daughter when they are actively discussing/debating something. To be fair, they both can say the same thing about myself and the other lady of the house as well at times, particularly my wife who says Amy’s chattiness must come from her Dad ;-) At least the conversations are lively and are always friendly!

Poor Pucky is just a little cat who wants to drink his coffee in peace!

Sweet Pucky, gets caught in the middle and he’s just a little cat who wants his tea..

I love Puck’s cute, Claws Of Annoyance, sticking out while he holds his cup!

The irony of me reading this at 7:43 Eastern Time is amazing.

Uh-oh. Beware. Goldie’s fang is showing.

Hmmm I wonder why puck’s eyebrows were grey in this comic?

“Their?” Lupin’s a boy.

Go poof and pout in your designated spot?

Poor Puck. Trapped in the middle.

Then I guess take your mug and find another cozy spot to snooze.

And if they follow you anyway, throw your mug at them. But make sure it’s empty first.

Poor Puck, stuck in the middle again.

Once again Georgia nails cat behavior in the most charming possible way: in this case, the intensity and pointlessness of cat stare-down contests.

I was wondering how two recorders would play out. It’s as I feared.

I just received my calendar and absolutely love it!!!

The only thing worse is when they will not stop taking pictures of each other with their new toys.

living in house four crazy furballs !

Today is: D-3

National Card Playing Day: Words of wisdom: “You got to know when to hold ’em,/know when to fold ’em,/ Know when to walk away,/ Know when to run† …” Can apply to life as well, which is more like a game of cards (or Mah Jong) than any other game. I whist not to raise any issues you don’t want to see, lest I be bid to deal myself out. I have no heart for it, and though I have been called a diamond, I’m no dummy. I won’t use a rubber club to trump a bad hand. Fortunately, my hole card is a spade, so I can dig myself out of this.

Call a Friend Day: It would be better to see them, but only raise them if they look like a weak hand. Be careful what you call him or her, or you may get busted and flush.

National Chocolate Candy Day: Never mind mere money, let’s play for serious stakes—chocolates! I’ll see your five M & M’s™ and raise you two cordial cherries.

National Download Day: Never download your winnings/ while sittin’ at the table/ There’ll be time enough for eatin’/ when the dealin’s done.

Cat fight

It might be wise for them to stop right now least they both loose taperecorders while they sleep.

Anyone else have the feeling those two are better friends than they’d admit?

A study in angry eyebrows!

I think the truce is … doomed. This could very well be a High Noon situation here.

Does Lupin use a tape recorder so others can listen to his notes later? Recorded notes are pretty much useless to him.

Well, so much for privacy.

Poor little Pucky is stuck in the middle.

I guess because Lupin is deaf, he is loud? Does Goldie know he is hearing-impaired? Did she ever apologize for taking his recorder? Asking for a friend.

time for Puck to pull the “mom cat” card (even though he’s a boy)
