Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 19, 2021

I…I think I can hear the Cloister Bell ringing all the way from here. Doom is upon us.

Elvis, if you’d let The Man get some sleep, he might not make such a catastrophic mistake!

Tiny Fist of Anger. (TFoA???)

There’s nothing worse then generic Keeble! Blech!!!!!!

Yikes! The Man definitely needs more training in shopping for kitty food!

Not just the wrong kibble but GENERIC kibble!

The man has committed a huge faux paw and will suffer the consequences…

Kebble? What is Kebble? Is it edible? Can you spend it? Bea needs to do some research!

And then he bought some “malk” for the kids.

Brand X kibble is Kebble! Might as well be pebbles!

NO! EVERYONE is doomed!

Man, it is not purr-fect for Elvis.

Introducing your cat to a brand X like Kebble could have dire consequences. If you are lucky they will simply refuse to eat it even if you slowly introduce it into their old food. Morris of “9 Lives” fame was not the only finicky cat in the world for sure! However, a lot of the times the cats will show their displeasure by vomiting it up somewhere, usually inconvenient for the humans like their shoes, the carpet, cushions or bedding.

OT: man 2021 has been zooming by. My daughter has her exam week at FSU already, starting on Monday and ending on Friday and then she comes back home on Saturday after we clear out her dorm room, yay! Amy is looking forward to seeing her 2 kittens! The semester ended early because FSU eliminated Spring Break and shortened the semester by modifying the schedule so that it ends 3 weeks earlier than usual. This time around all the exams are at reasonable hours, no more 10 to midnight finals like last fall!

On the other hand UF has their exams April 26-30 and USF May 1-6 so each state university is different. My community college does not have its finals until May 5-10 which is par for the course compared to other years so I get to teach for 3 more weeks while my daughter and her classmates enjoy a bit of freedom earlier than usual. Have to admit I am envious.

Isn’t this the elfin-made brand of kibble? I’d be careful. It didn’t go well with leprechaun’s. Other wee folk could cause chaos.

Inpending Doom never felt stronger, than when last year shopping was hit or miss with food shortages , and empty shelves. Then turning into the cat food isle……

Ah, got duped by the old cheap imitation trick, eh, pal?

Uh oh. Man you have displeased The Elvis. Extra face boops for you tonight.

They don’t want the fancy schmancy kitty treats but They Sure Don’t Want the Generic Kebble!!

That is the offest off-brand I have ever seen!

People,

People who buy Kebble,

Are the yuckiest people in the world

With one person one very special person

No more hunger and thirst

But first be a person who buys kibble

People who buy kibble

Have the luckiest kitties in the world…

(Jule Styne / Bob Merrill – People/Barbra)

Our white cat not only has to have the expensive vet stocked kibble, it has to be the triangular shape one not the square shape one. Woe be unto us all if the wrong one is brought home….champion horkage will ensue.

We’ve been lucky so far with cat food. It’s the litter. Pepper refused to use anything but the crystal litter with blue flakes. No purple flakes. Nothing. Else.

We are now using Tofu Litter, which Sultan and Sheba don’t mind.. we still miss Pepper :(

Yeah … the Woman knows what’s wrong here.

“Kebble”? Why does this product sound like it was produced by Boris and Natasha to fool Moose and Squirrel?

Silly Kitty, Kebbles must be for Kids!* ‘Cause Kats won’t eat that stuff!

Apologies to Trix which also isn’t for kids, or rabbits.

In honor of Tommy, who is on the mend from dentistry and surgery: Pinball Wizard

Ever since I was a kitten, I loved ’most every one,

Meeting cats and people, it really is quite fun,

But best of all is the cartoon where I’m free to run,

Having great adventures, thanks to Ms Georgia Dunn!

…….

Elvis, Puck, Lupin, and Goldie: Friendly Kitty, a loving bumble bee,

That’s our Tommy, as everyone can see!

Puck: How do you think he does it?

Elvis: I don’t know!

Goldie: What makes him so cute?

…….

Robber Mice: Ain’t got no pretensions,

Never displays guile,

Loves all cats and people,

Always with a smile!

Always loves his kibble,

A purr for every one,

Both in real life,

And the cartoon of Georgia Dunn!

Uh oh. Someone, and I am not going to name names, is going to throw-up in the man’s shoes tonight.

That isn’t cat kibble. It’s lies and betrayal!

I think the button that makes the Man scream will be – not quite accidentally – pushed.

Poor Elvis can’t even begin to describe what’s wrong – SO WRONG – with that cat food (?) bag.

The man meant well; even so, there is another trip to the supermarket in the immediate future.

Welcome to Jurrasic Park!

Even Burt has no [chyron] words to describe the horror.

Ugh, I can relate. I came home from a weekend convention with a bag of a certain organic brand from Trader Joe’s that carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Welp. I don’t know if the stuff is any good because Dougie will not touch it. He had not been fed in over 36 hours (no lectures, please) and he still won’t eat the food. I will be asking for my money back, only because they offered.

OT: 2 AWSUM things

My father was once sent to the grocery store with orders to buy “beans … any kind of beans, just not red kidney beans.”

He came home with red kidney beans. Was sent back to the store, Again came home with red kidney beans. It required two more trips before he obtained the correct item.

Sadly, BCN:Cats of Adventure will need to restart development. The game.json and assets folder got wiped when I had to nuke my hard drive to reinstall Windows after I broke it.

You know it’s generic when it can’t even spell the name of their product correctly.

Serve him a meat loaf made of 100% ground “beef”. :-D

Oh dear, here we go, can’t the Man do anything right with Elvis?

Oh! The felinity!

Is this just a ploy to get out of doing the grocery shopping? Or is the Man genuinely that clueless?

Well… honest mistake if you’re a midwesterner who drinks “melk”, sleeps on a “pellow”, and may live in “Ellinois.”

Tomorrow’s comic will start with Lupin saying “The Man went back to the store.”

I really can’t believe all the picky eater cats mentioned here. Sure, my cats have their preferences, but the term “Hunger Strike” is not in their vocabulary.

The only thing worse would be if it were labeled “KEBBLE” in quotation marks.

If my Man did that, there would not only be fighting words, I would seriously question the marriage! Generic cat food for Mommy’s Precious Fluffo Poos? Not an option!

My cat would seriously throw up if she ate that. we have to buy her fancy food.

Who buys a bag that says kebble?! This is what happens Elvis when you keep whapping the Man in his sleep!!!

Someone is in trebble, which is roughly three times more trouble than usual. I’m over-explaining again…

Time for a self-serving back-patting horn-blowing public service message:

“Kibble? We ain’t got no kibble. We don’t need no kibble. I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ kibble!”

BARF! Yes, ladies and gentlecats, BARF!

You start with 4 fried chickens and a Coke, and some dry white toast. Sorry, wrong movie. Here at the castle we start with 8 whole raw chickens. Cut into pieces and fend through the grinder, bones, gibbies and all.

Dump into the vast mixing vat and add water.

https://www.lemproducts.com/product/refurbished-big-bite-fixed-position-meat-mixer-25-lb/butcher-meat-mixers

Add BARF premix powder (or create your own). Continue mixing.

Spoon large blobs into vacuum bags, seal and freeze.

As you can see, we take this very seriously. Of course, given the vast herd of feline assassins, volume is a critical factor. You can scale this down for single cat feeding. You can also skip the equipment and use store ground turkey, or ask the local butcher to grind a few chickens for you.

Actually, they still get kibble for breakfast, but our experience with BARF (20 years) is 100% positive. I attribute our longevity experience in a large part to BARF.

Yayyyyyy! BARF!

Years ago we got a kitten who liked rice cereal. The humans we got her from had this weird idea about helping her get through weaning by giving her rice cereal mixed with milk. We switched her to dry food. We discovered that it had to be mixed with rice cereal in order to get her to eat it. Gradually we tapered her off. She learned to recognize the rice cereal box. If she saw it in the cupboard she’d start meowing.

It is the wrong stuff. The woman just looks at the bag and it is the wrong stuff.

good thing it’s not Kabble

Remember this strip? From way back in the olden times…..

Dear friends, I has an impostor troll problem. Some troll impostor has created a Go Comics profile to impersonate me and is going on spamming comment boards.

So, just so you know the difference, Please note that MY profile URL is :

https://www.gocomics.com/profile/3009492

The number in the profile URL is unique per account and mine is 3009492-

The impostor troll’s profile URL and the account number will be different.

For an example of this impostor troll, see the comments section of BOZO comic here on Go Comics where this impostor has commented “Gazpacho”.

If you visits the impostors profile, take a note of the profile URL and the account number in that profile URL, and you’ll see that the number is different than mine. So far, this is the only way I know that you can tell the difference between an impostor.

Yep, has to be the right brand and the right kind.

Generic, pseudo kibble made from recycles pine trees with meat essence added with an eye dropper.

You messed up big time, Man.

I understand completely.

Did The Man…fail…?

When I read this comic this morning, I thought it was a yawner. After reading the comments, today’s strip is quite hilarious. Yay, people.

Our cats favorite treat is ‘Catit’. They go wild over them- one of them will just about eat the package too!

Penny will only eat two kinds of crunchy food – “I & Love & You”‘s poultry-flavored kibble, and Greenies. If I give her anything else, she’ll put her nose to it, look up at me as if to say, “I’m not even mad, Mama – I’ll just wait for you to do the right thing,” and avoid her dish until I change the food.

All commercially available cat foods have been extensively tested to provide basic health requirements for cats. Billions of dollars are at stake. The only reason for a “special” food is if your cat has a bona fide medical condition. A second opinion, from a vet who does NOT sell special cat food, is recommended.

Cats don’t like having their food changed. However, cats will NOT starve themselves over food geometry. Let a cat sulk for a day or do and its appetite will return. Seriously, don’t waste money on “designer” cat food. Save it for those vet bills.

I hear there’s a cat food shortage
