Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 10, 2021

Has Elvis been watching Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home?

Was Elvis a ship’s cat in a previous life? He seems a liiiiittle too familiar with sea sounds. A wood-clad ship, of course. Anything newer wouldn’t be dignified.

What a wonderful soliloquy from Elvis….The Woman is his mommy and he feels her pain.

Don’t stop him now Puck! Elvis is a rolling in the deep blue sea.

Reminds me: I have both rheumatoid and osteo- arthritis. I also play the bodhran (Irish frame drum). Sometimes my popping and cracking wrist sets up a counter beat to what I am playing.

I love the the kitties are whispering because the woman has fallen asleep! They are being so sweet!

OT – Ig Nobel Prizes

Love that Goldie and Lupin are maintaining a truce in honor of a higher priority – healing the Woman! Look how close they are, and how quiet they’re being. What good kitties.

Go, Elvis!❤️

Fish and Krill oil help achy joints.

Elvis is a poet! Who’d a’thunk it?

Has Elvis been reading ‘Moby Richard’ in his off hours?

With all this talk of the sea, can Talk-Like-a-Pirate day be too far off?

He holds him with his glittering eye—

Reporter Puck stood still,

And listens like a three years’ child:

The Siamese hath his will.

OT: C

GDSMom?

Elvis toe beans!

Methinks the Pirate Ballerina is getting a little carried away.

They’re all so well-behaved, and Elvis is lyrical.

Knees need kneading now, knowledgeable kittens!

Who knew Elvis had such poetry in his soul. Personally I adore the maritime metaphors; it’s been a long time since I was shipboard.

In a completely unrelated report and keeping with our nautical theme, Elvis insists the Man provide tuna for dinner.

Elvis: The Siren and the Sailor

The Siren and the Sailor, two ships passing in the night

Bringing pain and sorrow, a cargo within sight

Inspiring our Elvis, with his clever metaphor,

The Siren and the Sailor, calling pain to wash ashore.

…….

The Siren and the Sailor, wishing they would go their way

The pain that they bring with them takes awhile to go away

Now bringing cats and cookies, we all know that we will win,

With a lot of love and rest, and acetaminophen!

OT: Why, Jojo?

Last night my mom’s cat Jojo decided to slip out the door and explore the Great Outdoors. After about three hours she came back rather upset, while my mom’s other cat Pepper gave Jojo lots of hugs and grooming. I guess all’s well that ends well, but why did she need to leave? She’s been spayed, so there’s no question of searching for a mate. Cats!

Elvis! Who knew you had such poetry in your soul?

Great, now I need to pee

The long and winding ode

To knees old & sore

Is what we need to hear

Leaves us hoping for more

Elvis is such a dear

He loves her for shore

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

- John Lennon / Paul McCartney – The Long and Winding Road

Oh, he’s Elvis the Sailor Cat

He’s Elvis the Sailor Cat

Puck wishes he’d finish

’cause his joy is diminished

from Elvis the Sailor Cat

[Samuel “Sammy” Lerner / I’m Popeye the Sailor Man]

With all those little ankle biters, it’s a wonder The Woman can stand on her feet!

Bipedalism has its drawbacks

I love the mournful little whales!

Oh, to have the knees of robber mice, at least they seem sturdy

If Elvis’ words feel right you can sail away and find tranquility

Oh, metaphors do miracles, just you wait and see

Believe me

It’s not fun when pain doesn’t end, no reason to pretend

And if your knees feel right you can find the joy of innocence again

Oh, poetry can do miracles, just you wait and see

Believe me

Elvis, take me away to where I’ve always heard it could be

Just a dream and my knees to carry me

And soon I will be free

- Carter Burwell – Sailing – Christopher Cross

Elvis, you’re missing the pirate hat.

I read “siren” and think of Homer. (Odyssey)

Like foggy seals in a net of love.

I feel for her, sore knees are no fun!

Elvis is a poet, and we didn’t know it.

I didn’t realize Elvis has such a nautical bent.

I’m guessing the Woman is watching the National Geographic or the Nature Channels as a break from the British mysteries. Thank Cat it’s not Shark Week. Lupin and Shark Week makes me shudder.

Hmmm, guess that fits. About the same age as my baby sister when she had her daughter I suspect and the girl does seem about the same age my niece was when her mom turned forty.

Sounds like two arthritic knees. For someone who doesn’t play football for a living that’s pretty young.

Was Elbiff a salty sea dog in a past life?

time for the woman to get her knees checked out. It may be worse than anyone thinks. I have a friend whose knees started hurting her pretty bad when she was pregnant with her last child. Turns out most of the cartiladge is gone from her knee joints and they are rubbing bone on bone.

My arthritic knees and I sympathize!!

Thanks NOW I gotta go.

Pain is the universe telling you, “You’re not dead yet.”

Again …

And again …

And again …

And again …

…

Just curious—why would childbirth affect one’s knees?

Sweet dreams to you, Woman.
