Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 12, 2022

I immediately started counting lava lamps. Found all 8!

Aww I see that Gutter got his purple lava lamp! I count 8 in the Raccoon’s lair.

Love those little feet! And of course the sign is such a wonderful finishing touch!

Glamour Hammer has the avocado ball!

Raccoon toe beans in a bathtub! And another beautiful Georgia Dunn night sky!

But looks like them poor critters not finds any foods.

I’m thinking of the name, “Maximum Overkill” as a replacement name for Spot. And call him Max for short.

Just before my bath, he came into the bathroom for some quality Mom time. After he got settled, I asked him would he like to be called Max? He didn’t hesitate, said “Meow!” right away.

It is a cat’s peragative(?) to ignore their name, but at least they Do know it.

From this day forward, Mum’Zee’s first son of the year 2021 (the Spring Edition) shall be named Maximum Overkill and Max for short. He is in the process of stalking the mole or vole or whatever that burrowing yard creature is!

Max’s twin sister shall remain, Her Most Royal Mental Highness, Little Sweetie!

So Let It Be Said! So Let It be Done!

I’m changing my name to Glamour Hammer. Fits me perfectly!

So, someone snuck in a Lava lamp despite the warning?

Sigh…..a deep feeling of contentment pervades the raccoon home.

Surprised that no one has mentioned racoon toebeans, or there another term for racoons??

All of those pennants hanging up along the back wall look a lot like decorations we’ve seen in the Big Pink House.

Bless this mess indeed! Suddenly I wonder if I’m actually a raccoon with an identity crisis. But alas, I’m rather lacking in lava lamps.

They have an incredible mess.

It’s amazing how useful trash can be.

Ahhhh, a warm and welcoming home! I’m with the raccoons and their cheerful clutter; stark minimalism leaves me cold….literally and figuratively. Plus recycle not landfill.

And the whisk!! Yay! (I double checked to make sure I still had mine. For a moment I thought maybe these bandits were the same ones that lived in my back yard.)

Beyond the lamps, I went back and checked and found all the treasures from the week! Classic Georgia.

So the neighbor was a Bless this Mess Person, but changed his mind? Perhaps he and the Woman would have gotten along (or did and we didn’t get to see it), but either way his trash is the perfect treasure for the raccoons.

Meanwhile Back on the Nile

Sophititi: Dobes, would you like to join us for tonight’s feast?

Adobe Style: Oh, what are you having?

Soph: We’re having fish from the Water Cat Brothers catch today, and for you he’s making an acorn cake.

Adobe Style: Sounds delicious. I wonder how Thomios found acorns in the desert.

Sophititi: Need you ask?

Adobe Style: I could ask, but I don’t think I’ll get an answer.

They just couldn’t resist that purple lava lamp!

I wonder if that plastic bathtub might be Dr. Scuttles old kiddie pool?

They all look soooo happy and content. Like a good Christmas morning.

Last place I worked in downtown Calgary, a couple of drunks somehow got in after hours and stole an umbrella and a lava lamp. Nothing else. Laptops and other valuables were left behind.

I see lamps of green

Red lava, too

Warmin’ the room

With blobs of goo

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue

While stars shine bright

O’er the tight blessed mess

In one peaceful night

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colors of the pennants

So pretty hangin’ high

Reflect on masked faces

Of raccoons resting nigh

I see Agnes telling us

’Bout the busy crew

She’s got me saying

“I love you”

I hear raccoons sigh

‘Neath lamps’ cozy glow

They save all the

Treasures we do throw

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Oh yeah

- Douglas George, Thiele Bob – What A Wonderful World

Bless this mess, indeed! looks like my place. (Smudge, get the (*^$^& off the keyboard before I lose my temper and murderize you!!)

Home is where the stuff is…

O.T. TV Disaster!

Raccoon Recycling.

Them raccoons has a lot of lava lamps.

Okay. So it not glamor in American English? How come you eats u for other words but not this one? Intrigued minds would likes to knows.

You don’t get a name like “Glamour Hammer” without earning it.

Ah, I’m so glad he got to keep his purple lava lamp

I recycle everything I can (local metal scrap yard helps!), but before I recycle, I try to repurpose. Although I know I’m a river otter changeling, perhaps there was a raccoon in the woodpile …

I wish my bless-ed mess were that neat!

I hope they let those lava lamps cool down completely before moving them. That’s why you see so few old lava lamps.

I want that on my wall!!

I still think Glamour Hammer would be great for a rock band.

Nice display of hind feet.

This just makes me wish it was Christmastime again T__T

I’m sure this is old info, but I just can’t figure out the halo/crown of the leader racoon.

O.T. – Update on the Fire TV problem.

And in the fine print we can see or read it says “For it shall help us successfully start our next war and come off looking like the one’s who were attacked.”

Latest tweet from Dr. Scuttles (posted yesterday): Hello, new unexpected followers. Pleasure to have you here! I am a snapping turtle and leading cryptid expert for the Northeast and beyond. This Twitter is where I share my vast cryptid and mysterious events knowledge. Also occasional potato chip appreciation.

If only real-life raccoons were this social! They actually only group together as families, and even then only for 2-3 years, a group of Mama, this years’ kits, and last years’ kits.

With actual social tribes, they’d be well on their way to technological sentience, ready to take over from us when we kill ourselves off or drop our civilization into the trashpit.

I do count 7 lava lamps! I love the details, Georgia!
