I just realized this is the most time Bea’s got to spend with Goldie. Also Elvis accept your little girl is growing up. This also comes off like something that really happened with one of the new kitties, simply transplanted to bea.
Play on his vanity, Elvis. Tell him kitten food is designed to pack on the pounds for a growing baby. Lupin wouldn’t want to outgrow that lovely brown suit.
We have to defend Monroe’s food as well. Honor wants his kibble and Achilles wants his gooshyfood, especially since it has cheese on top to get him to eat it in the first place.
My cat used to sample my two big dogs, dog food, all the time…while they were still eating it! But the dogs needed permission if they wanted to sample his cat food!
My older cat was always getting in to the kitten food. He put on some weight. Thankfully after the kitten was transitioned to adult food, he lost the weight he put on.
Good for Beatrix trying to defuse things in panel 4. She knows how far Elvis would go to protect her. Meanwhile, Goldie is no longer involved and just watching the boys’ nonsense from the sideline. It is a fortunate position.
We have had to put bowls on the counter or even on top of the refrigerator to keep them from falling into the wrong paws. Especially when it’s fresh tuna, salmon or turkey.
OT from Georgia: "You know how sometimes the comic eerily predicts or coincides with real life events?Trevor and his Woman are heading to Maine today! I had no idea when I wrote this strip and handed it in a few weeks ago. Likewise, she had no idea I had written this storyline until she read the comic this afternoon on her travels. How about that?? She sent me this photo and gave me permission to share it with all of you! Hello Trev! Hello Trev’s Woman! Safe travels and have a fun trip! "
Colette used to nudge kitten Raz aside but as Raz grew to outweigh her by a couple of pounds, Colette found her nudges ignored. I swear they get identical cat food in identical bowls. Cats!
I do have a photo Johnny Depp sneaking a dead mouse away from Kirby after he was “through with it”. Kirby was a hunter who ate only kibble.
This happens all the time with us. Kitten Poppy preferred the over-11 Senior food. The one on kidney diet wants regular diet. And everyone wants cystitis diet while only one needs it.
So familiar to everyone who has multiple cats. Everyone plus the dog samples everyone else. Last night a scuffle broke out near the dog’s dual water and food stand and the water went all over the floor. After a long day of doctor appts for hubs with a hospital admission as a finale, I lost it and yelled at all of them individually and collectively. None were impressed.
II’m still laughing. Local dirtbag. Burt should interject here local dirtbag being held at bay by baby girl/mommy protector. Our little baby girl doesn’t need any protecting does she. Bea is like my cats, Hey dog brother can I taste your food? You have venison and salmon? I only have herring and duck.
Local Siamese doesn’t pay attention and has no right to yell. Bea certainly looked happy to share with Lupin in the first panel. Goldie looked to be trying a bite while dirt bag Siamese is being mean to Lupin. And Bea makes it clear in the last panel she shares the dog’s food. Doubt Trevor cares if Bea tries his food.
One of our cats loves our foster kittens and spends hours with them. The other one only wants their food. I have to keep tossing his big cat behind O-U-T of the kitten room.
OT: Good news. We may have become too boring for the Big Nate trolls. I just checked and there was a discussion of how boring Big Nate’s comments are so they should move to another comic, BCN and Calvin and Hobbes were suggested and this comment was made “No trust me Luann is about 1000 times better for reactions. I spammed it and got like 50 ppl pi sssd. Breaking cat news isn’t good anymore bc they’ve learned to ignore trolls”
Papa-Cat Elvis’s overprotective nature is glow(er)ing through! It’s adorable how he takes care of Bea, but she’s old enough and decisive enough to know she wants to share with Lupin. And he did ask nicely. Of course Bea’s still a kitten, but Elvis should let her make her own decisions if she’s not being bullied into them.

With Lupin, there’s no such thing as, “just a taste.”
Le'letha Premium Member over 1 year ago
Yep. Battle lines were drawn before this conversation even started.
Love the detail that Beatrix has a bowl, and the Big Pink House cats have plates, as per the “whisker fatigue” Sunday strip some time ago!

Goldie approves of Elvis’ characterisation of Lupin. Elvis, of course, is in protector-dad mode.

Kitten food tastes different, Elvis. It has to be checked. And Lupin asked, so it’s hardly theft.

Good on you Dad Cat ❤ (ミゝᆽ╹ミ) Yeah, I know you’re curious, Lupin, but leave Bea’s food alone, dude. You’ve got your own.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
Crinkle Crab Drum Major: Good job, everyone. Take a plankton break and be back in fifteen minutes.
Lupinium: Clawson, it’s good to see you.
Clawson: Lupinium, long time no sea. What brings you to the Very Good Pyramid?
Lupinium: I have my advanced tumbling class here.
Clawson: You know, I’d love to incorporate your tumblers in a drill routine. Do you think you could get together and plan one?
Lupinium: No problem. And I have just the song.
Performed by Diana Ross: Upside Down
Upside down the cats are tumbling
They make it look instinctively
Around and round they’re tumbling
…….
Upside down, we are tumbling
In and out and round and round
Upside down, we are tumbling
In and out and round and round
…….
We make our way across the field
To the rhythm of the crabs’ crinkles
We love every move that we do
As high in the air we leap, we love to dance and run
We love to show off to you!
…….
Upside down, we are tumbling
In and out and round and round
Upside down, we are tumbling
In and out and round and round

Oh, Elvis. At least Lupin’s being polite about it, unlike when he samples your food!

Elvis would definitely steal a loaf of bread to feed a hungry kitten.

She’ll always be Elvis’ baby, though. <3
