Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 05, 2021

Fan?? But what kind of fan? A delicate, feminine hand-held one, or an electric one?

Then bite him back, boys.

Puck, Natasha will defend you!

Natasha’s already hard at work poking at potential Lupins!

Let sleeping cats lie…but no, it’s going to be fan out and poke!

“Don’t confuse his love of chaos with helpfulness.”

I’m finding this incredibly profound, but I’m not sure why.

Somebody’s gonna get chomped no matter what. Robin would agree with this.

Apparently, it’s not a good idea to startle Lupin awake. Good to know.

It’s almost as though Lupin’s known for biting?

I’m not surprised to hear that Lupin nips.

The mouse shoulda said, “what if he’s in this and he eats me?”

Pucky toe beans!

That’s right, Puck. Lupin could be in the towel strata.

Poor Lupin. He’s probably totally exhausted from zooming. No wonder he’d nip if he was sleeping that deeply.

Ah, now I see how helpful Natasha’s stick may be. Still, I’m looking for random opportunities to say, “I’m gonna use a stick!”

Also, Toe Beeeeeeans!!! (Many opportunities for toe beans but they appear only in the final paw, er, panel.)

Or one that watches sports.

As warned in Phantom of the Opera: Raise your paws to the level of your eyes.

Maybe Natasha has a point with the stick…..

It’s National Cartoonist’s Day! All praise, Georgia!!!

For the last time (I hope): look.in.the.bathroom.sink!!!

“Don’t mistake his love of chaos for helpfulness.” is a great line. Decades ago, I worked in a book store at the old Crestwood Mall (the mall does not even exist anymore). We had a manager who purposely created chaos in the store to have the adrenaline rush of trying to fix it. This guy was extremely tiresome.

On a side note, except for the minuscule pay and a chaos-inducing manager, working in a book store was great. You could take any book home to read. In fact, you were encouraged to do so to tell customers about them. For a serious reader, it was heaven, much like working in a library would be.

When the world makes you all zoomie

Gotta throw off all your duds and boogie down

If you can’t hang with the ceilin’

Then there ain’t no room for you in this part of town

‘Cause he’s the chaos kitty night and day

Livin’ crazy, that’s the only way

So tonight, gotta bap that owl lamp down off the shelf

And just enjoy yourself

Groove, let the madness that is Lupin get into you

Life ain’t so bad at all

If you live it off the wall

Life ain’t so bad at all (Live life off the wall)

Live your life off the wall (Blend in with the wall)

You can shout out all you want to

But he ain’t gonna hear you all gettin’ loud

So just wave your pointy stick so proud

Ain’t no one who’s gonna make you put it down

‘Cause she’s the party robber night and day

Livin’ happy, that’s the only way

So tonight, gotta slow dance with that owl lamp on the shelf

And just enjoy yourself (Come on, and)

Groove, let the madness that is Lupin get into you

Life ain’t so bad at all

As a twirly disco ball

Lupin’s right after all (Live life off the wall)

Live your life off the wall (Live it off the wall)

[Rod Temperton – Off the Wall/Michael Jackson]

so, he’s a bitey boy when he is sleeping invisibly?

Love of chaos? So Lupin is Chaotic Neutral?

(As I type this, I realize all cats are Chaotic Neutral. Maybe the “CN” on the mic means more than just Cat News.)

Ive realized that most of our zoomies are unnecessary.

Why does Lupin need to be found? If he is just sleeping somewhere, what is the urgency?

Do unto others. Before, if possible.

I found Lupin! Lupin’s on the cover of breaking cat news! ;D

Oh, come on! When has Lupin ever bitten anyone?

I just can’t imagine Lupin biting a friend unless provoked beyond ALL reason and as a last resort. If he were inclined to bite anyone, my first candidate would be Goldie oe Elvis, but NEVER Puck

O/T : It’s Cinco de Mayo. Do you celebrate?

“Good Forey!

You drank wine of the maguey

until you lost your head:

ate pipián and tamalli,

tlemolito with xumiles,

and tired yourself of mextlapiles

in your tacos of tlaxcalli."

–Guillermo Prieto

Yep, he’s one of those towels. Just push him off.

Hubby went to take in the feeders last night and momma and three cubs were taking them down for him. He retrieved them this morning and refilled them for the daytime ‘guests’, the birds and squirrels. I got up about 0100A and the sensor garage light was on and there were two bears checking the empty feeders that momma and the three cubs left, empty of course. I guess we are Bear Central for now.

I thought Elvis was the bitey one. Or does Lupin only bite other cats?

I just had a dream last night on this story arc. I don’t know about the first two panels, in the dream I was only looking at the last couple of panels. The “third” panel all you could see was the tops of a couple of the cats’ heads, looked like Goldie and Puck, with one of them pointing a paw up at something. The “fourth” panel zoomed in on a shelf with a football helmet on it. The helmet was set up kinda like it oughta be siting on someone’s head and curled up inside was a naked Lupin, you could just barely see his shadowed face and a little ear as he was snoozing off the zoomies.

When I got up all I could think was “Why would Georgia draw a football helmet on a shelf for Lupin to curl up in? That doesn’t fit the decor of the apartment.” Was left wondering what today’s strip would be after that.

“what if hes one of those marshmallows and bites me?” probably not him!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

There is some real concern that Lupin will bite!

It would seem a thread with two “tigers” in it disappeared right when I wanted to answer a question about italics. Curiouser and curiouser.

If you accidentally stumble across a hidden Lupin and he bites you, just swat him in the face five times in rapid succession.

No worries, Puck, you’ll be fine.

And that’s why Natasha has the stick!

I though Elvis was the bitey one.

Aha! I suspect there is a cause behind this story arc. If so, Georgia has done a fabulous job. May 7 is “No Pants Day”. Invisible Lupin fits the bill.

I sense a commen theme here.
