Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 21, 2016

Poor Elvis… He looks like he’s about to double in size…

I’m like The Man; I cannot resist rubbing a kitty’s floofy belly!

The Man (see how he mocks us) mowing the yard, and then the ultimate betrayal, belly rubs to the intruder! Elvis just Cannot Stand It! Another winner, Georgia!

Jealous much?

First appearance of poofy Elvis, I think—but by no means the last one.

Cats are funny creatures-I have four that love belly rubs and two that will scratch your hand off if you so much as touch their belly!

I agree. The resident cats for which we are current slaves all love tummy rubs. However, a fair number of fosters who have passed through have, sometimes not so politely, declined them.

Poor Elvis! Every time I see him like this he looks ready to sprain something big time. But it sure is good to see Tommy!. I’m hoping Georgia does the story of his rescue of Elvis sometime this winter. Georgia, you listenin’??? ;)

The neighbor’s cat “Tank” loves to have his head scratched but, if he turns over on his back, do NOT put your hand in the meat grinder.

Jingle Bell Katt doesn’t seem to mind having her tummy rubbed or having the brush used on her when she is doing the “kitty cuteness roll” on the rug. Other times, she is more defensive of her tummy. It’s all in the kitty body language.

That last panel is so fricking adorable!

Kinda looks like the man has as a goiter flourishing on his neck…

Poor Elvis – so fuzzy and fizzy!!

@DogDay – Georgia’s not calling the sequence here, save that they’re running in the same order as they originally did on the BCN website. I don’t recall for sure, but it seems likely that Tommy-Elvis meeting will be this winter.(unless of course there’s a breakthrough and we get NEW material. I hope the newspaper pitch goes well)

I have never seen Elvis head hair so big. Maybe his head is about to go explody.I love Tommy. Of all the cats I would pick him to be my cat.It’s sad when an animal lover like myself can’t afford to own a cat or dog.I have discovered the sweetness of pet rats. The also need vet care sometimes, to get neutered if need be, but not as often and not quite as expensive as others.Rat Facts; they don’t have an odor, only if you don’t clean their cage out, Females smell a bit like 7-up.Females are busier and fun to watch and will clean your nails and teeth. (Rodentists) Males become cuddlier lap potatoes.The cannot burp or vomit.They don’t carry disease like the myths. Truth is, they can’t even Get rabies, much less carry it.They died from the plague just like humans, it was the Fleas.Rats are extremely smart, want to be with you whenever, and as long as you give them love and attention and done tease them or hold them by their tails, they will LOVE YOU Dearly.

Her Most Serene Highness, Mistress Of All She Surveys, Resident Deity of this household, refuses tummy rubs while She is awake, even if She is rolling on Her back. However, when She is asleep on Her back, we can stroke Her tummy without fear of waking Her.
