Thank you Snarkim. Your translation removes a bit of stress from one of my favorite comics.

@KitJeans, “GN” stands for “Gatos Noticias,” Spanish for Cat News.

I so love seeing Elvis getting all puffed up over a strange cat!

Elvis is like the pufferfish of cats.

Okay, I know that we are dealing with a comic strip (a wonderful one, I will add), and this isn’t real life (really?), but if Lupin is deaf (which I know he is), why is he able to communicate with Elvis on the other floor and yet not hear the gato right next to him? He even tells the gato that he is deaf. Yeah, I know that I’m reading way too much into this. For the record, I am being silly with this question. I guess this is more of a rhetorical question. I am not serious at all about how a deaf cat can hear the others from a different part of the house. Now did I confuse everybody?

Many puffy tails! (Puck’s the exception, since he recognizes Sir Figaro’s voice)
SunflowerGirl100 about 8 years ago
Teleprompter seems right plus both Puck and Elvis use sign language with him plus he can read their whiskers, the cat equivalent of reading lips, I guess. Now I agree I don’t think any of these work in the laundry room at the moment unless Elvis or Puck is signing from the top of the laundry chute. Actually, since we’re being logical here, the only way Elvis knows there’s a strange cat behind Lupin is if he is peering down the laundry chute and therefore he could be signing the warning or Lupin is reading his whiskers.

“Jokies or Realzies?” BEST LINE LUPIN HAS EVER SAID!!

Elvis makes my skin hurt when he poufs out like that! I keep waiting for things to start flying off. Of him, that is. Not me.
dogday Premium Member about 8 years ago
It looks to me like Lupin is using the sign for “deaf.” Clever kitty!
BeniHanna6 Premium Member about 8 years ago
Never knew Lupin was deaf, should have because we had a white cat with one blue eye and one brown eye and he was stone deaf.

Actually Lupin has green eyes. He became deaf when he was a kitten. You can read more about it on the BCN web site. I had an all white cat with blue eyes who was deaf and she was a very good kitty.

“Jokies or Realzies?” haha
songbird44 Premium Member about 8 years ago
My only quibble with the Spanish is that Figaro moved from the formal “usted” to the familiar “tú” awfully quickly. I’m not a native speaker, but that seems like a social faux pas (paw?) to me. They don’t even know each other’s names yet!

lupin is like my dog, mischevious, deaf, and likes meeting new friends
