Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 20, 2018

Curse you, Woman! Do you want other cats to think the Man hasn’t been claimed?!

But she’s not wiping down all the hair left on The Man’s back, under his plaid shirt!

Now the Man is doomed!

Well, there goes the boy’s gossip column.

accessories (read, kitty hair) can bring any ordinary outfit to life. he’s got three different looks right there (black, white, and fussy-pants)

Before we both retired, my supervisor had cats and was the most persnickety person about her clothes that I ever knew. Every morning she would get to the office, wrap her hand in tape and “tthhrrt” for 20 minutes before she started work. I probably had cat hair as well but just didn’t care. Our boss had cats so he had it on him. The two project managers at the other end out the trailer both had cats. I’m betting there was cat hair in the air in our trailer.

My Mom keeps a lint roller in her car for exactly this reason. As a bonus, the cat never has to witness her removing all the cat hair.

He’s wearing light colored pants! Quick, Puck, ankle reinforcement STAT!

Et tu woman? Do you not realize that stripping the man’s shirt of cat hair is like stripping the wedding ring right off his left hand? You claim him with gold. The boys claim him with their fur!

Poor Lupin- his best efforts laid waste at the hands of a duck. Er, for a handful of duck. Tape, I mean. And, for the record… who are these ducks and why do the feel the need to interfere?

Decades ago, my mother bought lint rollers by the case- we had a gorgeous Angora cat and… wait for it… A Samoyed Husky. Dad was a machinist, and once said he could never show up to work looking like a six-foot snowball.

So that beautiful, sunlit morning saw them leave the deli; a large, one might even say imposing, long-hair Tuxedo, and a lean Silver Tabby who, at the head was nearlyas tall as the Tux but looked much less imposing. “…looks mean NOTHING” Megan had often said, and Tre-C would come to prove that euphemism in time. But for now,they were two ordinary cats. Two cats who were going to walk to Los Angeles. In a couple of minutes.

“Down this alley,” Megan advised, “and keep looking straight ahead.” “Ok” Tre-C wouldplay along, but was curious; was Megan baiting a trap? Or was this the beginning of a test?“Now in five paces, turn to your right and just keep walking.” Tre-C paused; “INTO the wall?”Megan hissed; “No questions. Follow me- NOW!” Then, incredibly- impossibly- Megan walked up to the side of that brick building… and disappeared. And Tre-C followed. And that was the moment life changed for Tre-C. That was the time she would always remember as the time she graduated from being just a cat…

Happy Furday! Brushes at the ready! Set! Go!

Tons of ankle reinforcement to all orbsters and their orbabies! May your day-before-the-weekend go smooth as cream! Extra fur & cream to our orbsters in pain, sorrow, worrying, or just down-in-the-dumps. The Mega Orb is here for you all!

Love and blessings!!! >^.,.^<

Poor Lupin, all that hard work down the drain. And I see the Man knows how to assume the tape cleaning position :)

I’ve done the pat down for my Mum many a time especially when she’d be going off to work. Me I don’t care if there’s cat hairs on my clothes unless I’m going to something somber like a memorial or funeral then I defuzz.

And now, for something completely different… My bed meowed at me this morning. Woke me up, as a matter of fact. I have a platform bed with a total of six drawers- two on each side and two at the foot. And, apparently, enough room between the headboard and mattress for even a large kitty to slip in. So at 5:45 this morning my bed began to coo; “mmmree… prrow…” and I, like the Bobbys in that Goodies episode, was completely baffled. Until I started pulling the drawers out one by one, eventually exposing this little pink nose. “MmROWW” she exclaimed, which I knew was “is breakfast ready?”, so I marched off to the kitchen as she cleaned herself in preparation (it would not be proper to dine with dirty paws..).

All that good work ruined!

Ah Boys … maybe next time a little less hair on the Man’s shirt might escape the Woman’s eagle eye and tape fisted intervention.

Lupin’s almost got an Elvis “whiney face” today.

Don’t let Puck see the Man before he heads off to work or Puck will be so worried and distressed all day.

Love that first panel!

“So much cat hair!”

“Tape Fist” just sounds like the villainous name of a mortal cat enemy.

The best laid plans of cats on man this time went astray.

Don’t worry boys, your ad campaign is only being edited!

“Taping off” – which the Woman is doing – is a time-honored military ritual.

Lupin’s expression is priceless—Edvard Munch should have painted him.

Hair on your clothes proves that you are a good provider.

The anguish in poor Lupin’s face is more than I can bear. Woman, please take pity on him, he worked so hard!! would you duct tape daVinci’s Mona Lisa?!! And speaking of daVinci, he once said “The smallest feline is a masterpiece”.

I read it through 3 times before i discovered the small white arrows on the shirt in the first panel pointing to the cat hair, great detail Ms Georgia!!

Humans just don’t appreciate cat art. I was sure that at 3 o’clock in the morning our cats were making sculptures in the litter box.

I love this new arc !

Does anyone know how to deal with cat hair getting into a computer mouse? I don’t think "tape fist’ would work.

Philistines.

Cat Eye for the Employed Guy on Front Page of Go Comics! Congrats Georgia Dunn!

If I’m not wearing the latest in cat hair, I feel naked.

Oh that’s rude. The Boy’s can only shed so fast.

When I showed up for a date, she came out wearing a black jersey dress. It was noticeably covered in cat fur. I pulled my lint roller out of my luggage and “rolled her” all over until the fur was gone. She had some interesting curves.

How many people have lived with cats so long that, at least once a day, those people have to groom themselves with their tongues as best they can?

Good afternoon and happy Friday/TGIF, orbsters and orbabies. I am pleased to announce that Paul has officially passed the halfway point in his radiation and chemo treatments. The downside is that he is getting progressively more tired and is beginning to have real difficulty swallowing. I have lots of soft foods stored in, along with plenty of Boost and Ensure, so he won’t go hungry.

From my experience, lint rollers work pretty well for those situations, too.

Well I guess the boys’ day has been destroyed. So much work and gone in the rip of fist tape.

The art critic tape fist has judged the art to be unworthy……. What do art critics know anyway…….. Art is in the eye of the beholder…….

Betrayal most foul!

Yes, that’s us before my husband goes to work. Between the black & white cat, the white terrier and the sable corgi, we have all the basic colors and different types of pet hair to deal with.
