Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 04, 2018

LOL, Lupin! He’s reminding me of when Blossom goes under the covers but her tail is still visible.

Such brave nappers! Keep calm and nap on!

Oh, hell to the yes! “Rain is a symphony” Amen, brother Puck, ever shall it be. (And don’t think we missed the rain cloud coffee mug on the headboard…)

The others might be napping but Lupin looks like he’s up to something. Or is he just picking out a different nap spot?

“I hear a symphony, a tender melody.Ah it goes on and on and on and on …”

Is there an extra tail in the last panel?

“Rhapsody in the raaaain, rhapsody in the raaain..”

Come on Baby Girl – watch the mow, mows and do what they do.

Got to love Buzzy Mouse curled up on Puck’s tail.

On the west coast of the United States, the afternoon light was dimming. Birds were returning to their nests and dogs walked in circles before laying down on “their spot”. Cats moved through picket fences and joined together in back yards or between garages or in the gaps that were supposedly fixed but still allow passage into basements. And on a long, hot stretch of cinder blocks, a lone grey tabby followed her shadow. Time to leave.

“You ok, kitten?” Megan knew the answer, but also knew it was good to ask the question. It would bring focus back to them, and what needed to be done. “Oh, yeah. Yeah. You saw the kids?” Megan chuckled; “You come from good stock.” Then Tre-C laughed; “You know the people kept one of her last litter, right?” “Uh-huh. ‘Braveheart’. I’d love to hear the story of how he got THAT name.” And Tre-C and Megan had a good laugh and reflected on the day. “I spent some time with Jet and her daughter DeeDee. They talk in very good terms about the old Man and the Woman. They’d take you back without question.” Tre-C gave this a good, long thought. “I know. And it’s tempting. But I’m ready for more. Whatever you want to throw at me.” Megan just nodded. So, together- as they had come- two cats, otherwise unnoticed and worthy of no more than a passing glance to the unknowing eye, walked down the concrete driveway.

Cats can’t talk, of course. Any human will tell you that. But there is a look a cat has that can convey an idea without having to say a word. In this case, the message was; “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be back,” and that was the look Tre-C gave to the old Man and the Woman as she and Megan walked away…

Meanwhile, Burt bravely puts up footers and heroically fights the draw of the bed.

Buzzy Mouse naps too. Sleep on brave little mouse.

Panel 2. Are Puck’s whiskers showing or is it static “hat head” from the rain gear? Normally I’d go with hat head but rain is usually cuts down the static.

And sunshine and rain makes a beautiful rainbow.

Years ago, I had a friend with a cat name Sunshine. When it was little, it liked to curl up on her human’s shoulder, so the human would say “Sunshine’s on my shoulder.” (And only old, intense John Denver fans will get THAT joke!)

That is one humongous snail.

What’s the yellow thing by Pucky in the first two panels?

Is the snail napping, too?

That’s the cutest I’ve ever seen Elvis, and I love the raincloud coffee mug.

I hope they’re listening to “Love, Rain O’er Me” and not “Rainy Day Women #’s 12 and 35.”

Though napping, Elvis stays stationed next to the baby. He is always on duty <3

The Baby is still wide awake.

And when I lived in England and Japan, I found I got tired of symphonies.

Still no rain for us in the BC lower mainland. We were supposed to get showers today but it was just cloudy in the am, no drops fell. And now it’s supposed to be hot and sunny again starting Sunday.

The big problem is all the thunderstorms in the rest of the province setting off new fires in the tinder dry regions. Our fires aren’t as bad as last year or anywhere near as bad as California’s but there’s over 450 of them scattered across the province, a good dose of rain would help us all out. Ontario’s been badly hit this year too, I hope they get a break soon too

Speaking from Phoenix, not only is sunshine one note, it’s a note played at top volume on a bent vuvuzela.

All that’s needed for the complete picture is a Robber Mouse sneaking around.

Sweet philosophical Puck. :-)(-: (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((huge engulfing bear hugs, orb bumps and boops lifting up Shaunnmunn’s orb)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

But where is fluffy chicken???

What date did skykey’s story start? I missed a bunch and need to start over from the beginning.

Philosophical Pucky is best Pucky…

Our rain only lasted through the morning. By afternoon it was sunny again.

Someone is going to be awake all night….

“You and me and rain on the roof, Caught up in a summer shower… Maybe we’ll be caught for hours”

. . . we are on Day #3 of our mob surveillance of our book case. They have been taking turns on both sides. At first, we thought it was a bug, though now, we have to accept the possibility that it could be a mouse? While, I admire their dedication to duty, I’m just hoping that it isn’t a mouse, that I will find some early morning at my bedroom door. Eeew! :p

How can I be sure,

When the weather’s constantly changing,

How can I be sure,

Where to nap with you?

Whenever I,

Whenever I see the sunny rays,

I want to nap,

And sleep away all the day!

How do I know?

Whether it is fair or rainy,

The nap can be subject to changing,

Curl up or stretch out depends.

When ever I,

Whenever I see the rain come down,

A symphony,

Makes its way throughout the town!

Maybe I’ll just

Curl up in bed,

With the blankets over my head,

It’s so lovely,

Sleeping with all of my

Family, wishing the day wouldn’t end!

How can I be sure?

I really, really want to nap!

I really, really want to nap, Oh!

How’s the weather?

As long as the family’s together,

I love it, I love it forever!

Safe in bed’s where I will be found!

How can I be sure?

When the weather’s constantly changing,

How can I be sure?

I am sure with you!

The Rascals: How Can I Be Sure?

The Baby is awake. The coffee mug is rainy. Even the penguin is there.

What a lovely strip today, just like everyday. But nice to see families nap together. On another note, it is nice to see posts from all other States and countries and know how others are doing. Hope everyone is doing as well as they can.

Rain is when the cats release all their stored, excess snoozons. It’s easier then because the higher humidity reduces static, and they can travel farther and faster.

My favorite Pucky quote!

Even if The woman wasn’t tired, 3 cats piled on and purring is a sedative I don’t care who you are. No one can resist that kind of kitty drug.

“Their nap is our nap”….I’m definitely embroidering that on a pillow

Those babies are so sweet napping. All of them, furry and otherwise.

This nap is their nap, this nap is my nap,

From California to the New York island

From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters

This nap was made for you and me

All the talk of songs about rain has had a tune bouncing around in my brain all day. It has finally come to me & boy, does it show my age: The Rain, The Park & Other Things, by the Cowsills.

Sniff! This is the sweetest thing EVER.

We’ve had a ton of rain in my area over the past few months … more than I’ve ever seen. Good for vegetation and so on, but I miss the sun.

Are there words written on the white blanket(sheet?) covering Lupin’s backside?

If sunshine is one note and rain is a symphony, a hurricane is a Wagnerian opera.
