I’m not Lupin’s greatest fan, but I hope people won’t start blaming him if that plant falls off the table.
It is a law of nature that, if a glass, cup, or other breakable item is left close to the edge of a table or counter, that item will, of its own accord, shuffle to the edge of the table and fling itself into the abyss.
Lupin is clearly trying to interrupt this process.
Merriam-Webster defines ‘de-escalate’ as “to decrease in extent, volume, or scope”. In the case of Tre-C, Megan and Kip, three Grasshoppers each served to “de-escalate” the hostile situation between Tre-C and Kip. In fact, Tre-C was asking Kip questions more in line with a daughter wanting to get to know her father, rather than wanting to eviscerate him. And Kip was acting like a dad. Well, he did almost shoot himself in the foot by starting his first question; “So, how is the ol..”, but he caught himself. “…mom. How is your mom?” Tre-C grinned and tilted her head to one side; “How long has it been since you saw her?” Kip thought for a moment; “I guess a couple of months. Maybe a little more…” Megan was watching BCN (yes, she was checking out Lupin), but on that exchange she turned one ear their way. She thought to herself, only half jokingly; “I wonder where the fire alarm is?” Tre-C was restrained, however; “Well, you might be interested in knowing I met my new brother and sisters when I was there.” Kip’s reaction to this news surprised Tre-C..
I went out of town for a few days. Ember’s ancestors would have gone out, killed a mouse, and left it for me at the door as a “welcome home” gift. But Ember is an indoor cat, so instead she started chewing a wire she found. This one happened to be connected to the back of my computer. Voila, one dead mouse waiting for me when I came home.
Good morning and happy Hump Day, orbsters and orbabies. Yum Yum did not sing to me this morning, and I was able to sleep until 7:30. Nothing scheduled for today, so I am going to do a few odds and ends that need to be done for the weekend. Paul is going to veg out and we will try not to aggravate each other too much.
I was watching a western when the bad guy ordered whisky. The barkeep slid the bottle and glass 6 feet down the bar to him. I know who should play barkeep the next time a BCN western arc comes along.
If someone already posted this and I missed it sorry for the repeat. Some exiting news for long time fans waiting for more cast to be introduced: https://www.facebook.com/GeorgiaDunnStudio/photos/a.447790771933015.101864.445708208807938/2028085693903507/?type=3&theater
My experience matches that of Fiona D. Cats do no digest grass or other plants. They eat them to clear their digestive system. Grass in; hairball or worse out soon after.
My ex-wife was tired of Fluffer T Cat eating her plants, so when she found a barrel cactus, she brought it home and felt victorious. We went out to dinner and upon return, she knew she was beaten. F.T. Cat had taken several large bites out of it just to show her it wasn’t going to stop him.

We love our cats. Truly, we do. But is there a “catter” out there who has NOT experienced this, or something like it? ;-)

Aw, Lupin removed his lobster bib. Oh well, guess I hear the vacuum starting up.

What is that smudge on the back of Lupin’s notes?

Does Lupin prefer the tender roots? Or is he treating his plant like an oyster?
cat19632001 over 6 years ago
Cats are totally not responsible for any breakage due to breakables being left close to the edge of anything.
That’s a thing. It’s in the cat/servant contract. Check your copy before making any accusations or screaming.

Love how Lupin is behaving like a real cat in panel five.

I love this strip. Exactly how most of my cats have behaved around indoor plants!
Going to the orthopedist again today. Please keep your fingers crossed that things are still going well with my broken ankle.

This storyline explains why I have no inside plants for my cats to devour.

Would n’t it be great if we could take everyone outside (harnessed of course) to demolish all the weeds in our garden??

The world is round and I can prove it. If it was flat cats would have knocked everything off.

I’d like to see more of the stenciling (I think that’s what it’s called, arts/crafts not my strong suit) on the counter.

Looks like Lupin is taking the term “BREAKING cat” seriously.

I have lots of plants in my house, but my cat(Marcus) has never been interested. He does eat plants outside though.

I wanted to leave my comment to science… So cats knocking things over explained:

Essentially? They don’t really know. LOL
But for entertainment… cats knocking things over.
