Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 30, 2018

Deny, deny, deny. If it’s not on film, it didn’t happe— oh, yes the ink on the fur is a bit of a give away.

Oh Lupin, there are some things that snow white kitties just can’t get away with! You will just have to wear this one for awhile.

I love this one! Caught red-pawed and still denying it. Lupin takes after Elvis. :D

Own it Lupin. You’ve been busted.

Nice try, Lupin, but there’s proof on your face.

Many years ago when our first cats, George and Gracie, were about 8 weeks old they got into a red marker. Instead of white cats we had pink cats! And then they got their first bath.

As long as he didn’t get it on his white dress shirt …

No going invisible for you for a long time, Lupin.

He’s innocent! These unjust accusations have given poor Lupin a case of the blues.

Holy Cats! Lupin’s alter ego is Rorschach?

Tre-C quickly went back to the office, picked up the glove and she and Megan ran off down the street. “Stop at each intersection,” Megan suggested. “Then listen for the noise of the truck or cans banging. I don’t see them straight ahead, so they likely turned left or right. Hopefully they’ve only gone a little further in their route. And chew on the fingers of that glove as you run. Chew through, like you really intend to eat it!” Tre-C wanted to acknowledge Megan, but all that came out was “Rrrff”. “Note to self..” She thought, “never talk with your mouth full. Well, at least the glove’s cotton. Feels like someone’s already been chewing on it.” ==========They hadn’t searched but a few blocks when Megan alerted Tre-C; “To the left, Kitten- about two blocks. See it?” Tre-C didn’t even reply, she just ran in that direction and pulled up right behind Megan. They had caught up with the refuse truck in the residential neighborhood near Jimmy’s deli. The two cats were crouched under a hedge on the lawn the truck was parked in front of. The driver was shouting something about the gates being locked and that they needed to move on. “Looks like they’re stopped for a minute- this is our chance. Hang on to the glove tight, Kitten. Take the two small fingers and I’ll take the larger ones. See if we can rip it down the middle.” “Then?” “We pull the elastic opening apart and I stick my head where the human hand goes” “Got it- like a pullover sweater to cover your head.” Megan nodded; “If we can fit it right, all that’ll show will be my nose, eyes and front off my mouth.” Tr-C added; “Hopefully, all you’ll need is a pinhole, but that’ll be good insurance against spray.” Megan turned her head sharply; “Look- the homeowner’s opening the gate and bringing his trash out. Gotta roll.”

So far, despite his obsession with pens, Sammy has not had an “incident” like Lupin … sorry Lupin, “alleged incident” :)

BWAHAHAHA!!!! I love this one! Wondered when we’d see it. Lupin was just trying to write down his thoughts. It’s not his fault if the pen attacked., This just in: When Pens Attack!

Dunn, Dunn, DUNN – the Woman is talking to the v-e-t!

Why are all these comments about Lupin getting into a pen? Despite the slanderous story intro by the temporary news anchor, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE to suggest that Lupin got into a pen! He said so himself!

Be careful if you use fountain pens, which actually have liquid ink. I’m guessing that Lupin got “into” some sort of felt tip marker. A ballpoint would just end up under the couch for twenty years.

This reminds me of a very old clip from America’s Funniest Home Videos. The little boy with chocolate all over his face, vehemently denying that he ate the chocolate! :D

Lupin looks like a little boy denying he ate the blueberry pie.

Can’t help but wonder who will groom a cat covered in ink. Elvis might get some satisfaction out of this.

Van job today!

Toledo to Corvallis!

It’s going to be in the low 60’s and overcast, so it could be a comfortable day over in the valley.

And, its a nice drive.

It’s the woman fault! She should put her art supplies away!

Yup. Her fault. No doubt.

XD

I bet that darn pen leaped up and jumped on Lupin as he was walking by the pen that was lying in wait for Lupin to walk by…./s

This might explain why Lupin records his ideas on tape and has Puck write them down later…he’s dyspenxic

Lupin, honey… you got into a pen. It’s written all over your face.

Off topic: Georgia posted on the BCN Facebook that she cannot reprint the wonderful “Tilly” Halloween special as it won’t fit the newspaper format. While that’s the bad news, the good news to me is that could mean a brand new Halloween special if Georgia has time! Meanwhile, the original is safely in the archives on the BCN Website. Go to Past Reports, scroll down to the bottom for the specials. Warning, doing this can be addictive! http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/breaking-cat-news-halloween-special-part-one/

I guess Puck survived his encounter with the Toddler’s germs?

I found out with Jasper 2 weeks after I got him, don’t bother to call the vet. I called the emergency vet (it was a Sunday) when Jasper ate an SOS pad. I was told to call animal poison control since they couldn’t see me for 3 hours (they had a poor baby on the table). I just wanted to know if he needed to see a vet. I called poison control and was immediately put on hold with a recording that said this call will cost you $65.00 just in case no one here knows that. Yes I was willing to pay, I only had him 2 weeks at that point I sure felt horrible. After 10 minutes on hold I got the recording stating price again and after 17 minutes on hold and getting the same recording I finally remembered that Jasper has a Home Again microchip and emergency vet care is included. So I hung up and called Home Again. Yup they answered on the first ring and we got him straightened out and he didn’t need to go to the vet and I wasn’t on terminal hold. Jasper had a vet appointment the next day anyway so I wasn’t too worried once I talked to Home Again. I have learned over the years however that the answer you will get from the vet’s office is bring them in. They cannot/will not diagnose over the phone.

We just never knew before now that you were a two-toned fur cat, Lupin.

It occurs to me that Puck is pretty immune to this particular form of problem. And yet he doesn’t have the Adventure Cat drive. What a missed opportunity for the universe!

No evidence, huh Lupin? Ok, try becoming invisible then.

Lupin a real cat’s cat. Deny it, give a hard look, then clam up.

Hopefully, Georgia will be able to get this problem resolved by talking to the vet on the phone. If Lupin has to go in…well, kitties don’t necessarily travel well.

Felt-tip, marker or fountain? If fountain, what brand of ink. (It does make a difference.)

Check out this FB video from Georgia – she’s also doing another on Sat 3pm EDT in the US https://www.facebook.com/GeorgiaDunnStudio/videos/672589336458792/

I posted this yesterday, but Cleementine reminded me that it was EDT time in the US not EST so I deleted the post, corrected and reposted and now the replies are gone. I’m sorry, I had no idea that would happen :(

Right, Lupin. No evidence whatsoever. Why, innocence is written all over your face.

That’s why my cats prefer a typewriter. I had a manual typewriter that my Siamese would use and jam up all the keys. I bought an IBM Selectric in hopes of revealing his literary talents. No soap. His plots were thin with a lot of trash talk. However, contrary to the prevailing meme, his spelling was impeccable.
