Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 24, 2021

Elvis is stunned!

Lupin is intrigued!

Love the deep, rich colors in today’s strip.

It’s the Blue Screen of Elvis! Try pushing all those upturned toe-bean buttons to see if one is “Restart”.

All it needs now is a red dot…

They have the finest crinkle plastic that money can buy! Is that a tiny dollar sign I see in the first panel.?

What is Elvis doing in the last panel?

Elvis going in to paralysis of expected ecstasy…

Pucky’s ears are happy ears!

Wow that’s some powerful $17.99 plastic. It hit Elvis harder than catnip.

I can never get my cats interested in any cat toy that I have purchased over the years for a sustainable length of time (except scratching posts which are not technically toys), however something as simple as a brown paper bag from Publix or the plastic ring from a gallon of milk seem to really entertain the felines!

Oh-Cat-Homa

At Tommy’s Ranch

Tommy: Looks like we’ve just about got everything for the barbecue. Have Natasha and Burt come back yet?

Tabitha: I think I heard them come by just now.

Enter Burt and Natasha

Tommy: Did you manage to get everything on the shopping list?

Burt: Yes. There’s plenty of food for both mice and cats.

Natasha: It’s kind of like this: (Kansas City)

Everything’s ready for the mice and kitties

Everyone who has fur should really know,

We got a wheel of cheese as big as you can please!

But how we got it no one’s gonna know!

…….

Burt: We have plenty of ham for each and every kitty!

And lots of seeds and salads for us all!

Eat healthy food or not,

It all will hit the spot,

Whether you want candy of plenty of cole slaw!

…….

You can have a cup of herbal tea or maybe lemonade,

That’s about as fur as we can go (Yes, Sir!)

That’s about as fur as we can go!

…….

Tabitha: There’s plenty of red gum drops for mice and kitties!

I’ve caught as many as there can be found,

If you happen to come late, don’t worry, it’s still great,

There will still be plenty to go around!

Figs: If your taste runs to mild chili,

Or hot as you can stand, no problem there,

My special recipe will make sure that all are pleased,

Except for Uncle Elvis, I declare!

…….

Natasha: If anyone goes hungry it’s not our fault,

We’ve gone about as far as we can go!

All: We’ve gone about as fur as we can go!

I’m trying to work out how to make a piano out of bats.

I’ll smile all day thinking of a piano made of bats!

I hate the sound of the highest icicle sounding keys on the far right side of a keyboard. Bats is a perfect description, Pucky!

Gent, did you notice I said on Sunday that I was interested in seeing more of your argument? It was rather late, so you might have missed it.

Elvis is so adorable today!

Elvis hind toe beans!

Aah, Elvis!

If Lupin is deaf and can’t hear the crinkles, how does he hear the people and other cats?

CN ad: "Cats try the new Crinkle Tunnel! It’s louder, cracklier, and sounds more like bats than ever! It feels “Real Weird” on your paws, too! Hurry and get yours today!"

Get on in there, Lupin. Give it a feel.

Crinkle toys for cats and crinkle toys for babies (my son had some when he was tiny) – coincidence??? I think not! :)

My kids had more toys than I did growing up.

My cats have more toys than my kids growing up.

A new cat house is available on Amazon, and I concede. A new tinkle-ball on Chewy, and I surrender. A line must be drawn…this far and no further! Let the word go out from this time and place…There will be NO crinkle-tunnels in this house! SO IT IS SAID, SO IT IS WRITTEN!

The crinkle tunnel will be here Thursday, according to Amazon.

Excellent review, Puck!

I don’t think my baby would like it, she doesn’t seem to like noise :(

Elvis looks absolutely gobsmacked!

These guys would get along well with the Addams Family, no?

Crinkle bells crinkle bells

Crinkles all the ways

Oh, what pun it is to sway

In a crinkly tunnel way

Your monthly reminder that Lupin is, in fact, deaf. ;)

Because Tweedle loves a good paper bag, I got him and his sibs a crinkle tunnel. He got in it once. Covey ignored it out of sheer good taste, and Mooshu was afraid of the little hanging fuzzy ball at the end.

I think we should have more “real weird” things in the world. Like spinach feta pizza, I could do with more of that in my life.

Could Elvis actually be (gulp) pleased?

Try putting the box the Crinkle Tunnel came in next to the Crinkle Tunnel, and see what happens.

The crinkle tunnel has proven too much for Elvis.

Rest in peace, Charlie Watts, and thank you for providing the beat to some of the fantastic music I grew up with.

Crinkle tunnel is the Favorite in our house. Mercutio never liked it, but both Portia and Viola play in, on, around, below, and above it. I completely get the last panel—looks like every night in my living room, lol.

We have a beige crinkle tunnel. No bell, but there is a hole in the middle. Achilles loved it as a kitten.

Asrialfeeple here with a special report. After having surgety of the chest, DO NOT SNEEZE!!!!!!

Did Ms. Dunn stick her head into the tunnel to find out what it sounds like to the cats?

Wonder how it would work if one end was attached to the top of the stairs?

I think Elbiff has fallen over as it is all to much for him. Or do I have it wrong?

did Elvis faint?

What else would we possibly need – Cats and good company!

Lol, the crinkle tunnel has overwhelmed Elvis, and he’s barely even touched it.

What a nice crinkle tunnel.
