Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 20, 2023

I always love seeing Lupin sign.

Perhaps the “almost asleep” is key here. More than likely, Ora Zella was dozing and dreaming about the big capture.

Both kittens and “small cats” are known for falling asleep in mid-anything.

Burt, with the world class snark, again! What a delicious way to go? If they were my chocolate chocolate chip cookies…..That would give death by chocolate a whole new meaning!

I hear nothing, I see nothing. Wait a minute,is Lupin channeling Sgt, Schultz?

Santa doesn’t come if you’re awake, Ora Zella!

OT: Update on Trouble

I thought Lupin would’ve dosed himself with some coffee before the Santa stakeout. Of course, he’d be too busy running across the ceiling to actually catch Santa, but he’d be awake.

If Burt is recording, he should have the evidence we need.

ASL and toe beans, what a combo!

I wonder if OraZella heard or saw something in the last panel or if it is just a continuation of her wondering where Santa is from the first panel.

Poor Lupin, awakened by cookies.

The Attack of the Killer Christmas Cookies???

Cats is natural sneaky ambush predators who is takes you by surprise. You is never knows until cat pounces upon you. And yet you is not able to catches one shape shifting alien cat sneaking in from chimney? You is disappointment for cat kind!

Count the cookies. If Santa did come, there would be missing cookies.

Yes, Burt. That would be a delicious way to go! Mine would be, Trader Joe’s Windmill cookies…Sigh!

The coloring of Ora Z’s nightgown reminds me of Crabtree and Evelyn. My wife hated the formaldehyde smell of the Medical Lab and would make little sachets of potpourri for it/me.

The English themed store had some windows with mannequin children in night gowns that looked like this, I think even the bottom trim, and of course, the green, white, with red piping coloring. That was a long time ago.

Mid week cliffhanger!

I was actually wondering if Mags or Molepolean (and their contingents) might be stopping by to spread Christmas cheer.

I think it would be a hoot if Ora Zella never caught Santa, but he left a tiny doll of himself in her jar as proof he was there. And to show he has a sense of humor! :D

OT:

Death by Christmas cookie, there are worse ways to go.

iuuuuuuuuuhbbbbbb Smudge wanted to put his two cents’ worth in this morning.

The mystery continues. This does make me wonder if Lupin could read Santa’s whiskers.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Iggy: Cousin Ziggy and the crew of the Red Planet Spider should be here in time for the Yule feast. I should tell Thomios there may be extra guests at the feast.

Thomios: No problem. I’m sure the Procurers will give us extra supplies from We Know Not Where.

Alice-Ata: Count on it. And of course we don’t know about getting cheese and ham when we go to the Alumni Yule Party at Punn State this week.

Puckmosis: I thought you never revealed your sources.

Violet-Ifa: But we can leave hints. Anyway, we’ve got this. Or we’ll get this.

Thomios: Anyone know where Ora Z is? I have some potatoes I need shredded for hash browns.

Puck: I think she’s at Mandy and Lynn’s Luthier studio at the oPyramid (Formerly the You Call This a Pyramid).

Iggy: I’ll have to go there. I have a musical piece using percussion for her group Mallets Towards None.

Hate to ask…but exactly where are the Robber Mice !!!

Little cat is so sweet in her trust!!

Happy Elvis “gotcha day”

Oh, I saw Elvis dressed as Santa Claus

In the living room late last night.

I knew it must be him

Santa is a very slim.

And his sideburns where much darker

Than the whiskers on his chin.

Oh, I saw Elvis dressed as Santa Claus

Hiding under that beard of snowy white.

Then I saw his whiskers slip,

When he snuck a little cat nip.

Oh, I saw Elvis dressed as Santa Claus

Oh you can imagine my surprise,

When I saw through his disguise.

Elvis dressed as Santa Claus last night.

Well, I saw Elvis dressed as Santa Claus

In the living room late last night.

He was sitting in the mans chair;

Puck was pulling on his hair.

And I heard him say, “Now don’t be cruel,

You’ll get a teddy bear.”

Oh, I saw Elvis dressed as Santa Claus

Hiding underneath that beard of snowy white.

Well it makes me wanna sing

Elvis is still the King.

Elvis dressed as Santa Claus last night.

Elvis here, Elvis there, Elvis everywhere!

I heard him say, “Now don’t be cruel,

You’ll get a teddy bear.”

This parallels my dream of falling into a Doritos storage vat and having to eat my way out.

Interesting that Goldie and Lupin are wearing nightclothes with matching spots and colors. Yet another example that they have a lot despite traditionally being rivals. ;)

For those of you who need a little extra holiday cheer, do an internet search for “Bangor savings bank kitten commercial” – it popped up on Facebook and it is absolutely adorable.

I wouldn’t mind going out with cookies on me. Preferably chocolate chip.

Did Lupin eat Santa?

A thought: maybe it’s Tommy?

OT: Beautiful Creatures

Sometimes, I almost forget that Lupin is deaf. It doesn’t really come up very often, and then I’m like “Oh yeah.”

Continuing to send purrayers and Power of the Paw to Trouble and all who care for him !

For those who don’t follow Doodletown, check out today’s strip. It sort of reminds me of the racoon in Burt’s coffee mug.

What if Santa got REALLY small… then nobody can see him!

A comment by Elliot B C Ronnie on Georgia’s FB page

“Santa is a quantum being. His probabilistic nature means he can bein every house at the same time on Christmas. This is why it’s vitally important noone sees him. If he’s observedthe probabilities collapse and only one house gets presents.”

O.T. – hey Denny, any updates from Shirins about Nushi???

OT: The Grinch
