Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for December 06, 2015

The Santa Pretending Cats Association?

How did Oliver turn into Woof? (I know, I know).

Ronnie, Last Rose: I replied at the end of yesterday’s posts.

DennisThe “drizzle” is coming down in buckets right now. lol

RonnieGood luck with “the dating scene” I hope you find happiness.I’ve been married 53 1/2 years. It’s nice to have someone.

You have a smudge on your nose there……….

Oh good, he’s safe, the nice fireman got him out!

All I want for Christmas is Yooouuu. Or sardines.

“It might be an ugly Christmas Sweater on you, but on me, its fabulous”

,Just wait and see what I left you for a present"

“Extra Large. How many time do I gotta tell ya”

“Is she takin’ pictures of us?” “Who cares, we got Egg Nog didn’t we?” “Hey, my Egg Nog doesn’t have rum in it, No fair”

Santa needs to use magic to get down a chimney. …….Unfortunately some idiots have died trying to break into somewhere via the chimney not realizing it is never a straight drop plus the damper could be closed.

Poor Oliver!!!!!! The SPCA could be the end of our Annie and the warehouse story… As a child I knew Santa couldn’t fit in our chimney so I unlocked all the living and dining room windows when my parents weren’t looking.

In a slightly frantic mode this morning as we are having a big party for Paul’s birthday later today. Thankfully, his brother offered his house, as there is NO WAY I could fit 15 – 20 people into our apartment! So, I am deviling eggs right now. I made a pan of shortbread last night to bring and it’s almost half gone. My hubby is a cookie monster!!!!

My best memories of Christmas as a child were of the cats running wild through the wrapping paper on the floor. I don’t remember any of the gifts but I remember the entire living room floor covered in ripped off wrapping paper and ribbon and our 3 cats running at full speed underneath. All we could see was paper flying straight up and ribbons disappearing from sight.

I remember tinsel and garland hairballs, so shiny and festive!

Be glad you don’t get this coming down your chimney-lucky Aussies.

A old, abandoned warehouse chimney — could be lots of secrets in there. miscreant1 – what a great memory. Cats definitely make life better. Last Rose – super great pictures today. Cats in sweaters are so expressive. Love the one in the chimney

Brought the new fosters home yesterday. They’re still in the shower but used the litter box during the night. Will post a picture later.

I have to agree with Gweedo,,pewter is more expensive than lead, and it wasn’t pure lead, but mixed with something else to make is “dangly” so it would hang nicely on the tree branches. I can’t remember now what my co-worker told me many years ago, but he was a chemist, and would have known, I’m guessing.

You have out done yourself with your picture postings the last couple of days. They are excellent and enjoyable. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into posting them for the pleasure we all get out of them,

Oliver….after your bath you MUST share with us the wondrous sights inside the chimley…chumley….er, chimney. Now go answer the door for the SPCA.

How can I contact Graham Harrop one on one?

Lead-out lawed now of course.

Mimi and her son, Smudge

They came out this morning for petties. They are very sweet.

Hello, T.C. family….

Just to let y’all know I’m still here, but not much time to leave comments. Since my hip has pretty much healed as well as i’ts going to,I have been busier than a one armed wall-paper hanger! Been working for a Pipeline Contractor in town, maintaining their equipment. AND in my SPARE time, (ha, ha..) still working on cars at home! I missed not being able to have the time to “chat” with the T.C family, as I’m usually in bed by 7pm during the week…But, when I get up in the morning, I have enough coffee in me to resemble this:

We leave the wrapping paper on the floor for the cats to play in at least until after New Year’s, we just have to be careful to step around it.

WHAT IS THAT? A prehistoric lizard of some sort?

I always say “busier than a cat in a litter box”!!

Santa must be using the sleigh to mail some early packages………..

OK, it;‘s midnight and no new strip,,,,,,,,I’m going to bed.

3:45 and no Ten Cats!!! Back to bed…

Where are the cats?

9:19 do you know where your 10 cats are?

It’s now eight and a half hours past time for the new Monday strip. 16:36 on Monday afternoon here in Kwa-Zulu Natal. I’m missing my kitties and will have to log in tomorrow morning in the hopes of finding an update.

8:30 AM – wake up, Graham!!

It’s 10:25AM here in Barrie and no Ten Cats Monday strip!! Weeping, wailing, howling – also, waiting with bated breath!

I’m guessing maybe Graham lost power in the wind storm last night, mine flickered off/on a few times but fortunately stayed on. And it’s supposed to gust even worse later today

Don’t forget, folks! The Gilligan’s Island theme can be sung to the tune of Stairway To Heaven, and likely you can find it by looking up Dr. Demento and Stairway To Gilligan’s Island.

I need my Ten Cats fix, ASAP!

ACK!!!! It’s 11:51am EST and no Ten Cats.

@ Dry and Dusty….thanks…will try it.

I’m sitting here at !!:00 am PST and I have an itchy pic posting picture, well here goes:

“Can this get any worse?” “What do you mean, I’m dressed as a freakin’ tree!”

“No I will not stand up so you can take mi picture for your ’tunpid Christmas Card”

“Very Good Boy will end in 3….2….1

“That sardine better be forthcoming, that’s all I’m sayin’”

Maybe Pastis from PBS could fill in for Graham until power is back. That would be interesting.

Home again and it’s now 3:34pm EST. No TC. Withdrawal hasn’t yet begun…cuppa tea may help.

@LROS: Those red and green ‘angry’ cats were frightening… especially the wrinkled one without hair.

I was hoping today’s strip would be posted on his facebook page, but no luck. Sigh, looks like we wait until tomorrow???

5:25pm Central and no Graham or cats. CHESSSSNEY!!!

Well, it’s 6:22 EST, and still no new comic.poor Graham must be without power for a long time…i hope he’s OK. I love how all my friends are still commenting and posting such nice pics. Thanks, guys—-you make me smile!

I very much missed the cats today.

Vintage Illustration.

I is not happy!

Thank you for the laughter you have brought to me. This has been a horrid week already for me. Keep me in your prayers if you have the time. I know the light at the end of the tunnel is out there somewhere.

I’s not happy either!

And it’s starting to snow! SIGH!

Hmmm, I hope Graham is alright! >^oo^<

I have been assuming that strips are submitted a few weeks in advance and that it’s a mix up with the web site rather than the cartoonist when strips aren’t published on time. Anyone know how it works at gocomics?

I just don’t know what to do with myself. No Ten Cats (gasp, cough, cry, wail) .

I’m glad to see that so many came looking for Graham and Ten Cats. He’s loved and we’re here to show him.

No, I’m just guessing based on other reports of power outages. I DO hope that it’s the problem…otherwise, it could be Graham’s health, and I hope he * is* well!Medical emergencies can strike anyone at anytime…I know, I’ve had heart attacks. You’re fine, and suddenly, you are NOT fine.

I was merely hoping that it was something repairable (power-wise) than a sudden illness.Be well, Graham, and you too, Eldo
