Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 18, 2019

Let’s get ready to ruuuuUUUUMBLE!

…aaaaand CUE the vacuum cleaner!

TV Tropes describes this as “Funny Background Event”. Teehee, poor Lupin.

Puck has the whistle! Elvis, watch your six!

This reminds me so much of a conversation I had this evening, when I brought our pair of cats a couple of new toys. The toys met with approval, but each one wanted the toy the other was currently playing with. As I told my brother, because cats, that’s why. And because siblings (they’re littermates). Then I come here and Puck and Elvis are doing the cat/“sibling” routine with a wonderfully oblivious Lupin.

I was very impressed with Lupin’s ability to stay on topic until I realized that, as he’s deaf, he’s unaware of the wrestling behind him (and is mercifully spared Elvis’ reign of whistle terror) until the other two bump into him!

Love the ongoing whistle joke, but only because I can’t hear it either!

And be sure to have a stash of bacon.

In the first panel, Puck and Elvis look like angels flying by!

In the last panel, Lupin! What did you do to them? And how did you close up your ear like that?

Don’t worry, Lupin. You’ll get dragged into it.

Love the way Elvis keeps blowing the whistle even while he’s running.

Elvis, you know Lupin has vowed to fight you any time, anywhere! Outside the nursery door, under the baby’s crib, on the baby’s bookcase, YOU NAME IT!

In the last panel, are those 2 black dots above Puck’s pants suspenders?

Let’s all sing

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!

So Puck can go whistle for it?

Wrestling for realzies.

In panels one and two – is Elvis running so fast he’s losing fur from around his neck? Yet he’s still got a fanged hold on the whistle. And look at his eyes and eyebrows in panel two. A teensy bit of concern from our Siamese?

Lupin toe beans!

…As the news special dissolves into chaos. Quick Burt, put up the Slide:

Puck still has angry red eyes and Lupin has “Stop it!” toe beans.

The orderly emergency preparations for the vacuum alert has collapsed into chaos!

CN News, how dare you?! Wrestling is for everyone!

Whistle in the house

Let your whistle carry

Drown out the vac’s roar

And wrestle on the floor

Things can get so scary.

…….

Warn both your best friends

Running helter-skelter

The vacuum’s coming now

Now it’s time to find

A place to go and shelter

Whistle clear and strong

Nothing can go wrong

Every warning that I send

I’m helping to defend,

I will not abandon you, my precious friends.

…….

So grab some food and hide

Heed the whistle’s warning

Stay inside the box,

Underneath the couch

Wait until it’s morning,

Every signal that I send

Until the vacuum ends, I’m there

I’ll whistle in the house

And both of you will know

I care.

Andrew Lloyd Weber: Whistle Down the Wind

At first Elvis and his raincoat and the chain on the whistle made him look like he was wearing a dress with pearls.

Good morning andTGIF, orbsters and orbabies! So will tomorrow’s strip be a royal rumble, or will the dreaded vacuum make an appearance and scatter our heroes to the four winds?

THIS HAS BEEN A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY VACUUM ALERT SYSTEM…HAD THIS BEEN A REAL EMERGENCY, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO THE NEAREST HIDING SPOTS…

Sending prayers of comfort, love, healing & peace to Mrs Skykey & to SheMc & Jan. Also sending out a prayer for all of our BCN family who are in pain, and suffering and who have already been affected by the weather & those about to be affected. Please stay safe, you are a very precious and necessary part of our family!

I wish us all a wonderful, peaceful weekend to help heal all pains, emotional and physical. Stay warm, stay dry, stay safe! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

I am beyond ecstatic. Huge snow storm heading this way, 12-20 inches predicted. Unfortunately, it will more than likely cancel the concert i’m in tomorrow night. guess i can’t have everything.

To those who don’t like snow, i hope you are safe and warm and outside the snow’s parameters…

Isn’t that Buzzy Mouse the boys are fighting over ?

Their antics reminds of the old SCTV show and their News segments, with ‘Floyd Robertson and Earl Camembert’!! :)

Yes, Lupin is deaf.

Not used to seeing Lupin be the one to try to break up the fight. Cue the 3-way brawl!

Someday I will get a picture of Ricky flying from the couch back to the second shelf of the pole, that day I will figure out how to share it with you folks.

…is this going to initiate Freeze Tag Combat?!!??…

Great, now someone is going to have to vacuum up the fight fur.

The number 1 rule of cat fight: All cats must be involved or there will be heck to pay. Number 2 rule of cat fight: see rule number 1.

So, I’m guessing Puck sent Elvis to The Whistle Stop Cafe (“Fried Green Tomatoes” reference).

Boys. Boys!

Elvis’ cute tongue in panel 3…Aww…
