Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 28, 2019

In my experience? Foxes do act more like cats. You may not be far off the mark, Lupin. ;)

SPOILER SPACE

While it’s an easy mistake to make . . . STILL NOT A CAT.

Lupin has three different pictures, and both coat colors.

I like the little heart on the second fox picture – and I’m very curious about it! Who is this special fox? Does Lupin have a backyard friend? Maybe it’s a famous TV or movie fox he’s a fan of – any suggestions? Given Lupin’s Cat of Adventure ways, my first guess is Disney’s “Robin Hood”. (Lupin would probably like Robin’s hat!)

What is Natasha carrying off?

Puck, don’t whisper to Lupin, it’s rude!

I can’t decide which fox picture is the best. They’re both beautifully drawn.

The Plant of Many Teeth will soon be toothless!

Someone give that cat a picture of a cat!

Love how Natasha ‘bounces over’ his ears.

And, Lupin? Just because you’re not natural enemies, doesn’t mean you’re family.

Lupin has not been paying attention in history class.

My late ginger Somali floof was pretty darn foxy-looking.♥

Lupin’s non-plussed eyebrows in panel 5. Giggle.

Come, Lupin! We must do rrrreeeeeesssseeeeeaaaarrrrrcccchhhh!!

Perhaps we can get a comment from the Fox News reporters.

Charts and diagrams! We need charts, Puck.

Earlier this week I saw a gorgeous dog fox trotting thru the still dry grasses of our prairie meadow. He looked sleek and healthy so he must have had a good winter. Looked like he was heading from our woods to the woods behind the house across the road. I felt so lucky to have looked out the window at that moment; in 12 years I have seen a fox just three times.

Does Lupin wish he was a Fox?

A fox is a dog running CatOS.

Poor confused Lupin. Although having recently seen an Arctic fox bounding around, I can understand why Lupin feels kinship.

so who saw the savage chickens comic strip for today? I think it may be a reference to BCN but i cant be sure

I feel rather sorry for Lupin, not being able to find a big cat to channel. I think he would do very well if he tried a snow leopard.

On the home front, I have to haul Paul out of bed, kicking and screaming, so we can go get blood work done this morning.

Why are the robber mice steeling plant teeth?

Those fox drawings look more like cats. No wonder poor Lupin’s confused. Not his fault!

When I was a wee thing I thought foxes were the product of dog + cat.

Leave it to the cat whose name roughly means “Wolfish” to be confused about what’s a wild cat and what’s a wild dog.

Fox: Dog hardware running on Cat software.

Love it when mice are in the background!

Did Lupin discover he may have been adopted? He may want to consult 19 and Me.

With a name like Lupin, I’d think he held an affinity for wolves rather than foxes. Or should we start calling him Vulpin?

And there goes Buzzy Mouse purloined once again by the Robber Mice!

What is that mouse stealing in panel four?

My mom had a rescue Siberian Husky from a puppy mill who was the coloring and size of a really big fox…one day, she and the rest of the pack escaped the yard (actually, this was practically a weekly occurrence) and she got separated from the rest, who I tracked down easily (they were on the playground, happily shagging balls for a practicing team). We called the police to let them know she was missing, and they responded with “Hey we have a report here that might be her” (yeah, our pack was a little (in)famous with the local fuzz). Turns out an elderly neighbor had called in to report “a really big fox” resting in her rose garden!

From what I’ve read, Foxes are closer related to felines than canines.

There are Russians who have domesticated foxes. They make great pets.

Foxes are cat software running on dog hardware.

Someone is stealing their cat toy’s! (Panel 4)

My dear panda cat friend, Roli Poli, had to be put to sleep today.  Last August, he was diagnosed with diabetes.  The last two days, he had become lethargic and wasn’t eating.  I took him into the vet today, and they found that his diabetes had evolved into another kind that would eventually cause damage to both the liver and the kidneys.  A treatment would’ve involved injecting him with glucose 12 times a day.  He would’ve had to have gone to an animal hospital and the treatment would’ve been over $1,000 — and it still might not have worked.Cats are supposed to be curious, and that was Roli Poli through and through.  He had to explore every inch of my trailer several times over.  Many times, he made his way to the top of the entertainment center, a place where he liked to survey his surroundings and nap.  His favorite toys were milk jug rings,  Every now and then, he and Clayton (his older brother, who is still with me and in apparent good health) liked to go outside.  I’d go with them to make sure they didn’t wander too far away.  Their favorite thing outside was to go under the other trailers near mine.The two of them got along remarkably well.  They’d have their occasional wrestling matches, but it also was not unusual to find them curled up against each on a chair or in their cat bed, grooming each other and sharing naps.I only had Roli Poli for 11 years, the shortest I’ve had any cat that passed because of natural causes.  (I once had one cat that lived to be 20.)  And, to me, one of the rules of life is that, no matter how long you have any pet, it isn’t long enough.Right now, Clayton is stretched out on my computer desk in front of my monitor.  I don’t think he’s missed Roli yet.  I don’t look forward to the time when he will realize he’s gone.In two weeks, Roli will be cremated and his ashes put into an urn.  He will spend his years with me for however many I have left myself.You were a good boy, Roli Poli.  I miss you.

Stay on top of it Burt, he needs a little help.

Why is being foxy a good thing and being catty a bad thing?

Too much adventure has affected the Cat of Adventure.

The question is “What Does the Fox Say?” If you are unfamiliar, look it up on youtube.

Foxes would make good pets. A cross between a dog and a cat. I love foxes.

Lupin just saw the mouse, or did he?

I think it’s thoroughly appropriate for Lupin, the group Rougue and trickster to have a fox as his spirit animal.

Why would Natasha try to go unseen? The cats are their friends, it wouldn’t be a crime to rob cactus spikes, right?

Meanwhile, there goes Natasha, tiptoeing past in the background!

Foxes have always looked like half cat/half dog to me.
