You’re so thoroughly invested in your anger towards Goldie that you are reluctant to abandon it, even though your outrage is proving fruitless and futile. Your behavior towards her has been ungentlemanly. Now you are becoming paranoid to even suggest the people have been keeping the kibble for themselves. Don’t let anger and jealousy consume you. Open up your eyes and your mind and your heart. It’s time to “pay it forward.”
Yes, Lupin. The humans were off gobbling up excess cat kibble all this time, and only produced it for Goldie because they like her better than you. OK?
I keep hoping that this will lead into Elvis & Puck relating the story of when Lupin joined the household and became anchor cat. Georgia has longed teased that she has that story in waiting for the proper time.
Jonny Cat: Welcome back to “Creature Jeopardy” with your host Felix the Cat.
Felix: Natasha, you control the board. Select!
Natasha: “They Harsh Your Mellow” for $200.
Felix: This dour creature relentlessly predicts only failure and demise for our beloved BCN characters as well as for everyone else.
Natasha (a regular reader of BCN comments): who is the “Debbie Downer from Down Under”?
Felix: Yes, we’ll accept that. Although it’s often hard to take. Go again.
Natasha: same category, $400.
Felix: This BCN character recently went from fun as “@#*1” to fun as a hang nail.
Goldie buzzes in: Lupin!
Felix: Your answer must be in the form of a question.
Goldie: OK. “Why, Lupin, why??”
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the figments of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual creatures, living or dead, or actual events is purely intentional.
This seems like a response sometimes seen when the youngest kid in a family is no longer the youngest. He’s accustomed to things being a certain way and change like that can be hard. It takes time to adjust to that. Everyone handles change differently. I appreciate the “realness” shown here. Things that upset people/cats aren’t always rational.
I think it may be time for an intervention. Ordinarily I would say that Lupin just needs some extra cuddles but he is becoming irrational. Maybe the rational cats could invite him to the laundry room so Tabitha can remind him what good manners are. It’s too bad he can’t get out; I would be inclined to send him to the barn to chill with Bert for a bit.
Lupin, why don’t you back up and give Goldie a second chance? She may be different, but think of how you felt when you moved in with Elvis and Puck. She’s going through the same thing, and maybe you can be more considerate of that. And Puck, thank you for standing up for Goldie, I’m sure she appreciates it!
Quick question for Goldie: I’ve noticed your eyes change color sometimes in the comic. Is this just a printing error or is it intentional?
if Lupin were given too much to eat he’d just throw it up anyway…..unless he’s the sort that can moderate himself but he’s not displaying that behavior with this series….
Please, Lupin, stop pretending you didn’t already know they had extra kibble. All three of you know that. And do I recall correctly that it was you who forced them to have to lock up the extra kibble after you broke into the bag.
Having just added a kitten to the pack, I can say that he is the one sharing all the food. Apparently only kitten food is good enough for the girls now and cat chow is no longer a valid type of food. The kitten little eat the adult food but the girls but the old ladies won’t. Pretty soon everyone will be in for a rude awakening when kitten food is no longer an option.
Poor defeated Puck, acknowledging that a calm, friendly, rational explanation is not doing one bit of good where Lupin is concerned. And poor Goldie too; she looks sad in the last panel.
Goldie is a darling. ❀ I love the way she says “dude” like a cool cat! :) I sure have missed you all ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Orbsters)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Life threw me a real curve ball, and that’s putting it lightly. I’m alright though. I’m currently living in New Zealand for the time being, taking a sabbatical. Husband and I are getting divorced. There’s just way too much drama in there that I’d rather not go into. A great many invaluable life lessons have been learned and I take away both precious memories and wisdom from the past five years. All will be well.

Puck’d like to give Goldie a home
And fill it up with love
Share food and toys and gossip too
And chase showers of red dots from above
He’d like to teach L & G to live
in perfect harmony
He’d like to hold Goldie in his arms
And keep her company
He’d like to see everyone for once
All standing paw in paw (cat & mouse)
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the house
(That’s the song Puck hears)

Petula Clark would advise Lupin: Don’t Sleep in the Subway
You act like a troll over our cat food bowls
‘Cause you don’t want Ms Goldie to take one
You stand on your ground,
But more food can be found,
Lighten up, you will find that it’s more fun!
…….
You could be making another new friend,
So it is time to let this standoff end!
…….
Don’t get in a huff, oh Lupin,
Don’t let your tail go poofy, but
Don’t get in a huff, oh Lupin,
Sit down to dine
Forget your foolish pride,
It’s gonna be fine,
You know we all love you the same!
