Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 06, 2020

Whooosh-Thump: the sound of a block of snow falling off the roof.

Now that song’s going through my head. Can’t wait to see what Kitty Katz does with it.

Robber mouse makes a great cheerleader!

I love Pucky’s posture in the last panel, also that the Cocoa Index has both tiny marshmallows and whipped cream.♥

It’s all a matter of, “I’m SO happy that I’m not our there.”

The cocoa index in a Hallmark movie is a substitute for foreplay.

Lightning in a snowstorm?!?! They are having bad weather! Thank goodness everyone had plenty of warning and prepared like heck!

Another snow day. I wish I didn’t have to get out in it.

Everybody dance—I mean, everybody knead now!

Thanks for that, Natasha. I’m going to have that song stuck in my head now.

Awww … Elvis is making biscuits!

I didn’t know Elvis was so “kneady”

Like Jim Cantore, I love thunder snow (but not as much as he does). We haven’t had that here in a long time. But we did once have something that caused a bright green glow outside. It was so weird that I declined to investigate, but we are way too far south for the aurora borealis.

Cocoa? Coffee is better in cold weather, I believe.

Milk, dark chocolate, and a few spoonfuls of unsweetened cocoa powder … heat gently until nicely thickened … top hot chocolate with several large, toasted marshmallows (I have a gas range) … cover with as much whipped cream as possible …

“Gallons of lightning” reminded me of a physics book that said it would be theoretically possible to go to the store and buy a pound of red light.

Anyone want to take a stab at finishing, or continuing, the chyron? There’s that one little lonely “C” at the end…

He kneads to be kneaded.

Lightning? Thundersnow? Having experienced a few of those, they need a bigger mug.

Everyone kneads to know how much I love this comic strip! : )

Are those fishies on Puck’s sweater?

Elvis claws and a swishing Elvis tail!

Yay useful infographics!

A rare look of pure bliss from Elvis, Natasha singing, “The Cocoa Index”… what’s not to love on today’s strip???

A chart for all the chart fan-antics. Love this one but our winter so far has been sadly lacking in tiny marshmallow days this year.

One of Puck’s best charts!

“Everybody Knead Now” is a play on song lyrics. I am racking my brain trying to figure this out because it is triggering a memory from the very early 80’s.

Elvis looks so happy to be making biscuits on the big fuzzy blanket! And Puck with a chart, to add to the overall bliss.

Off topic, after almost 5 hours of Spongebob Squarepants yesterday, my mind will never be the same again.

Off camera and comfy together under covers, Pucky and Goldie giggle and croon a sweet duet:

Kitties, / Kitties who knead People,

Have the luckiest People in the world

We’re kitties, kneading our own People

Not letting our kitty pride / Hide all the knead inside…

Elvis’s grin made me smile. Now to face my own snow day. Wish I could be inside.

Everybody Dance Now (Let’s Sweat)

Everybody knead now!

Everybody knead now!

…….

Give me the blanket!

Give me the blanket!

Everybody knead now!

Everybody knead now!

…….

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Everybody knead now!

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Everybody

…….

Here is the snow, now all over the place

The chocolate is hot and I don’t waste time

On the couch with the gang fine

Knead to the rhythm, knead, knead to the rhythm knead

And the blanket is fine

Beats and lyrics to make make biscuits by

Take a chance, come on and dance

Mice go to town, don’t wait, run around

It’s your world don’t worry about squirrels

Tryin’ to get a nut they’re in a rut

Squirrels are ourside, and we are in

Hands on the blanket, come on say “yeah”

Everybody over here, everybody over there

The crowd is live and I pursue this groove

Party people in the house

Knead (let it go)

Indeed (make it so)

Everybody knead now!

Everybody knead now!

…….

Come on let’s knead, baby

Let the blanket take control

Let the rhythm move you

Knead, knead

Let the blanket take control

Let the rhythm move you

I hope the raccoons, squirrel and chipmunk are all right.

Eighty-six the ’shmallows, please! Fresh, hand-whipped cream, por favor.

me too!

Im looking forward to the inevitable post storm kitty outdoor survey expedition

Time for a “Metric-Bonkers Worth” of cocoa!

yes

Maybe like the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF), we could have an Enhanced Cocoa Index (ECI) !! … (Add a little, Irish Crème, maybe?!) :)

So, Sue Ellen is maybe at the dentist today? If true, hope all goes well as painlessly as possible.

Today is Frozen Yogurt Day … in February! …

… Brain freeze!

And Happy (?) Waitangi Day to all in New Zealand, where I’m sure some frozen yogurt would be welcome.

And does this chart mean that tiny marshmallows are a sign of doom? I always hated marshmallows in my hot cocoa: too sweet and the texture is unpleasant to me.

On the other hand, I really like toasted, just slightly burned, marshmallows. Otherwise, I consider them inedible.

It’s over 60 raining with tornadoes here today. Uncozy. The cats are hiding in pantries and closets.

What a lovely smile on Elvis’ face.

I’d be putting whipped cream above the marshmallows. As a kid it was marshmallows in my hot chocolate all the way. Now while I still enjoy them occasionally, I prefer whipped cream.

Also, I’d add the occasional peppermint stick or peppermint candy cane.

I thought it was the “cold standard” :)

elvis is the butter on the biscuits (the good part!)

I had to go play it. Now it’s a serious earworm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaTGrV58wec

We’re having lovely weather for the time of year, so no cacao index.

I like their jammies

We’re not sure what cocoa has to do with French perfume, but sources say there’s a connection.

I was thinking the interlude in the Cha Cha Slide. “Everybody clap your hands” clap-clap—-clap-clap—-clap-clap-clap. Ear worm here I come.

Mmm cocoa and kitties:)
