Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 03, 2020

But Woman, they are conducting vital scientific research and require firsthand observations with repeated experimentation!

Sorry, Lupin. Poppycock is clusters of glazed popcorn and various nuts.

Cocoa Boops! I want to keep it next my copy of “Snoot Boops of History”!

“Cocoa BOOPS to all of you.

I was going to bring up temperature, but then I remembered gazpacho.

I like Froot Boops myself.

Pucky, dear, your chart is incomplete. You need to mention temperature: soup is hot, and cereal is cold. Unless, of course, we’re talking about gazpacho and fruit soups, which are cold … Or oatmeal and other porridges, which are hot … Oh, dear … it is a bit of a muddle, isn’t it?

This reminds me of my father, who’s been gone for 18 years now, and a favored cat of his. When he was eating his morning cereal, she would get on the table and start drinking milk out of his bowl while he was still eating it. He just carried on without making any objection. But the other cats didn’t have this privilege.

I can’t recall if she did the same thing when he was eating soup.

The only difference you should care about, oh dear fuzzy reporters, is that you get to lick the bowl after cereal but not soup. (Disclaimer: not all cats will adhere to this guideline, for such paltry rules are beneath them.)

So is the milk in cereal a beverage, a sauce, or a broth?

This is brilliant! Elvis whipping off his glasses dramatically, Puck’s chart, Lupin gleefully being a brat. Even Goldie’s confident attitude. I love it!

Thank you to the Orb for all of the retirement congratulations and good wishes you sent my way yesterday! You all are like family and I am so glad to be a part of this group! Thank you to Georgia too for this amazing comic which has brought us all together! ♥♥BCN and the Orb♥♥

I’m pretty sure that chili isn’t cereal.

A couple of days ago, mistercatworks wrote:“The fourth cat Wilamena the Radio Cat was atop the refrigerator …"

That’s why I want an explanation for “Radio Cat”.

And by dint of screen snip and then expanding the image, I have discovered the can is “Hey It’s Soup”.

One tends to be hot, guys. The other tends to be cold. And Porridge is cereal soup.

Chili is stew.

Let’s throw them a real challenge. Apart from the fact that one is eaten with chips and the other with a spoon, is there really any difference between salsa and gazpacho?

Somewhere there’s bound to be cereal in a can and soup in a box.

Cats can be found in some restaurants but they do not run them, they sit around looking puzzled.

Cereal Girl – Mow-donna

Some cats diss me

Some cats bug me

Some cats like to play

If my bowl is filled with soup

I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead

But they can’t see the light (that’s right)

’Cause the bowl with the cold milk boops

Is always so, so right

’Cause we are living in a cereal world

And I am a cereal girl

You know that we are living in a cereal world

And I am a cereal girl

I love Puck’s “thinking paws” in the last panel.

I WANT COCOA BOOPS!

This is the sort of observation children make. I wonder if this came from one of Georgia’s kids.

Trust me, boys, your tummies will thank you if you leave chili alone.

OFF TOPIC: PAUL

Paul was quite alert and perky yesterday, which raises my hopes that I will be able to bring him home tomorrow. He was moved to a semi-private room yesterday, which means I am not allowed to visit today. This is a shame, because his new doctor (and they keep changing doctors almost as often as I change my underwear) wants a “conference” tomorrow, with me attending by phone. I have the feeling that the purpose of this conference is to try to get Paul to agree to chemo and/or radiation at the hospital in Toronto. Paul and I were talking yesterday, and all he wants to do is come home. I am seriously questioning the usefulness of us going down to Toronto at all.

I vote for the Poppycock®.

I’m cuckoo for Poppy Cocks! Cuckoo for Poppy Cocks!

Since when did Lupin became the doubtful one, and Elvis so concern?

reminded me of an old gag from the TV show Soap

The Major: Poppycock!

(other character, maybe Chester): what?!

The Major: I said BALDERDASH!

Lupin just wants to say funny old-timey words.

Also, most (but obviously not all) soups tend to be savory—haven’t yet encountered a cereal I could truly call “savory.”

All said Lupin is a jerk for making a mess and wasting food.

The poor cats in a world with no rules where nothing makes sense anymore.

It all has to do with the ingredients, my dear felines.

OT. As I was getting ready to read BCN, LucyLu got rambunctious and ‘made’ me knock over my very large glass of chocolate milk. Needless to say it went everywhere including all over her…and then she ran all over the house with me trying to catch her. Hope the rest of the day goes better….

Technically, a Pop Tart is a ravioli.

Pardon for the cat heresy, but Burt with his awesome dog noise could tell them that cereal is grain based like bread while soup has veggies and maybe meat.

Silence, Woman, you’re interrrupting our scientific study group!

I could go for some Cocoa Boops right now.

Off-Topic:

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet . . .

BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Lupin!

OT – Where did our Sunday Funday thread Go? It was here this morning; I saw it and posted! Now, it’s gone.

My bit of good news is that my Doctor Van Fleet rose bushes are in full bloom just now (see my new avatar for an example). It’s a very old-fashioned rose; it only blooms in the spring, but the fragrance is so fabulous! Mine are scions of of an enormous specimen that grew on the lot next to my parent’s restaurant – Mom took a cutting back in the 70’s; that cutting grew into an enormous bush at the house; then, when hubby and I finally had our own home, she gave me a cutting (this was in the 90’s); since then, I’ve started another cutting from that one. Mine haven’t quite reached the stature of the parent roses, but if the yard got more sunlight, they’d take over. I love these roses – and unlike hybrid tea roses, these jokers are tough and lovely. They have fragrance almost strong enough to walk on, and they shrug off things like black spot and mildew that terrorize most roses around here.

Just think of it as wet food or dry food the humans put water on.

Poppycock!

Great chromostereopsis effect with the cereal flying out of the bowl!

:Andy Rooney voice: “Soup is funny. It’s not really a meal. Nor is it really a first course. since it’s mostly made of water. I find soup to be the most watery of foods.Some soups have beans in them and there are beans that are as watery as soups, but they’re not soups. I don’t trust soups on the whole, no more than I trust stews.There are French soups with bread in them. I don’t really understand that. To me it’s arbitrary whether you put bread in the soup or soup in the bread. You still have sloppy bread.”

All this talk about soup combined with a chilly, rainy day made me hungry for soup. I had some leftover baked chicken, so I made a pot of chicken/potato/corn chowder. I crumbled up some leftover corn bread into it. I wish I knew how to purrrrrrr.

Hmmm, seen soup in boxes. Though usually that’s more a soup mix.

I’d try the hell out of Cocoa Boops

This was an episode on one of my ‘rabbit ears’ channels last week; FBE, maybe? Chill vs soup vs cereal vs stew vs mac&cheese, etc.

“ The main difference between Cereal and Soup is that the Cereal is a grass of which the fruits are used as grain, or the fruits themselves and Soup is a primarily liquid food.” -some website that came up on a Google search
