Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 01, 2020

Cue the Song of the Something Wrong – Siamese Edition!

This dial goes to eleven.

… must … not … tickle … toe beans …

The next time Tusslemania comes to town, I want to see El Biff’s Grabby Noodle Arms of Death!!

Aaand, he got…Poofy tail! Maybe this will alert the primates.

It’s a combination of all those treats and his major poof.

N O O D L E A R M S

Well Elvis, I do give you an A for effort….

And here I was thinking that all they needed to do was have the Siamese hop down next to Pengo and announce he’s there for all to hear at full Siamese volume. Getting stuck was not part of my suggested plan, Elvis, though it will still work, and I’m sure you know what you’re doing.

:::whispering to my fellow female Orbsters::: maybe we need a female to get the job done?!?

Now Elvis is doomed as well.

I hope Burt gets a screen shot of Elvis in that last panel … Would love to see this image come up the next time the station is having Technical Difficulties!

Elvis can push a cat bed to the middle of the hallway. Maybe he can drag pengo out from under the bed.

That is definitely not a dignified posture my dear El Biff!

An upside-down Siamese not being able to reach his chosen target. What could possibly go wrong?

If Elvis asks if those trousers make his butt look big, I’m afraid I’ll have to say yes. Yes, they do.

The worst climber in the world strikes again.

Do we even want to see the look on Pengo’s face now?

OK, I’m fantasizing here. Supposing they ALL fall into the deep. What then?

Gotta have the ‘audible sharpness’ of those claws! (check tv tropes if you’ve never heard of it…)

Well, don’t just stand there watching. Pull him up!

You think Lupin will ever let him live this down?

That was a rhetorical question.

Panel two: Elvis turns into a Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man.

…. and he’s stuck!! The funniest BCN comic to date!!

Go get the Man! He will pull the bed out and rescue Pengo. He can tell the Boy the kitties rescued him! There! Was that so hard?

At least now the people who can’t understand the cats will find pengo! Good job guys!!!

Back to the drawing board.

Ooooh, maybe Puck will make a rescue chart for us.

I can just see it now. The wild howls and yowls of the cats bring the People over to the side of the bed where they look down on all four trapped cats looking up at them …

Elvis to the rescuuuuuu -- oh, maybe not.

This is definitely the most undignified Elvis yet (and hopefully ever). I’ll just stroll out of the room so I can snort-laugh out of his hearing………that tail pooof!

Poof.

HahHahahHA!

8D

Ground shaking, Siamese cat yowling, in 3…2..

2 new nicknames for Mr. Angry Fussy Paws! :-)

I’d like to see the way he’s going to try and spin this into “I meant to do that.”

I can’t resist the cuteness of the noodle arms

A wiggling, stuck Siamese butt (with toe-beans)… Georgia, you just made my Friday!

nice try

Clicking on today’s strip was just plain LOL funny. Elvis’s butt in the air with a floofed tail. What a site.

Oh my, Elvis!! There will shortly be screaming, yelling, wailing and gnashing of teeth! Speaking of which, Yum Yum went through all of those this morning. I had the door ajar so she could go in and out, and the black tom who is her nemesis and sworn enemy waltzed in, as bold as you please. That lasted about 3 seconds. Yum Yum shortly came back, swaggering with pride at having chased him away yet one more time.

OFF TOPIC: PAUL

Paul and I had a long meeting with our family doctor and a palliative care doctor at the hospital yesterday. He has Stage 4 carcinoma in his jaw and lungs. He has at most, without treatment, 6 months to live with the ability to enjoy what is left and possible have a few last visits at the cabin. Treatment might add another few months, but he would be in and out of the hospital and suffering the side effects of radiation and chemo. Right now, we are thinking in terms of quality rather than quantity. The hospital is getting me the feeding and morphine pumps Paul needs to be kept comfortable, and he should be home by, hopefully, Monday at the latest.

Such a dignified pose. :D

Thumb thing needs to be done.

He got poofy tail.

Good for Puck in maintaining a professional demeanor on air … so far.

I hope that Burt didn’t have a mouthful of morning caffeine when this came over the air.

The next contestant has to be up for a challenge, saving the stuck cat and rescue pengo

Should’ve been less like a spaghetti noodle and more like linguini.

It’s turtles, all the way down (To the Kentucky Downs!) Since the Kentucky Derby has been postponed, tomorrow (7 p.m. EST) you can watch the Turtle Derby! https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaellore/2020/05/01/kentucky-turtle-derby-reborn-in-lieu-of-2020-kentucky-derby/#598ce538186dWhat amazes me is this is the second time. The first time was in 1945. I posted this last night but it was so late, I couldn’t resist posting it today. So tomorrow (Saturday) early evening you can watch the champion turtles race for 8 minutes! Yes, it’s probably like watching paint dry, but ever since reading the Discworld stories, I like turtles.

What an undignified Elvis! I think this one is even beyond the usual suave Siamese recovery “I meant to do that.” Toe beans and upside down – it’s too much!

While I always love Breaking Cat News, seldom do I laugh out loud like I did at this one. (Or, as I may have mentioned before, honk out loud!)

But it’s a dignified stuck…NOT!!!

Doesn’t this seem like a job for the servants?

Once in awhile you get stuck

Tryin’ to help turns you upside down

And next thing you know, your smile’s a frown

Wriggle a ton but you still can’t budge it

And though you’re chubby, we won’t judge it

While askin’ yo’ fat self, “Hey, what’ve I done?”

When you get caught between the bed and wall, plump kitty

I know it’s crazy, but it’s true

If you get caught and there’s no cat’s help nor pity

The best that you can do

The best that you can do is feel our love ❤️

Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Cats do perform “rescues”. After a late date, I returned home to find three cats on the floor in front of the refrigerator eating scattered bits of kibble. The fourth cat Wilamena the Radio Cat was atop the refrigerator, where she had sliced open the bag of kibble and dispensed food to the masses.

Love and purrs for quality time from us

And a fat butt.

This looks like a job for Goldie!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Thanks for the lift, Avenger. And good to see you, Burt-Ra. Trevor-Hotep said not to be a stranger.

Burt-Ra: Sure thing I’ll be glad to take the Space-Time Anemone back when you’re done with it. And I have some seedlings and plants I want to bring him.

Avenger: Do you want me to give you a lift?

Burt-Ra: No, I think I’ll have to ask Kara and Vann.

Sometime Later

Beatrixia: Elvis-Anum, Pengo and Violet-Ifa are ready to go. Are you coming?

Elvis-Anum: I’ll be right there as soon as I’ve tidied up my office. (Darn this inferior papyrus.)

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Then let the travel begin. Sophititti?

Sophititti: OK. Pengo, take this flower. Violet-Ifa, take hold of Pengo’s flipper. You sure you want to take this trip with Pengo?

Violet-Ifa: I sure am. I’ll make sure the Space-Time Anemone gets back here safely.

Sophititti: Okey-dokey. Pengo, close your eyes and think about home.

Pengo: Should I say anything?

Sophititti: That only works if you want to go to Kansas.

A few seconds later

Pengo: We’re here! I can’t wait to see my Boy!

Violet-Ifa: Wonderful. You take care and give your Boy a big hug for me.

Pengo: Are you going back now?

Violet-Ifa: In a bit. First there’s someone I want to see.

At the barn

Violet-Ifa: Vi!

Violet: Nana Infinity! It’s been ages!

Conclusion Tomorrow

But doesn’t Elvis have the most beautiful blue eyes.

Noodle arms lol so confident yet so stuck lol new fav line !

Panel 4 has the cutest cat-booty I’ve seen in a loooong time!

He forgot to mention he’s also got a beer belly, a root beer belly.

Mama’s Special Boy is due for some tuna, ham, and cheese.

{"type":“comment”,“reply”:"",“value”:“Hope he gets out!”}

Sending ((((((((((you and Paul)))))))))) love and hugs, ladycat. So sorry you received this news. I appreciate that you have shared your life here all along. Please don’t stop. My cat Dog sends chirps and ankle brushes of support.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The caterwauling may attract human attention. That could mean rescue and embarrassment for Elvis and rescue for Pengo.

Elvis! Calm your kits!

Hugs to you and Paul. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you during this time.

“This is sooo undignified!!”

Puck, you describe it so weeeeeell……..

I’ve been imagining Baba Mouse, down at the barn, watching this news report, and reacting. I can almost see the look on her face.

I think everyone, short of Elvis himself, knew this was going to happen.

And hours later, I’m still chuckling because I can SEE that cat backend wiggling around, paws desperately trying to get some purchase on something,anything, and then the panic setting in and the wailing siren of panic/terror starting. Why, yes, I have experienced a cat stuck butt side up and unable to extricate himself from the situation (with 2 different boy cats – one that should of known better and one that was just dumber than a box of rocks. (I’m fairly confident this kind of thing doesn’t happen to girl cats. )

Elvis was all set to be a hero! He had the arms, he had the claws, he had the determination… darn that narrow space!

Sending prayers! Life really is about quality, not quantity! May God Bless you!

Ladykat, bless you. Holding you and your family in my heart, that is so hard.

Panel 4 here reminds me of a cat pic I’ve seen online … (the link spoils it, but still.)
