Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 20, 2020

Don’t forget the pasta, Pucky. Pasta is an essential.

(I plead guilty to the discount Easter candy, though! There was so much of it! Even Cadbury eggs – my mom loves Cadbury eggs, and she couldn’t find any at her grocery store. I saved her a couple of boxes for Mother’s Day a couple weeks later.)

can you imagine if kitty litter boxes came with kitty-sized TP rolls?

Uh, Puck…. Just accept that The People have different grooming habits than those employed by cats.

Thank goodness they never ran out of cat food, or even got low on it.

They didn’t get toilet paper. I WONDER why?

Bidets for the win!

You did not mention TUNA! What kind of shopping trip does not include TUNA?

I foresee a masked crusader caper coming up.

Puck, there are some things cats were not meant to know.

I think it’s time for a Lupin spy operation to assess the toilet paper situation!

What do you get when you shop for food?

Lots of empty shelves to burst your bubble

For what you do get, you have to pay double

I’ll never shop for food again

I’ll never make a list again

Dontcha know that I’ll never shop for food again

Don’t tell me what it’s all about

‘Cause I’ve pushed that cart with a big ol’ pout

Want some junk food, but I can’t find squat

That is why I’m here with nothin’ bought

What do you get when you shop for food?

You only get celery and bananas

So far at least until mañana

I’ll never shop for food again

No, no, I’ll never push that cart again

I’ll Never Fall In Love Again

Songwriters: Hal David / Burt Bacharach

As long as the woods are open and there are bunny rabbits in the woods, I got no issues.

And I am up early today, so I can get to the store first thing this morning. I haven’t gone in a month, and have a staggeringly long list. Wish me luck!

Pucky – People don’t clean themselves with their tongues and don’t use litter boxes. Weird, I know. Maybe Beatrix can research this and there will be Puck charts about it in our reading future.

I am guilty of a shocking amount of discount Easter candy too… Cadbury eggs are a guilty pleasure.

♥ ♥ to kitty treats, Pucky ♥ ♥

Right now frozen vegetables are starting to get hard to find. Yet toilet paper, paper towels, and even Clorox Wipes are starting to be available again.

Bought a Toto Bidet Seat 3 years ago. Best…purchase…EVER!

I keep looking to see if there are any spider cameos.

Getting a hair cut today, first one since January. I look like a hippie (which is not necessarily bad). My hair has not been this long since the 70’s.

You know, right now in many communities, Marijuana is legal and hair cuts are not? It took 50 years, but the Hippies have WON!

What a time for newspapers to be in decline!

Let me roll it

Let me roll it to you

Oh, Pucky. Oh, Pucky no.

They get new rolls because it’s too much trouble to roll them back up after the cats get done with them.

Alright, you cats stop spinning that TP roll like it’s the Wheel of Fortune!

This one almost seems out of sequemce with the last 2 days, could have been prior to

The other week when I went to buy a mother’s day card the mother’s day card section looked a lot like the TP aisle. I wasn’t sure why at first, but then I realized that people were more limited on where they could by cards this year. The strange thing was there was one small section in the middle with quite a few cards while most of the rest of the section was completely empty. I am not sure if they put those in later or if people didn’t like them as much. They had pictures of animals on the front and I found a cute one with cats on it so I thought they were perfect.

I love these gentle nods to how stressful things are currently in the People World.

It’s a honey of a day: Today is World Bee Day! I must confess, for much of my life I’ve been afraid of stinging insects, due to a traumatic experience when I was somewhere between two and three years old involving a paper wasp nest and picking raspberries. It took about twenty years for me to get over that fear. At about that time, I learned the hard way that I was pretty much immune to wasp and hornet stings when I walked into a swarm of ground hornets that had been stirred up by the guy in front of me (who didn’t get stung.) The stings hurt no more than pin pricks, and my body had absolutely no other reaction. Since then I’ve been able to be very calm in the presence of wasps and bees: “Go away, sister, I am not a giant caterpillar, nor do I secrete nectar or pollen.” Every time a bee lands on me, I have to resist the urge to pet it, and they are the only insect I consider cute.

So the buzz for today is think kindly thoughts about bees—they need all the help they can get. And give a nod to any apiarists you may know. Buzzing off, now.

We are happy to have installed bidets. This allows toilet paper to assume its rightful role as a cat toy.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: Your Majesty, I am happy to announce that soft papyrus scrolls are available once again.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: That is excellent news, Royal Scribe. Please assign duties to the staff.

Elvis-Anum: Gladly, Your Majesty. Puckmosis, you are to unroll all the scrolls and see they are laid out neatly. Lupinium, you will pounce on the unrolled scrolls and see they are in piles. Then Beatrixia, you will shred the piles of papyrus. Now, where is the Royal Chef.

Thomoisis: I have prepared cans of tuna for the after-shredding feast. There are enough cans to make noise and pandemonium.

Puckmosis: I love it when pandas are invited to join us in the feast.

Our grocery store ran out of Easter candy the first week!

The human litter box question is one of the great topics in cat science.

I just placed my Zazzle order, now I just have to patiently wait for it to arrive. I picked standard shipping so it might be a few weeks. You can buy THE Yellow Fuzzy Blanket, though I didn’t purchase that. I am getting the puzzle with the boys reading around the lamp, a notebook with climbing Puck, an I believe in Mailmen magnet and a shirt with Burt on it.

Puck looks so cute in panel three.

It’s so you four have something to play with while on the bathmat waiting to hark up a hairball.

OT: At my daughter’s house

Puck does love his treats, and who can blame him.

Our two cats are frequently horrified by what we humans do to that perfectly lovely water fountain in the bathroom. Especially since there’s a litter box right next to it!

About the new Zazzle items – all the 16 × 20 puzzles are sold out (wonder why that size?) and enamel cups? Just curious why. Any suggestions which puzzle size besides the 16 × 20?

I sadly got no Easter candy this year, discount or otherwise.

One of the new troubles is that Coke and Pepsi are “concentrating on their core products” according to signs in the store. So some of the flavors I like have been unavailable.

I was shocked, too, all the Easter candy was sold out before Easter

I thought you were from Hardin Kal? Lol
