Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 01, 2020

Chonky-Boi? Is that really appropriate?

OMC!

I just told someone yesterday I love the word chonky to describe plump pets!!! Hahaha

Also, Bandit said Kit Cat … you know, Kit Kat. Now I want chocolate.

This arc must be a prequel to the Christmas special.

I thought Robert Loggia was T.H.E. Cat…

Ceiling Cat is watching this????

Little brother? He looks like Puck’s big brother!

He must be talking about the great cat god in the skies. Of course, the great cat god is no match for the great bear god in the skies who is the one true mightiest god of em all.

Bandit toe beans and

:: back-of-paw-to-forehead swoon::

Kit Chase toe beans!

I have to go lie down for a moment.

So in Our IX Lives, stars follow cats who are either struck by lightening or trapped in abandoned mine shafts?

So it’s confirmed that this comes before the Christmas arc because by then Bandit had been a cop for awhile

Never ignore a vision of the big chonky-boi in the sky.

My big,Chonky Gurl, is head bonking me now…and she already knows she is a deity!

Tarot, haunted observatories, and now visions of the Divine! This show is total poppycock. I’m glad I’m not wasting my time watching it.

The first time ever I saw Kit Chase

I thought the sun rose in his eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gifts he gave

To the dark and the endless skies

The first time ever I kissed his pic

I felt the earth move in my paw

With my swooning heart and deep loud purrs

I knew that fine cat commanded my love

And the first time ever I saw him on TV

I knew I had to watch him endlessly

And I knew my joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of Chonky-boi above

The first time ever I saw Kit Chase

that face, Kit Chase

The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face – Roberta Flack

Songwriter: Ewan Mccoll

Now that I think about it, what cat wouldn’t think god was a very well fed cat!

And what’s the story behind Bandit being trapped in an old abandoned mine shaft?

(Not that I care, but it should be told for the sake of completeness.)

I did not think cats followed any divinity, since every cat I’ve known already thinks they are a God.

Ugh, not another week of this.

So…many…beans…

So the great deity is Chonky-boi. Interesting.

I have no idea what I just read

Be wary of false cats!

Georgia has just posted a magnificent essay on her face book (I read it at the BCN website). She starts by explaining that today’s strip was written weeks ago and is not a commentary on the news. It is a wonderful post. I agree with all of what she says. It is too lengthy to quote here plus it is very grim and timely. I recommend it.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Sophititi: Your Majesty, I wish to report there is a storm on the horizon. We must make preparations at once.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: We must unite and all do our part to prepare.

Thomosis: I will check to make sure we have adequate stores of food (although there always seems to magically be enough).

Elvis-Anum: I have written instructions on how to weather the storm.

Puckmosis: Bea and I will make sure all our subjects know how to weather the storm.

The Queen: This is a stormy time, but if we all do our part we can weather the storms. But there is something important to remember. Lupinium?

Lupinium: Even in the stormiest of times, we must remember to smile when we can. Let us all see it Dunn!

Adorbs! I love the Chonky-Boi. And thank you for your explanation of the subject matter in this strip.

Today is Go Barefoot Day. I think we should also declare it Go Bearfoot Day, for bears always go barefoot. After all, when was the last time you saw a bear in sandals, or flip-flops, or sneakers, or pumps?

Did you know that one of the best ways to prevent blisters on feet is to walk barefoot in clean, cut grass? (Note, not a good idea after you have gotten blisters.) You can also soak your feet or hands in brine (do not use pickle brine, or people will forcefully put your shoes back on.) Some have also used a solution of household ammonia (or other sources of dilute ammonia—ick.) Again, not something I would recommend, regardless of source.

Sidebar: The ancient Romans had public urinals to collect it as a source of ammonia, and used it to wash their clothes. They didn’t have soap until they learned how to make it from the Germans in the first century CE. Barbarians my (bare) foot.

Second Sidebar: Referring to cowards as “yellow” or “yellow bellied” may have originated with the ancient Roman army. Contrary to popular belief, the most common color for the Roman Army tunic was not red. Although various colors were used, the most common was white, followed by red. So if someone lost control of their bladder out of fear, the tunic would stain yellow. There is no documentation, however, so this is mere speculation.

OH MY CAT!!! He saw Him?!?!?!

Hmm, a “road to Damascus” moment in an abandoned mine shaft. I guess, if you are that low, the only way to go is up.

long live the chonky-boi!!

Great to see you again, Kit Chase!

Sunday evening I went out to a friend’s house. When I got home, my Visitor was in my yard. he followed me onto the porch, clearly letting me know that he was hungry, so I put some food out for him.

For those who don’t know or have forgotten, this is my Visitor:
