Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 25, 2020

Okay, mail carriers it is!

Repeat after Puck. I believe in mail carriers. Aww ❤️❤️

The return of the sticky notes! Pucky is very prepared this week! I suspect Beatrix is going to end up with a Puck-assembled For Emergency Situations package – whether she wants one or not.

Mail carriers are also deliverers of stranded kittens!

I like that the mail carrier is so inclusive in his reply. He is sensitive and Pucky is right to idolize him!

And in addition to a wonderfully inclusive mail carrier we have a Beatrix toe bean palooza!

And the magnet need to be updated!

So say we all, Puck.

I think that Puck was carried away with the revelation.

Let’s not forget to thank Thimblefists and Homestyle for this rescue!

I think the naming of furry friends is interesting. What we name or little friend says something about our personality. Or an event pertaining how the friend was found! My Spider was found in some bushes that have huge Hobo Spiders. Luna Tic… well… that is a bit self explanatory.

But I have been wondering what this Mail Carrier would name a cat who he could train to go with him on rounds!? Parcel? Queen Clavicle? Oh! I know a fun one – Forever! ;)

Bea, there’s no cause for sarcasm(!)

At the moment he’s a Puck Carrier. A fuzzy little package.

I still want to know how he got her down!

The guy in the mask might be a “mail carrier”, but I’m still not convinced he’s The Mailman of the old myths.

Of course, I didn’t take my gullibility pills this morning.

I love the synchronicity that sometimes happens amongst my favorite strips.

So where are Burt and Baba Mouse? Still at the vet? Stay tuned.

Oh, no! I just got my “I Believe in Mailmen” magnet with Puck on it today, from Zazzle! Georgia’s gonna have to redesign it now.

I love my mail carrier! : )

Thank you everyone for all the lovely birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great day.

Point taken and gotten :-))

Love the little squiggle lines in the air in panel 4, indicating Puck is busy writing!

Hmmmm. The mailman/person is well read and a cat lover. The bookstore lady is well read and a cat lover.

Little Pucky taking notes. <3

OT….Yen

Pucky, we ALL believe in Mail Carriers! :)

I’m going to have to share this part of the arch with my cousin, who is a mail carrier.

Now if I just get my dog to realize that mail carriers are not serial killers and that he doesn’t need to go into ballistic mode when they approach the house, life would be great.

Heck, yeah! Buy some stamps!

Perfect!

My private “Support the US Postal Service” campaign will begin shortly. By some quirk of fate, approximately 90% of the birthday greetings I send out are for folks who celebrate somewhere between October 1st and November 3rd. I actually paid attention several years ago and noted that I spent $40 just to buy the cards (not the postage)!

Pucky prefers sticky notes!

I love that the mailman has spent so much time delivering Bea that her woman has had time to get to the BPH and pick her up.

Fun story arc!

This makes me love Pucky even more! He’s so wonderful. I know everyone wants a Pucky, but I really want one! I’m just afraid I’m gonna wind up with a Lupin. A Bea would be beautiful, too, though! Or a Tommy! A Tommy would be terrific!! Burt would be bodacious! But loopy Lupins stop me from going there.

It does cover everyone! Even miniature, House Panthers!

Now, can Puck convince Elvis that “mail-carriers” are real?

Puck is so happy! {internal screams of joy}

Many thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday; it really brightened my day to hear from so many orbsters! This is the greatest bunch on the internet, paws down!

There’s no worker like a mail worker, like the mail worker Puck knows

Everything about him is appealing, everything from his handsome head down to his toes

Nowhere could Puck get that happy feeling when he spies him approaching the house

There’s no people like mail people, they’ll smile even at a Robber Mouse

And with a cat-child up a tree so bold, he’d never leave her stranded out in the cold

He’s a mail carrier truly worth his weight in gold

And we’re so grateful he doesn’t spindle, mutilate nor fold

Mail carriers are superstars, beautiful sights to behold

(There’s No Business Like Show Business – Irving Berlin)

I believe in Mail Carriers!

“ Neither rain, nor snow, nor little cats in trees….”

Post It, Puck!

Good cursive penmanship, Puck!

Georgia posted a link to a short video for Elvis Puffs Out:

I prefer “Persons of Post”. :)

He just happens to be a “male carrier” who is also a “cat carrier” and who delivers the mail. (I agree it is an important distinction and so does my female mail carrier.)

I call them Postal Persons!

Three cheers for the magical mail carriers!! Puck being cradled by the mail carrier is beyond cute, especially in the first panel where he is like a little Puck-loaf.

Officially the correct title is Letter Carriers but Mail Carriers will do.

My bestie just retired this past August from the USPS. She was a rural mail carrier.

Now we need a new magnet! :-)

Today is …

Outrageously popular as a holiday:

Save the Koala (Drop-Bear) Day: —Anyone remember the old Quantas™ commercials? Any animal that cute deserves saving, even if it turns out to be a cute, fuzzy animal with BIG SHARP TEETH.

National Cooking Day —For which we have the following menu:

For breakfast we have: National Quesadilla Day —ham, cheddar, mushroom, and ham, please. And …

National Bakery Day —Take out only, and I want a chocolate bear paw.

For lunch:National Crab-meat Newburg Day —Perhaps the lobsters were being saved for later …

And for dinner:

National Lobster Day — …and here they are. I’ve been told that lobsters are really just an excuse to eat drawn butter …

It is also …

National Comic Book Day —As we eagerly await release of Elvis Puffs Out. I’ve always appreciated the excellent art that goes into some comic books, and I’m glad there are collectors, now, who will preserve it.

National Psychotherapy Day —There is more truth in “Sanity is for those who cannot handle reality.” After all, this universe is only a collective hunch. Oh dear, I’ve probably set Robin and Gent off, again.

Now that’s a kitty who knows beans about kitty beans…

Now I’m really confused! I thought Bea lived with Puck and the others?…Can someone explain?

how do I extra super follow

this has been today’s PC sermon

See, kitties? He’s NOT a mailman! He’s a mail carrier! Mailmen remain an unproven mystery. :)

I can’t recall. Was she in that tree for more than 24 hours? Why weren’t her people out searching high and low??

I’d like to cuddle Beatrix next.

In 1970 I took the Clerk/Carrier exam. “Carrier” has been around for a while. I got a clerk job and lasted about six months. The thought of it as a career scared me. I tried college again.

Look at how cute Puck is making notes, whilst being held by the mail carrier.

Here’s to mail carriers everywhere!

No, not really cool. Postal employees sounds way better than mail carriers. AND it truely includes everyone, male and female, delivery personel and folks who work in the post office without making the rounds delivering.

My cat treed herself three times after getting out the dog door. The fourth time that we found her outside, she managed to get quite a ways from home (thankfully, she comes to the rattle of the treat can). Then our other, more placid, cat started going out. Now we lock the kitties up at night so they don’t get a chance to explore the dog door any more.

my husband and I used to say “postal persons” because mail sounds like male and we didn’t want to be sexist…

Georgia just posted an intro to the new book on insta

OT: but not exactly…

Back when I was young, we called mail carriers “squire” and “page” …

Oh! Not mailmen and femailmen? Gotcha!

My personal favorite modernization is “personhole cover”

i call them posties
