Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 21, 2020

Good cop, bad cop!

“Shall we start with this one, Mary…er, I mean Puck?”

It’s a good thing the girl’s creation had to be disqualified because it wasn’t food. It would have been hard for Elvis to choose between his ladies!

Never fear, Elvis, I’ve seen this before. When you taste their food for them humans pretend to be upset, then spread butter or icing or catsup over the spot you nibbled. They love it!

The Boy’s dough giraffe is technically edible.

Hey, play food is still “food” to its creator.

OT

Bribery. As I am working on finding yummy food to be thankful for… I am thinking of what parts to bribe the cats from NOT Plotting my demise! I’m thinking – bacon! Part can go into the human food… nibbles in a small plate for the fur-beasts. Maybe I will think of more… but the brain is not working! I thought whipped cream… for pie… but I’m not having pie! :)

The Woman will be disqualified for interfering with the judges.

Trying to lick The Life of Pie, eh, Cat?

OK, the Woman should know better. Fancy leaving food around where tasters can test it?

The woman definitely looks unhappy, reminds me of my wife when one of our little angels absconded with a nice piece of blackened grouper she was going to have for lunch last Saturday……

There goes your paw-shake, Woman.

OT. Yen

Why wouldn’t the giraffe be food?

Careful there Elvis or you may end up with Chesney

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: We had some amazing entries this year. I came dangerously close to being pleased!

Puckmosis: Are you ready to declare the winners?

Elvis-Anum: Yes. For the savory treat, Beatrixia wins with her Kibble Pie. In the Innovative Dough category, Sophititi wins with her spice cookie recipe. Can you tell us where you got the spices from, Soph?

Sophititi: I had help from the Royal Procurers.

Elvis-Anum: And where did the spices come from, ladies?

Alice-Ata: We’ll never tell.

Elvis-Anum: In the Original Design category, Maat-Tilda earns the prize with her Krazy Kookies.

Elvis-Anum: And now for the grand prize. The star baker is Lupinium, with his Giraffe-shaped Pie with grape and edible paper clip decorations.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Well done, bakers. We are all truly thankful for the joy you bring.

You wouldn’t treat Paul Hollywood that way Woman!

That’s a pretty good looking giraffe

The pie will be judged as it should be— at the dining room table by the whole human family.

OT: My Xmas tree

OT:

Unexpected disqualification of the judge, what a surprise ending!

lol!

Maybe you could make the cats their own pie? What would you put in a feline friendly pie?

Today is:

Tweety Bird’s and Voltaire’s Birthday: The connection? Both were noted for being snarky. Personally, I was always on Sylvester’s side.

World Hello Day: Support World Peace! But frankly, you might have more success supporting Whorled Peas. There is a theory that human conflict is being fomented by extraterrestrial species who are terrified of us. If so, I don’t blame them.

Pumpkin Pie Day: Thanksgiving is in less than a week, but this seems a little premature. And didn’t someone here assert, last year, that most pumpkin pie filling was actually made from a different species of squash? All plants of that family are promiscuous in the extreme, and if you try to grow them together, there’s no telling what hybrids you’ll get. So far, that’s the only good excuse for “pumpkin spice” I know: Pour enough sugar, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon on it and you can make anything edible.

National Stuffing Day: Actually, this should be on the 26th, when we traditionally stuff ourselves to catatonia. “Stuffing” is an ancient method of cooking dry meat of any kind to keep it tender and juicy. Ours is traditionally made with wild rice. “Dressing” is more appropriately used for something applied to the outside of a food, but we also use it for the extra “stuffing” that won’t fit in the bird, and because everyone wants some. We also dress the bird with bacon. Something is drooling on my keyboard …

Alascattalo Day: A hybrid cross between a moose and a walrus, and sterile, which is why you don’t see them any more. Originally bred by prospectors during the Alaskan Gold Rush as a source of meat and lamp oil, and who were very tired of M-T. Pie†. Now the name of a minor planet in the inner main belt of the asteroid belt, apparently because it’s shape resembles the beast. †Those who are hivernants know what this is. Those who are not, don’t want to know.

OT: Baby steps.

DOOOOOMMMMMM!

Do not provoke the Wrath of Elvis.

The boy in my avatar would do just about anything for pie. Had to cool them in the oven. I have a double oven and usually cooled them in the top one with the door cracked open. Once, he pulled the door the rest of the way open and crawled in to get at the pie!

My Sister used to have an orange and white tabby, Bootsie. One year Bootsie got on the table when no one was around and ate more than half the pumpkin out of a pumpkin pie!

Um, didn’t the Boy make the giraffe out of pie dough? And didn’t the girl use a grape to top her paperclips?

Just one lick wouldn’t hurt.

Alright, I’m a dumb 71 year old and don’t know what OT: means. Is it ONE THOUGHT? Or OTHER?

OT: I made it three hours into my first Santa shift before a kid wanted a picture with me.

Tomorrow morning is sensory-friendly Santa and I’m hoping to see a young girl who came to that event last year and was quite possibly more excited to see a real elf than she was to see Santa.

I see puke in the woman’s shoes occurring soon

They’ll all lose — none of them has ham
