Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 11, 2020

Elvis is just begging to be collateral-glittered. Can’t hide behind the Woman forever, Elvis!

All the boys but Elbiss. Guess they just couldn’t resist a cookie. And Puck had been such a good boy.

I ate a Christmas cookie that was decorated with edible glitter today and thought of Lupin. At least they told me it was edible …

In panel 4 the cookies seem to have disappeared into the glitter cloud around Lupin. Probably not edible glitter either.

There’s no shame in stealing food, I says. If I hungry, I eats.

This is entrapment!

Boy, Elvis is really being judgmental……Cookie shame indeed!

Lupin the master of disappearing; just spotted in the bottom right corner of the last frame!

But . . . but . . . Puck was just trying to protect the Boy! He was trying to stop him from doing something naughty just before Christmas. And when that didn’t work, he tried to divert attention (and blame) away from the Boy by pretending, pretending, mind you, to eat a cookie! There’s no shame associated with protecting someone else! (Lupin, on the other hand, appears to just be taking advantage of the situation. That must be who Elvis is pointing at when he says, “Cookie Shame!” He couldn’t mean Puck!)

My Mother-in-law would make a huge plate of cookies to give out to everyone. We would gorge ourselves… and gain quite a few pounds. People are now warning that cookies are not that great with the pandemic. Mostly because people are not getting out to work it off. And then there is my niece. She has been going through a fairly strict diet for the past couple of years! Things like… no dairy products, no gluten, no added sugar. So mostly… no cookies for her! I think I might go to the store and buy a bunch of different kinds of nuts. Like a box of candies/chocolates… different nuts in their own little sections. It could probably last until the middle of spring! That is… if she doesn’t enjoy them! :)

Fortunately, the cookie sheets appear to have cooled off a bit by the time the Boy reaches up on the counter in panel 3. I can say from experience that bare fingers on hot baking pans is . . . well, it’s not fun.

Cookie Monster would have no problem with this. Cookies were created to be eaten!

Elvis, you’re being a suck up…

Nothing like home made cookies hot out of the oven on a cool December day! One can not blame the boys for jumping the gun a bit.

I like how Puck is daintily eating his cookie. =3

I’ve heard that cookies are in short supply this season. Lots of demand and not enough workers to make them. Just as well, homemade cookies are so much better. Seems the Dunn family is lucky to have a willing and able baker in house!

I can make cookies, I just don’t have anybody to share them with this year. I can’t very well go around putting mystery bundles in strange mailboxes.

Where is Goldie? Where are the robber mice?

Elvis riding around on the Woman’s shoulders is very handy for him.

Really, why was Puck assigned to cover the kitchen? He is trying to remain good.

I’m sure all the woman had to do was follow the trail of glitter from Lupin to the cookies…

My goodness, look how floofy Puck’s tail has gotten. I hope he doesn’t accidentally drag it through all that icing.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Thank you for coming to visit, Royal soothsayer. No doubt you are aware there has un-crime wave around the palace. What could it mean?

Baba-Stet: I’ve heard about this. It is my understanding that the perpetrator is trying to be bad in a good way.

The Queen: Any idea who this person is?

Baba-Stet: Yes, but I believe they should remain anonymous.

The Queen: In other words….

Baba-Stet: Right. I’ll never tell.

The Queen: And the origami cats?

Baba-Stet: Just goes to show there really is a Papyrus Cat.

The Queen: Well yeah. I know Kat-Mandu. He delivers the scrolls and packages all the time.

Baba-Stet: But there are still those who do not believe.

At the Royal Office

Elvis-Anum: If course there is such thing as origami. But a Papyrus Cat?

Has Elvis forgotten about the beards of the Santa cookies?

OT. Yen

I’ll start baking cookies next week!

Glitter over here; and Sparkle over at Cat’s Cafe! :-)

https://www.gocomics.com/cats-cafe/2020/12/11

Just contemplate all that (probably) non-edible glitter adding their charm to the remaining cookies.

Sparkly Lupin!

OMC! Not Cookie shame?

Good, good boys, they all looked out

On the pan so pleasin’

Where cookies lay ’round about

Baked so crisp and even

Brightly shone Lupin that night

Though Elvis was kinda cruel

And poor Pucky took a bite

Frettin’ ‘bout Santa’s ruu-u-ules

(Traditional – Good King Wenceslas)

The cookies look delicious. Maybe I’ll make a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies over the weekend. Maybe. If I feel ambitious enough.

Elvis is riding for a fall, for sure. That pointing finger of blame (not to mention his superior, judgy attitude) is going to attract some hefty universe-balancing karma, I’m betting.

Must be Ham Cookies by the looks of it

it looks like Puck is just giving the cookie a little lick.surely that’s ok?

Cookies are the best food ever.

For shame, Woman! Leaving those cookies out without guarding them yourself created what the lawyers call an “attractive nuisance.” No one can be expected to resist that temptation!

I love Puck’s little “dang” balloon hanging down in panel 2. And it appears that the Woman is never going to learn to not leave goodies accessible and unprotected. :-)

Cookies, cakes, chocolates, Christmas!!! all adding up to celebrating XXX

My friends & I are planning on our annual cookie exchange this year, but it’ll be different. We ‘drop off’ our tins filled with sealed baggies of cookies on our hostess’s porch at timed intervals, the cookie elves will sort and compile so everyone gets a variety and we receive a text when our filled containers are ready to be picked up on the porch.

Lupin really is invisible, I almost didn’t see him!

Oh no! Sparkle Pony Lupin is not only playing Cookie Monster, he’s getting glitter all over the cookies he’s not shoveling into his mouth.

OT: COVID in the family

Guess cookies CAN make for a great ‘General Ackbar’ moment: “It’s a TRAP !!” :)

Hey, take it as proof of just how irresistible your cookies actually are. ;)

disco ball lupin!

The Mother-In-Law arrives next weekend. (I really wish she wouldn’t travel, but I kind of get it, as we’re approaching the first anniversary of her mother’s passing.) As much as she and I butt heads, she is a singular baker and already has plans to devote an entire day to making Christmas cookies. I, in turn, have made plans to take a day off from my day job and work for Santa all day, as my “home office” is our dining room and we’d be in each other’s way.

And here we see the boy, rising from the abyss below the counter to feast on his favorite food, Fresh baked cookies. The nearby cat in seeing this also falls to the will of consumption of cookies (said in a David Attenborough voice).

Also I like the cookie shame there, however elivis is wrong, there is no shame in eating cookies.

Half the joy of cookies is snagging them… especially this time of year.

On a safety note you need to get that glitter off Lupin-if he ingests it grooming it could be quite harmful.

And left nothing for Elvis.

Broken cookies are fair game. (Accidents happen.)

I have said that I have a painful double ear infection, and I teased a as a about his ear comment. But despite treatment my infection persists. My Maine coin Pepper will not leave my side. His paws “hold” my hand all night. When I am awake he kisses my head or lies on my leg. I could not have a better nurse for my soul. Dog people say cats don’t care. This cat is a born caretaker. He has raised 2 abandoned kittens and now he is caring for me. This is why we love cats.

Teased scaeva

I think everyone will agree with me when I say “if you leave out christmas cookies before christmas eve they will be eaten within the hour”

With all my kitchen stuff in bins as the kitchen will be renovated, hubs couldn’t find my Joseph Joseph rolling pin. I bought one on Amazon Australia, hoping it might get here next week. It got here today! Guess who’s making cookies very, very soon!!!

Today is:

A personal day of remembrance for General Chuck Yeager: There’s a reason he wore Astronaut’s Wings—he was the first American more than sixty miles up. Chuck Yeager was one Sierra Hotel pilot, and much more. While he may not be widely remembered, he will be by those whose eyes are on the stars.

International Mountain Day: “I’m a mountainy man, by God. My pappy was a wolf, an’ my mother was a bored grizzly. I was weaned on rattlesnake milk …” —Henry Frapp, in The Mountain Men

National Noodle Ring Day: Edible jewelry, the latest fashion craze … Stranger things have happened. However, according to my son the jeweler, it’s hard to get the gemstones to stay put. According to his father, the geologist, the stones are also hard on the teeth. Nevertheless, De gustibus non disputandem est.

National Have a Bagle Day: I bet they make better rings or other jewelry than noodles, more durable, anyway … A nice, plain bagel right now would help, either plain or toasted and buttered. Sigh.

Official Lost and Found Day: How was this day lost? Where? When? By whom? Was it merely mislaid, or actually lost? Who found it? Where did they find it? Was it damaged? Does it need to be cleaned? Film at 11.

Cookie Shame is good shame.

I just adore Puck’s guilty face.

Calendars available today. Get your order in while they are hot.

Is it… weird that I just had to buy another big tin of popcorn… simply because I need the tin for cookies? I mean, that’s a normal problem/logical solution, right?

Elbiff, you are the best.

It seems the cats have raised the Boy right. Those cookies are doomed.

No one can resist Christmas cookies!

Lewis and Shadow both love cookies. I think it is the butter. Of course Shadow also loved popcorn, tortilla chips and pretty much any baked grain product with salt.

Not good. Really not good. December, the WORST time to be naughty. Santa’s more likely to pay more attention to December naughtiness than to Jamuary goodness as it’s just soo much closer to whenhe has to make his trip.

But I have good news for you Puck, I just checked Claus.com on the nuaghty or nice list. Your recent naughtiness has hurt you a little. Still, this is what they had to say about you:

Puck

“Nice, but has been naughty at times. Neatness and politeness have been very good over the last two weeks. Shows proper respect for others. Shares well, but could always be better. With a little more effort could be near top of “nice” list."

Now I have the urge to bake cookies. Ah must making out my shopping list for ingredients

Calendar = YEA!

I think Elvis is jealous that he didn’t think of it first!

I notice the Woman is calling Puck and the Boy “Boys.” Reminds me of my mom. She never made much of a distinction between humans and other animals.

Hey, folks!

I dare ya to watch my avatar, at full size if you can, for at least a minute and Not Start Wiggling Too!

hee hee hee!

What do you call something as catchy as an earworm but works on your body?

FOR SHAME!!!

No one can resist home baked cooies

Elvis is NOT helping!
