Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 10, 2021

I love Pucky’s climbing outfit.

Whenever I see puck dressed in his climbing gear, I hear the yodeling song they played on The Price is Right. I assume they still play that pricing game. I haven’t watched the show in a long time.

Love all the little details! Puck the best climber who does not compete, the boy’s artwork, Goldie with a bemused look……Lovely!

“Meo-old-old-old-ee-who.”

I’m glad to see the rainbow drawing was considered to be fridge worthy!

Raven is on a constant quest for the highest point in the living room and will sometimes stand up on his hind legs and reach for the ceiling! I have to keep telling him that there’s no higher to go. But he can almost reach it, thanks to the wide array of flat-pack bookcases lining every available wall…

The cats can get to the top of most of them by various routes, and I had to put a plank over a gap that they could jump – but just barely , and a scary sight it was!

Lupin has been there before

A breadbox! Now you can compare the sizes of things to it!

How’s the air up there Puck? Do you need extra Oxygen?

Well… my kitties are going to have extra pets. Mostly because my life has gone wonky again. I need to tell everyone “Goodbye”. I will try to come in here every once in a while. Give up-votes to all who give out love and laughter. So… give a scritch to all your kitties and other furry friends from me, Spider and Luna Tic.

A SherPuck.

I see some of Georgia’s drawings are on the fridge.

Love those binoculars, Lupin! And thanks to gocomics for FINALLY promoting Elvis Puffs Out at the bottom of the page!!!

Puck, adorable as usual. I would love a pin with Puck in this outfit to add to my other BCN pins.

He gets around well, for missing a foot. Sweet boy.

One small step for a cat, one huge leap for catkind!

Hey Georgia: Are the drawings on the fridge based on or actual scans of drawings by the real Boy and Girl?♥

Love the creative places where Georgia places her signature each strip. :)

Are Sundays Fundays no more? Oh woe!

One less leg won’t stop this fearless climber from achieving great heights in life.

And it looks as if he’s free leaping without ropes, crampons or oxygen bottles. What a climber!

Check in your area, there may be internet only companies, and with the internet you can get a phone and YouTubeTV is an excellent alternative to normal cable TV or satellite TV or Direct TV or Dish TV off tthe top of my head.

What does an intrepid feline climber carry with him in his backpack?

My living room wall has a trim molding around the top about a foot from the ceiling. Every kitten we’ve had has tried to jump up there thinking that there is a ledge. Cookie was so determined to get up there that I had to hold her up and show her there’s nothing there. She still sits on the back of the couch staring up longingly.

Our little black kit takes advantage of every climbing opportunity available. If Puck came to visit we offer further levels of climbing enjoyment….next level is top of cabinet over the fridge followed by a slanted leap to decorative beam. The beam, being decorative but not structural, bounces a bit under even an 11 lb cat making it even more exciting and has been known to unnerve visitors sitting in the living room below.

I used to put the cat up there as a kid. Seemed to thank me then, kerplop

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

On the fridge top

Rise and look around you!

And you’ll see where

You are!

On the fridge top

How it will astound you!

That the living room and the kitchen

Are right in your view!

You’ll feel part of

Every room on the first floor!

You can see the big red couch

And where there’s kibble, treats, and more!

And on a clear day

On a clear day,

You can see where to nap and eat, and more!

you drew a comic of my Ally! The one in my profile who LOVES to view her world from the top of the fridge!

That ain’t nothin’! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkBObiwQddc

I remember one time our Pepper got on top of a cabinet in our bedroom and to this day I think he flew up there! He also got out once, and ended up being on the garage root! Jason and I had both been calling him, but the little stinker didn’t make a sound until he heard Poppy calling him! LOL! He ended up jumping into his arms.

I loved the relationship those two had. Pep would wander out in the early am to talk with Poppy and Poppy would talk right back :) I know he misses him as much as we do.. luckily his dog Tyke is always there now :) And Sultan will jump on the deep freezer for him to give him belly rubs. Not to mention Sheba likes to sit on the arm of his chair and try to steal his food! Yeah, we all know who the favourite hooman is ..

Dusty?

Two of our boys go even higher. We have something called POT SHELVES in the house. People put decorative things up there as well as fake plants. To me, they’re just dust catchers. Anyway, the one between the kitchen and living room is nearly 18 fee high. They start on the floor, jump to the counter, then to the fridge and finally up to the shelf. They just sit up there and survey their kingdom.

The air up there is probably pretty dry. I hope he thought to take along a Ricola.

Does anyone else pick their cat up and carry them around to give them a different view sometimes? I mean, get down on the floor, it’s kind of boring down there ;)

(blink) Thought that was a microwave atop the ‘fridge. I was wondering how you’d nuke a rainbow… Too early in the the morning.

I’ll tell ya what it’s like up there: dusty. Dusty and greasy.

A bread box! I am not surprised they have a bread box. I want one….

How interesting that Puck, the 3 legged kitty is the one who made it to the top of the fridge.

Puck’s secret name is Tenzing Norcat.

“I can see my bed from here.”

Cats do go for altitude. When I walked with my cats in the redwoods, if there was a fallen log, they would walk on that rather than the ground. When Kirby saw three redwood logs, one above the other, bridging a river, he didn’t stop until he had climbed to the highest one.

Over the bread box and through the airTo Dust Bunny place he went….Puck knows the way to improve his dayHe’s so light he won’t make a dent.

OHHHHH….. can’t always fo to Grandma’s house.

Has anyone heard from Santana? Haven’t seen any recent posts.

Reminds me of the Amazing Stella, God rest her soul. Here she is:

My cat has been just about everywhere in our kitchen. The other just sits where the instant pot belongs when it’s in use.

It’s nothing but difficult to tell which local is actually best represented above in this hot case scenario? Could it be Local 58 Electricians, Firefighter Local 215 or IUPA Local 21? No bat rope required!

Does Puck yodel when he’s up there?

My cats need only one intermediate step to get to the top of a fridge, and sometimes not even that. And when they miss, I get the “I meant to do that” look.

Puck, who does not compete. The path looks very accurate based on my observations.

I love that there’s a trash bag in the garbage pail.

" What’s UP, pussycat? Whoa……. According to Mike Ditka’s panthers, UP is the University of Pittsburgh. Actually, this whole scene looks like some rental property at Sealevel, NC where Norwegian cats are are out of Georgia and actually in German music appreciation class listening to ‘Cats on the Coast’

Even after all this time Goldie still looks stunned at what the Good Boys do.

It seems I’m way pass Georgia on the cat hoarder scale, we seem to have new female member, #8 now, Miss D, living with us. Just proves that not all crazy cat people are women, my husband brought this one home (well, he’s brought home 6 of the other 7 too).

Good news is I got my BCN face masks with the gang on them, as well as Ms. Beatrix being her cute little self!

I’ve seen Bandit literally jump from the floor up to the top edge of the fridge (and we are talking a fridge like Puck’s on). He had to pull himself up the rest of the way, but it was an impressive sight to watch.

You’re a true adventurer, Puck!

The frigid DARE program is now starting!

Today’s Cul-de-Sac is where I got Sooti’s name from.
