Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 10, 2021

Nothing is cuter than a big gentle dog and a tiny little one (of just about any species)

[possibly not alligators]

{although baby alligators are pretty cute}.

Oh that sweet little pointy kitten tail and all those itty bitty toe beans. Trevor wins the able to sleep through a kitten storm belt buckle.

Beatrix is HIS kitten and that’s all that counts.

OT

Look at that cute kitten go!

I kept wrestlemania on TV while picking up email tonight. I had to turn the sound off, though. I could see that they tried to make a story out of it, with the beaten down suddenly coming back and beating the other guy, and then reversed. There must be more to it to keep shrewd fans like Georgia and the Man interested.

Our rescue from last fall, Shadow, seems to have had a hard life. He has a reoccurring worm in his eye and our vet so far has us treating him with deworming medication like droncit and panacur for tapeworm. For a while it seemed liked it was going away but we’re not so sure now. Did some looking and found something about a fly and tear ducts and a different kind of worm. He is a very kind and sweet boy and loves to play. If anyone can offer any thoughts it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wish I had video of Tisiphone and Peregrine (left, Tissie is the one with the surgery-shave. She’s really that much smaller than the boys) when Tissie was a kitten and Peri was playing nanny cat. Peri was laying there serenely while Tissie was hanging off his neck, ferociously trying to rip his throat out with her tiny kitten fangs

Whomever was worried yesterday that Beatrix was being left out need not have worried. ;-)

OT

OMC! That tiny little cat-face wrestling belt! So darling. (More darling than intimidating, lol!) Are those green feathery things tied onto her wrists or the sleeves of her costume?

I see El Punto Rojo on the Zoom screen (or whatever it is) but I can’t tell if there are any others showing.

The quick Tortie Kitten jumps over the sleeping dog…

Oooh yeeeaaahh.

Trevor doesn’t mind Bea playing ruff.

AAAhhh, sweet dreams sugar XXX

That last panel is absolutely adorable!

Nailed it! Beatrix, to wrestle with Trevor, you first have to get his attention!

♥ I love a big gentle giant of a dog, especially when they indulge a kitten’s antics. ♥

Trevor smiling as Beatrix is all over him is so sweet.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Well, we finally got the Royal Library all cleaned up and set to rights. Hopefully Elvis-Anum will approve when he wakes up.

Tabith-Isis: Have we determined the winner of this year’s Rasseling Competition?

Lupinium: I think we need a tie-breaker.

Maat-Tilda: I think we have plenty of broken things.

Beatrixia: Well, we can have another match. Just not in the Royal Library.

Sophititi: Why not a climbing match? Tillie and I have been working on making climbing curtains.

Puckmosis: And tonight is the Bi-Monthly Running of the Cats. Everyone in?

Serfig-Aro: Yes. I suggest we all get a good meal and then nap.

Lupinium: Capital idea!

Now that’s more like it. Beatrix is a powerhouse.

She performs Trevor’s zoomies for him. What a friend she is!

I love the friendship between Beatrix and Trevor. She looks so happy bouncing off him and he looks so happy being bounced on.

Why merely walk around Trevor from his tail to his ears when you can bounce around, over, and behind him seven times?

Beatrix, you are such a cute girl. And bless you, Trevor, for your infinite patience with her.

Ain’t no stoppin Bea now!

She’s got the moves!

Ain’t no stoppin Bea now!

She’s in the groove!

There’ve been so many reasons to feel down

But now with Bea, good times are finally comin’ around

I know we’ve got a long long way to go

And where we’ll end up, Cat only knows

Bea’s joyful wrestling on Trevor’s back

So adorable together

Just what we need, that playful attack!

If you felt we couldn’t be happy before

I know you’ll refuse to accept sadness anymore!

Bea won’t let nothing, nothing

Stand in her way!

I want ya’ll to listen, listen

To every word I say, every word I say!

Ain’t no stoppin Bea now!

She’s on the move!

Ain’t no stoppin Bea now!

She’s got the groove!

Sweet Bea…

Eternal kitten.

A classic example of an irresistible kitten meeting an immovable dog.

My female tabby cat has a surprise move she uses on the neighbor’s male, orange tabby. Friendly cats often flop on the ground near each other and roll around. Colette would flop on the ground while facing away from him, then flip over with her paws in his face, whack him on top of the head and immediately submit. He didn’t know what to do – submission is like “king’s X”. He would chase her when she got up, which is what she wanted in the first place.

This strip is very appropriate for National Siblings Day!

Not “wrestling” so much as “Using Trevor as a trampoline”

Beatrix is one talented kitten.

I know Bea is smaller than Trevor, but does she seem particularly smaller today to anyone else? Looks more like a month or two next to Trevor today when I seem to recall her looking more a quarter his size before.

It’s time for TUSSLEMANIA II, Georgia!

There is such a thing as eye worms, Thelazia gulosa. I know humans can get it, I do not know about cats.
