Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 07, 2021

Elvis – not a fan.

Do you really think that after all the ruckus you created last night, not to mention the destruction (that nobody else was invited to participate in) that you caused, that you’re entitled to sleep peacefully naked in the bathtub?

I think not!

If only he weren’t so darn cute asleep like that, I’d . . . I’d . . . well, he is so darn cute asleep like that, so I guess we’ll never know.

Lupin toe beans!!!!

(And perhaps even tummy! It’s hard to tell…)

“No pants for miles”, No Pants Day, donate clothes to thrift stores or organizations who support the needy.

All cats are so peaceful (and cute) when they sleep.

So those of us going for the sink were close.

Who suspected he was in the tub? I guess you win.

I love the partial outline in the bath mat.

Let me borrow that stick…

I have a demotivational poster-type image somewhere of a sarcastic-looking cat in a sink and the caption: LOVE means not turning the water on (even when you really really want to).

Fortunately for Lupin, he smuggled some antacids to the Mousey Ladies when they ate too much of the pie they heisted. If I recall correctly, Natasha called Lupin, ‘a prince’. (Yes, I just checked; she did: https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2019/12/01)♥

Hmmm, I wonder if they’ll ‘tap’ into his peace or if they’ll ‘faucet’ to flee? Sometimes you just need to let Lupin’s lie.

Natasha is showing truly remarkable restraint! Not sure I could resist either a belly kiss or a poke!

No Pants Day reminded me of this classic. https://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/its-really-hot-today/

Jellybean toes!

Go on, Natasha. You know you really want to.

Ok, here it comes… SQUEEEEEEE!

OK, who’s miles?

You zoomed all around in your own dusty cloud

When we don’t see the why or the wherefore

You ran noisily ‘cause you’re out of your tree

And to reason is not what you care for

I’ve seen it all a million miles before

Where are your clothes, my Cat!, put on your drawers

Don’t sleep in the tub, hey, Lupin, don’t fall in the gaping drain

Asleep in the tub, hey, Lupin, the night was long

But bet your cute behind, nothing’s wrong

Now that we’re beside you again ❤️

I love Natasha.

Elvis looks like he may want to turn the faucet on….. Anyhow, congrats to anyone who thought Natasha would find a camouflaged Lupin!

So Lupin doesn’t sleep with his eyes open?

No, Elvis. You is wrong. Cats are not the greatest monster. The real monsters are the mice who are destructive pests and spread dangerous diseases. Pounce upon them and eat them now!

So adorable!

“All the friendship in my not to poke him with a stick” I’m left wondering if I like anyone THAT much?

This stick was made for pokin’. That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna take this stick . .

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, how cute is he!…living dangerously, but utterly adorbs!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Has anyone seen Lupinium lately?

Elvis-Anum: You mean since he finished his last Zoomie episode?

Beatrixia: I heard he was planning on celebrating No Pants Day today after a long nap.

Elvis-Anum: Isn’t it hard to celebrate No Pants Day when we all wear tunics anyway?

Enter Sophititi, Maat-Tilda, and Adobe Style

Bea: Adobes! I didn’t know you were coming!

Adobe Style: It was a surprise. And we have a surprise for all of you.

Maat-Tilda: Yes. We’ve designed pants for all of you. But you can’t wear them until tomorrow, since today is No Pants Day.

Puckmosis: Fair enough. I think we should follow Lupinium’s lead and celebrate the way he is.

Sophititi: Good idea.

All:ZZZzzzzzzz

Well, I was relatively close with the bathroom sink.

Upside down mouse! Upside down mouse! Upside down Robber Mouse, oh the squeee!!!

No one bathed during all this hullabaloo, huh? OMC! :-O

Wow.

Years ago, friends of ours came over for dinner. It was a project to have them come over because the wife had some kind of phobia about small animals, they frightened her. The irony was she worked in the office at a zoo. Go figure?

Anyway, they came to dinner and our four cats scattered and would not come back out until they left. After dinner, the wife went to use the bathroom and while she was sitting there, Snickerdoodle’s the siamese popped out from behind the shower curtain! We heard the scream all the way into the living room. That was about 1998 and they never came to the house again.

Now, are the cats and robber mice going to let the People in on where Lupin is and that they don’t have to worry about being bitten?

OT: I just adopted a eleven year old green eyed tiger, tabby mix. She may be 11 but she acts like 5. Boy has she got energy. She is wearing me out! But she has done a lot to take my mind off losing my husband. I have no time to sit and cry….I am too busy taking care of Tia.

toe beans!

Bet it would take more than the friendship in her to resist turning on the water if she could do so.

The third panel is my fav! :) My cat sometimes chills in the sink, but each time I have to pull her away because she’s always scratching the mirror :)

This arc was all about “No Pants Day”? I love it. This shows planning and foresight and not just a gag for today. I love this strip. Thank you, Georgia

Let sleeping cats lie – at least until it’s time for a shower.

Looking at panel three, it’s hard to believe there’s so much chaos in him.

O.T. We got a pass for the synchronous firefly viewing at GSM State Park!!! I’m so looking forward to this!

Lupin’s sleeping it off. Whatever it was. :D

One of the mice needs to sneak up onto the Man’s shoulder and whisper in his ear, “You need to take a shower.” If he’s like me, he’s not looking at the bottom of the tub when he cuts on the water..

OT: Frankenputer

OT:

Invisi-Lupin is always spectacular, but this instance may be my favorite (so far).

This was remarkable timing. My own little black panther went missing for three days. I was starting to panic, when she showed up happy, content, and with fur missing from all the fun she had had. :P

Who’s Miles, and why can’t he have any pants?

Aw..I don’t know why cats seem to like bathtubs and sinks to sleep in, but many of my previous cat inhabitants have been found in those locations, just as content as Lupin.

Oh give it up, Elvis. You know he’s so darned cute. And you’re just jealous he can go invisible and you can’t.

he looks so sweet <3 look at those toe beans

Lupin comes equipped with TurboCute …

OT: My father just went to my mother and said, “It’s time.” Their cat has been ill for some time. She seemed to not mind it for the longest time, but she whimpered at my father when he petted her early this morning. Gretchen is going to join her brother Gus at the other side of the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon.

If I know Gus, his first act will be to poke his sister. He always loved riling her up.

The no pants for miles statement nearly made me loose my tea as I was drinking it. Now I am trying to find a way to use this in normal conversation.

We have a family friend who has 12 little kittens. I went there when I was little and remember getting hurt twice. The first time one of the cats scratched my face near my eye, the second time I don’t remember exactly what happened but I was playing with 2 of my brothers and got hurt, and while I was in pain crying one of the cats came down to see what happened. That cat was really shy and always hid under a bed so I never saw it till that moment and I never forgot that.This for some reason reminded me of that story and I never forgot it because it was a special moment for me. I was 4 when this happened.

Would be best not to wake him.

Today, the 7th is Trevor’s 11th birthday!
