Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 26, 2021

Well, if there are tiny hats involved, the only downside is that Lupin is going to be attached to it constantly, and that was pretty much a given already.

And is it really a downside?

Mom is the wise woman! Of course! So cute the back and forth with Elvis…but the big selling point I naming it and putting little hats on it…..the woman LOVES little hats!

Awww, the vacuum loves the Woman’scompliments! It’s wonderful to be appreciated!

Wow, product insertion much? X-D I always wanted one!

Which of the cats will be the first to ride it? Certainly not Elvis. My money is on the Cat of Adventure, Lupin.

I call my robot Mrs. Danvers because it’s efficient and intimidating.

Paint it up like a Shriner’s car and put a fez on top.

Nana looks younger than the Woman.

@Pamm Whittaker Missed your post yesterday. My sympathies.

Well, Elvis thinks the nana is batty… uh, battable.

I love the Woman’s “Hmmm” pose. One arm akimbo, the other cradling her chin with raised eyebrows. Georgia is a master of expressions!

Where do you put a hat on a flat surface?

The Nana knows her daughter well.

The Nana is wise.

Awww, Puck’s gentle paw on the vacuum.

Dustbuster!

If you’re tired of fuzz

Coverin’ your couch

Who you gonna call?

Dustbuster!

If there’s so much shed

Underneath your bed

Who you gonna call?

Dustbuster!

It ain’t ’fraid of no dust

It ain’t ’fraid of no dust

If you’re seeing things

Floating through the air

Who can you call?

Dustbuster!

An invisible cat

Spreadin’ all his fur

Ow, who you gonna call?

Dustbuster!

Lemme tell ya something

Dustin’ makes it feel good!

It ain’t ’fraid of no dust

It ain’t ’fraid of no dust

Don’t cry and moan, oh, no

Dustbuster!

When it’s all over your floor

Unless you just want some more

The Nana says to call

Dustbuster!

Ha ha! Who you gonna call?

Plus the cats can hold roomba rodeo events. Yee haw! It’s a win win.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Librarian: Hello, friends. How can I help you?

Violet-Ifa: Beaver Cleary! Is that you?

Bev: Violet-Ifa! My goodness, how long has it been?

Violet-Ifa: Too long. Maybe we can catch up later over koffee and a scone. Do you know Adobe Style?

Bev: Sure do. We have some of your tapestries decorating the koffee shop.

Adobe Style: I must make you one for the archive room.

Violet-Ifa: What we’re looking for, Bev, is information on pyramids from the Catfu and Katfre eras. We want to follow up on the legends about whether Katfre really commissioned the Great Pyramid to be renovated, and if there really is a pyramid near the Local Oasis.

Bev: I think I know what you’re looking for. You should start with the scrolls from our famous designer, Hilary from Afar.

Adobe Style: Oh, I love her style. She’s been quite an inspiration for Sophititi, Maat-Tillie, and me. I see further visits here in the future.

Bev: Come as often as you like. There’s something here for everyone.

The Nana doesn’t like being pawed, Elvis.

Name it, huh?

Rhonda Roomba?

Ronny Roomba?

Rory Roomba?

4 cats and a robot vacum the poor robot is dead. If the kids dont break it the cats will..or be so scared of it they plot its death….or its the most expensive cat toy you will ever buy. Either way Its doomed I tell you doooommmmed LOL

Hmmm – all the possibilities…

Won’t they want to ride it?

Oooh, I wonder what hijinks the Robber Mice could get into with a robot vacuum . . .

Now that I realize the potential of little hats and thanks to the comments, costumes, I want one…. I’ve always been intrigued, but our house has a lot of odd obstacles with hardwood and rugs so I wasn’t sure how efficient it could be.

Not to dwell, but one would have lit up our sweet Dusty’s life. He loved going for rides… He’d jump in and wait for us to carry him around in the laundry basket, get on the highest cabinet in the kitchen so that we’d come and give him an “elevator” ride back down, and the best is the video we have of him sitting erect on the new rolling suitcase while we “bowled” him back and forth to each other across the living room. What a hoot he was.

J have a relative who always puts the phone on speaker and has a small house and 3 cats. When I talk to her cats by name, they get confused looking for me. So I can relate to the Nana and Elvis!

Why does it bother me that the Nana’s speech bubble is tucked behind her head?

I forget what they dynamic between Elvis and The Nana is.

:(

Little hats do make everything better.

My vote is that little Puck go first on the Roomba. He’s the active reporter on duty today, and he’s so darn cute.

I do think we have a wealth of YouTube Video opportunities here.

“… and put little hats on it.”

Welllll … If there’s ever a ‘Roomba Derby’, I’ll be taking bets! … After all, a vacuum should be FASHIONABLE !! … :)

I think a “robot vacuum” wears out pretty quickly if it is constantly harassed or ridden by full grown cats.

mom looks the same age as the daughter.

Is … is the woman having another kitten? I mean baby?

I have named our iRobot “Jeeves” but never thought of putting little hats on it. Hmmm…

I just got a wet/dry one, haven’t deployed it yet. I hope they don’t gang up on it.

I saw a cartoon not long ago of a cat selling tickets to other cats to Ride The Roomba.

Elvis doesn’t want to listen, just to mess with the Nana (even though she’s on the screen)

Im guessing Elvis likes the Nana?

ITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YYAAAAAYYYAYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAY

My gosh I feel old, Nana looks younger than me!!!!

There is a lot of story to be written when the robot vacuum arrives. My cat took about 3 months to get used to it.

Hats you say? Looks like the woman sees a festival approaching.

It’s a very good idea. Claire Luvcat on YouTube’s Kittisaurus lives in an apartment with 10 cats and vacuums twice a day – AND has a robot vacuum (it’s a vacuum/batting toy/ride) to keep up with the cleaning. If someone ever made a robot litter box cleaner that was reliable, we’d all be set.

Elvis, Puck, Lupin — who’s the fourth cat? I thought all the others were neighborhood cats, not members of the family.

We named ours Sisyphus

Sounds pretty good to me.

I, too, was enamored of the idea of the robot who would clean the fur and the crumbs…alas, three cats, two kids and the Husky-in-perpetual-shed were too much for the poor thing.

Elvis loves Nana…

The “Why do I hear the Nana?” face is now the cutest thing we have seen from Elvis.
