Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 27, 2021

correct definition of sunspot (copied from google): a spot or patch appearing from time to time on the sun’s surface, appearing dark by contrast with its surroundings.

Elvis is not (will not be) amused!

Elvis is in for a rude surprise. It doesn’t seem like Lupin is interested in laying in the sun spot.

Goldie is reading up on everyone’s favorite soap! It’s Kit and Angora! [swoon!!!] And did everyone catch Buzzy’s little beach towel?

Soooo much cuteness! Where to begin? Tommy’s towel, Sophie’s 1910 swim outfit, Goldie’s bikinin, Kit Chase on the magazine cover. Be still, my heart.

Awwww!!! Fun in the sun! :D Goldie looks so fetching in her purple bikini! I think I can hear the Beach Boys’ “Surfin’ USA” playing in the background. :)

Elvis is going to catch a fit…

Tommy’s naked on camera?

OMC, Sophie is just toooooo adorable!!!!

I wonder what’s in the picnic basket?

I now have Bob Seger’s “Sunspot Baby” going through my head.

Mesmerized by Tommy’s awesome floofiness……!

I’m glad that Sophie, at least, is respectably costumed. And that Elvis is protecting his eyes with the dark glasses.

Leave Elvis in peace.

Oh my, Tommy looks like a big fuzzy pancake there!

Tommy’s tiny arm floaties are going to be challenged to keep that big fluffy boy afloat!

Sunday Funday

Tommy T. Floof! And beach battles about to begin…

Sun, sun, sun each cat has fun/ and praise the place to which they run/ who wants to put the blame? -that’s in the day’s name/ but don’t roast till you’re a toast well done…

The sun nappers are very close to the newsroom desk I see; just to the right of the desk.

Keep hydrated, Elvis.

Two Pucky white floof patch sightings!

Sophie’s fringed beach umbrella and beach towel! She’s got style.

Puck is so thoughtful, he made sure that Buzzy Mouse is not getting left out of some much needed R&R! Speaking of mice, it has been a long time since we have seen the Robber Mice, I wonder what they are up to?

I love that buzzy mouse has his own little towel❤️

A real SUN Day FUN day, eh.

OT: Cute orphan otters at SW FL rescue center:

OT

Sophie = me

Elvis looking very Siamese (if you please) with his chocolate point coloring on full display. Rare to see his light colored chest and body; we usually see his dark face and paws and tail (points).

RSoRTBs! Rare Sighting of Rear Toe Beans! Rare Sighting of …so many… Rear Toe Beans!!! Rare Sighting of (gasp, grab diary to record event) Sophie’s Rear Toe Beans!!!(hyperventilate…)

I’m not sure that’s a beach ball Lupin is preparing to hurl at Elvis. It looks more like a water balloon to me.

OFF TOPIC:Gabby is arriving sometime this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: According to the journal of Hilary from Afar, she added a sun room to the Great Pyramid.

Puckmosis: Wonder why we never found it. It would be a great place to nap.

Bea: Here is what she said:

“King Katfre wanted a luxurious litter room and a sun room added on to the pyramid. After some consideration, we were able to convert the two chariot garage to a sun room and create an outdoor chariot port.”

Puckmosis: There are the remains of some kind of structure just outside of the pyramid. I wonder if the sun room is near there.

Sometime later

Burt-Ra: I think we found where the sun room was located. It looks like there was a window that’s been bricked up.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Can you fix that?

Burt-Ra: No problem. My crew can have this sun room ready in no time.

Sometime even later

The Queen: I would like to thank Burt-Ra and his crew for creating this lovely sun room. After Lupinium makes the ceremonial Thwump, it will be ready for use.

Elvis-Anum: I’m watching you, Lupinium.

Lupinium: Thwump.

All: Zzzzzzzzzz

So much to take in . . . . cuteness overload!

All is peace and relaxation, then along comes Lupin, the one cat frat house.

Flipt

Ow

Mm, yeah

They used to think maybe they loved sun, now, baby, they’re sure

And they just can’t wait till Sunday when it warms up their floor

Now every time they spread out their towels, gotta lay themselves down

‘Cause they just can’t wait till those old sun’s rays come shinin’ down

They’re nappin’ in sunshine, whoa-oh

They’re lovin’ the fun times, whoa-oh

They’re baskin’ in sunshine, whoa-oh

And don’t it feel good

Hey, all right now

Cat, don’t they look good

Hey, yeah

(“Walking On Sunshine” – Kimberley Rew / Katrina And The Waves)

Love Elvis’s somewhat rigid attempt at relaxation, for as long as Lupin allows it anyway ;-))

Burt, is that a golden tummy or a golden ticket like for Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory invite?…..

I would LOVE to see the six kitties on their beach towels, with accoutrements, on a mug. Or (is it possible) even a beach towel.

1. Luppin throws the beach ball at Elvis.2. It hits Elvis.3. Everybody freezes because they all know what’s about to happen.4. Elvis freaks out, the balloon pops, Elvis freaks out more this time getting all the other cats freaked out.5. Armageddon

It’s weird seeing Elvis topless…

Tommy belly = DANG

8:00 am in my part of this continent and already the cats are at the southernmost window of the southernmost room waiting for me to open the curtains. Except Fred, the tuxedo, he’s on my lap as I try to write this. And scarfing down his food.

Tommy is a big ol’ floof!

Reading this as LucyLu lays in her favorite sunspot. So adorable.

Looks like the Jersey Shore on a good day. There’s more than a foot between them.

kinda OT, but really important? Can we all keep Georgia and her family, along with the whole news crew in our hearts this weekend, and the next few days? They are experiencing a killer heatwave out there and few folks in the NW have ACs. Even if there is AC, there is a risk of black outs from the strain on the power grid.

♫♫ Yes, it’s summer, my time of year… ♫♫

Please note, the sound of a towel being snapped out straight to lay out on the sun spot shall from this time forward and forever after be “flipt.”

I give up. What are the two things out in front of Goldie?

I LOVE Sophie’s Victorian/Edwardian bathing suite. I want one too.

And Buzzy looks so relaxed. He also looks really cool in those shades. And I love how friendly Goldie and Pucky are with each other.

OMC. Tommy with is little arm floats.

Buzzy Mouse sunning along with Pucky.

Perhaps the most relaxed Elbiff I have ever seen.

I just wanna rub Tommy’s fluffy belly!

I love Sophie’s whole look and the parasol is wonderful.

Sophie is definitely coming out of her shell a bit. Instead of responding to Tommy as she used to, “Not now, Thomas. I’m reading.” She says, “Mm-hmm.” Progress! She’s making such progress. ☺

I like that even though there’s no water, Tommy is wearing his water-wings. Safety first.♥

Loving Buzzy Mouse on his own teeny towel, and is that Our IX Lives tell-all magazine?!♥

Sun… Purr.

Indoor sunbathing usually does not involve such an elaborate setup because you have to keep moving to where the sun “spot” has shifted.

lol so cuteeee!

why is Tommy wearing water wings to sunbathe?
