Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 15, 2021

I don’t think that shade is providing much anonymity.♥

That ‘shade’ isn’t fooling anyone, Tommy …

Good timing on this one – I just refilled the gravity water dispenser outside for the local strays.

Gotta have that super cold mountain stream water!

Such a floofy anonymous cat. I wonder who could it be?

Looking for Robert.

It doesn’t help that the enormous fluffy cat speaking anonymously is… uh… brown.

I’ve occasionally slipped an ice cube into the regular water bowl. Seems to work.

Update for everyone who was interested in pregnant feral Bellina – more specifically those who were interested in her orange tabby boyfriend. Ginger boy has been sighted again! I opened a can of gushy fishy food at him; he was willing to come up to my second-floor door when I put it in a bowl for him and went away. He ate about half of it before getting spooked and taking off, but he must have come back because it’s all gone now. He is skinny but seems healthy. Probably about 3-4 years old.

Oh, my cat, this is hilarious!!!!!!!!!

There’s a fix for toilet moisture, but Puck wouldn’t appreciate me telling it.

They want to differentiate themselves from dogs drinking toilet water.

No toilet water licking here. None of ours ever did. I assume the first one taught the second one, etc. Cats are good about training their underlings.

Sunday Funday

First Lupin goes invisible in the bathtub, next he’s peeing on the bath mat, and now he’s licking the toilet tank! He’s a little too attracted to all things bathroom!

Who is that shady anonymous silhouette? Surely we’ve never seen such a big, floofy brown cat before!

OT: car

That anonymous cat is very anonymous. No doubt the voice has been disguised as well. But certainly no-one we know.

It’s… not quite a problem over here. And perhaps, if the cistern is leaking, a plumber may be needed?

And aside from the mystery cat, who else could be licking that pure mountain stream water?

Cute cat tongue alert!

I’ve read this strip three times and laugh as if it’s the first time.

You cats really don’t want to know what else is floating around in the air in that room. The water droplets might have condensed out of the air, but it’s likely not so pure any more

Lupin toe beans!!!!! ::::::sighs in happy raptures:::::

Eeevil hyoomans. Why doesn’t you keeps a bowl of cool water for em?

Lupin with a pointer and a graphic!

Boys you need to change your advertising strategy. You need to say is it “Born better.” Or tell other cats that “The crisp, clean taste is natural refreshment at its finest.” Also that by drinking it, you “Invigorate every day with the purified taste of the world’s most delicious water.”

Is this like a Tik Tok challenge for cats?

It’s yummy? Water you saying, Lupin?

C’mon, cats. This is a disgrace. You isn’t dogs ya knows.

For once, I agree with Elvis.

We know that Elvis isn’t about to chill out.

The cat witness protection program still has a few bugs to work out.

OT:

Ew. (we add ice cubes to their autofeed waterer)

We add ice to their dishes. It’s not too needful.

As Puck urges you, Elvis – just own it no matter the shame you seem to feel.

What’s Goldie’s view on this? Is this something Tabitha and Sir Figaro also do? Are Beatrix and Trevor divided over inside vs outside toilet bowl drinking? Come on CN crew, dig deep on this story.

If 2 men fill a tub with 1 faucet in 10 minutes how long would it take 1 man with 2 faucets to fill the same tub?

At first glance, I thought BoCH! But no, it’s…OoCH? [Outline of Cat Head]. Oh, I’ve got it now, it’s SoCH! [Silhouette of Cat Head] (specifically, silhouette of Tommy’s head, I suspect).

We keep the lid closed to avoid the swimming problem.

LucyLu will only drink out the bathroom sink. I’ve tried to get her to use water bowls of every size, color, etc. but to no avail. So everyday we empty the sink and refill.

That might be Tommy

OT: R update

… I’m in the bathroom feelin’ fine

There’s somethin’ special on my mind

Found a new way to hydrate in our neighborhood, whoa yeah

Somethin’ tells me I’m into something good

(Somethin’ tells me I’m into somethin’)

Droplets on tanks that taste like spring

One shaded cat says it’s just the thing

Elvis hates it like I thought he would

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: Puck, are you drinking from the Yummy Spring?

Puckmosis: Sure, why not?

Elvis-Anum: But that spring runs right through the north litter room.

Puckmosis: But it’s still pure and fresh.

Elvis-Anum: Alright, but still.

Thomios: I better not tell him that the Yummy Spring runs through the kitchen as well. At least it’s upstream from the litter room.

I’m guessing Elvis is refusing to participate?

I could lick water off a toilet tank and think myself king of infinite hygiene, yet there be E. coli in the air. :)

I have caught my cat drinking FROM the toilet, and NOT from licking the side. #ewww

Today the tank, tomorrow the (shudder) bowl.

This is asrialfeeple enjoying sunday funday in the hospital.

This is me trying nu hand at phoneposting in the hospital. kinda freaking out since I’m scheduled for 7:45. Please keep me in your prayers. I don’t know when I’ll be able tot post again. I want hij alle to know we have a very special place here, and I’m honored to be a part of it.May Ceiling Cat bless you all abundantly!

Who is that masked cat? Okay, anonomous cat?

My poor cats are hiding today. Loud music playing at a festival near where I live. Almost 9pm and the music is just getting louder. One of my cats Kitt needs a pill cause of his illness. Twice he spit it out and has gone back into hiding. Even with all of my windows closed I can still hear the music. Have to call his vet tomorrow about if it is okay to miss a pill for one day. I feel so bad for the two of them. Usually they’re out and about during the day and night.

Lupin’s angry eyebrows, lol

I’m with Elvis on this one.

Funny Stuff!

At first, I thought Georgia was making a Garfield joke. But then I realized It was probably our favorite Cat About Town. Unfortunately, with the curtain, we’ll never know.

A literal “shade of anonymity”! LOL!
