Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 20, 2021

Everybody grab a bite of Tuna before you scatter. It may be your last chance!

Wise apex predators know when to run away!!!

Here comes the REAL apex predator!

The wrath of the woman! Turn your heads away, kids. This won’t look pretty.

I see even Goldie understands the threat. =O

What a cartuna.

Even the apex predator has to watch his back!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Lupinium: Anyone up for a game of tuna croquet?

Elvis-Anum: How would someone play a game where you hit wooden balls with a mallet on a grass field using tuna?

Lupinium: I don’t know, but Thomios said he has some leftover tuna and he’s making croquet.

Elvis-Anum: And he’s wasting perfectly good tuna by having us hit it on the field?

Enter Puckmosis, with lunch plate

Puckmosis: Anyone up for a game of croquet after lunch?

Lupinium: What are we having?

Puckmosis: Thomios is making fried tuna cakes from leftover tuna.

Elvis-Anum:Thomios means tuna croquettes, you goof!

She Who Must Be Obeyed!

Credence Clearwater Revival: Bad Moon Rising

I see the the No, No Squirt Bottle

I see the Woman on the way,

I see earthquakes and lightnin’

We’d better scatter every which way!

…….

Don’t go around tonight

Better stay out of sight

The Woman’s wrath is on the rise!

…….

I hear angry words a-coming!

I know the spray is coming soon

I fear bottles over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin!

…….

Don’t go around tonight

Better stay out of sight

The Woman’s wrath is on the rise!

…….

Hope you enjoyed that bit of tuna,

Hope you are prepared to be wet,

Looks like we’re in for nasty weather

The Woman is gonna get us yet!

…….

Don’t go around tonight

Better stay out of sight

The Woman’s wrath is on the rise!

They are doomed!

Well, tuna comes right out of the carpet, right? Even the smell?

So it’s . . . not that big a deal?

Um, maybe everybody should . . . disappear . . . for a while.

(Maybe even the Man.)

You has been tunaughty, kitties. You can’t gets off the hook so easy.

And there is a truth often made about fighting. No-one wins.

Run Away! … RUN AWAY !! … :)

I normally don’t bring grim stuff here, because, y’know, happy place but… I hope no one here has friends or family in Afghanistan…

They soiled the woman’s floor! Oooh, dey in trouble..! *<:)

I love how happy Lupin looks whenever he knows he’s in trouble!

Lupin is loving it!

::tiny hisss!::

When it comes to being in trouble, it looks like Lupin and Goldie can be on the same page.

It’s the cops! RUN!

“The Big Pink House. Famous for its lil’ jungle cats. The supreme apex hunters. Though fierce and determined, they don’t have the size to seize prey from larger People. They must act together if they hope to snatch a meal of tuna sandwich. They do not hunt alone. They know there is strength in numbers. And here there are not just three but four lil’ jungle cats. If they change their tactics they can take their prey by surprise. If they fail, they risk not getting any tuna. But if they get it right, the rewards can be huge.

One lil’ jungle cat acts as a hissing decoy, drawing the Man’s attention away. Suddenly two of the others strike! A quick and deadly swat and suddenly it’s all over. Except, it isn’t. Just as the lil’ jungle cats are about to feast on their meal the top Person in the Big Pink House appears. And it looks as if She’s Angry. Quickly the lil’ jungle cats scatter before the no-no spray bottle is deployed. They will have to placate Her with head boops and purrs, waiting for another opportunity for tuna." David Cattenborough

The alpha cat has entered!

Its been 5 hours since today’s BCN was posted. Le’Letha, are you there and okay?

Cats and carpet don’t mix. But more important announcement: Toe bean alert!!

Scurry for your lives!!!

Run far, run fast, hide!

You all know how I hate to say “I told you so!” ROTFL

It’s all fun and games until someone stains the carpet.

Oh crud-

Uh-oh.

Apex predators have met apex Woman!

looks like my kitties when ever I open the fridge

Tuna? My cats wouldn’t scatter even if I yelled. They’d be all over it while I was trying to clean up.

Any moment, the vacuum will own the tuna sandwich.

Run! Scatter! Hide!

Apex, fearsome, hmm, next time will just turn the vacuum on

The pawpurrazzi makes a mess of things again and runs away when confronted by the angry public.

The party’s over

It’s time to call it a day

You’ve made a pretty big mess

And now must scatter away

It’s time to turn the sandwich-grab page

Just make your mind up the Woman will rage

The party’s over

Your snatchin’ prospects are dim

You swatted and schemed with delight

It seemed to be right just bugging him

Now you must dash off, all dreams must end

Take off and hole up, the party’s over

It’s all over, my friends

“We got Tuna on the Carpet!” …… Much like,

" You Got Chocolate on my Peanut Butter !!! " …

Only … WAY different! … :)

John Mullaney fans???

Well, that didn’t go like they planned at all, now did it?

O.T.I have a pvc cat tree that has little plastic round beds. The beds have lightweight pads that are easy for the cats to remove if they want. I’ve been missing one of the pads for about a month now. There are three beds, the cats only use one and it was getting loose so yesterday I decided to tighten the bolts. After getting on the stepstool and removing the pad I discovered a comic book they had taken from the bookshelf. Under that was the missing pad. Under the missing pad were two more books! Why? Why on earth? Might it be a princess and the pea situation?

Everybody runs from Momma when she’s angry.

Thanksgiving 1985. Ms Sassafrass leaps up and pulls a drumstick out of my cousin’s hand and scrambles out to the porch. Cousin’s screams drowned out by everyone’s laughter. All the kittehs ate well that day.

“Apex predator stuff” always makes a mess!

Busted! Muss the carpet at your peril.

Puck’s grin. Oh no. Lupin’s grin. Oh boy.

Lupin: “I’ll hide under the people’s own feet! They’ll never think to look for me there!”

They changed their tuna right quick. Hey, lookie here… 6" Tuna on whole wheat.

One thing I don’t get: Goldie adopted the “man” as her human, just as Elvis did with the “Woman” and “The Girl”. So why is she being so mean to him?

Five of our seven cats have made it quite clear that I am their human. They don’t fight over it but share instead. They may politely ask for me to share some food with them, depending on if it’s good for them the get a taste of course, but they’d never treat me like the BCN crew are treating their humans – even for tuna fish, or salmon or lobster.

Big fierce predators indeed. It takes a lot of work to train a kitten not to steal your food. Some of them never learn.

OT: Feral guy?

Sending prayers, boops and purrs to those in New England.

Did Georgia respond overnight to our ‘apex predator’ thread??

When hunting goes wrong!

I love how the carpet matches the eyes of the Pirate Ballerina.

See, the wimp looses the tuna sandwich. But the real apex predator chases off the beta predators with a mighty roar.

Landing tuna is never trivial …

OOO! You guys did it now. You ticked Georgia off.

I love it when Puck hisses. He’s so cute.

Let the cats have the tuna. There should be much less mess to clean up after.

Even the lamp looks shocked.

The woman should let them eat the tuna from the carpet. Less for her to clean up.

The cats are all scared except Lupin who, from his laughing face, thinks it’s exciting.

I blame the man. He did willfully, knowing he lived in a house with four cats and two kids, make a conscious decision to eat a tuna fish sandwich in a room with carpet. He should have stayed in the kitchen. Preferably over the sink. An acceptable alternative would have been if he’d locked himself in the bathroom to eat. It’s all his fault, making bad choices.

WE ARE FEROCIOUS!

WE ARE FIERCE!!

WE ARE STRONG!!!

WE CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER???

Let them eat tuna cakes.l

Henri is poised to make landfall around Georgia’s old state. Prayers for all her friends and neighbors to be safe, and everyone else there.

BREAKING CAT NEWS ISN’T IN THE TOP 12TH!! WE’RE DOOMED!!!

Scatter like there’s no tomorrow!

The joy Lupin takes in making mischief just warms my heart. LOL
