Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 17, 2021

Regret would be . . . undignified.

If the rolling ride in that pumpkin makes Elvis hork up his most recent meal, now that would be difficult to puke up with much dignity.

Going over Niagara table in a barrel…

So funny to see Elvis rolling off in the plastic pumpkin. Yes, that’s usually Lupin’s shenanigans!

I DEMAND photos of this. There must be photos. Please let there be photos?

Sunday Funday

Awwwww! Elvis’ little fangs!! ♥

♬Ride ride ride the wild gourd

Ride ride ride the wild gourd

Ride ride ride the wild gourd

Gotta take that one last ride!♬

Profound regret in 3, 2, 1….

Did Elvis roll off the table … or was he pushed? {duh, duh, duuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh}

This is my new favorite strip. :D

Elvis makes a very dignified Jack-o’-lantern.

“No regerts”

Elvis is having a smashing time.

Good ol’ Johnny Cash could have made a song of it – ooops there it is:

I hide myself today

To see if I still fit

In fake pumpkins I say

I hope that it’s not lit

I look out of the hole

The old familiar thing

Try to laugh it all away

But I got stuck I think

What have I become?

My sweetest friend

Everynow I know I roll away

In the end

And you could have it all

My adventure of intense

I won’t let you down

I’ll make you laugh out hence

Yes, Elvis deserves an adventure once in a while!

He’s going to be trapped forever inside that pumpkin. He’s doomed.

It’s impossibly tiny!

Lupin might not be the first to squash himself in the pumpkin but are there any bets on if he’ll be the second cat to do so?

If he fits he sits.

Well here’s 3 words I’ve never put together before: Flying pumpkin Elvis!

Lupin paw pad!

“Cat-abunga!”

John Denver and Peter, Paul, and Mary: Leavin’ on a Jet Plane

Well it’s impossibly small, and very cozy

I’m all curled up inside this pumpkin

I’m ready for adventure like Lupin

Well the pumpkin’s rolling, I’m gonna fall

Right off the table, and that ain’t all,

I’m ready to roll around the floor!

…….

I’m blissfully smiling,

So full of adventure I’m ready to sing

I’m gonna roll, let’s see how far this goes!

…….

I’m rolling in a pumpkin!

I don’t know when I’ll leave again!

…….

Oh, friends, I’m having fun

There’s so many times I stayed behind,

So many times I couldn’t find

A reason to do some silly thing

Off the table is where I’ll start to go

The room has so many things to show,

And then I’ll nap, opportunities it brings!

…….

I’m blissfully smiling,

So full of adventure I’m ready to sing

I’m gonna roll, let’s see how far this goes!

…….

I’m rolling in a pumpkin!

I don’t know when I’ll leave again!

And I thoughts it’d be Puck O The Lantern.

In real life, Elvis has just celebrated his birthday … is he enjoying his second childhood? (In Elvis’ case, it truly might be his first – such a serious cat!)

OT: New Family Member

No hesitation. No tears and no hearts breakin’. No remorse.

Roll on, Elvis!!

He’s gonna go where he wants to go

Do what he’s wants to do

With whatever he’s gonna do it with

And he’s gotta roll where he wants to roll

It’s what he meant to do

With whatever dignity he can imbue

We don’t understand why cats act like this since time began

Three thousand miles, that’s how far he’ll roll

He said to Lupin, “Please don’t follow”

So, he’s gotta go where he wants to go

Do what he wants to do

With whatever he wants to do it with

We must understand that a cat like Elvis has no plan

He’ll be gone a week, as Lupin tries so hard

Not to show he feels confined

Not to be the cat who’s left behind (left behind)

Babe, let’s all go where we wanna go (go where we want)

Do what we wanna do (do what we want)

With whoever we want (go where we want, do what we want)

- J. Phillips – Go Where You Wanna Go – The Mamas & the Papas

Get your pumpkin runnin’

Rollin’ off the table

Lookin’ for adventure

And whatever comes our way!

Okay – I wonder if THIS is based on something that happened IRL.

CRASH!!

Thank Cat it’s not a real Jack-O’-Lantern, or Elvis would wind up smelling like . . .

Pumpkin Spice!!!

Nooooooooo.

I, too am surprised it was elvis and not lupin

Oh! Elvis! I was thinking this would be a cool way to introduce Iggy! I am guessing it may be months before he is introduced as it was with Goldie.

Am I the only one nominally disappointed that Tillie didn’t make a return appearance in today’s Sunday strip?

Well. Wasn’t expecting that. You feeling all right, Elvis? :P

To borrow a line from Pucky from a while ago: “Annnd he’s stuck!”

Show one with the lid on. :)

I miss the ’90s when bread was still good for you and no one knew what kale was.

Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think “That can’t be accurate.”

My wife asked me to take her to one of those restaurants where they make food right in front of you. I took her to Subway. That’s when the fight started.

OK guys, this is odd…twice I posted my jokes under the Sunday Funday replies, and they ended up in another place. I went back and copied all, then trashed the original, and put them under SF AGAIN— and now they are scattered throughout the comments. Sorry ’bout that, but not up to trying it again.

Everyone is allowed the occasional adventure. Sometimes, it’s mandatory!

.

Regrets are optional, but highly recommended.

Did he bounce or was he pushed?

…now I’m going to put mine down off the shelf and see what my cat does??

Oh, that Jack, babe, has such teeth, dear

And he shows them smiling bright

Just a table underneath, babe

And Jack keeps Elvis, ah, cozy out of sight

Ya know when that Jack lights up his wick, babe

Scorching hot waves start to spread

Asbestos pants, oh, wears Elvis ’gainst the heat, babe

So there’s never, never a trace of dread

Look out Goldie, Lupin and Pucky, paws on the ground

Yes, it’s almost Halloween night, babes

Now that Jack is back in town

Look out, for Elvis is rollin’ ’round

(Kurt Weill / Bertolt Brecht / Marc Blitzstein – Mack the Knife)

Remember, Elvis: Any landing you walk away from is a … dignified … landing.

Update:

Things are progressing. Reboot has come into the room with Update a few times to hiss at her. At first it was just one quick hiss then Reboot would run away. Now he hangs around for 3 or 4 hisses before he leaves at a slower pace. Database has decided the safest place to be is on the washer.

Update’s appetite has improved and she is now scarfing down foods that require a bit of chewing and has even tried a bit of kitten chow. I keep kitten chow and water available at all times. She seems to prefer water to the kitten milk which is about where I’d expect her at around 6 weeks. She also likes to pounce and bite which is fine for her toys, but not when she tries to pierce my ears when I’m asleep. She is almost big enough to jump out of the tub on her own and then there will be no stopping her. She can climb from the floor onto my bed all by herself and her favorite place to sleep is under my hair or on my micro-bead pillow.

It’s a box, OK? It doesn’t have right angle corners but it’s still a box.

I love Lupin’s tail poof at the Elvis Jack-in-the-pumpkin!!

Instead of Jack in the Box, you have Siamese in the Pumpkin!

No regrets until you hit the floor, and the cheap pumpkin squishes and traps you inside. The Woman to the rescue.

OT, for kitten lovers

Oh nooooo, you will be even more Orange now!!! I hope it’s a bouncy pumpkin!!!

I hope something happens to enrage Elvis while he’s in there. I’d love to see him go puffy, pumpkin style!

Elvis as the Cat of Adventure?

I had a costume like that. Wish I never lost it, it was real cozy.

Check out Bohemian Catsody on YouTube. It’s worth 5 minutes of your time even if you’re not a big Queen fan.

One small step for a Siamese…

Okay, the last panel made me guffaw!

I love panel 3 with Puck and Goldie. They’ve got that real co-host anchor vibe there

Today’s strip is really gourd. Go, Elvis!

Oh my goodness! I love this that last panel !

Asking for prayers and purrs ! Yall the best !

My Tazi used to do this!
