Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 08, 2022

Is Goldie using a Garfield telephone?

Lupin is deaf, how did he know what she said?

Can’t wait to see El Punto Rojo and La Dama Dragon again!

I love the way Lupin and Goldie literally spring into action the instant the door clicks closed!

I fear that your protests will be unavailing, Elvis.

Go, Tusslemania!

Has Goldie learned a bit of Spanish! Good for her!

Assuming there is an apartment for the people to return to tomorrow.

Lupin’s Toe Beans in last 2 panels is awesome!! HEEHAW!!

Puck has rushed off to find his wrasslin’ boa.

And it’s scenarios like this why Mom’s standard Farewell includes “Have a good time, behave!” (I say thank you and I’ll try, the cats have yet to respond.)

A Garfield phone! How appropriate.

Nothing good can come from this!

Good grief. Lupin and Goldie, partners in… well, not Crime exactly…

No signs of Lupin’s bell today. I hope he didn’t lose it.

Is…is that one of those Garfield phones from the 80’s??

OT, Finn update

And you wouldn’t want to disobey The Woman.

“CLICK” = the sound of DOOM for the apartment…

Kool and the Gang: Celebration

Celebrate, good friends, come on!

Let’s celebrate!

Celebrate, good friends, come on!

Let’s celebrate!

…….

Tusslemania is going on right here!

The Humans are gone, it’s that time of year!

So come on Fig, and Tabitha, too

Burt, be beautiful, show us what you can do!

…….

Celebration, let’s have a wrestling match

And have a good time!

Celebration,

We’re all gonna tussle, and have a good time!

…….

It’s time for Tommy Bee, to get together,

Sophie, your art has brought us so much pleasure!

All the cats in the neighborhood, come on!

…….

Beatrix, it’s a celebration!

That’s right, it’s a celebration!

…….

Celebrate, good friends, come on!

Let’s celebrate!

Celebrate, good friends, come on!

Let’s celebrate!

Goldie has a direct line to the Ceiling Cats, that is pretty often! The next calls will probably be Big Fluffy Tommy Bee, Beatrix, and Beautiful Burt, although I wouldn’t bet on the order. I think Puck is off somewhere getting dressed. You don’t get to be Pretty Pucky without putting in the work.

I think Lupin is the hidden voice far too many of us listened to when we were teenagers!

I want to thank all of you for your kind words and thoughts. I am home with a new drain and instruction to do a saline lavage every 8 hours. I am also on some really potent antibiotics with a long list of side effects, but whose benefit in this current situation outweighs the negative.

Here’s to feeling better soon.

Leapin’ Lupin!

I am suddenly hearing Pink:

“I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started.”

“I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started.”

C’mon Elvis. Don’t be such anti-fun.

Yes, she told them to have fun and did not cancel it out like my parents usually did by following it up with: “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do”

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Great Pyramid

Beatrixia: Beaver Lee Cleary! How nice to see you here at the Great Pyramid Library!

Beaver Lee: Violet-Ifa and I are going through some scrolls of interest to us. And catching up on old times.

Violet-Ifa: And for cheese making, 637.3 is where it’s at.

Beaver Lee: And who is your young filly friend?

Diana: I’m Diana. Avenger and Emma are my daddy and mommy.

Beaver Lee: Well, I can recommend some lovely read aloud scrolls for you. Here is a classic from only a few years ago:

The Dancing Corsair by A. Meese

Elvis, can you understand him now?

Sometimes he acts a little mad

Don’t you know, no one but you can always be perfect

When things go wrong, it’s not that he’s bad

Lupin’s a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Cat, please don’t let him be misunderstood

Yeah, baby, always he’s so carefree

With a bell, he’s hard to hide

Yeah, and many times it seems that

All you ever do is worry

So why not go on and try the fun side

Oh, Lupin’s just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Cat, please don’t let him be misunderstood

Life has its problems, we all get our share

And there’s one thing that we know to be true

Lupin likes buggin’ you

But he’s just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Cat, please don’t let him be misunderstood

- Bennie Benjamin / Gloria Caldwell / Sol Marcus – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood – The Animals

Garfield phone, nice touch!

…and next time she’ll have no doubt learned to be more specific. ;)

from pcmag.com:

“Tune in this morning for the launch of the first all-private mission to the International Space Station, set to lift off at 11:17 a.m. ET.

Axiom Mission 1 will fly four civilians, including former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría, on a 10-day mission to the ISS.

Coverage of the Ax-1 launch on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavor begins at 10:15 a.m. via the NASA TV official livestream; watch on the agency’s website or YouTube channel."

He’s got you there, Elvis. Let the party commence!

I was afraid this would happen!!!

Meanwhile… maybe we should have our own house party over here, just to have some fun. We are still getting snow! And rain, then snow, then sleet, back to rain, and then back to snow again. I don’t think we will ever see spring at this rate! Oh! We just got our roof on Monday, and we absolutely love it. I have never been so happy to fork over so much money. Since it’s steel, I’m pretty sure it will outlast the house.

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…

My late aunt used to say “Be good to yourself!” instead of goodbye. Lupin would have loved her!

Just take those old records off the shelf . . .

Elvis is trying to not make the house blow up

It’s a very bad idea to teach cats how to use the phone.

Is that a cat phone? <3

Elvis may be the oldest, but I think they’d listen more to Pucky. Puck seems to have more authority as far as Goldie and Lupin are concerned. Maybe because he was the first to see Tillie and the mailman?

“Everybody Wang Chung tonight!”

The Garfield phone is a nice touch!
