Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 18, 2022

So cute

The hot stove is pretty cute, all right. And apparently the cactus is here to stay. Saguaro you going to handle this prickly situation, Elvis?

Excuse you, I am committing outrage here!

Elvis’s sarcasm is completely lost on Puck…….

I absolutely need one of those.

Well, Mr. Fussy Paws, what would be an aesthetically-pleasing-non-threatening novelty scratching post?

Elvis’ sarcasm is lost on Puck. Plant of Many Teeth / Cactus can be our friend. Must not know Midnight at the Oasis.

I think Lupin would like a china cabinet scratching post. Leave it to Puck to make a hot stove look cute. I haven’t been stove shopping in awhile, but I’ve never seen an oven door with a round window.

Elvis, how right can you be in pointing out predatory marketing? So very right.

OK, Elvis was really funny there….

Elvis, you’re nowhere near a point and you know it. Puck has to keep the audience so there’s a point to your point.

Elvis, please! The venomous snake scratching post.

All those posts are failures. They’re just gonna have to start from scratch…

Venomous, Elvis. The word is venomous.

But I guess Mr. Angry Face is too angry to care about proper terminology!

Mr. Fussy Paws should know it’s rude to point.

OT: Progress

If humans had sarcastic scratching posts, it would be a Lego block!

Elvis toe beans!

“Cats get your People/Person to buy you the new (and adorable) Hot Stove Scratching Post!

Have you been warned away from the real thing after being enticed by its warmth and shininess? Has a “no-no spray bottle” been employed to keep you off of it? So frustrating, right? Well now’s your chance to put your delicate paw pads all over one!

Rip out this ad and put it where your People/Person can see it. Maybe rip out 2-3 as we all know how clueless People can be at times. Soon you, too, will be enjoying this wonderful new novelty scratching post!"

@GDSMom

And how is your recovery? Are you back to punching bears, wrestling crocodiles, and brachiating through the forest?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Floofnet the Joyous: I would love to bring back some of my old recipes to teach my culinary students. Is there some way I can have copies made of the scrolls?

Puckmosis: Yes. The Royal Scribe, Elvis-Anum, does exquisite work. And the Artists can add their flair, too. Right, Adobe Style?

Adobe Style: Yes. I also think it would be good to create a mural illustrating some of the more important points of cooking.

Floof: Do you have some examples?

Adobe Style: Maybe have some posters about safety in the kitchen. We could have a picture of a hot stove with instructions on how to use it safely.

Floof: I like that idea. I’ll get my staff together to plan.

Puckmosis: I can do some mock ups, and the Artists can make a great finished product.

Floof: I know you must be busy. When can we start?

Beatrixia: If you have any staff available, I’ll meet with them for suggestions after our breakfast nap.

Elvis’ sarcasm is glorious and absolutely on point, but Puck running the wrong direction with it got a genuine cackle out of me.

Puck, you are adorable.

I think it is time to bring up a thorny issue, and I will get straight to the point.

Elvis has every right to be bristling at the spikiness of the cactus post. Although there are times that Elvis can be a prickly-pear himself, I think all agree he is a sharp cat concerning such a piercing issue. And, while our senior reporter can offer up the occasional barbed retort to spiny topic, I believe he jabbed the point home with razor-sharp bite.

I know one sure-fire way to get Elvis on to that scratching post: Have Some Other Cat try it out first!

There used to be a row of ash trees down my street, which had to be cut down when they succumbed to a fungal disease. Whenever I walked her after that, Sandy would roll around on the cut stumps before they were ground down, as if they were catnip. If I’d known she was going to have that reaction, I’d have asked the arborists to cut me a slice of one.

Sassy boy!

Indeed it is, Puck. Thanks for sharing.

The “Mutts” comic strip is running a BCN affiliate this week.

Oh gosh, that hot stove scratching post IS rather adorable. :D

Sleeping baby….?

Mark Twain wrote about the difference between a man and a cat. “If a cat sits on a hot stove, that cat won’t sit on a hot stove again. That cat won’t sit on a cold stove either. That cat just don’t like stoves.”

VENOMOUS snake…it’s only poisonous if you eat it and die……

About 20 years ago I saw a huge – 7 ft, I think, – yellow banana cat tree which was hollow and had openings for the cats to crawl out and climb the banana. It was pricey, too. Too bad it didn’t come along in the 80s or 90s, it would have dropped right in with Memphis decor.

hehehe … cute Pucky, always!

It wasn’t wow what a shocker.

Never thought I’d see the day when one of Pucky’s posters was not helpful.

It’s a therapeutic scratching post. Cats can face their fears in a safe environment.

Sarcasm is my first language. English is a close second. Laughter comes in at a tight third with four un graceful cats in residence.

Those middle 2 panels and Elvis’s statements made me think of one thing – Irwin Mainway and the unsafe toys skit from SNL.

Can’t believe no one has linked this yet….too adorable! Georgia and the new tiny tortie Ora Zella.

Crazy cat love to watch people in the bathroom !

Sorry Puck, but I’m with Elvis on this one.

This is so cute.

When i first read this quickly, my brain changed one letter in Elvis last line. Makes for a whole new interpretation.

well you can eat the snake
