Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 24, 2022

Use those toe beans, Elvis. Pat it with your paw then lick your paw.

Elvis, you can’t lick that off the top of your head any more than I can boop my own nose with my elbow … but you get major cute-points for trying!

I need that sign.

Where’s a friendly groomer when you need one?

Elvis’ tongue gymnastics are doomed. But that will not stop him from trying.

Elvis – a quick, sharp snap of your head forward will launch that piece of food off your head. Be quick about picking up the piece of food as there were three mouths salivating waiting to grab that morsel from you.

He’ll get it off, lickety split…

“Dignity” it means differwnt things to different people.

Food does not land on heads in these parts. The slaves are too highly trained to allow such a thing to happen.

Not possible.

OT: me

Puck, your moment has arrived!

Oh yes. Only Elvis can pull this off in a dignified manner!

That is one laugh-out-loud panel!!!

Ding Ding! Round one, Elvis weighing, in at 12 pounds throws a lick punch! But the 1 oz kibble, avoids the dignified blows and keeps landing on Elvis’s noggin like a head rest! Woo boy! This fight may last for hours, folks!

The last panel cracks me up.

Food falling on anyone’s head does not happen in this house. If it’s falling is generally caught mid-air by my dobe

Goldie toe beans and paw pad and Elvis rear toe beans!

It’s like Jort’s and trash can incidents.

OT:

Oh boy, first Goldie and Lupin teamed up to clean, now they’re tormenting Elvis together. They could be quite a powerful force if they keep this up.

Yes, this is what happens when there is no mutual cooperation. You try to do it all yourself, and you look so dignified!

Sometimes you just need to ask a friend for help.

HAHA this is the funniest one yet!

This is a regular occurrence at the cat colony. I think they do it on purpose for a snack later.

Repeat after me, Elvis, “it’s not food, it’s that angry leprechaun’s hat.”

It’s easy — no matter what ridiculous-looking thing you do first, just follow it with an “I meant to do that” slow strut away. Works every time.

Yeah, that’s not happening, Elvis—there’s nothing dignified about that even if you do succeed.

This more often happens when a cat insists on sitting in your lap while eating. My cats are generally NOT lap cats, so my reaction varies. Believe me, when warm oatmeal gets dropped on a cat, the cat does not enjoy licking it off.

That last panel is a masterpiece

Well, Elvis. At least you can touch your nose with your tongue! (Not everyone can do that!!) … :)

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Groomers, aka Barbara’s Shop

Elvis-Anum: As you can see, I spilled a bit of cream on myself at breakfast.

Barbara: No problem. We’ll have you all ready in a jiffy. Would you like a warm towel? It’s great for whisker fatigue.

Elvis-Anum: Sounds great. I see your apprentices lying on the towels over there getting them nice and toasty.

Barbara: Nothing but the best for my customers. Would like a manicure while we’re at it?

Elvis: That’s not something I thought you did.

Barbara: Yes. I’ve been doing manicures since Beatrixia was old enough to have them.

Elvis: Then I’ll go with the expert.

Going to need to use the paw Elvis and then it will smear down your face and all over your paws.

You aced it Elvis, very dignified XXX

just yeet it off

Dignity goes out the window in this case, Elvis.

Use your paws when you can’t reach it with your tongue.

My cat: FEEL THE WRATH OF MY CAT FOOD! Me: stop it!!!!!!!

Elvis, all your fellow cats will happily help groom your head. Give peace (or a piece of Kibble) a chance,

Is there no new strip for Wednesday?

Has Georgia ever missed a day?

No Wednesday BCN? It’s the End Of The World! We’re all doomed!

The E-mail version’s updated…

Noon on Wednesday and I’m still getting Tuesday’s comic as current. I wonder if it’s a DNS problem.

Georgia posted her thoughts on her FB site, and probably on IG. Being the mother of 2 children, Georgia speaks from the heart, and very powerfully.

I won’t post the text here, but those of us who can access these sites should read it, and just think about what she is saying. Here is the link

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Lupinium: I feel like I’ve done all of this before.

Puckmosis: Yes, it’s like deja vu all over again.

Tabith-Isis: I think it’s time to do some investigating.

At the Artist’s studio

Sophititi: I’ve been making artwork with found objects. Today I noticed the work I had done yesterday was gone and all the objects were where I found them the day before.

Maat-Tilda: And the tapestry I had started seems to be all undone.

At the Royal Library

Beatrixia: I went to the Hidden Library yesterday. At least I thought I did. But the scrolls I shelved were taken down again.

Tabith-Isis: I am here interviewing the Royal Procurers. Ladies, do you have any insights on what is happening?

Agnes-Ata: Well, normally we would never tell. But in this instance we would. But we just don’t know.

Tabith-Isis: And there you have it. We will keep reporting on this story as it develops.

It’s May 25th. I’m still seeing yesterday’s strip.
