Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 17, 2022

Aw, Natasha got her ice cream sandwich!

Love it! Natasha found her ice cream sandwich and Violet is so creative with toilet paper!

Mr Man and Mrs Woman may not appreciate the TP Feng Shui.

The mice are insufficiently doomed.

So bathroom over dollhouse? It does have better access to water.

That’s a lot of rolls of TP , the woman wouldn’t be hording….. she must just be shopping at the big box store.

When my sister and I were kids, we had a bunk bed. I liked hanging blankets from the upper bunk to make a fort. So fun! Keep doing you, Violet!

No toe beans, but cute little pink mouse feet!

Pesky pestilential pestiferous pestering pests is running amok all over the house? Them hyoomans and cats is doomed of plague now. A vermin infestation never ends well.

Natasha has about 20 minutes of ambrosial bliss, before the sandwich divan turns to soup … a chocolate mud bath is good for the fur, isn’t it?

Covid toilet paper hoarder vibes…

Beautiful castle, Violet! As artistic as the Woman is, I’d like to believe the stack of toilet paper rolls was already castle-shaped and Violet just added the finishing touches. As the explosives expert of the Robber Mice, I’m sure the castle will be well defended.

Soooo jealous of Natasha, right now!

Sorry but all I can think of is little mousy poops all over the place. :-(

My bathroom closet home is my TP-castle…

I would like an ice cream sandwich too, please.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Kat Kiosk

Floofnet the Joyous: What a wonderful experience. I think Cactus Rum Raisin is my new favorite flavor.

Violet-Ifa: I’m kind of partial to the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream myself.

Floofnet: I’d like to teach some of these recipes to my students, but I’m not sure how to get a sufficient supply of ice.

Vi: Don’t worry. I think with a bit of research that can be arranged.

Sometime Later, Back at the Palace

Sophititi: So you’d like to build a papyrus house and decorate it with found items?

Vi: Yes. I’ve always wanted to build a castle, but it can be a bit of a challenge decorating it.

Sophititi: Why don’t we start with some of Elvis-Anum’s discarded manuscripts? They have some nice illustrations.

Vi: And then we can add some gold and jewels from the Great Pyramid?

Sophititi: Good idea. We keep finding so much treasure there, we don’t know what to do with it all. We have made some lovely trophies for the Senior Bridge club, though.

Vi: It sounds like we have a plan.

Rows of q-tip turrets there

While ice cream cools a derrière

And tp castles everywhere

’Cause Georgia thinks that way ❤️

Since the roof repair has begun

Noise is hard for ’most everyone

So many things can still be fun

When Georgia shows the way

I’ve looked at noise from both sides now

With earplugs in and still somehow

It’s cute profusion I recall

(I really don’t like noise at all)

- Joni Mitchell – Both Sides Now

… And Violet bids to you:

“WELCOME to CHATEAU CHARMIN !!!” … :)

(Annnd, are those Q-Tips around her?!) … :)

“I am stuck on Band-Aid, ‘cause Band-Aid’s stuck on me….”

Admittedly, a band-aid never really struck me as the sort of thing that’d make for a good flag, regardless of what sort of scale you’re using it on.

The Rolling Stones: It’s Only Rock N Roll

If I had Q-tip sticks as the towers

And hold it all up with Band-Aids

It is so satisfying, build a house without trying

Would you think the castle is strange? Is it strange?

…….

And I am building, a new construction

A castle so divine

Would it be enough for until the roof is all fixed

I look at it and heave a sigh, yes a sigh!

…….

I said I know it’s a toilet paper roll, but I like it!

I know it’s a toilet paper roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it

I said can’t I love to see what if I had some help from Sophie?

…….

If I could grab some cotton balls I would!

Maybe add some of the kid’s glitter, too

Add a little sparkle, maybe some glass marbles,

What a lovely sight it would be! It would be!

…….

I said I know it’s a toilet paper roll, but I like it!

I know it’s a toilet paper roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it

I said can’t I love to see what if I had some help from Sophie?

You should see what they can do with oven insulation. :) :(

Well, there’s the toilet paper shortage explained: The People are hoarding it all.

Meanwhile, is “li’l angel face” managing to get his nap?

Just noticed the color of Violet’s ears.

That is quite impressive, Violet! Nicely done.

Not sure which is better. Natasha and Violet have cool (temp refence, not the other definition) beds to literally chill out on that are edible when they need a little snack. But Alice and Agnes don’t have to worry about running out of TP any time soon. And they have quick access to asprin/ibuprofin to deal with any headaches they might get from all that noise.

Your castle is lovely, Violet!!!

OT: I’m back!

Hello orb!

I was hospitalized for 6 days.

Apparently, the chemo can destroy red blood cells as well as white blood cells.

I was already anemic, the treatment made it worse.

It also restarted my recurring pneumonia.

I thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes.

I’ve got lots of email and comics to catch up on.

Had a family of mice move into my pantry closet over Christmas vacation one year. They built a magnificent mouse palace out of 4 rolls of paper towels.
