Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 26, 2022

Happy Release of the July Bug Day!!!

Yay for the tail! I wonder what cat is on the $10 bill.

Annoyed Elvis is the best Elvis.

Two characters trading money in the background when something cool happens is one of my absolute FAVORITE bits.

I wonder how long Lupin’s been carrying around that confetti, just waiting for the right moment.

Dare I ask where the confetti in 3 came from?

News breaks while breaking other news. It’s a busy news day.

Jules, you are a ham.

And Elvis, hair does indeed grow. Cutting it is optional, however, and clearly the Man has decided he likes having a tail. Balance is important!

OT: Sunny

I suspect that the release of the bug will not be as uneventful as The Woman expects.

I had a quarantine tail for roughly two years. My hair behaves better without it!

Please release him, let him go…

I want to know the identity of the cat on the $10 bill.♥

Release Jules. He got to Travel Five Weeks in A Balloon In Search Of Castaways, embark on a Journey To The Centre of The Earth, and then travel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea all the way to The Mysterious Island, and then go Around The World in Eighty Days before he go From The Earth To The Moon.

The release of Jules…..what could go wrong? Plus, Elvis owes the boys some bucks after the Man grows pony tail back. Never bet on anything less than a sure thing, Elvis.

That July Bug. He such an August personality.

We had no July bugs this year. Not a one. :( I have a field full of milkweed and have only seen two Monarchs this year too. It’s been a very odd summer here.

Elvis gives the obvious answer as to why THAT WAS A STUPID BET TO MAKE.

What is on the bill?

“We The Felines”

and on the reverse

“In Cat We Trust”

New Iggy pics plus a note about naming him.

… Elvis got no money

His bet was kinda funny

While waitin’ for the bug to go free

Oh, but hair grows as the Man comes and goes

And nobody knows like “Grumpy”

- Roger Frederick Cook / Roger John Reginald Greenaway – Love Grows – Edison Lighthouse

Yes, Elvis, hair grows, but it doesn’t style itself. Fairly predictable that the man would go back to that style after using it before, though. Hopefully that will correct his balance issues. Meanwhile, yes, let’s get back to the news, as I refuse to believe the July Bug will just be released outside without any antics.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Jules! Aren’t you supposed to be doing your July travels now?

Jules: Yes. I’m going away shortly. I just needed to help with a mystery.

Puckmosis: I heard. There has been a series of thefts from the Oh-Pun Air Market.

Jules: One would suspect a group of professional procurers, but one has been time traveling and the rest were visiting in Afar this past week.

Puckmosis: What did you do?

Jules: I went to visit an old friend of mine. Jane Marvel, a ladybug living in Agatha’s Village. She is conducting a discrete but thorough investigation.

Puckmosis: I’d like to meet her.

Jules: You’re in luck. She is having tea with Baba-Stet here in the Palace Dining Room. Well, I’m off to see the time.

Puckmosis: Safe time travels. Think I’ll pay the ladies a visit.

At the Palace Dining Room

Puckmosis: Good day, ladies. I wondered how the investigation was going.

Jane: I was just mentioning to Baba how this series of robberies is similar to something that happened in my village. As I told her…

(Continued tomorrow)

No, toe beans. It’s a sad day

Release of the bugggg – no swatting – kindness rules!!

Please release Jules,

Let him go..

Spoiler Alert!!!! Man puts tail into a man bun and cats go crazy thinking that the vet bobbed his “tail”. Video at eleven.

Must be one of the “clip-on tails” to have just now been noticed. You can find them in the catalog for Tail Extensions for Men.

Georgia posted on naming Iggy “This one goes out to any fans of ‘Flight of Dragons’ (one of my favorite movies, since I was four! When we first adopted Iggy, I came very close to naming him Aragh after the wolf in ‘Flight of Dragons,’ due to his markings. It’s pronounced very close to ‘Eric’ or ‘Air-Arc’ in the movie. Eventually I imagined the name being a pain to pronounce at vet offices and such, and I didn’t—but sometimes it feels like a missed opportunity! Especially as Iggy is getting older and filling out, look at this sweet little epic fantasy wolf! The biggest “missed name opportunity” in our house remains Elvis. I came SO CLOSE to naming him “Ares, Cat of War.” If I’d known what his grown personality would be then, I would have! Still, Elvis suits him very well too.”

I myself once tried for a ponytail. Got it down to “bottom of the neck” length before it drove me, as the Brits would put it, absolutely spare.

I love the Man’s ponytail. I have no patience with short hair on myself and I’ve always loved men with long hair.

OT:

Hello Orb!

I’ve been “good” for all the cancer treatments…NOW, at the last ones—it’s kicking up a fuss and I’m as sick as a dog.

Please guys, prayers, boops, head bumps, etc.

Keep me in your thoughts, I NEED them.

Thanks!

The tail and the bug. Huge day.

OT: auto help again

Team Ponytail :)

I don’t see anything from rs0204 today. Robert are you and Hamilton and all the family OK and not in the middle of the St Louis floods? Hope so!

100 years ago comic strip character Walt Wallet said, “Fer cat’s sake.”

I wanna hear more about this bet. Did Goldie get in on it too? What about Burt, Tommy, and Bea?

OT: my birthday

Some people’s hair grows, mine just falls out.

Only thing I thought of from seeing the haircut?

A little random, from the July bug to the ponytail. Based on Mrs Dunn’s life(?), so this is fine. Love the kitty money bets!
