Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 04, 2022

I’d like a bed like that!

That’s one fluffy cat tower! The bed options are amazing….go for it, Tommy!

This is a Tommy Tribute Rerun!

Tommy and Sophie’s Woman has a hammock for a couch, as I recall. Only fair that the cats get a cat hammock, too!

So she almost let him on.

The Orb’s Tommy

Sally Simpson

One Wintry Day

Outside the house a car went by

Tommy looked out so wistful

Could it be looking out the window

There was his own sister?

From the back seat, Sally waved

To her brother, she missed so badly

And Tommy ran to chase the car

And kept running, sadly

…….

He knew from the start

Deep down in his heart

That he and his sisters were miles apart

But he decided "Never mind my part

Is to see who I’ll see."

…….

Sally missed her siblings so

Would she see them, was there a way?

The answer to that would be yes,

But that’s a story for another day.

After Tommy ran after the car for awhile

He looked at all the scenery,

Nothing looked familiar anymore

So he stayed in a house with greenery

…….

He knew from the start

Deep down in his heart

That he and his sisters were miles apart

But he decided "Never mind my part

Is to see who I’ll see."

Tommy’s Woman: Tommy can you hear me?

Are you out there somewhere?

Tommy can you come home?

You know that we all care!

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?….

(Continued Below)

That looks so cozy. Makes me drowsy just looking at it!

And since I have no comment to make on this strip, I’ll kick off another round of “favourite lines”.

OT. Zombie spiders.

Poor Tommy. I always felt just a teeny bit sad that he had to try a little bit harder all the time and yet, he was always so darned happy!

We have a dark brown cat tree like that. Achilles was at the top of it just yesterday. We have an older, less elaborate tree on the catio. He is often at the top of that one as well.

I remembered this as the conclusion. Those are two happy cats there! Yes, Tommy truly remembers when the ancestral cats snuggled up in hammock trees before going out to hunt kibble.

Tommy, you were the sweetest natured of cats.

Tommy looks so cute in the last panel! ❤️

so cute!!

Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

In the jungle, the mighty jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

In the jungle the quiet jungle

The lion sleeps tonight

Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away

Wee heeheehee weeoh aweem away

Near the village, the peaceful village

The lion sleeps tonight

Near the village, the quiet village

The lion sleeps tonight

Wee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

Rrr, la la la weeoh aweem away

Hush, my darling, don’t fear, my darling,

The lion sleeps tonight

Hush, my darling, don’t fear, my darling,

The lion sleeps tonight

Wah oh oh, wah oh oh, wah oh wimoweh

Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

Weeheeheehee dee heeheeheehee weeoh aweem away

Colette spent the entire day yesterday sleeping inside the cubbyhole of her cat tree, ten feet from my chair. I think she had been out the whole night before. It was disturbing because tabby-in-shadow is the closest thing to invisible. It was necessary to creep up and shade your eyes to see her in there. Occasionally, I heard weird ghostly moaning noises. I finally figured out it was her snores reverberating in the cubbyhole (probably explains a lot of historical ghost noises).

She only came out as far as the cubbyhole porch to lap up some cooked egg yolk and later for some kibble treats. She even passed up our customary evening walk. It was worrisome.

However, this morning, she is back to normal – eating, scratching the cat tree and went for a half hour walk with me at 5:30 a.m. Cats!

OT: Happy Weekiversary, Lou & sis!

Sis says: “Another milestone in our relationship. Lou slept with me last night…and he’s still here this morning!” ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

I’ve never seen one with a hammock before. I want one for me.

Thank you all for the wishes! I did reply to my comment on yesterday,

And some day he’ll actually report from the cat tower.

Everything comes to he who waits. Enjoy your hammock, Tommy.

Pretty cat tower. I remember an ad for one in the early 70s where the only choices were green and gold or “special color if available”.

Off-Topic Post

Apparently, there is a canine respiratory virus of some sort making the rounds in the South East; although Bella is up to date on all the recommended vaccines, including kennel cough, canine influenza, and bordetella, it appears that whatever this virus is, she’s got it.

So far, she just seems very tired with a diminished appetite, but please keep my girl in your thoughts, that she will have a mild case and be feeling better soon. Also, spare a few for my sanity, because she loves going to day boarding to play with her friends; a 14-day quarantine is not likely to be fun for either of us.
