Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 09, 2022

Think of the money saved!

The roofers will have Tabitha, Sir Figaro and their woman’s greatest thanks for stopping the leaks.

Such a lovely feeling, when the background noise goes away. Ahhhhhh…

OT: Pingpong

Enjoy the silence, CN News. (ﾐゝᆽ╹ﾐ)

Sounds like many of us have been through remodel noise.

Several weeks after I found that nasty leak, my bathroom is finally back in order and hopefully we won’t need any more repairs done, so…yes. I can relate to this. Very much.

(And yes, it is wonderful to be able to use my own bathroom again. :D)

Silence is louder than the noise.

The shingles say, “Roofers always leave me drunk. I’m feeling really hammered”…

Yay! No more shaking paws! The dry cleaner won’t be happy, though!

I didn’t see Loaner Cat for three weeks when they were remodeling my bathroom. Her food was gone every night, so I knew she was eating and her litter box was used, but she was having nothing to do with the workers or noise.

Silence can be deafening.

“Want your shirts back quickly but still sparkling? Try ‘The Magical Cat Closet Cleaners!’ No harmful chemicals or wire hangers. ‘The Magical Cat Closet Cleaners’ does it right!”

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: You’re going on your journey Across the River now, Olivia?

Olivia: Yes. I’ve traveled all throughout the world, and now I’m ready for my next adventure.

Elvis-Anum: I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve been Hopelessly Devoted to You since I was a kitten.

Lupinium: Your song Physical inspired me to work on my athleticism. Even if it was a bit risqué.

Puckmosis: Your singing was Magic to us all.

Olivia: Thank you, everybody. Now time to board the Godspeed.

Captain Courageous: Right this way, Ms Olivia.

Everyone: Fair winds and a following sea!

Weeks? Most roofing jobs are over in a day.

It’s raining again…this roof will never get done.

With my sincere apologies to Paul Simon………..

Hello coffee, my old friend

I’ve come to partake of you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its beans while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams, I broadcast alone

From a desk of manmade stone

’Neath the halo of a table lamp

I found my coffee to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of coffee pot light

It was so bright

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light, I saw

A fresh pot of coffee from which to draw

That lovely liquid without speaking

My thirst for caffeine slowly peaking

People pouring cups with no voices ever shared

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence.

O/T:

Beloved as Sandy, you were a delight

You left us much too soon, and that’s just not right

While you were here you were a shining star

We are missing now the talent that you are

Grief is the word

- Barry Alan Gibb – Grease

So – in the last panel – Puck doesn’t have the ‘JITTERS’ with his coffee anymore! … (I should be so lucky!!) … :)

O.T.

The idea of cat clothes dry cleaners really makes me giggle. I’m also reminded of the character Cat (a humanoid cat) in RED DWARF who licks his outfits clean then irons them.

OT:InuwaI have not yet updated, but on Sat 7/30, Inuwa’s tumors began ulcerating, so she had to cross the bridge. Too much risk of ulcerating a major blood vessel and bleeding out.

Puck looks at the big picture.

Love the last frame!

And love Puck anyway!

One of the things I miss most about trips to the BWCAW is the silence.

Reminds me of a reverse to that scene in the movie My Cousin Vinnie where Vinnie tells his fiancee not to bail him out and he finally gets a good night’s sleep. All to the sound of a prison riot.

In my case, it was the eerie anticipatory silence of a few days between the time the de-roofing crew noisily removed the old roof and the roofing crew began on the new roof. In the old days, we called it “waiting for the other shoe to drop”.

The car was taken to the garage at 12:30 today. You guys are all wonderful and I will keep you updated!!!!

P.S. I think I have never mentioned here that the car’s name is Kitty. And that’s what I want it to do when it gets out of the shop – purrrrrrr.

The roofers are back today. We didn’t pass the windstorm inspection so they are making it right.

Yes, we all know Puck values calm during beverage intake. Do not mess with him while he is drinking tea.
