This is all rhetorical because we used to have horses and barn cats, but I always felt/feel a little sorry for them, though we took very good care of ours. But I always wanted to scoop them all up and hug and squeeze them and bring them in when it was cold and just love them, even if that wasn’t their thing. I just want to do the same to Baba. Okay, all done. Carry on.
Lupin’s smile in that first panel kills me. It’s nice to see him have a heart again. Baba’s is also great. She’s just happy her home is going to a good home. Homes!
I also almost forgot about the move for a second. I mean I knew it had to happen sometime soon given all the build up.
“Boxes are never empty because they’re always full of adventure!” I put that up with the very best of BCN quotes. Glad that Baba and Burt are onboard, because we know Elvis and Lupin are up for box forts. Also, I guess it’s cool that the people are fostering the new cats. Not as exciting as box forts, but I am amused by the seeming kitty stage faint in panel 3.
I’ve been wondering, are there any pictures of the real life Baba Mouse? With her being more prominent in these recent strips it just got me thinking about what she looks (looked?) like in real life compared to her anthropomorphic self.
I am not a creature typically prone to excitement, but I spy a bag of sour cream and onion potato chips resting and waiting on the kitchen counter…
Small snack bowl, ye shall be mine.
My patience has been rewarded with a bowl of potato chips; my favorite variety.
Snapping turtles are a patient species. We have been here 90 million years.
Survived, thrived, evolved, and now: I live in the same era sour cream potato chips exist.
Nature is beautiful.
…Which—not to go on about this again, however, seeing a correlation, I must point out thus—once again goes to show, if I, a pre-historic creature can sit here enjoying a bowl of crispy potatoes, how is it possible folks still question the existence of Nessie? Mothman? Bigfoot?
All manners of nature survive under the darkest of times and shifts. From the smallest budgie bird to the largest invisible man of Everest; who is a gigantic, never before seen man I have heard tell of many a time… These gentle, delicate, huge miracles of nature persist.
And they all love their snacky-snacks, too, their creature comforts, small and enormous.
I have it on trusted authority that the New Jersey Devil is a huge fan of Dorito 3D Jalapeño cheddars and STILL wanders the lands of the east coast searching for this favored snack chip.
We are all not so different. Nature is not to be feared, only marveled at in robust wonder!
…These are VERY GOOD sour cream and onion potato chips.
Right now it seems that the different levels of the addition are all open. Though it was never confirmed, I think at one point they were in the attic and they ended up in the purple room, which I think is on the first floor. Though I assume that the people are going to want privacy and if there aren’t already doors will at least be putting some doors by the stairways, but I kind of hope they put in cat doors so the various cats in the house can move around freely.
Get box, remove cat. Get packing tape, remove cat from box, remove packing tape from cat. Fill box, remove cat. Go find where ever the cat has drug the packing tape, remove tape from cat, remove cat from box and quickly slap a piece of tape on it to keep it shut. Take packing tape off and remove cat. Successfully close box. Count noses. Open box and remove cat.

From Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard: As If We Never Said Goodbye
There’s no need to be frightened
I’ll find my way around here
The purple room, does not spell doom, love resounds here!
Yes, a new world to discover
And I’m always in a hurry,
But not this moment.
…….
The interviewing kitten
The wisdom of the Old One
The atmosphere as joyful, we’re the Bold Ones!
Early morning cats all running
Feel the magic in the making
Why, it seems we’ll never have to say goodbye!
…….
I’m running and I’m leaping
I thing I like these Humans
I’m ready to go from my old life to a New One!
Love the chaos and the madness
There is magic in the making
Yes, everything’s as if we’ll never say goodbye!
…….
We’ll no longer be alone
That’s all in the past
We two have waited long enough
We’ve come home at last!
…….
And we will be together
Life’s better than we knew it
We’ll run and fly, we know that we can do it
Could I nap without hiding?
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?
…….
The new rooms for exploring
Running through the hallways
So much to say, we’re here to stay, for always!
We’ll have 2 am madness!
We’ll have magic in the making!
Yes, we’ll never have to say goodbye!
Yes, we’ll never have to say goodbye!
We’ll teach our friends new ways to dream!

I wonder how Elvis feels about the new additions. It’s nice to see that the plans for purchasing the BPH are coming around nicely.

The worst part of moving is when everything is in boxes. Oh, you’ve still got all your stuff; only it has lost all its utility. :)
