Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 20, 2023

Window seat? They hit the jackpot! The Big Deal!

A window seat and a completely FLUFFED OUT Lupin, with TOEBEANS in the FLUFF! As Goldie does her best Bob Barker impersonation.

Why does the pillow have eyes?

And a big smile?

And pink toe beans?

If the People throw a heated cat bed in the window seat, it’ll become Kitty Nirvana!!!

Lupin being Invisi-Cat!! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!

Poor Pucky suffering the moving anxiety disorder. He needs some serious cuddling, with chin scritches and belly rubs.

Nakked Lupin! Look away, Edith!

Where did Burt get all those sound effects?

If the floor is still lava, both Iggy and OZ are doomed.

Good Lord, Mabel! There’s a fluffy, invisible, naked Cat in that window! Cover your eyes!

Wow, that last panel. The beautiful Lupin (with toebeans and cute tongue), the magnificent window seat…

A bit later on, when naked Lupin realized there’s kittens in the room, that he “Fluffed” up big time…

Not sure that’s going to reassure Pucky. He’ll never be able to do his bird watching with a naked fluffy lupin taking over the window seat.

Lupin has a case of static cling.

BUT , BUT , does it provide a view of the arrival of the Mail-Man (person) ?

I like this game show!

Well, now, that’s even better than Samsonite luggage and a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta!

What better to show off the Brand New Window Seat than Goldie Toe Beans!

This padded window seat, comes with 3D views of the out side world for optimal bird watching, and fall leaf stopping! It also comes with enough sun beams for all! Window seat is bought to you by, the Woman and Man!

Lupin!!!!

Since cats are solar-powered, that’s perfect.

I love the older homes in St. Louis that have a turret. They are usually in a bedroom with a rounded window seat—cat heaven.

Whaddaya know!!!??? A nekkid, over-fluffed Lupin AND toe beans! Whee!!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: The Sun Room at the No Longer Hidden Library is officially open!

Elvis-Anum: Nothing like curling up with tea and a scroll.

Beatrixia: And I just love the new pillows the Artisans made.

Puckmosis: Yes. All eight of them.

Elvis: Eight? I thought they made seven.

Puckmosis: It may be coincidence that two of the pillows are white.

Thwump!

Elvis: I should have known. Hello, Lupin.

Enter Ora Z

Ora Z: I love these new pillows. Can we eat them?

Puckmosis: No

Ora Z: Tear them up and spread their stuffing?

Puckmosis: No, you sleep on them.

Ora Z: What’s sleep?

How cute is that kitty in the window?

The one who’s a ten (Richter scale)

How pleased is that kitty in the window?

Puffed out he’s as big as a whale

I do love all bunnies and puppies

And I love all parrots that chat

Don’t need no goldfish nor guppies

’Cause I really love Lupin, scamp cat ❤️

- Bob Merrill – (How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?

It’s nice to know they’re looking out for us.

has anyone seen Lupin?

Loooo-pin ?

It’s okay, Puckie. Take your time. Be comfortable. Sit in the doorway and check it out if you need to. Maybe come in with Elvis.

Window seat! Toe beans! Nekid Lupin! Squeeeeeeeee!!!

Today’s “Free Range” also features Cat News!

We have two window seats in our home, one in each of the upstairs guest rooms. Each of our two cats has chosen their room and their window seat. Makes for a peaceful co-existence in the morning, especially since they both face the east. No fighting for the coveted spot in the sun.

Window seat?? Cat ledge!

I hope those aren’t chyrons and Burt actually plays sound effects for those watching the broadcast! Also, either that pillow has toebeans or Lupin is invisible again.

Now they won’t have to tell the birds their business anymore! The birds will be able to see it!

Cats hate change.

I have always wanted a window seat where I could set and read.

Our living room had two high, relatively narrow windows on the south side that didn’t open. I rebuilt them with vinyl awning windows and a one foot wide sill board so the cats could sit there, enjoy the sun and sniff the breezes. It’s one of 8-ball’s favorite places.

Life in all its glory! An afghan and a few more pillows would make it complete.

But where’s Lupin? And why does that pillow have a smiley face?

The late Jackie and Carruthers loved the window seat in our old house. They would even tolerate each other’s presence.

The window seat is gonna end up being a real pane…

There is a fluffy white pillow with adorable toe beans. Need to squish it!

Lupin is the master of camouflage.

Thank you to Burt for the sound effects!

OT

And… added bonus Invisible Lupin!

Btw, is Lupin superfluffy today, or is there a fluffy white pillow (or throw blanket) in the window seat for him to camouflage on?

Invisible cat sighting.

Avatar change: here are the little bit (calico) and the princess (mostly black tortie). The little bit is the one who is FULL of tortitude!

" Johnny Olson! Tell ’em what they won!!" …

" They won! … A NEW Bedroom Window Seat !!! "

~ Joyful Game Show Applause !! ~ … :)

Puck, you are so good, and you take as long as you need. Your friends are showing you the new space and you can take it in from a distance.

From Georgia: “Getting Tommy and Sophie into the Big Pink House is the number one reason I wrote the storyline about the People coming together to buy the BPH. From early on in the comic, I regretted not getting Tommy into that first floor apartment! As time went on, it felt like a missed opportunity. I’m happy that Tommy and Sophie are finally in the BPH, and have a lot planned for future storylines!That said, giving the People a few new rooms offered me a chance to incorporate some favorite cat hang outs from our own house. In real life, we moved from the apartment in the Big Pink House in Rhode Island to a sunny apartment in California, and then a sweet apartment in Washington, shaded by tall Douglas firs. All for the Man’s work as we criss-crossed the country in search of a full-time gig in his field. Longtime readers remember our adventures in corporate housing with Lupin, and the cats settling into new apartments with new rooms and windows to explore! Choosing to keep the BPH the setting of the comic brought me a lot of fictional peace during the upheaval of moving so much. (Twice in 2016, alone! To CA and then to WA eight months later! WHEW!)Five years ago we finally bought our real life house. Retroactively I added our fireplace to the apartment in the comic, but there was no room to work in the cats’ new favorite spot—the window seat!They loved the new window seat so much, I created a second one with pillows and a sturdy bookcase in my studio. Lupin loved the window seats, and especially adored napping on the white fluffy pillow upstairs and the white fluffy blanket downstairs. And so, here are a few photos to celebrate the real life window seat! I’ve got a lot of window seat related headlines stored up from the past five years. I can’t wait to start sharing them with you!”

LUPIN! HOW COULD YOU?!? Stripping in front of two impresionable youngsters like that.

Love Burt’s ongoing forays into sound effects and musical accompaniment!

Window seat? Will Tortimer find a body inside it? (If you get the reference. Pretty sure Georgia will)

Where, oh where has Lupin got to now? Looooopiiiiiinnnn!
