It’s good to have backup. While Tommy is certainly of a size to hold his own (at the very least) against the moles, he certainly is not of the proper disposition.
Smokey was our hunter cat and she would leave the occasional mole carcass for all to see. We were never sure if they were meant as rent or thanks; or perhaps as a warning to other moles. I always assumed it was more of a “You are terrible hunters! This is so you don’t starve.”
Goldie returning a favor to Tommy from when he helped her with the racoons years ago. Poor Tommy seems a little uncertain after his experience with the moles.
Yeah. Goldie, do you really think you should be saying that? Especially when young ears are listening? I mean, Ora Zella already has enough ideas of her own.
What Goldie said reminded me. Her first appearance was when she snuck inside during a storm. Lupin glimpsed her but wasn’t believed and he wasn’t certain. So she definitely knows her way in and out.
Field reporter live in, not the field, but literally the fields, plural – good one! And then sweetie-pie fluff ball Tommy, silly boy, didn’t you know Lupin meant you?
Good Goldie’s out there. I also like how Puck’s theo nly one not upset. he’s more.. suprised than anything while Elvis and Lupin are angry for entirely diffrent reasons.
Who would know more about Swiss cheese than those lovable Robber Mice? I’ll bet those ladies have a veritable Marauder’s Map of the BPH that they’ve drawn over the years. Would they let us have a glance at it? Probably not.
There are a couple of cartoons I absolutely love, but none of them give me anxiety and happiness as this one does and makes me rush to the daily strip to join in the merriment or chaos. I also appreciate those who have been here longer than I; their comments orient me as to who is who and what they have done in the past. It’s so nice in these days to be able to enjoy something so ‘simple’ yet so wonderful! Thanks to all, especially Georgia and her talents.
The map comment is really funny! She’s been trying to do it as the cats would be familiar with the house, so it may never be accurate, indeed (though there was that revision early on …).
The only problem with making homemade ice cream is not having room in the freezer for the large bag of ice. This means that once the ice is bought, I have to make the ice cream immediately. So this afternoon I made one gallon of orange Creamsicle ice cream.
I just wish my grand baby hadn’t gotten sick. First birthday party has been postponed for two weeks.

Sweet Tommy. We all want to cuddle him, but how about Ora Z popping up for a look. Iggy not quite popping, just an ear tease?

Goldie must have been going through some archives to know about the previous adventures – laundry chute and dumbwaiter – in the BPH.

We know of one " creature" who is planning WWIV. The moles should be quaking in there boots, uh shoes, uh…what DO moles wear on their feet paws.

If Goldie gives the littles ideas, everyone is in for scary times ahead. It’s cute the way their ears are peeping over the desk.
Tommy needs Goldie. He certainly shouldn’t be alone out there whilst hostilities are active.

Hey, Georgia, “More exits than a block of Swiss cheese” I am going to adapt this line for a scene in the new book. It would be perfect.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
At the Royal Palace
Iggy: I’m back from fishing, everyone. How did the potato launching go?
Wally: Better than we hoped. We also discovered a new (sort of) pyramid.
Iggy: Sort of?
Iron Glove: It’s kind of lopsided. We think it may be the You Call That a Pyramid?
Iggy: Are we going to explore it?
Wally: Of course. Like to go along?
Enter Lupinium
Iggy: Welcome back! I see your pink wore off.
Lupinium: Yes. One can’t remain pink forever. But the Vacation Scroll School kittens enjoyed it.
Wally: Did you bring anything from the Cosmo Nursery?
Lupinium: Of course. I have some new flowers and vegetables. I’ll have to get them to Sue Chef while Thomios is away. Where is Puckmosis?
Iggy: He’s at the Salubrious Spa after a week of VSS.
Iron Glove: We found a new pyramid. Like to join us exploring?
Lupinium: Wouldn’t miss it. Is Elvis coming?
Elvis-Anum: Someone has to stay here and run the kingdom.

They’re no danger to us
You know the moles and so do I (do I)
A full exposé’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from a cat who’s shy
I just wanna show you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run away and desert you
Always gonna stand close by
Always gonna be at your side
Never gonna let those li’l jerks hurt you

Goldie is feisty enough to stand up to the moles. I’m thinking she could also help Baba hold them off.

Never gonna get a good map
Of how Goldie got out
Now she’s gonna run around and report for you
She’s gonna figure out why
Those moles made Tommy cry
And she’ll bring you the facts, straight and true
.
(With absolutely no apologies to Rick Astley, ever; you know what you did. But I’ll throw a few Misty’s way because they got here first.)

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Procyon lotor
They are tramping out the mole where the grapes of wrath they store
They hath loosed the fateful lightning of their terrible swift claws
The Raccoons keep marching on
Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
The Raccoons keep marching on
I have seen garbage cans of homes across the land
They have builded it an altar where they will firmly stand
I can heard it’s righteous roaring by the dim and flaring teeth
The Raccoons keep marching on
Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
The Raccoons keep marches on
I have heard her fiery gospel writ in many garbage dumps
“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall pumpl”
Let the Hero, born of Raccoon, crush the serpent mole under heel
The Raccoons keep marching on
Glory, Glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
The Raccoons keep marching on
She has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
She is sifting out the hearts of mole before her judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer her! Be jubilant, my feet!
The Raccoons are marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
The Raccoons are marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Queen Mag was born for all to see
With a glory in Her bosom that transfigures you and me
As She fight to make Raccoons holy, let us die to make the yard free
The Raccoons are marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
The Raccoons are marching on

“Never gonna get a good map of that thing” I hear ya, cats. When big houses get split up there’s always something that gets covered up or walled off.
