Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 15, 2024

I think maybe Puck needs to look up that number again!

(Did she forget she has CATS?)

Oh the HUMANITY! You NEVER wait until you’re out of food to go get more! Mommy’s special boy ain’t having it! You tell her Elvis. Chewy is your friend woman!

Elvis is so hungry, his teeth are upside down…

That look of Pure Outrage in panel 3 makes me love Elvis even more! XD

We break from Sophie for the progidal sons return

Always have a back up container of food, I keep an emergency small bag just in case.

O horror, horror, horror!

Tongue nor heart cannot conceive nor name thee!…

Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.

Except that they can name the horror.

If I run out of certain staples such as sugar, milk, pasta, butter, eggs, etc., I can still wait a few days before I need pick up groceries. But if I run out of yogurt or fruit, then I HAVE to go to the store. So, what’s it like for the Orbsters here? what do you HAVE to have in the fridge (or pantry) at all times?

Nothing whoas more ‘whoafully’ than a disgruntled kitty.♥

Ooh! Elvis is miffed!

How offended will he be by the fact THEY’RE OUT OF FOOD?

One shouldn’t let a little understanding get in the way of rage.

I want to hear Puck’s translation.

Time to hork in her shoes, boys.

“DID YOU FORGET YOU HAVE CATS??!!!”

Not feeds em steenky processed packaged dry foods. Those is very bad for health. Feeds em real foods, hoomin.

Elvis has an old soul. I use “whoa whao whao” myself, but I never hear youngsters use it.

When my last cat passed, I had cans and cans of food left. I always stocked up on sale. I took it down to the humane society and boy were they happy!!

OT: backyard ferals (happy)

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

*On a Hill in Britannia*

Sir Alcott Kittleigh: Welcome, cats and sentient beings to the annual Dairy Hill Rolling of the Cheese. I am delighted that you all could come to watch the race to catch the love wheels of Double Down cheese.

Ms Alvina Mouse: So they roll the cheese down the hill, and either whoever catches or crosses the finish line first wins the cheese?

Ms Corliss Mouse: That’s right. They have races for ladies and gentlecats, one for children, and one for smaller creatures like us.

Alvina And what is Double Down cheese like?

Corliss: Oh, it’s delicious. It’s considered a delicacy throughout the know world.

Alvina: How much cheese is available?

Corliss: There’s plenty of cheese for sale, as well as cheese snacks. Of course, sometimes a wheel or two goes missing.

(Continued Below)

Thankfully, cat food is one of those things that we haven’t run out of. For the most part, I keep a pretty well-stocked pantry because you never know when you will need two tablespoons of Dijon mustard, capers, or five anchovy filets. Perishables are a little more problematic, and I have had to run to the store for them.

Back in Egypt

Violet-Ifa: Dear cousin Vi. I thought you might like to try this cheese from the British Isles. I may have won it in a competition, or maybe gotten it some other way. Anyway, enjoy. You may want to give some to your wonderful chef Thomios, who I’m sure can come up with some excellent recipes for it. Hugs, Alvina.

Ta-Natash: You know, it’s been quite awhile since we’ve visited the Britannia Branch of The Ancient and Accepted Guild of Royal Procurers.

Alice-Ata: That’s right. We should plan a holiday in the near future.

Alice-Ata: Sounds like a plan!

At Dinner Time

Chef Thomios: Fellow courtiers, I am pleased to serve this new cheese dish From Where We Know Not.

Iggy: It tastes like a type of cheese I tried during my sailing days.

Elvis-Anum: Yes. From Britannia, if I’m not mistaken.

Alice, Agnes, Vi, and Tash: We’ll never tell!

Cat priorities. Inflexible.

A vicious circle! Can’t leave without feeding the cats…can’t feed the cats without leaving. And once again, the Woman has forgotten she has cats!

Oooo, that reminds me…I have to order more cat food…litter…treats…first aid kit…

Run out of Cat food? I can’t even imagine the consequences.

Oh, the felinity! Woman, how could you run out of food! Elvis is outraged, hungry and anguished!

So Elvis re-emerges as a character, only to be denied food AND abandoned? The fourth “WHOA!” in panel 2 suggests he’s reverting to primal mode.

Cat food??? Sound the alarm! Get the Woman a police escort to and from the store!

The snow beans on #10 own my heart

As always, Elvis is a master of outrage.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,

To fetch her poor cats some food.

But when she got there the cupboard was bare,

And so the poor cats sat down to brood.

She went to the fishmonger’s to buy them some fish,

But when she came back they were licking the dish.

She went to the grocer’s to buy them some treats,

But when she came back they were sprawled cross the seats!

So Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,

To fetch her poor cats some food.

But when she got there the cupboard was bare,

And so the poor cats sat down to brood.

She went to the baker’s to buy them some dough,

But when she came back they all howled no-no.

So Old Mother Hubbard went back to the cupboard,

To fetch her poor cats some food.

And when she got there it was no longer bare,

And so she gave her poor cats their food!

My girl Jez eats from a dog-sized gravity feeder. She can tell when the amount inside is low, and she will bring me into the kitchen and start rubbing herself against the bag of food I keep on the microwave oven stand nearby.

The Woman had better not bring home Keeble instead of Kibble. That was a disaster. And none of that health food stuff either!

Hurry back, Woman, or there will be serious consequences!

Time to eat the plants …

I love how Elvis is dignified even in his rage.

Me today!! Exactly!!

We always tell the cat when we’re going to the grocery stores that we’re performing a Service to Cats because we need to keep up our strength. She’s not convinced.

Fruit, half & half.

If we think Elvis is outraged now, just wait until The Woman returns home with Senior Kibble for him.

When I leave, i’m told, Gracie goes through the house yelling and crying for me. Then when I get home I usually find her in the middle of my bed sleeping. Sara will come to meet me, but not Gracie. And Sara does her happy dance when I bring her the wheat grass. She likes it more than catnip.

So the Apocalypse begins…

“Have you forgotten that you have CATS?!!” Poor Elvis.

There’s only one place to feed a cat next door. I haven’t had the courage to ask but I haven’t seen one of the kitties in weeks.

What do we want? FOOD! When do we want it? NOW!

OT-Photos from my eclipse trip

OT – So proud of my Dixie girl!

I have one can of gushy food left, can’t imagine where I’m going when I get off work.

I finished the first front yard mow

I wonder how many more times to go

Row after row after row after row

Until the yard once more rests under the snow

I probably do not want to know

Till then I’ll keep fighting the war of the lawn

One that cannot ever be won

The best you can hope for is to battle on

Until you die with your mower still on!

Got kitties their kibble last Friday. Always make sure that there’s food for them.

8:01 food for none 8:02 feed us dude 8:06 get the swish 8:10 swish em again!

Woman, how can you empty a bag of cat food and do nothing until the next feeding? Do you not have cats when the bag is empty? ( is it like peek-a-boo with babies.) Whoa, indeed.

ya, Elvis has heard that “I’ll be right back!” before and each time they didn’t!

If he can’t understand words, then why does he want Puck to tell him what the Woman said?
