Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 20, 2024

Ora Zella’s “drop me in the kibble bag” is me when someone brings home the DONUTS! DROP ME IN THE DUNKIN’ BABY!

A very minor trip! All is well! (Except for Elvis’ dignity, which of course, remains intact despite the Woman’s anemic attempt to damage it.)

And she got the real thing! Yay!

♫ Take me to the cat food, drop me in the crunchies! ♫

The last line kills me. Also my boy deserved that.

How did Iggy manage to shimmy up the woman’s coat in the third panel?

OH MY CAT! Iggy’s hug has me melting! Credit to Sue Ellen for being the first to comment on Iggy’s infinite level of cuteness.

Awwwww! Iggy! Once again, Iggy steals the whole show in a single panel.

She’s gonna need a bigger bag. Five cats.

That small bag of kibble will not last long with 6 cats.

That is NOT a big enough bag of kibble for six cats! Why didn’t the Woman buy a 20+ pound sack of food? Isn’t she going to run out food again in a few days?!

LOL!! Elvis’ cursing the Woman out is priceless! Love Iggy’s devotion to the Woman in panel 3. ❤️

A) I love Iggy here. He’s so adorable and B) Evis! I’m surprised at you; remember fcc rules regarding language

it’s almost as if the Girl knows she’s on camera and is feeling shy!

Elvis won’t be talking to her for DAYS, after THAT.

Stealth hug Iggy. And will Elvis ever forgive… himself for failing to trip her up?

ELVIS!!! This is a family show!!!

That reminds me of my cats. They scaled us as kittens. Now they’re more dignified, merely running to get their food.

That’s an awfully small bag of food for someone with 6 cats. We’re going to be reenacting this scene again in two days.

OT Cat Dreams

Did the curtains survive?

No no no no. Not that packaged processed manufactured slow poison. Do not dooms your cats to a slow miserable death. Feeds them real foods. Real meats. Real fishies. Says no to manufactured garbage.

I’m surprised that panel four didn’t just have the bag torn open and Ora Zella’s little buzz-sawing tail sticking up from the open top.

I like the detail of Iggy hugging the Woman in panel three, but I am shocked Elvis would swear on air.

Got one word for you Woman….CHEWY!! It will help you to avoid these “out of kibble” situations.

How many times have any one of us tripped over a cat? Or a dog for that matter? I figure at least once a day.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Britannia Harbour

Dagobert Rat: I remember the old Punn State Cheese Taking Team like it was yesterday.

Alice-Ata: Yes. I heard our teammate Wensley Stilton wrote a scroll about it.

Dagobert: Yes. It’s called Brie and Me. Maybe we can go visit him. I’m sure he’d like to give you an autographed copy.

Violet-Ifa: Maybe we could get a copy for the Very Good Library as well.

Dagobert: Sure. I can take you to Wensley’s place at University. It’s not too far.

Sue Chef: We have a cargo of cheeses and gemstones to take to King Arturos’ palace. I would also like to learn the technique for making Double Down cheese.

Harbourmaster Alwin: I will arrange transport to take you to the Palace at Tincan.

Agnes-Ata: Meanwhile, my sister and friends will go to the library at University.

Alwin: That is fine. You can arrange transport from there. But first, how about some tea and scones?

All: Of course!

Meanwhile, Back Home on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: Where is all the cheese? Did they take it all to Britannia? Oh, the felinity!

Beatrixia: Don’t worry, Elvis. Kara and Vann are coming back from the Punn State Creamery this afternoon.

Thomios: Meanwhile, how about a ham and bacon sandwich?

Elvis-Anum: Oh well. I suppose that will suffice.

OMC Look at Elvis’s poofy tail and his language!!! Trip did not work as he thought!!!

I think the small bag is just to get over breakfast that was bought at a convenience store. The Woman will probably go out later to a proper supermarket to buy a bigger supply of food and treats.

Oh, Elvis! That reminds of when my niece accidentally stepped on my cat, Tigger. She let out a loud scream, that sounded like a word, for a female dog! Everyone who heard it, died laughing! My niece tried to make amends by giving Tigger a piece of her breakfast bacon. She gave my niece the side eye, but accepted her apology!

Iggy is so thankful, hugging the Woman. And, of course, the tiny Agent of Chaos knows just how to deal with the situation!

Crisis averted and all is well.

Cats gobbling kibble. Cue the paper towels for clean up!

When putting away the cat food, the bag will get rubbed against, Poodle will be on hand to while purring loudly, mark each can as her “Property” as I put them away. Roy will do this to a much lesser extent, but Poody is in charge of making sure they are inventoried properly. She will often seek out the specific bag of groceries that contains “HMC” or Her Majesty’s Cans, and try to get into the bag with them. She is a large animal, so it looks as ridiculous as one might imagine.

OOHHH Iggy!!!!! Poor Elvis, that’s what you get for being in tripping range. “Mother! Drip me in the kibble bag!” I know a few kitties that would like that.

A disaster worse than the Irish potato famine averted…

And she brought home the right brand. Bonus points for you, Woman!

The day after I posted about our cats learning not to trip me, guess what happened? Hint: Murphy is laughing.

I only have four cats and our kibble bag is about ten times the size. Is that a kibble bag or a single meal of kibble takeout?

Aw, the Iggy hug!

OT: The Zoomies

Yesterday Jojo out of nowhere decided to do an extra fast run around the apartment. She does get the Zoomies now and again, but this was unusually frenzied. Later I learned there was an earthquake about 20 miles from here. Guess it is true cats can detect when an earthquake is about to happen.

Fortunately it’s not Kebble.

We need the third panel as a tee shirt, coffee mug, or at least on the next calendar.

Iggy is so adorable!

Classic Ora Zella.
