Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 19, 2024

We have achieved Full Sunflower Elvis! I wonder, does Elvis go through stages of Sunflower? Like the phases of the moon? Half Sunflower? Waxing or Waning Gibbous? That would be HIGHLarious.

“Local appliance keeps picking fights”. That’s a sentence I do not recall ever hearing before.

Wait, does Lupin’s paper actually have words on it or is it just for show?

My mother would immediately say “What’s the cat doing on the counter in the first place? Get him off, he’s gonna lick the butter.”

Elvis, please. Focus on the important things here. Is there BUTTER?

Elvis using such language! Looks like his job is toast…

I have a cheap, backup toaster that does that. Seriously, toasted bread goes airborne.

Lifelong fear of bread in 3… 2… 1…

I’m having a Red Dwarf Flashback now. Imagine Talkie Toaster in the BPH. Elvis?? You want some toast? LOL That thing was cool, but ever so annoying.

I think I have seen many videos of cats jumping wildly when the toaster goes off. It’s almost as funny as the ones where they think a snake is sneaking up on them.

This is not the first time Elvis has been startled by a toaster!

Sunflower (Elvis) spread works well on toast.

I always toast my bread. A few years ago, I ate a piece of bread and it turned to a gooey mush in my mouth. I haven’t been able to eat untoasted bread since.

P.4. is just Not real. LOL :-D

You can’t say Dam-n (without the hyphen)! on GoComics!!!

If I had a toaster the size of a couch, and it launched toast as big as floor pillows into the air, I’d puff out, too!

OMCCCCCC ELVIS IS SO CUTE WHEN HE PUFFS

Elvis!! Language!! What if the kittens hear you!??

GASP! Such language! Now the cat FCC will fine you!

Relatable. Inanimate objects and I don’t get along.

At least it cooled down enough for Lupin to to put his suit back on. Sorry about the Toaster, Elvis!

Where is Ora Zella when you need her to do battle with local appliances? And chase flying toast.

Pop goes the sunflower!

Cat-dang-it and dog-gone-it. Notheeng un-bear-able in that.

Nothing phases Hamilton A. Cat on the counter. A food processor is going full tilt, and the cat just sits there and watches it.

If there’s something strange

And it don’t act good

Tryna start a brawl?

(Where’s butter?)

If there’s something weird

And misunderstood

Elvis is appalled

(Don’t trust ’er)

He ain’t ’fraid of no toast

He ain’t ’fraid of no toast

Who’s he gonna call?

(Toastbusters)

/Ray Parker Jr. /Ghostbusters

If a cat can’t smell toasting toast and gets the hint to move away, he ain’t much of a cat.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Kitchen

Thomios: I think it’s time to have a s’mores night. Do we have enough crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows?

Sue Chef: If not, will pretty soon. I hear giggling in the background.

Thomios: I would like to make this a special night. If anyone is listening.

Alice-Ata: We couldn’t help but overhear your conversation. What would you like for the s’more party?

Thomios: I can make different crackers, but we need special chocolate, and maybe a few other ingredients like bananas.

Alice: I think we can find what you want.

Sometime Later

Alice: Alright, here’s the plan. Vi, you go to the library and find any scrolls that mention s’mores. I’m sure Bea can help there. Tash, you and Iggy go to the harbor and see what’s available there. Vi, how would you like to pay a visit to Floofnet’s Culinary School?

Vi: No problem. I think Emma-Peelia is available to ride on down there.

Alice: Alright. Let’s go do S’more!

Cats are on the counter, lol

I am suprised he didn’t get bleeped…er…hisssed over!

Is ‘cat-dang it’ FCCable?

This is easy to solve, KEEP THE CATS OFF OF THE COUNTER!!!

“We’re under attack!” Reminds me strongly of the newspaper promos.

My clowder ignores the toaster and most other appliances.

So. . . the Sophie arc is done??

One of our cats, Dot, likes to sample bacon grease poured into a small dish after it congeals. You can see his tongue imprints.

A cat’s second-worse kitchen nemesis?… The coffee grinder! ;)

Harry Chapin: Cat’s in the Cradle

Breakfast time just the other day

Elvis on the counter to investigate

An appliance there with an attitude

Tossing out bread, that’s so very rude

And Elvis went into Angry Sunflower Mode

He said, “This is Cat Dang Rude!”

“You know it is Cat Dang Rude!”

…….

And the Cat’s on the counter with the forks and spoons

Butter is ready very soon

What is for breakfast? We don’t know what,

But it will be served, and,

It will be delicious then!

…….

Lupin attending at Front News Desk

The appliances misbehave, it’s quite a mess

Here we have a toaster, no butter, though

And some language that should be no go!

And there’s still an angry sunflower that’s there on the counter

Saying, “This is Cat Dang Rude!”

“You know it is Cat Dang Rude!”

…….

And the Cat’s on the counter with the forks and spoons

Butter is ready very soon

What is for breakfast? We don’t know what,

But it will be served, and,

It will be delicious then!

For some reason, our boys never get on the counters. We never squirted them or anything. Maybe it’s because the only time food is there, so are we. We don’t leave any food item out. Well, bananas are there but that’s it.

OT: Not too serious (I Hope)

Ember becomes oddly annoyed when she lays on my printer and accidentally presses the power button.

Elvis’ strong language is justified. Toasters can be very unpredictable.

OT New Snow (Sez) on Aug 19th!

OT – Beautiful MUTTS comic today on ArcaMax – with Sparky!

Patrick McDonnell, like our beloved Georgia, must also pay attention to the dates of the Moon phases.

Well…

Now I want toast with butter. ☹️

Good solid reportage.

Every time I come here I get a link to “1 Meat To Never Feed Your Cat” with the prettiest kitty … oh, now it’s three of them. Well, now they’re all gone now that I’ve typed this.

Lupin prints very neatly, for a cat! :-)

Uncle would wrap the cat in his bathrobe with one cat paw hanging out. They would lean over the toaster and Uncle would do the countdown for the cat. When the toast popped up the cat would snag in and drop it on his plate. Once she did that he’s let her down for her breakfast while he had his.

I had a toaster which would occasionally fling the smaller end pieces of a loaf completely out of the appliance. That would be particularly spooky to cats.

For the last time lupin you have no fcc.

Elvis is very handsome when he’s fluffy.
