Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 26, 2024

IGGY!!!!

Awww Iggy, I’m glad to see more of him. Purrrrr

“Houston, Tranquility Base here. What’s this about sending another cat up here?”

Elvis, there is plenty of love and attention for everyone, be patient.

OT: Pingpong

Jealousy does not look good on you, Elvis.

Mommy’s Special Boy will not be denied! But WE WANT MORE IGGY! He’s such a sweet, beautiful boy!

Is this the first time Iggy has been referred to as “the shy cat”?

Speaking of shy cats: how can you tell if your cat is depressed? I don’t know if she is shy or depressed!

My Gracie doesn’t ask, or demand uppies. She TAKES LOL Sara will POP up and poke me with her paw to say she’s thinking about coming up, if that would be ok. She then starts and stops several times before finally jumping up.

“Uppies!! I demand uppies!”

Another too cute cat-ism to add to my BCN treasure hoard.

Quiet tranquility is doomed.

Even little old man cats need uppies.♥

Iggy needs his cuddles as well.

“I’m being replaced and I’m NOT HAVING IT!

Hey, Elvis is Mommy’s Special Boy, and he just wants to be sure you don’t forget it.

Trouble felt exactly as you do, Elvis . . . but when he got what he wanted, which was full dominion over the coveted and much fought over Daddy’s lap and 100% attention . . . it cost much more than he bargained for. RIP Mischief :(

Elvis is your baby, Woman! Give him uppies!

That’s the Tiny Terrorist’s favorite phrase. Uppies. Uppies. Except she’s getting almost too big for uppies, at least for me, with my TFCC. And as soon as she’s up, it’s Gidown. *sigh.

♥ Iggy loaf ♥

Elvis demands uppies!

OMC, IGGY IS SO CUTE!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And as a Siamese, Elvis can demand rather vociferously

This is obviously fiction and never happens in real life.

Holly Bear is our shy one. While Holmes and Hamilton demand the most attention, Belle and Mittens are always around and seen. Holly Bear prefers to tread the path of solitude.

MY PRECIOUS LAP! ET EZ MINE! ET BELONG TO ME! MY PRECIOUS!

Iggy doesn’t look too happy about the interruption in the last panel. It’s his turn!

What’s the Woman doing with just one cat on her anyway? That leaves so much room for more cats.

Oh Elvis- you are so…Elvis!

We don’t see enough of Iggy but the ‘good kids’ rarely make the news.

Elvis is just displaying the classic Siamese Cat ideology of I CLAIM THIS PERSON, IN THE NAME OF ALL THINGS SIAMESE, AND ME!

Siamese cats, in my experience, tend to claim their person. They don’t do sharing. LOL

Undoubtedly, Iggy has been away, working on the multiple arias for his next opera.

Typical Siamese behaviour. No jealousy there, right, Elvis?

Aw, Elvis. C’mon. Let Iggy have some time. Doesn’t the Girl need protecting?

If Elvis wants to remind everyone that he is Mommy’s Special Boi, then he MUST put on his pirate ballerina costume. Otherwise no one will take him seriously.

Fractal is just like Elvis! He gets so jealous when we show Cooper any attention. Particularly if we play with Cooper, Fractal always wants in on the fun.

I was wondering when Iggy would make a new appearance!

Awwwwwsum ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What i really want to do is yell: IGGYYYYYYYYYY!!! =SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!= but I don’t want to startle him, so I won’t. But I’m thinking it very loudly!

I have two Elvis impersonators. If Moose is sleeping on my lap, his giganto brother wants up. If Blackjack is there, Moose has to be in front, pushing my Kindle out of the way. At that point, I smoosh them both off.

OT _

Mister is in TinyKittens HQ as of last night!!!!! She is Not Feral, and is already up for adoption. She is the momma of (Mr. Tibbs Jr.) JUNIOR – who is her mini-me duplicate!!!! No doubt they are mama and baby. The video with her and Shelley showed her as an incredibly friendly, cuddly, GORGEOUS, loving young cat – slightly floofier than her son. Others who saw the video exclaimed about her beauty, friendliness and resemblance to Junior….and wondered if Junior’s adopters would take her too. An ultrasound, possibly today, will confirm whether she is pregnant again or not.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Scribe’s Office

Puckmosis: Looks like a beautiful day out. Like to go for a walk?

Elvis-Anum: Can’t. I have these scrolls I have to transcribe.

Puckmosis: But can’t your apprentices do that?

Apprentice Hapi: Sure. We’re always happy to help.

Apprentice Ebonee: We’ll have these scrolls done in a jiffy. And then we’ll have some time for peanut butter.

Elvis: Well, a bit of fresh air would not come amiss.

Puck: And we’ll head up the mountain trail to the Kat Kiosk. Strawberry Cheesecake Sundaes are the featured flavor.

Elvis: You know, it is time I gave the apprentices some more responsibility.

(What is in the CN mug?? Coffee? Tea? Catnip smoothie?)

Awwww – Hi Iggy!

Elvis, don’t be a pest!

Well, he is her good boy after all.

Well, since everybody left me

I found a new place to dwell

It’s on the lap of the woman

At Big Pink House on the Hill

Where I’ll be, I’ll be so happy, baby

I’ll be happy

I’ll be so happy, I could cry

Well, although it’s always crowded

You still could find some room

For a jealous little kitty cat

To snuggle there in the room

They’ll be so, they’ll be so happy, baby

Be so happy

They’ll get so happy, they could sigh

Play it, Dan

Well, now, if everybody leaves you

And you need a place to dwell

Just climb up on the woman’s lat

To, to, to, to

You’ll be so happy, baby

You will be happy

You’ll be so happy, you could die

That’s great! LOL!

Wait your turn, Elvis. He deserves some quiet time with the Woman.

Raises the question, does the book go in front of or behind the cat? I’m sure cats have opinions on this one

Awww, Iggy!

OT:

There was an ambulance at my neighbor’s house a little earlier. I’m told the dad was working in the yard and collapsed. The EMTs told the family it’s likely heat stroke (south Texas here). His vitals looked good. Hoping he recovers completely!

Diesel and Oop oop. Diesel came from a litter of 6 and there were at least 3 dogs. I show Oop any attention, and you guessed it. The chase is on. BUT when we sleep, Oop is on the bed with me. Diesel knows he can come onto the bed but chooses not to. Bed is neutral. As long as “big cat” is there. In fact, when Diesel chases Oop, and he jumps on the bed, he won’t jump up there. Because it’s neutral territory (and it belongs to the “big cat”. ME)

Yay! We love sweet, shy Iggy.

The only time my cats hiss at each other is when one jumps up to find the lap occupied.
