Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 14, 2024

Time for the bouncing Toebean competition! My money is on Ora Zella. Although, Leapin’ Lupin is the reigning champ. Just look at that rotation!

Shields up, Mr. Spock…

Ora Zella’s FACE!!! Squeee!

Lupin doing the Lupen de Lupen…

So many toebeans! Toebeans in two different panels! All four feet toebeans! OMC, I’m going to faint from EEEEing. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Always good to test the contractors’ work before they leave, huh Lupin?

Been waiting all day for this. Was not disappointed.

Lupin has mad skills.

Screen-bouncing could make a good Feline Olympic event.

A window is a floor if you believe…

Our kitty used to love jumping on screens. Unfortunately for her, her claws would get stuck in them.

I love that the construction worker is making a heart at Lupin.

The worker may be questioning whether the pretty white kitty is really a princess…

Lupin’s fluffy, cloud-like tail in the last panel!

Don’t you just love it when you can see the public, outside the window during a live, news cast!

I’ve never owned a cat that stuck to a screen. I owned one once that kept trying to jump through it, but her depth perception was off and she’d miss by justhismuch and end up on the floor, but no stickers.

I didn’t know Lupin was a Princess…or was he referring to Ora Zella?

he’s making a hand heart

Stuck, it’s true

He’s got this feeling down deep in his soul that it won’t come loose

Guess he’s safe today

Fixed by a friend ❤️

And the way OZ looks I guess she’ll be with him as she intends

Guess she’s on her way

Mighty glad it stayed!

I love the little heart in panel 2 and how Lupin is so obviously touched by the builder’s words.

OT – personal update

Ohhhh, it’s very tempting to head over to the BPH just to boop Lupin’s nose through the screen, and maybe even tickle some toe beans, too.

Previous cat “Air” Rascal, the plus size tabby, decided to make a run, or leap, for it one day when house painters had finished for the day and left some windows open. Of course he got out, only to be stuck in a sudden rainstorm. When the husband and I got home Rascal was nowhere to be seen. We searched everywhere, then turned to look at the back door. All 4 paws were attached to the screen door. Husband pried Rascal off the screen, towel dried him, and he slipped away to nurse his pride. He caught a slight cold but sadly he never did tell us about his adventure in the great outdoors.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Wally (Awhil-Fixit the Seventh): There. Now the game room shelf is safe for storage and climbing.

Iron Glove: Even Elvis-Anum wouldn’t mind climbing that shelf.

Wally: I wouldn’t go quite that far.

Enter Beatrixia

Bea: Beautiful job, guys. Her Majesty would like to hold a game night in the near future.

Iron Glove: I would love to play Hounds and Jackals.

Wally: And of course we have to have plenty of Senet boards.

Bea: Not to mention plenty of paw food.

Iron Glove: The Good Ship Red Planet Spider will be in port for a few weeks. Let’s ask the crew what they’d like to play.

Bea: Great idea!

Lupin you are adorable! …is that Ora Zelda in the window??

Weird how they still think Lupin’s a girl

Little whaaaat? He a male cat ya knows.

The little orange Zella just in the bottom right corner, it’s adorable!

That Lupin. He gots such a angel face eh.

…

Windows that works like a springboards

And yours wall shelfs all crowded owl-vase

Know Lupin with his angel face

And a woman who was petting on his meows

Cross the tables he jumped

Down the hallways he slide

He left behind a trail of destruction

For his life was guided

By his brute force paw

He only had a mind to cause chaos

Waters, you knows how’s his story

And his sleeping below the fountains on sink

Ohhhh Lupin

Had a angel face

But whenever Lupin leaped, Lupin destroyed

(Brief musical interlude)

Ohhhh Lupin

Had a angel face

But whenever Lupin leaped, Lupin destroyed.

…

To the tune of “Angel Face”, from “A Pistol For Ringo” a.k.a. “Ballad of Death Valley” 1966. Composer Ennio Morricone.

Lupin, you make the cutest princess.

I have a picture of squirrels on the outside of the screens and Holmes playing spider-cat on the inside of the screens. I’ve posted these on Instagram. I also have the bills to prove that screens are NOT indestructible.

Lupin and Holmes should have been brothers.

Vertical trampolines, just what every Princess of Chaos needs!!!

Wait, what is Ora Zella doing on the wrong side of the screen?!?!?

I’m a boy!

Lupin is signing “thank you”!

Oh, good! I was hoping we’d get to see a continuation of the Builders’ admiration for “Princess” Lupin!

IGGY!!!!!! Where is he?

And trust Lupin to (body) check the screens for integrity.

Alas it doesn’t seem to work on my iPad.

Lupin’s position on the screen reminds me of those “Stuck on You” Garfield plush toys.

It’s a good thing that they just tighten all the screens or Lupin would either be falling backward into the room or falling into that construction workers face

Cat gender seems to be an ongoing problem for some humans in BCN.

A few years ago, I learned there’s something called “Pet Screen.” It’s screen made of extra-heavy material, so it’s hard for animals to tear it up. Pet Screen is more expensive than regular screen, but worth it for people with indoor cats.

Ora Zella looks piffled at the screen reinforcing.

Ora Zella is the little princess honestly

Lupins a girl?

lupin in panel 3…

During a discussion of chocolate chip cookies recently I mentioned that my favorite “store bought” cookies were Famous Amos. I was sad to read that Wallace Amos Jr., founder of Famous Amos cookies, died from complications of dementia. Rest in peace, Mr. Amos. Thanks for the cookies!

Instead he is going EVERYWHERE!
