OMC, Lupin! Let it go! You got your tape recorder back. There’s enough room on the couch for all of you. If you stop to count the bowls, I have no doubt you’ll discover there’s one for each of you. I think it’s time for an intervention.
Yes, he got the tape recorder back, but Goldie has never apologized for taking it in the first place.. I think Lupin has a right to still be angry. of course, it would be better if he told her WHY he was angry, so they could straighten this out, but no one’s purrfect.
My black cat, Tar, is like that. Whatever dish the other cats are eating from, that’s the dish he wants. I think he’s afraid he will be missing out on something or one of the other cats will be getting something different. Nutty cat.
I very sincerely hope that this story will be resolved by reason and justice, by explanation and apology, rather than have the conflict suppressed by some sentimental slop or a “Goldie does something nice for Lupin” fake ending.
Puck: “Drone camera footage is showing us a pile-up at the food bowls this morning. Other cats might want to take alternate routes to the bowls and allow extra time for feeding while authorities clear up the congestion.”
This sounds just like dinner time at our house. The group typically starts with a regular set of positions and before dinner is over, everyone has spent some time at nearly every position. It is funny to see who starts each shift by pushing someone off of their bowl.
I like how Georgia keeps the continuity from several months ago, when she gave us the scoop on “Whisker Fatigue”! The crew is eating off of flat dishes instead of bowls now.
(aka LadyKat) Lupin, there’s plenty of food to go around. While you waste time screeching at Goldie, she will move calmly from bowl to bowl, and she will have a full tummy.
I’m looking forward to when Lupin and Goldie come to some sort of understanding. Just think of the stories they can investigate. Might lead to a lot of songs, just sayin’.
I hope this doesn’t turn out to reenact the diner scene in Bad Day at Black Rock!!!! (that’s where Spencer Tracy & Ernest Borgnine work out who sits on which counter stool…)
I carefully placed three dishes of equal amounts of food in an equilateral triangle. Before either of the adult cats could eat, Colette jumped into the middle, “Everybody, be cool!” She carefully examined all three bowls. “OK, I’ll have this one.” She was only a kitten but firmly established the principle of “first choice”.
Dear orb, several months ago I complained of night sweats and daily not flashes. You told me to get checked out. I do have some issues. Thank you all. My deficiencies are diagnosed. Now my doctor has to assemble the parts. I have lost 20 lbs in a month. Yes it was extra weight, but usually I lose weight one calorie at a time. Not this easily. Thank you all who said I needed the doctor. I’ll keep you posted as I don’t feel one shot better. But at least my doctor is On the case.
I just noticed that Goldie seems to still be wearing that relaxed comfy robe she was wearing last Friday. (Still in her recuperation mode?) I’m very curious to see what her style will settle out to be, indoors where she doesn’t have to be a tough girl!
A woman I work with complained that I was using ”her cup” today, even though it was in the shared coffee cup area and was not marked with her name AND she was using another cup at the time. I should send her a link to this comic.

Poor Lupin! But he needs to stop being passive aggressive and confront Goldie about the recorder.

Sheena Easton – A Little Tenderness
In my mind, Goldie sings this upbeat, catchy tune:
You know the way I feel about you all
Don’t wanna spend my life without love.
So isn’t it time for you to show me
How badly you wanna get to know me now.
You’re never gonna make me go away – I don’t want you to be so mean.
If you can find a way to let me know
I wanna know you care about me.
Try a little tenderness – has it ever crossed your mind?
Try a little tenderness – I think you’ll be surprised at what you find.
Gotta let togetherness – prove without a doubt you really don’t mind me.
Try a little tenderness – sometime.
All of your moves were made to oust me
You got no further since you met me.
You still won’t treat me like I want you to
Every day’s like a no-win stand with you.
Is it really worth the hating? – WellI still don’t know.
Do you think your poofiness will hurt me so?
Try a little tenderness – has it ever crossed your mind? . . .
If I could see you smiling there could be a silver lining.
Don’t let this chance be wasted
Please make me feel appreciated.
Show you’re not mad at me all the time
Oh!
Try a little tenderness – has it ever crossed your mind? . . .
Try a little tenderness – try a little tenderness -
Try a little tenderness – sometime.
