Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 05, 2022

Ha! Number One is Send Elvis to bed. She knows Dad Cat well!

I wondered what that was yesterday! Georgia is so clever.

“Lupin, dare you” are clearly the magic words. Now We Know.

And Elvis was wearing the note yesterday. I thought I noticed something different about his costume, but I didn’t think too much about it.

It’s been there since Monday!

I’m afraid Elvis won’t be able to sleep a wink……

I’ll be happy to take Elvis’ role in any clean up operation.

Looks like the plan’s a daring one…

Love, love, love that she is taking care of Elvis and having Lupin use his energy for good. ❤️ Happy ending.

This is why Beatrix made such a great intern. Always prepared for any scenario!

And Puck was already going to bed when the guest left, so does that mean he doesn’t have to help with clean-up?

Pajama parties are the best. Especially the cleanup!

If you go back to Saturday, Puck put the note on Elvis’s back, I think. I reckon Bea wrote it though.

OT: For Georgia

Happy National Cartoonist Day, Georgia Dunn!! Your art is incredible and fantastic. Your imagination for bringing these cute cats to life on paper is awesome!

OT: update

Only thing that beats a chart is a LIST!!! I love lists!!!

Oh, orbsters! We have been so unobservant. At least, I have been. Thanks to all who went back and checked. Also, Goldie says Beatrix (“she”) taped it to Elvis’s back. Did Goldie see that happen or is she assuming that because Beatrix promised to direct the clean-up?

I see Beatrix broke open her color coded office supplies to write this.

For all the squee-loving orbsters….

I just looked back, and Elvis has been wearing the note all week! I was wondering what that was, but wow!

In our defense, and CAT knows we need one, there were so many distractions like robot horking and kitten hauling it’s no wonder we overlooked a note sticking to Elvis’s back.

Past midnight after the party

First send Elvis to bed

Lupin, if you would care,

Then I dare you to sweep out all the floors.

Pucky helped out Tortie,

With kindness and with grace,

Now we need make no fuss,

Get him his toothbrush

Along with his tooth paste.

…….

It was lovely partying with our friends

We all had a great time,

And now, as the evening ends

Clean up is sublime!

…….

When the Humans come home

They don’t need to know,

We just had a nibble,

Some kibble

Where did all go?

…….

It was lovely partying with our friends

We all had a great time,

And now, as the evening ends

Clean up is sublime!

Ooh, ooh, yeah, oh yeah!

Genius! I wondered last week how Beatrix would get Lupin to clean up his mess, and now I know. Make it sound like a challenge, and Lupin will rise. And Elvis gets his needed rest.

“Send Elvis to bed” I love it!

Where is Pucky?

Beatrix is always one step ahead.

The party’s over

It’s time to put things away

Almost burst your busy Tortie

He had fun anyway

It’s time to wind up the masquerade

Now guests are gone, so fix the mess that you’ve made

The party’s over

And what a party it’s been

You danced and played through the night

Seems right that Bea’s note dares lively Lupin

So you must clean up, good times must end

Take off your costumes, the party’s over

It’s all over, my friends

Beatrix is one prepared kitten! I notice she may have found a way to harness Lupin’s boundless energy, too.

i’m confused..( which is nothing really unusual)… i thought beatrix lived with BCN team and the people ?…

Hip, hip hooray! for all of my favorite cartoonists! They make my day start out with chuckle, guffaw or good, old belly laugh. I read the news first then the comics because I need to get the news out of my brain.A pink house full of cats is a great way to start the day. Another (ware)house is full of Ten Cats and I love them all.

Beatrix is the type to have a Plan A, plan B, plan C, straight on to plan R.

.

(I have no idea if she has a Plan 9 from Outer Space, but she couldn’t possibly do worse than Commander Eros.)

A “daring” plan but it just might work. :)

I love how her cleaning strategy was to dare Lupin to do it! That baby girl is a genius!

After party??? ❤❤❤

Cats that clean up after themselves? That’s a world I’d like to live in!

4. Lupin, dare you to mop the kitchen floor.

5. Lupin, dare you to straighten the couch pillows.

6. Lupin, dare you to recharge Tortimer.

Anyone else feel like Bea’s After Party chores are all geared toward’s Lupin aside from that first step?

Major “poofage” over on today’s Zits column by “Clapton” their new cat.

Happy National Cartoonist Day!

Elvis hissed. He probably always does it when someone tells him to relax.

Beatrix said she was going to direct cleanup. She never said she was going to do it.

Jurassic Park-quoting voice: Clever girl.

Thank you Ms. Dunn for blessing us with your talent.

Lupin cleans the whole house on a dare.

♬Take out the broken smithereens

Brush kitty hair from the party scene

If you don’t scrub that kitchen floor

You ain’t gonna see your bell no more
