Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 03, 2024

Lupin + foosball table = natural combination!

Better news reporters than most newsreporters on T.V.

If, no when, a bird lands on a power line. The Colonel’s secret recipe is discovered! Foosball table optional.

True. Sadly the air hockey table stops working when the power is out.

I imagine Lupin plays foosball by traditional cat rules: jumping on the table and attacking the ball while the humans wonder what they expected, really…

And here I thought the crew lived in New England, not Detroit…

How Elvis even know about foosball tables? is there even room enough in the Woman’s home for one?

Uh, oh. It’s invisible Lupin world coming in…

There’s always the fireplace, too

In my neighborhood, it’s the freaking squirrels! They love to climb up on the transformers and chew the heck out of them, at least 2 times a year!!!

A poster and Elvis with a pointer! And his expressive face.

We are very good at providing comfort for our feline overlords.

Birds aren’t real.

Birds are your most cunning enemy, Elvis.

Foosball? What on earth that be? Some sorta outer space aliens game?

Sorry, Homestyle, but your cousins are usually the cause of a lot of power issues!

REVISED REPOST resolutions and hopes

I know there are Elvis toe beans under those red mittens.

Slightly OT – BCN calendar

I’m still waiting for Zelda to use me as an incredibly cozy nest.

OT: TK

Water still works too, at least anywhere Ive lived

Never trust small, flying dinosaurs.

Foosball is good, but air hockey is probably out. Then again, the table would probably still make a great nap spot.

Love Lupin’s Maine-style hat with ear flaps!

According to my Luvable Ex, “there is always room for a foosball table.” And, yes, there was. ;-)

If a bird lands on a power line and it snaps, you are living in the wrong place or you are stealing electricity, one or the other. Now if a 737 lands on the power line and it snaps then you’re just out of luck.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Tabith-Isis: We are here at the oPyramid for the opening of Table Ball season. The inaugural game will be between Iggy and Lupinium. Puckmosis, what can you tell us about the two contestants?

Puck: It is a classic match between Order and Chaos. Lupinium is a past master of the game, but he can be distracted. If Iggy can stay focused, he has a chance of winning.

Sometime Later

Tabith-Isis: At the half of this exciting match we have Lupinium with a narrow lead over Iggy. Puck, your opinion?

Puck: I think experience is the key here, Tabs. If Lupinium can keep focus, he has the definite advantage.

Tabs: Oh, Iggy has intercepted and is running the ball into the end zone. Iggy wins on a last minute play!

After the Game

Tabs Congratulations on your first win, Iggy. What was your strategy?

Iggy: Mainly to stay focused and keep my eye on the ball.

Tabs: Lupinium, congratulations on a well fought game. Any plans for future games?

Lupinium: I intend to stick with my strategy to go with the flow and let chaos reign.

Tabs: There you have it. Two different but effective strategies. Back to you, Puck.

Breaking news: Elvis was right all along. offscreen Elvis: “Of course!” Birds ARE weather!

I remember the last great power blackout that lasted three days (it was in the summer of 2003, I believe), when Paul tried to barbecue liver for dinner as a surprise for me. I was definitely surprised, and so was half the neighbourhood.

Foosball? Isn’t there an app for that now?

Or a tree lands on one!!

OT: Stove Adventures

It’s too expensive to bury power lines, until you’re constantly having to fix them. But who thinks ahead?

Well, that must’ve been a shocking development for that bird, then.

That reminds me. I need to find some powerlines to land on.

The human is self powered heated massage furniture.

The yard kitten

Now I wish I had a foosball table!

Late message from Georgia: “Mommy’s Special Boy went back to the vet tonight with tummy troubles again! Poor dude. Luckily this time we’re all pretty sure what can help him, since last time he recovered so strongly. The whole crew is back on probiotics and pumpkin (mixed into their food, with some water to help hydrate him). My vet also gave Elvis an antibiotics shot and some fluids. He is resting at home—annoyed and lumpy thanks to the fluids, but fairly content otherwise.”
