Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 13, 2025

Elvis, don’t feel bad. Fate doesn’t show any of us mercy. But on the bright side…..you stuck the landing like a real pro!

Aw, Elvis, I get it. If my toes touch my toes and I didn’t want them to, my whole day is ruined.

9.8

Thank Cat for that perfectly placed pile of laundry.

Elvis toe beans alert! Panels 2 and 4!

Well, OBVIOUSLY, he was merely changing his napping position from the bed to the pile of sweaters in a dignified and perfectly normal manner!

What’s all this nonsense about “falling” off the bed?

Poor Elbis, betrayed by his own tail.

Why is the laundry on the floor. Is this the girl’s room? I confess I was guilty of tossing my school clothes on the floor when I was a kid because I was so eager to get out of dresses and into slacks and t-shirts. Maybe the woman put the laundry on the bed to sort/fold then went back downstairs for the next load. Then Elvis, knocked the laundry to the floor to get on the bed? No, I think he would have snuggled up in the laundry.

Elvis shed on clean clothes, so he did his job, though the timing was not planned.

This afternoon my cat Kitten Boy tried to jump on my lap, miscalculated, landed on the dining room table, slid across it on his belly, fell off the far side, hit the China cabinet, and landed upright on the floor. Then he looked up at me and calmly said, " Of course I meant to do that." I laughed for 10 minutes at the expression on his face. Bravo, KB!

At least he had a soft landing.

It’s moments like this that makes Burt’s job totally worth it for him. Totally worth it for me as a viewer, too!

Hmmm, it hasn’t made me fall off the bed (yet), but this seems to be something akin to my teeth involuntarily clamping down on the inside of my cheek just before I wake up. Elvis, you have my deepest sympathy.

Elvis. “Nooooo! My dignity!”

He meant to do that, just taking the short cut… (blasted tail)

He looks deliciously grumpy in the last panel.

Doomed by a tail twitch.

Tale of the twisted tail tossing tabbies!

My cat Snowbell is so fat, she won’t jump up on the bed. But her claws are so sharp, she climbs up. Which is impressive, cuz she tips the scales at 17, and the top of the mattress is about 30 inches high.

And she’s only ripped 1 sheet so far !

Wonder if there were any witnesses who will be interviewed tomorrow?

My Peaches can relate. Her tail often touches her tail and it makes her angry enough to bite said tail. She then meows quite loudly, whether in victory of having vanquished the offending tail or in pain from the bite I will never know.

I blame gravity.

There goes most of his dignity.

Interesting location for cameras

Gravity: More than just a good idea; it’s the law.

At least he landed in nice soft laundry. Maybe he even enjoyed it for a bit.

Thank goodness they were clean sweaters!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Iggy: Elvis, would you like to test the hidden staircase?

Elvis-Anum: Of course. And what is this board here for?

Iron Glove: We decided to create a sliding board just for fun.

Wally: And Arachna wove a climbing web for Bea and anyone else who like a climbing challenge.

Arachna: And I have developed a spider silk that can endure multiple Tortoise Shell Cat attacks.

Elvis: Well, I could try the climbing web, but of course it is far more dignified to use the stairs.

Iggy: Doing fine!

Elvis: And I can reach these scrolls with ease and dignity.

Puckmosis: Do you think the slide will be a temptation?

Wally: Not for a dignified Siamese.

Elvis: Whee!

Lupin certainly has a big smile. Elvis, on the other hand, is the King of Frowning.

Oh, Elvis, you were so adorable landing in that pile of laundry!

So many Elvis toe beans!

And in breaking news: POLICE DISCOVER A MULTITUDE OF ACCOMPLICES IN FLOORS DASTARDLY ATTACK ON CAT.

“As the investigation continues, authorities have discovered that the attack on the cat was not a random act, rather it was a well planned, well rehearsed and well implemented conspiracy to terrorize the unnamed victims. An unnamed police source, has advised anonymously, that it appears the accomplices in this incident, slowly gathered together to assist the floor when the floor mercilessly attacked the sleeping feline.

The victim, one Elvis, who lives in the Big Pink House on the Hill, advised:

‘There I was just taking a little cat nap on the bed, when suddenly I was mercilessly grabbed by the tail and thrown wildly into the air, where the floor and it’s minions attacked me in force. In the melee, I was able to escape the clutches of the Knitwear Gang, before they could ensnare me. I’m lucky to have survived the ordeal’

As always, the BCN crew will be following this story until the conclusion, and probably longer than that. Tune in at eleven for further updates as information becomes available. Now over to Puck for today’s sports scores.

When my tail touches my tail…

Oh, I hate it when that happens…

Gravity, she is a heartless b***h

Tail touch tail??!!!! Oh the horror!

I won’t tell if you won’t. Oh, wait. Cameras!

Elvis, just like Humpty Dumpty, was pushed! It appears that all evidence was “lost”. Yeah….Right. LOL

My dining room faces eastward, and so we generally get a lot of sun in there during much of the day. As a result, ever since my parents and I moved in over 30 years ago every cat we’ve had has enjoyed sitting on the dining room table & getting some sun.

One day it was just me and our present fluffy boy; everyone else was out for the day. He was on the table getting some sun, while I was in the kitchen doing the dishes.

Well, he got the itchy twitchies, sat up, started grooming himself, and leaned over so far in the process of doing so that he rolled right off the edge of the table before he or I could even register what was happening.

Being the specific breed of fluffy boy he is (Go Comics isn’t letting it past the swear filter), he then proceeded to pretend that it never happened.

Not only is Elvis dignified, he has a lot of gravitas.

It’s a good thing the laundry broke his fall. What a relief.

Tail touching tail might explain the times I have watched Bilbo pursuing his as though the fate of the nation was at stake. One of my favorite giggles is when one of my cats springs into the air and changes direction before landing.

The fact that Elvis landed on laundry is at least a little bit of mercy.

According to the dotted lines, looks like Elvis did 2 flips on his way down to the floor.

We had a kitten who used a ladder backed chair as a climbing structure. Unfortunately she grew. One day she climbed the back of the chair and found the tipping point,

Off-Topic Grumbling

But seriously – landing on laundry is almost as good as being on the bed! Possibly even better!!!
