Is this another multi-part saga? I can’t imagine the People laughing about not having Kibble or kitty litter…. I’d expect to find all sorts of “surprises” in their shoes (or the shoes that haven’t been shredded).
Oh my. When I first saw the expressions on the People’s faces I was sure that they were joking. But they were actually serious :O No kibble?! This is a serious matter that require the attention of cats everywhere.
Excellent strip, as always. Loved the murderous expression on Lupin’s face. And the serious expression on Puck, and on Elvis too. Absoutely wonderfully done.
Well, frankly I wouldn’t have much of a sense of humour, either, if I were totally dependent on someone, and they allowed me to run out of both food and toilet paper… on the same day!
I literally just snorted soda out my nose, all over my monitor… ‘THIS ISN’T A GAME, WOMAN!’, ‘DID YOU FORGET THAT YOU HAVE CATS?!!’ – I haven’t laughed that hard in quite a while. Magnificent strip as always, Georgia! Though it does make me wonder if that’s Lupin’s usual revenge for ‘slights’ in RL? 😉
The most horrifying, terrible, and and UNACCEPTABLE sight, in the whole universe, is the bottom of the crunchy bowl. It’s more terrifying than staring down into a black hole at oblivion. It means there are no more crunchies, anywhere in the universe—AND IT’S ALL THE PEOPLE’S FAULT! HOW COULD THEY LET SUCH A MONSTROUS CATASTROPHE OCCUR?
I love the man’s dramatic pose.
Since there is no tea bag tag on Lupin’s mug, it’s apparent that when he has no crunchies and drinks coffee, he becomes a green-eyed monster … sort of like the Hulk, but smaller …
Cat call: What is the world coming to, when a cat is put on hold?
We never leave the kibble in bags—or we would have one large, furry bag.
We never leave our kibble in bags, otherwise the robber mice (and squirrels, and chipmunks, and anyone else they might invite over for dinner) would run off with it all, and then I would be in the very same predicament that the Man and Woman are in.
The evil Lupin face in panel 4! And puck having to take things into his own paws ! And Elvis, “did you forget you have cats ?” All priceless.
I have a suggestion for another special report, maybe: the health/vet care crisis, except the crisis part is having to go to the vet, and the very rude place they put the thermometer.
Elvis unleashes the ultimate weapon, tp destruction by Fluffapurrus! Those are crazy extreme maniacal looks you gave Lupin, love it! whew, an angry Puck. Now they’ll be sorry. Cats have their own yellow pages? let your paws do the walking.
LOL!!! Yes, cats are VERY unforgiving when it comes to their food being late and/or missing, not to mention anything else that they feel is due them. :p I remember my cats Tux and Precious, when they were kittens, felt like my parents had abandoned them because they went out on a date, and my sister and brother-in-law were put in charge of cat-sitting/baby-sitting . . . which they DID not like (neither did my brother and I), so the kitties both crept into their bedroom (my sis and bro-in-law were staying with us for awhile) and they peed all over their bed. LOL . . . yeah . . . cats will have their way. 😉 I just adore the hysteria and Lupin’s crazed eyes as he shreds the toilet paper.
Puck is so sweet. I noticed too that at his angriest, he’s still a sweet good boy BUT he must report ‘criminal neglect’ whether it was intentional or not.
Not really. Running out of cat food and cat toiletries in a cat household really does take some thoughtlessness. There had better be emergency tuna and bacon.
The first three definitions of “thoughtless” at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/thoughtless?s=t do fit:
1. lacking in consideration for others; inconsiderate; tactless:
a thoughtless remark.
2. characterized by or showing lack of thought:
a shallow, thoughtless book.
3. not thinking enough; careless or heedless:
thoughtless of his health.
Not having food for a family member is “lacking in consideration for others”, “showing lack of thought”, and “not thinking enough”.
Thank you for the brief – if shallow – vocabulary lesson, Dr. Didactic.
First, you do understand the difference between “connotation” and “denotation”, right?
But since you want to be pedantic, let’s examine those definitions you so [i]thoughtfully[/i] provided…
Numbers 2 and 3 involve doing something without putting enough forethought into it. They are both indicative of one who acts recklessly or without planning. As for the first definition, running out of food as in the comic can be a simple oversight, and as demonstrated in the comic, can be rectified just as easily. It’s called “forgetting”. People do it occasionally. It doesn’t mean one is thoughtless. It means they are forgetful. Not getting the food once you’ve realized you’ve forgotten, and thereby allowing your family to starve, would be thoughtless.
Never challenge an English major on the subject of language.
Better call the man on his cell phone and tell him when he’s getting kitty litter, he’d better pick up some “human litter” (toilet paper) while he’s at it.
Ann and Dawn commented on fainting Elvis in panel 4 and when I looked again I saw those little feet sticking out and choked on my iced tea! Great detail, Georgia!
Foolish humans! Have you never watched the Japanese Godzilla documentaries? Irresponsible human behavior will unleash the wrath of creatures such as Fluffapurrus Rex! On your own heads be it.
In my household, humans have been the subject of several exposes by cats Loud Howard and Charlie on the topic of “Why have noms been exactly one hour late every single meal since Nov 2? What is this outrage?!”
Well, I’d have to agree with their outrage – and at least where I come from, it was Nov. 1. But the November outrage doesn’t annoy me nearly as much as the one in the springtime. And on both occasions, it takes my internal clock about six months to get used to the time change, only to have it change all over again!
I once had a cat who opened the kibble boxes all by herself. First, she chewed a hole in the box, then she snaked a paw in and removed kibble on an as needed basis.
She seemed to want “her choice”, no matter what I put in the dish.
I used to buy boxes of different ‘flavors’ so everyone got their favorites in rotation…she just seemed to want the next flavor early. I think it tastes MUCH better if it’s ‘stolen’! ;-D
Stolen food tastes better! Absolutely. Same with water. People water is 100x tastier, especially in the middle of the night 2 seconds before I reach for it to soothe my scratchy throat. I drink it anyway, husband gets fresh.
I think when puck was searching “car abuse…cash abuse”he was searching for
“cat abuse”.Also, in panel 4 I don’t think anybody else noticed, but elvis
fainted in the cupboard.
I’m still convinced the Woman and Man are building up to a practical jok on the boys. After all, forgetting to have enough cat food in the house I like forgetting to breathe. It just isn’t done! (At least in our place)
The People likely have some new or better kitty food that the boys will love and Lupin will feel awful that the Toddler has been deprived of toilet paper too.
At our house kibble is bought in very large bags and stored in airtight plastic containers until needed. Low kibble levels are duly recorded on the shopping list. (This is NOT done for the dog, of course….)
We have three separate plastic containers that the bags are poured into for daily use – one for the birds, one for the dog, and one for the cat. And we have two jumbo sized plastic totes for storing extra bags. I can fit a 20lb bag in each of the daily containers, and three or four 20lb bags in each of the two big totes. I try to not run out of the backup bags. If I’m down to just what’s in the containers that I scoop their daily food from, it’s critical!
In our (now sadly) one cat household the man went into town and did not return with Feline Greenies! ” How many times has he been shown the bag, how many times have I, the remaining cat, reminded him that Greenies are the only acceptable treat for a 16 and a half year old cat! But no .. he comes home with one arm just as long as the other! Where do I report CAT ABUSE?” As always a great strip Georgia! Hugs.
And you just know if the person taking the call was a cat person, they’d be saying “aww, kitty, Im not sure what you’re saying” as EVERY cat person talks to a cat when it meows at them. 😉
Or more likely, “Really? Oh dear, that’s awful!” Admittedly when we say that to our cat, we are teasing her for her outrage that, an hour before mealtimes, she is about to starve to death because her food dish is…still full of half of the last meal.
Loving Puck’s call to the authorities. We often offer our dogs the phone to call the RSPCA when they’re giving us evil looks about the vacuum, complaining dinner is a little late or they’re mournful after their baths.
Yep, we say, “Oh, you poor thing! Someone call the SSPCA!” when our girlie is pouting about something ridiculous again. (Pouting with her ears, naturally, and perhaps pointedly sitting two feet away with her back turned.)
Too funny, out of kibbles. My cats come to the bedroom room door and now furever till I get up, and then herb me to the canned cat food and dry cat food. We (gulp) give them Meow Mix!!
My Oliver would simply sit behind his food dish and fix me with a stare until I got off the couch and put some food in the bowl. I think the CIA missed out on a great opportunity with him… LOL!
Georgia, I desperately needed to laugh this morning after a week of genuine catastrophe. Also, needed the reminder to feed our two felines, literally put out by disaster. ServePro is currently cleaning the basement. It’s 10:46 am and this woman has not yet put out the kibble ! Thank you.
Laura, hope everything turns out well for you. Spend lots of time with your cats – they are one of the most effective ways of soothing yourself when you’re under stress.
My children are not finding this funny and are currently warning me that this may NOT happen at our house EVER or the consequences shall be dire. Not sure I want to know what those would be…
I trust by Thursday morning all will be forgiven; the food and litter bowls and boxes will have been filled and the fearsome threesome will have gone on to other exciting things, major newsbreaks or who knows what!
You are amazing Georgia!
One reason I love BCN is that it’s all too real for me. Just about every strip published or will be published has happened to my four-pawed housemates, my mate and me. Usually I wake up very early and do the wafoopoo (change the WAter, put out the FOod and scoop the POOp) before I leave for work so my mate can sleep late and spend the day with them while I work hard to make sure the four-paws have all the toys, kibble n litter they desire. Lately, I’ve been working late and waking up later and rushing the wafoopoo so I can get to work. Apparently the four-paws have been upset about this. This morning one of them apparently has pulled out the plug from my alarm clock so I overslept so I was forced to dress without showering and on the way to the front door where I keep my shoes and keys, I stepped in a huge pile of extremely wet hairballs. The (cough)evil (cough) four-paws know how much I hate wet socks and have a hard time finding a pair of clean and dry socks… Long story short, I had to find another pair of socks, beg my mate to do the wafoopoo so i could dash to work. When I got to work, I realized the four-paws took my workkeys out of my pocket, so I’m apparently locked out of the office and the office bathroom. (someone tell me how they did that!) I had to wait for a workmate let me in and I have to use the common bathroom all day. (sighs). Must remember always wake up 6:15 AM every morning (grinds teeth) and do the WAFOOPOO timely and properly….
*Every* time I read back over a comic, I catch another great little touch or connection. This time, it’s breakfast as ‘the most important meal of the day’ tying back to the same statement in the article about elderly Matilda Quinn feeding the kittens in episode 8 of the Halloween special.
Dear Georgia
We are a Year 2 class in Sydney, Australia. We love reading your comics. We were catmendously surprised by the graphics in your comic and love how Lupin got revenge by wasting all the toilet paper.
From 2R
Oh, the humanity!
I think You mean, Catmanity.
Oh, the felinity!
Perhaps you mean “Oh the felinity!” 😉
Oh, the catnamity!
Oh, the huge manatee!
Oh, the calamity!
Oh, the catastrophe!
Oh the cat-a-strophe !
This isn’t a game, woman!!! 🙂
What toilet paper? Reminds me of my dogs more than the cats.
I need a high-res image of Lupin in panel 4 to use as a forum avatar.
I may be able to make that happen!
Hooray!
Alas, these threads do not allow me to post photos. If I post one in the studio’s FB thread for this strip, would you be able to get it there?
I don’t know about Andrew, but I can get it there! Please do!
Yessssss!
Yay!! I just posted it in the comments of the Facebook post of this strip!
The kitties’ plans for retaliation seem completely appropriate, under the circumstances.
HILARIOUS – to us ! “Did you forget that you have CATS ?!!”
Has Elvis fainted in the 4th panel?
Passed out Elvis! 🙂 Maybe it was the robber mice?
Oh, the inhumanity. If they are anything like my cats, the Humans will pay dearly for running out of cat supplies.
Toilet Paper Massacre: Revenge of the Starven! In theaters soon!
If I can’t poop, neither can you.
Lupin as Fluffasuarus Rex in a suit in that final panel. Also, did the Robber Mice make off with the Kibble?
Of course, that should have been Fluffapurrus Rex!
I had to go out to buy knibble to avoid this today even though I am home unwell from work. This was to make sure my two cats had dinner.
Is this another multi-part saga? I can’t imagine the People laughing about not having Kibble or kitty litter…. I’d expect to find all sorts of “surprises” in their shoes (or the shoes that haven’t been shredded).
Then again they could go after the….. gasp…. half knitted sweater!!!!
Oh my. When I first saw the expressions on the People’s faces I was sure that they were joking. But they were actually serious :O No kibble?! This is a serious matter that require the attention of cats everywhere.
Excellent strip, as always. Loved the murderous expression on Lupin’s face. And the serious expression on Puck, and on Elvis too. Absoutely wonderfully done.
“Did you forget you that have cats?” *cryinglaughing*
Also, Elvis fainting in the previous panel!
(I feel like there should be an link to the “different kind of kibble that tastes like betrayal” comic as ‘what happens next’.
LOL! Lupin in panel 4! I’ve felt like that before.
THAT”LL TEACH THEM!! Never have I seen an enraged Lupin but I am seeing him now! They had better buy the blue bagged kibble while they are at it.
Oh, those wicked little furry jerks — they have no sense of humor when it comes to their food and litter tray. LOL!
Well, frankly I wouldn’t have much of a sense of humour, either, if I were totally dependent on someone, and they allowed me to run out of both food and toilet paper… on the same day!
“WHAT TOILET PAPER?”
lol
I literally just snorted soda out my nose, all over my monitor… ‘THIS ISN’T A GAME, WOMAN!’, ‘DID YOU FORGET THAT YOU HAVE CATS?!!’ – I haven’t laughed that hard in quite a while. Magnificent strip as always, Georgia! Though it does make me wonder if that’s Lupin’s usual revenge for ‘slights’ in RL? 😉
Not a subject to make light of, as far as cats are concerned. Oh yes, Man and Woman will be sorry.
Lupin is downright scary in panel 4! Better cook some bacon.
NO KIBBLE??? THIS IS A CAT-ASROPHE!!!
Oh the felinity!
The most horrifying, terrible, and and UNACCEPTABLE sight, in the whole universe, is the bottom of the crunchy bowl. It’s more terrifying than staring down into a black hole at oblivion. It means there are no more crunchies, anywhere in the universe—AND IT’S ALL THE PEOPLE’S FAULT! HOW COULD THEY LET SUCH A MONSTROUS CATASTROPHE OCCUR?

It’s always the People’s fault, if cats don’t like it. I’m sure my patio ferals have decided that I’m responsible every time it rains here.
Indeed! Kibble Soup is an indignity that no cat should be expected to bear!
Yes, and I’m responsible for turning on the sun. :-/
My older cat has always held me personally responsible for the weather. Rain and snow earn me glares and side-eyes all winter long. He also sighs.
Perhaps there should be an immediate meeting with ‘Feline Resources’ to discuss the ongoing issues with staff
Andrew, pawsome comment!!
This requires the emergency can of tuna!
The evil Lupin face in panel 4! And puck having to take things into his own paws ! And Elvis, “did you forget you have cats ?” All priceless.
I have a suggestion for another special report, maybe: the health/vet care crisis, except the crisis part is having to go to the vet, and the very rude place they put the thermometer.
Elvis unleashes the ultimate weapon, tp destruction by Fluffapurrus! Those are crazy extreme maniacal looks you gave Lupin, love it! whew, an angry Puck. Now they’ll be sorry. Cats have their own yellow pages? let your paws do the walking.
Horrified Lupin is Horrifying!
Elvis passed out in cupboard – too funny!!
He’s catatonic. (Groan.)
LOL!!! Yes, cats are VERY unforgiving when it comes to their food being late and/or missing, not to mention anything else that they feel is due them. :p I remember my cats Tux and Precious, when they were kittens, felt like my parents had abandoned them because they went out on a date, and my sister and brother-in-law were put in charge of cat-sitting/baby-sitting . . . which they DID not like (neither did my brother and I), so the kitties both crept into their bedroom (my sis and bro-in-law were staying with us for awhile) and they peed all over their bed. LOL . . . yeah . . . cats will have their way. 😉 I just adore the hysteria and Lupin’s crazed eyes as he shreds the toilet paper.
Love the news crawl in the “broadcast.” Yes, we make everything a crisis, asking questions that will quickly become irrelevant.
I missed Elvis’s Near Death pose. No way around it: this is just hysterical. Revenge will come in the Dark of the Night!
I love that Puck is going the “civil” route of notifying the proper authorities. LOL
Puck is so sweet. I noticed too that at his angriest, he’s still a sweet good boy BUT he must report ‘criminal neglect’ whether it was intentional or not.
I KNOW! I love Pucky. Reminds me of my “little” black fluff of fur, Chester.
ANARCHY REIGNS!!!
Lupin… see, you expect Elvis to raise all sorts of hell but not the friendly cat of adventure!
“Did you forget you have cats?!!”
Cat dramatics at their finest(?).
Not really. Running out of cat food and cat toiletries in a cat household really does take some thoughtlessness. There had better be emergency tuna and bacon.
“Thoughtlessness” is a bit harsh. Absent-mindedness, yes, but to be thoughtless implies that one does not even care.
And yes, Elvis does tend toward the over-dramatic.
The first three definitions of “thoughtless” at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/thoughtless?s=t do fit:
1. lacking in consideration for others; inconsiderate; tactless:
a thoughtless remark.
2. characterized by or showing lack of thought:
a shallow, thoughtless book.
3. not thinking enough; careless or heedless:
thoughtless of his health.
Not having food for a family member is “lacking in consideration for others”, “showing lack of thought”, and “not thinking enough”.

That’s it. I’m sending Baba Mouse over each of your houses to set things right.
Thanks so much. Really funny!
Where’s the graph to demonstrate the inverse correlation between cat food levels and property destruction?
Elvis’ outrage in panel 6 is priceless!
I’m no psychic, but I predict The Man will be back shortly with kibble and litter, and the potential cat-aclysm will be narrowly averted.
Ooh, the People will be sorry that they “forgot” to get kibble and litter! I’ve got a feeling that they’ll never forget again!
Better call the man on his cell phone and tell him when he’s getting kitty litter, he’d better pick up some “human litter” (toilet paper) while he’s at it.
Did Elvis faint?? I thought the Woman, or more likely the Man closed the door on him.
No kibble? Gasp! The outrage! Will there be a peevish editorial about Cat Neglect, Georgia?
Georgia, if you had made Lupin a true Fluffapurrus all we would have seen would have been his evil eyes!
Ann and Dawn commented on fainting Elvis in panel 4 and when I looked again I saw those little feet sticking out and choked on my iced tea! Great detail, Georgia!
Just started to worry; what happens if The Man can’t get the Blue Bag Kibble.
I have never seen Puck so upset. Elvis yes, Lupin sort of, but not Puck the adorable.
I will spend the rest of the day wondering who Puck is talking to in Panel 7.
Foolish humans! Have you never watched the Japanese Godzilla documentaries? Irresponsible human behavior will unleash the wrath of creatures such as Fluffapurrus Rex! On your own heads be it.
“PRACTICALLY NOON” Hahaha!
In my household, humans have been the subject of several exposes by cats Loud Howard and Charlie on the topic of “Why have noms been exactly one hour late every single meal since Nov 2? What is this outrage?!”
Well, I’d have to agree with their outrage – and at least where I come from, it was Nov. 1. But the November outrage doesn’t annoy me nearly as much as the one in the springtime. And on both occasions, it takes my internal clock about six months to get used to the time change, only to have it change all over again!
“Loud Howard”. WAHAHAHAHA! You win Best Cat Name of the Day. Still laughing! Love it. (^_^)
I just read it aloud to the Man and he burst out laughing, “That’s SUCH a good name!”
No kibble is definitely a poofy tail moment for Lupin and Puck. Today’s entry was wonderful.
I don’t recall seeing Puck’s ear hair before. Is he so angry that his ear hair has puffed up?
I once had a cat who opened the kibble boxes all by herself. First, she chewed a hole in the box, then she snaked a paw in and removed kibble on an as needed basis.
She seemed to want “her choice”, no matter what I put in the dish.
I used to buy boxes of different ‘flavors’ so everyone got their favorites in rotation…she just seemed to want the next flavor early. I think it tastes MUCH better if it’s ‘stolen’! ;-D
Stolen food tastes better! Absolutely. Same with water. People water is 100x tastier, especially in the middle of the night 2 seconds before I reach for it to soothe my scratchy throat. I drink it anyway, husband gets fresh.
Its a universal “cat fact” that the food they spend immense amounts of effort stealing, will be ignored if you actually put it in their bowl.
My StarClan. I think this my favorite one yet. ☺
Omv I actually lol’d at this one. I never lol at stuff when I’m alone! =)
I think when puck was searching “car abuse…cash abuse”he was searching for
“cat abuse”.Also, in panel 4 I don’t think anybody else noticed, but elvis
fainted in the cupboard.
Actually, several other people already commented on Elvis fainting, but I have to admit that I had missed it until I read their comments!
Or Cat Bus – ” I’m a celebrity get me out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
This reminds me of “its 7.31 on a Saturday and the food bowl is empty” circa March 2014 – it seems the people are out of control again!
yes, that was the one that got me hooked on BCN
LOL! Lupin in panel four! Admit it, you just had to do one more Halloween drawing!
I love Elvis’s (rhetorical?) question: “Did you forget you have cats?” And I am reminded that I need to go buy litter…
I’m still convinced the Woman and Man are building up to a practical jok on the boys. After all, forgetting to have enough cat food in the house I like forgetting to breathe. It just isn’t done! (At least in our place)
The People likely have some new or better kitty food that the boys will love and Lupin will feel awful that the Toddler has been deprived of toilet paper too.
(Excuse all the typos. My tablet doesn’t work with my fingers that well.)
I have a bluetooth keyboard for my tablet, because I hate trying to use the on-screen keyboard.
I do too but I hate opening it up unless I’m typing out a lot if wordsm
I love Puck on the phone, and the banner at the bottom “Now they’ll be sorry”. This was great.
Our whole household is laughing, except the cats of course- they are not amused!
At our house kibble is bought in very large bags and stored in airtight plastic containers until needed. Low kibble levels are duly recorded on the shopping list. (This is NOT done for the dog, of course….)
We have three separate plastic containers that the bags are poured into for daily use – one for the birds, one for the dog, and one for the cat. And we have two jumbo sized plastic totes for storing extra bags. I can fit a 20lb bag in each of the daily containers, and three or four 20lb bags in each of the two big totes. I try to not run out of the backup bags. If I’m down to just what’s in the containers that I scoop their daily food from, it’s critical!
Never! Never! Forget the kibble! This is so funny. Thanks for the laugh. I loved the looks on the kitties faces.
ANGRY LUPIN! GRaaar! Also, you and the man seem to be up to something, there, Georgia. Hmmm…
In our (now sadly) one cat household the man went into town and did not return with Feline Greenies! ” How many times has he been shown the bag, how many times have I, the remaining cat, reminded him that Greenies are the only acceptable treat for a 16 and a half year old cat! But no .. he comes home with one arm just as long as the other! Where do I report CAT ABUSE?” As always a great strip Georgia! Hugs.
Poofy tailed Puck is so cute! What must the the folks on the other side think…
“Meow! Merow mrow MEOW!! MEOW!!!”
“…Um, hello?”
“HISS mrow mew meow mew meow mrah…”
“Guys, I think a cat got ahold of someone’s phone, you gotta hear this.”
“Mrah? Mrew, meow mraw.”
And you just know if the person taking the call was a cat person, they’d be saying “aww, kitty, Im not sure what you’re saying” as EVERY cat person talks to a cat when it meows at them. 😉
Or more likely, “Really? Oh dear, that’s awful!” Admittedly when we say that to our cat, we are teasing her for her outrage that, an hour before mealtimes, she is about to starve to death because her food dish is…still full of half of the last meal.
I’m so glad I bought a fresh container of litter Sunday. It would have been very messy…
Loving Puck’s call to the authorities. We often offer our dogs the phone to call the RSPCA when they’re giving us evil looks about the vacuum, complaining dinner is a little late or they’re mournful after their baths.
Yep, we say, “Oh, you poor thing! Someone call the SSPCA!” when our girlie is pouting about something ridiculous again. (Pouting with her ears, naturally, and perhaps pointedly sitting two feet away with her back turned.)
WOW! They are really furious! Lupin looks possessed in the last frame! !
Did the Starbucks controversy inspire this? lol
Too funny, out of kibbles. My cats come to the bedroom room door and now furever till I get up, and then herb me to the canned cat food and dry cat food. We (gulp) give them Meow Mix!!
Funny comment Sionyx.
Release THE LUPIN!
ROFL!!!
Georgia,
You have to work in the Cat Grieving Cycle !!!!
-Me
I love Lupin doing his version of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”!
My Oliver would simply sit behind his food dish and fix me with a stare until I got off the couch and put some food in the bowl. I think the CIA missed out on a great opportunity with him… LOL!
Switching to raw and sawdusft?
Georgia, I desperately needed to laugh this morning after a week of genuine catastrophe. Also, needed the reminder to feed our two felines, literally put out by disaster. ServePro is currently cleaning the basement. It’s 10:46 am and this woman has not yet put out the kibble ! Thank you.
Laura, hope everything turns out well for you. Spend lots of time with your cats – they are one of the most effective ways of soothing yourself when you’re under stress.
Is there anyway you could post lupin in that last panel on Facebook as well? I absolutely adore it.
Yes!! I just posted it in the comments of the Facebook post of this strip!
I love how Lupin goes nuts! Don’t upset that kitty!
My children are not finding this funny and are currently warning me that this may NOT happen at our house EVER or the consequences shall be dire. Not sure I want to know what those would be…
They’d shred the toilet paper too? Best make sure you keep extra kibble on hand at all times!
“Cat call * Now they’ll be sorry” hahahahahahaaaaaaaa
Blahahahaha!
Whahahaha!!!
Just… Lol
I trust by Thursday morning all will be forgiven; the food and litter bowls and boxes will have been filled and the fearsome threesome will have gone on to other exciting things, major newsbreaks or who knows what!
You are amazing Georgia!

Must remember always wake up 6:15 AM every morning (grinds teeth) and do the WAFOOPOO timely and properly….
*Every* time I read back over a comic, I catch another great little touch or connection. This time, it’s breakfast as ‘the most important meal of the day’ tying back to the same statement in the article about elderly Matilda Quinn feeding the kittens in episode 8 of the Halloween special.
Dear Georgia
We are a Year 2 class in Sydney, Australia. We love reading your comics. We were catmendously surprised by the graphics in your comic and love how Lupin got revenge by wasting all the toilet paper.

Hello!!! Thank you so much for reading! It makes me so happy to know you like the comic, thank you for letting me know!
I like the part where Lupin says, “THIS ISN’T A GAME WOMAN!”
I can imagine my cats saying that if I forget to feed them! 🙂
