Every panel is my favorite but Puck looking offscreen to ask if Quinoa is french for bacon is my favorite favorite. Georgia…. you make me look forward to Monday.
It’s the exact same look I get when I give too much attention to the Babycat and my poor Boyd has to sit all alone at the end of the couch. “Oh. Well, I suppose my belly will just rub *itself* then.”
Yay! another brilliant BCN comic strip, and yay! first time receiving the email notification on the new comic from His excellency Elvis!
Thanks for a great start to the week…
Fantastic!! Thank you for letting me know! Today I used an entirely new email service to send them! I am hoping they went out with much more success than in the past!
“Because HE loves US.” They just want people food. That’s all they ask. Plus, Elvis is right, if you encountered a
lobster without knowing it was food, you wouldn’t make the assumption.
Yes the 1st email notification for me too………not that it’s needed.
Ours do that too. My wife buys something poncy for them, (terrine fusion was the latest) which is sniffed & ignored. Eventually the regular stuff comes out, which they all eat.
I love every one of these episodes of breaking Cat News! The cats are so real and so funny and I have gained some insight into my own cats. I love their names too – especially Elvis! Thank you for all the laughs!
We don’t bother with the fancy food for this very reason. However, in this house it is never safe to leave a waffle unattended, even for a moment. Especially if it’s warm.
so happy! just subscribed to your website and this is the first email i got (even though i’ve been an avid reader for months!) these comics make me so happy, i love them!
I feed my cats canned food every day at 5 and they start crying for it, sometimes hours, before it is time. When they hear the metal scrape they come running. So far they are crazy for everything but pate.
I never feed them lobster stuff. Just chicken, beef, etc. Do you give them canned food regularly?
What’s funny is my little boy does most of the crying for canned food, but he often ignores treats and people food. Whereas little girl will wait quietly until she hears the can but will chew my fingers off if I have a strawberry.
I’ve been studying and thinking and I think the penultimate panel is my favorite. The “shrug” and the “sigh” make me happy because I like the interaction with the Woman. They’re trying not to hurt her feelings in a cat way.
Also, one might think I spend too much time dissecting each comic, but they make me so happy in a weary world. 😉
Thank you, Jenna! I feel like you often like the little bits that are my own favorites, thank you for that! 🙂 (When he read it, the Man’s favorite part was the shrug and sigh too!)
Scruffles & Bear are alerted by their six cats at 5 a.m. every morning (by being walked on and having butts stuck in their faces) that there is a national food emergency because two of the six cat dishes are empty and four are only half full. Bear gets up and wanders around in a brain fog filling cat dishes, and half an hour later there is the traditional 5:30 a.m. barfing in places where Bear will walk later in bare feet. About 9 a.m. there is the firing of the butt cannons, at the climax of which Bandit the Alpha Cat will emit such toxic and lethal fumes as could kill an adult rhinoceros in seconds. The symphony of screams and cries from Scruffles and Bear is next, until a coughing Bear covers up Bandit’s artistic endeavors and sprays the house with Lysol. This is called “a weekday breakfast at Scruffles & Bear’s house.”
Going along with panel 8, I do wonder why people put greens in cat food. Cat’s aren’t not omnivorous like dogs or people; they’re carnivorous. That’s why they vomit up plants. From what I hear, they often eat plants to help them get rid of hairballs.
I mostly chalk it up to lack of understanding. Still, I’d wish they’d do the research.
I wonder whether you’ll see a new post on an old report…??? i discovered BCN last month. I live alone with three cats and long-term Lyme disease. i almost never laugh any more, except with my cats. but your series makes me laugh out loud, and sometimes makes me weep.
panel six made me laugh for a whole minute at least. it’s perfect. reminds me of my Russian Blue rescue, Bill.
Thank you so much for this brilliant site. It’s better than netflix.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am thrilled that you enjoy the strip so much and that it gets you laughing! (There is nothing like laughing; I hope it keeps you laughing!)
I don’t know how far you have read, but later in the strip there is a Russian Blue character named Baba Mouse!

So so true! “Is Quinoa french for ‘Traffic cone?'”
Oh Lupin, we all love you x
…. This is our cats right now. Only not just with food. With everything.
Puck is throwing some serious shade in the third panel! love it!!
LUPIN! I MEAN LUPIN!!
Haha!! Somehow I still knew–Shade! I love it!!!
It’s the exact same look I get when I give too much attention to the Babycat and my poor Boyd has to sit all alone at the end of the couch. “Oh. Well, I suppose my belly will just rub *itself* then.”
I know, right? That’s my favorite panel, because Lupin’s expression is just the absolute best.
Yay! another brilliant BCN comic strip, and yay! first time receiving the email notification on the new comic from His excellency Elvis!

I feel like the fourth panel would be pretty great on am apron.
Ugh, AN apron, stupid phone.
AND I meant the FIFTH panel. GUH. I am made of stupid today.
It would definitely be a good apron design!
I would buy that apron. Just saying.
I may have to make this happen….
Box of ham!…heh, heh, heh!
Yea! I got my first email notification ever in months 🙂
Hooray!! I used an entirely different email service today, and it seems to have done the trick! Here’s hoping it keeps up the good work!
Because HE loves us. 🙂
Yeah, that’s it.
“Because HE loves US.” They just want people food. That’s all they ask. Plus, Elvis is right, if you encountered a

I’m so relieved the notifications are finally coming through! Our boys too, if it’s not what they know they won’t touch it.*
*Unless it is ham.
Chicken?
*Sometimes* …Ham is always a sure bet though, particularly with Puck!
I prefer cheese and warm broccoli, honestly, and catnip ……….. mmm catnip
Bahaha this is hilarious. And true. My Batty Cat won’t touch anything that isn’t from a budget can, and smells like fish heads and entrails.
I’ve found the key to cat treat happiness is (meat-flavored) baby food. That stuff is kitty crack.
I love every one of these episodes of breaking Cat News! The cats are so real and so funny and I have gained some insight into my own cats. I love their names too – especially Elvis! Thank you for all the laughs!
Oh yeah, I once bought something like tuna + crab + rice and my cats didn’t want to touch it.
Panel three Lupin wins the internet.
Also, “box of ham?” What sort of ham is Puck buying?
This one really hits home! Except that sometimes they will LOVE the first can, then when I buy more … I get that “you expect us to eat THIS?” look.
We don’t bother with the fancy food for this very reason. However, in this house it is never safe to leave a waffle unattended, even for a moment. Especially if it’s warm.
I love that! Elvis has a similar affinity for pancakes!
so happy! just subscribed to your website and this is the first email i got (even though i’ve been an avid reader for months!) these comics make me so happy, i love them!

We do, our boys get canned in the morning and evening (they’re little piggies) with dry as an occasional substitute or an extra snack.

I would be very happy if my cats preferred the less expensive food. But no, the pricier it is, the happier they are to eat it.
And then puke it up, of course, because one of my cats is a puker.
Elvis is our regular puker… Which, really, comes as no surprise I think, ha!

You just made me appreciate my cats a little more – thank you 😉
Is that a teabag in Lupin’s coffee cup?
Yes, indeed it is!! 🙂 Great catch!
Is Lupin drinking tea?it seems like it in the 3 first panels?
Yes, he is! Good eye!
Elvis’ commentary on the Catch-and-Release-and-Catch nature of cats and living edibles is pure gold!
So much laugh…can’t breathe……!!!
As another webcomic I read once observed, It isn’t premium cat food if you can’t get it IN the cat!

Hello Liza!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I am thrilled that you enjoy the strip so much and that it gets you laughing! (There is nothing like laughing; I hope it keeps you laughing!)

I LOVE Lupin’s face when he says “Because HE loves us”. Classic. Totally love this comic.
