    Ha! That look on the face of Elvis is priceless!

    But hey, at least Tommy have a company now, not all alone out there.

    Oohhhh, To Be Continued indeed! Is this new gal (my guess based on the lashes) based on a real kitty like all the others?

        Yep–ginger cats are mostly (by about 3:1) male.

      Oh, those are typical “long-hair-cat” loooong eyebrow whiskers. They can get so very looooooooong.

    She looks an awful lot like my late boy Madison. (his mother was a show Persian who snuck out at the “wrong” time.) Lupin holding Elvis back is great! I can’t wait to learn more about the new member of the ‘family’.

      Awww, we had a cat named Madison, a maine coon, Fluffy golden fur…

      All the family loved him, sadly, he died last year, Madison is a great fluffy cat name…

      sorry if I made you sad. I miss Madison

    New kitty! And an orange tabby, to boot! The last panel of Lupin and Elvis is priceless. I’m sure that Tommy, being Tommy, will be rubbing noses with the new guy while Elvis goes bonkers at the window. This should be fun!

    Kittehs of that coloring are usually male, and very, very special. At my house, they always have nicknames of Boy and Bad Bob. And the last panel is great. Elvis’s ears! And we’ve never seen Tommy not grinning from ear to ear!

    The new cat is just stunning, so handsome and beautifully drawn, but i can’t stop looking at Elvis in the last panel, LOL.
    And then there’s Lupin, his expression barely changes but i can hear him going ‘Keep calm! No sudden moves and maybe Elvis wont flip out!’
    And of course we can’t forget Tommy <3 must admit i give a extra Yayy when he turns up 😀
    Hmm, no Puck… is he off trying to find unguarded bacon?

    Oh my goodness what a beautiful kitty! is he scottish? I initially thought it was the Beloved Sophie. Will it be continued today? I can’t wait, questions, questions, someone hold me back, Lupin. 🙂

    A few things I noticed: Tommy doesn’t seem his happy go lucky self and even his outfit is less flamboyant than usual. He has definitely become one of the crew and it’s clear that he is a bit apprehensive about the new kitty. It’s so funny that he used to be the one Elvis got “big fur” over and now he’s one of the kitties trying to calm him down lol. And I love Lupin’s tail in the first panel. I know there has to be some significance to that..lol..And last but not least, I’ve noticed that while my friends are watching their favorite daytime soaps and are addicted to the drama, BCN is my favorite soap..lol. I love Elvis’s whole look in the last panel..can’t wait to see what happens next 😊

      I think Tommy is wearing a jacket over his normal Hawaiian shirt, because of the fall weather.

    While I agree with everyone on the awesomeness of Elvis’ last expression… I somehow can’t stop going back to look at him in the second panel, with that as-yet calm raised eyebrow… Love it! And I can’t even figure out what to think about semi-serious Tommy! But what a gorgeous beard our newbie has! Can’t stop hearing Monty Python’s lumberjack song in my head now…

    I love this strip! The look on Elvis is priceless, and Tommy not having a huge smile even has me shocked. For some reason, I picture the new cat having an Irish or Scottish accent in my mind. Can’t wait to see the next strip!

    So I wasn’t the only one who looked at the new cat and thought “Scotsman”, cool. He looks like a Jock or a Hamish. He is definitely a beautiful boy.

    I love Elvis’ ears.

    Love the handsome outdoorsman, are he and Tommy sharing a wardrobe? His slacks are the same color as Tommy’s jacket or just a coincindence? Love Lupin holding Elvis back. Hope Puck finally got some bacon, or maybe he is transcribing more of Lupin’s jingles, tee hee.

    We had a great looking stranger in our backyard for the past couple of years. All black, just like our Gus, but with three white paws. He was finally getting used to us enough that he wouldn’t run away until we got up close. Now he’s vanished, and Gus is so lonely. He’s needed a lot of love and attention the last couple of weeks. I have a terrible feeling that our beautiful stranger fell victim to a passing motorist.

    I know it’s not intentional since, as you say, it’s based on a real cat, but that cat reminds me of one of the ones in Neko Atsume.

    Another wonderful show stopper Georgia! Keep us all on edge until Monday. Yellow cats are indeed the best, and many of them are girls. We have had several yellow mom cats at the shelter this year with both girl and boy yellow kittens. I will agree that the yellows are generally boys.
    You are amazing!

    I’m surprised you didn’t introduce another girl cat – though I suppose since its based on a real cat you wanted to keep it “true to life” 🙂
    I’ve not met many girl cats who are totally ginger, but a lot of girl ginger/whites. My own girl is a beautiful tortoiseshell/white/ginger!
    Can’t wait to see what happens:)

    Perhaps Tommy’s woman just got this new guy or is “sitting on cats” for a friend and the new guy is being a big pain, which is why Tommy is not as happy as usual. or also wondering if the new guy is Puck’s turn at an adventure?? Are we getting close Georgia?

    I have a very petite ginger cat, who I call my forever kitten. Her name….Goldee, her eyes are so gold colored as is her fur. She is also one of my rescue cats.

    I love the continuing stories….keep them coming. Am I assuming this is about shelter cats?

    Love the thermos! So fall in the northeast.

    We had our own “trespass” this morning. I sat out with my coffe to find a dark grey face staring at me over the porch stairs. He/she ran away before our two Siamese could sound an alarm.
