Clue/Question:  The cat thought the way his owner was petting him was – – –

Answer:  “PURR–FECTION“

(Hmm!  Not sure if the guys have given us “PURR-FECTION” before, or simply “PURR-FECT”, but we’ve definitely had something like this pun in the past.  It’s a good, silly pun.  It always puts me in mind of the Julie Newmar Catwoman, from the original, campy, live-action “Batman” television show, from the mid 1960s.  My God, she was GORGEOUS!  Eartha Kitt was pretty good too, although at 40-41 she was a little long in the tooth to play the role.  But, no one can beat her – the original – “Santa Baby”!

Yes, we’ve seen all four of today’s clue words before.  All members, in good standing, of the ralis95 clue word database.   Two of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “cupho” and “sgpois” in previous Jumbles.  They all came fairly quickly.  The answer letter layout was an elusive eleven letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.  But the final answer was a no-brainer, with the cartoon and the quotation marks and hyphen.

Fine cartoon of the cat-lady’s set up.  I liked the scratching post/perch, and the little catnip mouse on the floor.  That kitty is definitely enjoying his scratching massage.  With some cats they will nip you when you stop!  It’s like they’re saying to you:  “I didn’t tell you to stop!”  LOL!  Fun – if  unoriginal – Jumble pun.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
