Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 11, 2015

Oh my gosh, I’m totally in hysterics. This has got to be the funniest thing I’ve read!Best strip yet!

That was my MIL when my son was a baby. Of course, HER three dogs were perfectly safe with him! I didn’t trust her dogs, and she didn’t trust my two cats. The cats and baby lived with my husband and me…guess who l allowed near the baby?

Stealing the baby’s breath? That is not the cats- it’s the florist! Flower shops always have “baby’s breath” in arrangements and my cat loves to nibble that.

Stealing the baby’s breath is an old wives tale that comes about from the fact that a cat is curious about the stale milk smell of a baby’s breath. They sniff around the kid’s mouth trying to figure out the smell. It’s perfectly natural and harmless. I’m surprised that anyone in this day and age would still believe that nonsense.

The baby’s breath is safe. It’s his tongue they want.

That’s just a tale from an old witch who is jealous because she doesn’t have a baby. As for Elvis, the first touch of the baby’s hand will all needs to change his mind about going near the baby. He will be there all the time.

That woman looks like she should have a gingerbread house in the woods!

Tell it like it is, cats! It’s time that old myth got retired for good!

Love Elvis’ outrage and sarcasm!

“BE RIGHT BACK. BUILDING A TOWER TO IMPRISON THE BABY”There are certain things I don’t need to be reading at work. :)

I love the Angry Kitty Kilroy in panel 3.

: D Huge laugh! Their sarcastic outrage is just fabulous!

LUPIN driven to outrage and snarkery!!?! What is this world coming to! Elvis’s indignation is hysterical; his ears say it all. Dear little Puck; who could suspect him of ANYthing bad?

The sass from Lupin! And poor Puck, so offended. Great comments from Elvis too :)

When we brought our daughter home from the hospital, our kitty Wendy climbed in the bassinet and curled up next to the baby. My mother freaked out! Hah! Not only did Wendy not steal any breath, she slept with daughter from then on! Thus cementing a life-long bond with cats in daughter!

If you click on the camera lens on the right (next to the Pinterest sign) you can see a picture of the baby, asleep with an arm over Elvis. Elvis is really just a big softie!

I am bummed because BCN is not showing up on this page!Instead PHOEBE is there as it was above. Guess I’ii have to go to Georgia’s web and look it up again.

They’re not stealing anything. It just happened to fall off the back of a truck and they were holding onto it until somebody came along to claim ownership.

Lupin in panel 5. Awesome. I’ve always guessed that the “stealing the baby’s breath” bit was rooted in allergies. If a baby had athsma and was allergic, and had an attack whenever a cat was nearby, it might look like the cat was stealing the baby’s breath.

Love Lupin’s expressions in panels 5-6.

There’s an easier way than that. I just go to the triangle at the end of the tool bar, and it will give you an option to zoom the strip. That works even if the strip is not showing.

I just love the cats and the people, but don’t tell my Tommy and Teresa. They might get jealous.

Don’t let Puck walk in front of the baby! Definitely don’t let him climb a ladder over the baby’s head! Definitely definitely don’t let him carry an open umbrella while doing it inside the house!The baby might knock the ladder over and hurt him.

Right, jadoo. Somewhere, sometime a cat probably was found sitting on a baby that had just died of SIDS, and the poor cat got the blame. Worth remembering: Just because a cat has kittens in the oven, that doesn’t make them biscuits.

I’m happy to report that today strip is showing correctly and it is another GEM!

When I was a child it was specifically Siamese that were tarred with this odd brush.

Every time a new strip comes out Ithink this is the funniest then the next appears and I think This is the funniest Georgia you keep topping yourself!

I think that this could go on for the next hour or so…

I have removed a cat that was laying on top of a baby. I have also heard tales of babies being suffocated this way. I would love to hear that those tales were not true, but that scared me.
