Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 13, 2019

Love the “Washington crossing the Delaware” poses.

Yes indeed – some days, you just have to let the madness happen, and be ready with a broom!

The Woman seems to be taking this whole thing remarkably calmly.

Poor Admiral Whiskerstache! I hope they left a few nibbles for him.

Now, why would the Man assume that Lupin (Lupin-ette) is the primary cause here? Just because he has a history? And because he’s secretly a tiny horse?

With the table upside down, things don’t make as much of a splash when they fall to the floor.

No Particular Tune (reprise): The Ballad of Potato Salad

There is a legend throughout the land

Of three cats and their three mouse friends.

They set their sights on a goal

Of a delectable looking bowl!

They kept their eyes

On that amazing prize

And after many tries

Their success did arise!

…….

Come along with me and sing

Of a most delicious thing!

It has bacon, mayo, and some cheese,

Even Elvis will be so pleased,

Puck knows they will win

When Lupin-ette leaps in!

…….

The Robber Mice, they get their due,

Enjoying some salad, too

Do you think it’s kinda mean,

Leaving it to the Woman to clean?

No matter, we all had fun,

Thank you so much, Georgia Dunn!

I hope the grocery bags are full of ingredients for replacement potato salad for hoomins to enjoy.

He looks quite proud to be labeled non-stop!

Non-stop, extra, too much, over-the-top, Lupin-ette answers to all.

The man knows who the disaster maker is.

The kitties would have to wrestle me for that potato salad!

Time to head out to KFC.

OT. Nushi fund raiser address

She is making remarkable progress but fighting this killer disease is terribly expensive. Every bit helps and you can donate anonymously.

This must be the grand finale of the remarkable adventure as our brave crew sails off on the good ship picnic table. Love Lupin still balanced on the table leg as if it were a mast. Time for a power nap now boys.

As we celebrate another Caturday, let’s send out another salvo of healing purrs, boops, hugs, and barks to all our animal and human friends who need them, especially Nushi, Jasper and Ester. And {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{All Orbs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}!

I love how Lupin’s been wearing his ear the last few days!

Crossing the Delaware reenactment for the final scene… love it!

“Row, row, row your table …”

Thank you for this amazing interpretation of Hamilton! Sad to see it ending with the end of Act I. Or does that mean that we will, at some future date, get Act II?

Standing ovation for Georgia Dunn and Company!

No one can outmatch the Cat of Adventure.

Magnificent! I love everything about this, but particularly the cats’ expressions: noble Elvis, delighted Puck, and super-pleased Lupin(-ette).

They are crossing the Delaware, with General Elvis and all the little mice rowing.

Way to cute.

Wouldn’t the Lupinette Crossing the Delaware make a great tee shirt?

Jasper is alive and (getting) well! He ate all the special food and is now walking around sniffing everything, scratching on his scratch pad (!!) and trying to go outside (no way). (He’s not going to be too happy when I pill him later) THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!! PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Washington crossing the Delaware!

If you live with a “Lupin,” you get used to it.

The entire purpose of this arc was to recreate the Crossing of the Delaware. Bravo!

He’s being visible.

I love this finale! I’m not familiar with Hamilton, but I now have the urge to guy the soundtrack. Thank you, Georgia, for this fun interpretation. (((((((((((((((((((Mega-Orb))))))))))))))))))

There ought to be a statue of Lupin in that pose, the little dickens. :D

Hi Orbsters, I’ll be off to Nashville tomorrow, where my partner will be undergoing some tests at Vanderbilt Medical Center. I will be checking in here from time to time but might not have time to comment. Just know that I will be thinking of all of you and all of your pets and sending out purrs, prayers and boops to all who need them!

There are times, when as a parent, you have to evaluate your and their reality, and decide which one is working the best.

The woman seems to have a neck brace on. Plus, this arc is finally over.

I have to admit, The Woman’s lookin’ kinda hot today.

OT Jasper: Aspen-Bell’s Jasper has been very ill, and she had to use her next months rent to pay the bills. (See her previous day’s post to learn just how sick he was.) Please help her out for saving Jasper—after all, he lives there too!

Great Independence Day theme Elvis and the crossing of the Delaware.

Love “General” Elvis. Of course, the humans and mice have to do all the work rowing, can’t have a cat doing manual labor!!

Sis (Shaunnmunn) sends everyone lots of love. She has been under a lot of stress lately but hopes to start back on BCN soon. Thanks for all your concern for her. Blessings to everyone. ♥

house of crazy funny furball !

I know cats aren’t known for sharing, but couldn’t someone please open the window so Tommy can have a bite. Or maybe he sneaked in when the Man came in?

OT: Family update:

I went to a funeral yesterday, for a woman at mom’s church who died the same day as K (Monday). K’s funeral was Thursday back home & I missed it. I wasn’t sure I wanted to go to mom’s friend’s, but I’m glad I did – for me it was kind of a twofer, because I was thinking of K & my other family-by-choice back home, & the same words applied to them as to the folks here.

Great news RE M! She’s getting out of the hospital & going to rehab some time in the next few days, as soon as they can find a place for her. She didn’t want to go to “a place full of old people” but her mom & her roommate talked some sense into her & told her the same thing I told PJ last year: “You’re not coming home until you can get to the bathroom & wipe your own behind!” I don’t think she realizes yet just how much she’s lost after nearly a month in the hospital & almost dying.

Aaaaand…last but not least: Today is my mom’s birthday! She’s 86 years young & still going a mile a minute. My sibs, my son & DIL, some of the grandkids, & a couple of the great-grands will be here later today & we’re all going out for dinner. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM, & keep on being nonstop for many years to come!

Lots & lots of love & thanks to all in the Mega-Orb, & (((((HUGGZ))))), purrrrrrrrrrz, nose taps, headbonks, snorgles, meows, yips, tail wags, chirps, & other good stuffs to all, with double doses to all who need it!

I love how Lupin has frequently been shown with one ear turned to the front and one to the back as befits a cat involved in a revolution!

OT: Becoming a one-cat household on my birthday.

So I came downstairs this morning and found what I expected: my Babygirl had gone to the Bridge after her 3 weeks of decline. She almost made it to 17 human years, and she left behind some very fond memories, and I’ll miss the silly little trout. (when she came home from being spayed, she couldn’t quite walk yet, but in trying, she moved across the floor like a fish out of water)

It’s very likely she’s my last cat, as my Lady is seriously allergic; when her Pampered Persian Princess leaves us, we’ll be the only two mammals of the house. A reptile or two may happen; we don’t know.

Thank you, mega-orb, for being the supportive, caring folks you are. Thank you, Georgia, for your delightful art and whimsy. Laughing at the boys—and Goldie when she becomes part of the strip—eases things immeasurably. I value y’all, and ain’t goin’ nowhere.

OT, to BillJackson2, hope you are making it through all that rain from the side swipe of Barry.

Dww! New favorite story line

Hamilton blacked out!

I just heard on the news that there’s a major blackout in NYC that’s affecting some Broadway plays including Hamilton. One of my cousins lives in the Upper West Side which is also affected. I haven’t been able to get in touch with him. I hope he was home or somewhere safe and that all residents and businesses are soon back in the light!

. . . FYI! Enjoy! :)

Georgia Dunn – Breaking Cat NewsIn a strange coincidence, tonight I happen to be painting strips about a power outage at the Big Pink House! I’m watching news coverage of the New York City outage and thinking of family and friends there. To all our readers affected by this, you are in my thoughts and I hope power is restored swiftly! Here are a few sneak peeks while I paint… It’s very surreal to be working on this tonight! Life has many odd coincidences!

Just want to thank Georgia for the wonderful Hamilton parody! It was so much fun and it actually got me to listen to some of the songs and read the synopsis. Never say comics aren’t educational!

OT: Rest of birthday.

After I buried the babygirl, we followed through on our plans for the day and went to the Museum of Flight. There’s a lot there we didn’t see—will go back for most of it—but we saw what I went there for. I have never before felt such awe in the presence of anything as I did today—I doubt I’d even have felt it at the Treasures of Tutankhamen when it was here. But today I was in the presence of mankind’s history—the Apollo 11 command module which took Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins to the moon and back in 1969. That exhibit will be here until 2nd September, and for any of you in the general Seattle area, especially if you were watching the ‘small step for a man’ as I was, I cannot urge you strongly enough.

Yes, in 2020 it’ll be back at the Smithsonian, and you can see it then and there—from about 20 or 25 feet away. Here, you’re within 5 or 6 feet. When it leaves here, it goes to some other places—if it comes to your area, if you’re any semblance of a space-nut or SF person, GO SEE IT. Relive those days in 1969 when humans first set foot off the Earth. Just…Wow. Awe-inspiring.

Then we went for a good meal, took our friend home, bought my birthday cake, and now we’re back.

…now the cats have The Woman calling The Man “Man”…

This should be obvious, but this one’s song is “Non-Stop”

Lol WE WON

#hamilton overload. I love this series of comics because I love Hamilton and this kind of gives me another reason to read these.

this comic is even better after watching the full of Hamilton

This is Hamilton, the OG lyrics are ‘Man, the man is non stop!’
