Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 16, 2022

O.T. Cindy’s name

Poor Elvis. He’s stricken.

The car is doomed, but I thought Baba Mouse lived in a barn. Do the people know this?

At first I thought that was Iggy bounding up into the Woman’s arms in panel 3, but then I saw Ora Zella, and those bouncing trail lines are definitely hers.♥

Umm… HOW much was it damaged?

I wonder how far Elvis’s mouth can droop?

OT my beloved cat Stewie’s Chest Fur has gotten matted with age. Should I be worried? he’s a grey and white cat. Lupin reminds me of him.

I just like the idea that Tommy’s Woman reguarly has to take Baba home and is just fine with the fact she destroys her car on a regular basis, while Baba is utterly proud of doing so.

We also get more smiling baby child. Good for Iggy. I’ll miss having Bea back, but it’ll be nice to settle into a regular rhythm with the main 4 and given Iggy no longer has any infections, it hopefully won’t take as long for them to be unleashed on the house. Well Ora will be unleashed, Iggy will just calmly frolic throughout the land and gentry.

I know three comments but I just wanted to once again thank you all. In some other strips I get critcisims for going on too long but ya’ll let me rant for hours as god intented.

Elvis is so sad to see her go.

Do Iggy and Ora get to stay? Or are they leaving with Tommy’s woman and Baba?

Baba, so proud of her skills!

OT:

Aww, Baba’s thumbs up!!! Squeeee!

Poor Elvis with his frown in panel 1. Love Baba’s thumb’s up in panel 4.

Has the Big Pink House already been officially bought so that the People can add all the new cats they want to?

I once took a feral cat in my car with not great results. She had shown up at my work with a bunch of others, emaciated. I scheduled them at the tnr clinic, but it was something like a 4 week wait. In the meantime she started to get very round, so I thought she was pregnant and was going to take her to a regular vet. I lured her into a cat carrier with food and we were on our way. Somehow she managed to pull the carrier door inwards and escape in my car, where she proceeded to walk all around the dashboard and along the window to the side of me. I had to turn around and drop her back at work because there was no way I was going to be able to get her back in the carrier and I didn’t want her to escape and get lost. It was dark during all of this. The next morning I went out to my car and there was a poop on the passenger side floor.

The Bookstore Woman should know not to interfere with the press.

OT: Zoom zoom zoom, we’re going to the moon!

I love seeing the trio of Women together. They are so happy and compatible.

Dad cat is unhappy his little Bea is leaving.

I love seeing Baba Mouse smile.

I looked back and Beatrix first arrived on September 26. That is nearly two months (seriously, where did November go?) in real time that was probably a weekend in comics time. In which case they will be as confused as I usually am when it skips to Christmas in a matter of seconds. Someone pointed out our tortie friend at the bottom of panel 3, I wonder if she is trying to rescue her pal or just moving. The Woman also has something of a Rosie the Riveter vibe in that panel, which I dig.

Queen: You’re My Best Friend

Ooh, you make me smile

This world has not been kind to me

Once I could hardly see

Ooh, you make me smile now, kitty

Ooh, you make me live

…….

Oh, you’re the best friends that I ever had

Ora and me have been together a long time

Now it’s like sunshine

And I want you to know

That my feelings are true

I love all of you

(Ooh) Oh, you’re my best friends!

…….

Ooh, you make me live

Ora and I’ve been wandering round (Round)

But now we have all of you

(Ooh, all of you)

In rain or shine, we have a home (home)

Yes we have a new home

(I’m happy, happy at home)

You’re my best friends!

…….

Ooh, you make me smile

I feel like this world has been cruel to me

All of you help me forgive

Ooh, you make me live and smile

With the love you have to give!

…….

Oh, you’re the first ones

When things turned out bad

I know I’ll never be lonely again

You’re my best friends

And I love you guys

I really love all of you

Oh, you’re my best friends!

…….

Ooh, you make me smile

We’ve found a new home, Ora and me!

Ooh you’re my best friends!

…….

Ooh, we both will smile

You are my best friends!

Has Ora Zella given up the idea of unleashing her wrath on anyone?

People, have you never heard of a cat carrier?

What is the collective noun for crazy cat ladies?

OT, kind’a

…she promises with a smile on her face.

It’s an accumulation of cats, otherwise known as an ac-cat-mulation.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Floofnet the Joyous: OK. I think we’ll use this piecrust dough for the sugar and cinnamon cookies.

Ora Zedd: But what about the kibble pies?

Floof: No problem. I’ll make the dough, and you’ll bake the cookies.

Puckmosis: Do you need help with the kibble filling?

Floof: Sure thing. Add just the right amount of tuna water.

Enter Apprentice Chef With Note

Floof: Puck, can you read what the note says?

Puckmosis: Yes. It looks like you can make some extra special Gratitude Pies. Fresh and Salty Water Cats have made a spectacular catch of Diem Carp.

Ora: I knew Iggy Shipwright would bring them good luck.

Ah yes, so thoughtful of Baba to leave a gift or two in Tommy woman’s car. I’m sure she loves car rides (not really).

Ora Zella is a wild little kook. Altho she is Iggy’s mate in real life, she is a female zip arounder, like Lupin, in the comic strip. Such fun.

So good to see a happy Iggy! And yes, Elvis, I sympathize.

Oh, Bea, please come back soon! I love you and miss you.

Take care, Beatrix and Baba. Hope to see you again soon.

Folks, I notice Dr. Scuttles has made some comments on his page . . .

Does this mean he’ll be coming into the story soon?

I went on Zazzle and got myself 4 BCN coffee mugs at 50% off yesterday. I’ve needed new mugs and so wanted the BCN ones. Now they are coming. I got 3 different news desk mugs and the Elvis sugar fight mug with the robber mice. I can’t wait for them to arrive. I didn’t really need that last prescription anyway.

me too Puck, dang!

This is why you get a carry cage/crate for car transport. Small to medium size dog with towels for lots of nesting. And peeing. Sure they make them for cats, but the larger small to medium dog will give her more room.

I can see it now: “The BCN Sing-a-long Hour”—just follow the bouncing kitten!

Thanks to a notification (someone like a response to a post I made four years ago), this reminder just in. Little girls are made of sugar and spice and chicken fried rice.

Oh, the smile on her face saying “And I will again!”

oh, pucky and elvis are so sad that bea’s leaving!

My screen is starting to blur.
