Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 25, 2023

Hey, looky there! Elvis can blush!

Well, at least so far, Iggy doesn’t, um, inform the household of his “achievement” like a certain sock hunter that we know.

Take it from no lesser authority than the Cheshire Cat, Iggy: “We’re all mad here!”

I hope Elvis did not get whiplash from his sudden change of belief about aliens.

I love Ora Zs’ ok hon. snark from a tiny, fierce lil kitty. and Lupin mentoring Iggy. how sweet.

Why were they so mysterious? Many cats like gathering stuff. This one is simply organized.

Ice cream is nicer than aliens.

“OK, hon” sounds like the new “OK, Boomer.”

Iggy’s blush is SO cute! What a little sweetie.

And everyone believes Elvis…

So if there is no such thing as aliens, then who the &%÷$ is responsible for my enormous phone bill? (Ya know: the “phone home” thing)

Elvis postulated aliens as an explanation. He didn’t actually say he believed in them.

And be a bit more respectful of your elders, young OZ.

Miss Kitty was my sock collector. I always pair up my socks, fold them together, then and then turn the cuff over to form a cushion shaped ball. If I would forget to close my sock drawer, Miss Kitty would start carrying balls of socks in her mouth like a mother cat carrying a kitten. She would then deposit them next to me and got after he next one. One day I left the sock drawer open then went to school.When I came home, all my socks were lined up on the floor in front of the couch. She’s been gone for 30 years now, and I still miss my sassy Tuxie girl!

Not very pom pompous hobby eh, Iggy.

Maybe get less stinky hobby eh, Lupin. One that not socks.

You got a pen-chant for that, Puck. Goes for it.

Not tries to plant evidence now, Goldie you sneaky detective you.

And in tonight’s show, Elvis and Ore investigate whether ice creams was really brought to earth by ancient outer space extraterrestrials from a distant cold planet.

OT for LOTR fans

Ora believes you, Elvis. {giggle}

It’s fun to hear what they are into.

What is wrong with us? Two days of Lupin toe beans and no squees???

Love that they’re all going out of their way to comfort Iggy and make him feel part of the group.

I like to watch cat videos. Just keeping up with the theme of “I like to….”

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Artisans’ Studio

Maat-Tilda: Adobe Style, what a nice surprise!

Adobe Style: I was visiting the Cosmo Nursery and heard you had been there, too. I must have just missed you.

Sophititi: Tillie and I are going to experiment with Pom Pom Plant pollen.

Adobe Style: Oh, that sounds interesting.

Tillie: We just might have enough for you to work with.

Soph: I think we have a lot more than we started out with.

Tillie: I wonder where it came from.

The Royal Procurers: We’ll never tell!

Agnes-Ata: But we’ll hint. We’ve averted a white cat disaster!

aw! ig’s blushing! such a lil cutie!

Buddy is my sock hunter. Kiki just sleeps.

None of our cats collect things. However, Holmes does like to knock Marie’s art supplies off her art table.

Speaking of Holmes, guess who got locked in the closet all day yesterday, and it wasn’t by me? Marie closed the little orange tornado in the bedroom closet and left for work. I feel vindicated, and I can move back home now. Not that I minded hiding out in the bush, but Wallabies smell funny when they are damp.

P.S. Robin, that was me at Carrara’s Market, picking over the finger limes.

My Tigger likes to rescue stray socks, and likes to loudly meow to let me know!

People can have more than one quirk, Goldie. Since Iggy’s pom pom activity also seems to be nocturnal, it would be interesting to see a convergence of these habits. Honestly, more of Lupin the mighty hunter would also work.

Smudge and the Marshmallow Mouse collect yarn from finished projects and trail it around the house. Smudge also likes to help with my knitting.

Ora Zella’s all ready for “Hon Fest”!

Moose isn’t a collector of anything. Blackjack doesn’t collect anything either, but he does feel the need to sit on or in anything. My fabric that I work on is a favorite. I keep a small piece just for him so my quilts don’t have kitty hair on them.Tiny boxes? His 14 pound body is all over those.

OOOHHH, so cute the blushing kitty!!!!! I’m glad that I don’t have sock stealers or pen batters.

Iggy’s blushing again!

I like to start my day by reading BCN. It’s the BEST!

Last summer when PK killed all the moles and lined them up next to each other at the bottom of the steps, 7 little mangled bodies like some kind of proud serial killer!

Yeah I think Iggy wins the ‘most benign eccentricity’ award in that group, paws down.

Our new cat, Holly Stein, aka “la plume” and “little floof” prefers to mine socks from the drawer.

One of our cats who has markings similar to Iggy likes to gather his mouse toys at the base of the toilet so I can sit and toss them for him to fetch while I am taking care of business.

Iggy blush AND Elvis blush! ❤️

The little bit (calico foundling, ancestry unknown) likes to jump on my back whenever I lean over even the least bit out of vertical.

The other day one of my kids came over. She reached up to get something out of an overhead cabinet – so obviously not leaning over at all! – and the little bit jumped onto the small of her back and somehow sat there on the top of my kid’s rump!

Everyone’s hobbies are so wholesome!

Cats are very particular about the brand of destruction they favor.

If Ora’s O.K. Hon was a take on OK Boomer…please…just don’t.

It’s actually my dog who collects sock bundles as puppies. I hate taking them away from her, but she has plenty of other toys who make up her “litter.”. My youngest kitty, Susanna, exists just to collect red dots!

Don’t lie to us, Elvis. You’ve been making poor Iggy feel real bad about his achievement by blaming it on aliens. And then trying to claim that it’s aliens who bring the mail and not the mailman even though you KNOW the mailman is more real.

If anyone’s on social media and friends with Georgia, she’s been having a rough day and could use some love. She spoke out against the guy who writes “Dilbert” (who has once again been a rac!st butthat in public) and caught a lot of cr*p thrown her way for it. Please let her know the Orb loves her and she does good work!

Georgia – I don’t know what you said, but bravo to you for speaking out against hateful speech. You don’t deserve to be dumped on for that. I for one am grateful for you, and your wonderful creativity and compassion for people and animals.

The Orb is the way it is because of YOU!

Georgia, we love you and we appreciate your standing up for good in the world. We Stand With Georgia! xoxo

This may be old news to some, but this came up on Amazon today:

“Everything’s Coming Up Beatrix!: A Breaking Cat News Adventure (Volume 6) Paperback – September 5, 2023”

Preorders accepted now.

My mother tell me “ crazy cats can passing gas smells badly !”

Georgia, thank you for making a stand. We all love you!

I stopped reading Dilbert when he went over to the side that says that America isn’t great.

Oh, I missed this earlier! The Dilbert cartoonist is entitled to his own opinions – even if I think he’s a jerk for having them – but to attack people who disagree with you is no class at all, much less, humanity. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all!”

Much love to you, Georgia!
