Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 16, 2023

INTRUDER ALERT!!!

Elvis is on the case, and Puck is doing that cat is the weight of the earth thing on her spine. I too know how this supernatural cat power feels! OUCH!

I love it when we get to see the cats in their jammies!

It is usually an honour not an punishment but cats being cats it probably both things at rhe same time

That looks like the sort of intruder that might sit on cats!

Poofy Lupin tail! Red Alert!

I love that the Intruder’s sleep mask is adorned with closed eyes, lol!

Puck the sacrifice. Launching the first attack to test the waters…

Intruders! They’re doomed!

I remember this arc. I expect to see one of my favorite BCN lines in the next couple days.

If you really want her to move, the best place to stand is on the bladder.

How brave of Puck to hold her down, while the cat police, investigate!

Intruders? There only one thing to does. Attaaaaacks!

All those extra rooms and the guest has to sleep on the couch!

It’s the lady who sits on cats! RUN!

Get to work on the woman who sits on cats!

All my cats have to do to get me to move is stomp on a tender point. With my fibro, most of me is a tender point. On the rare occasions that they need a catsitter here, they know our cousins, and they know the smell of their MaineCoon girls. Alas, we don’t have any cats that knew the girls as Nimitz, Mac, Morrie, and Honor went to RB to wait for us.

Monroe sits on Dad’s face to get him to play or pet him. Funny kitten.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Ziggy Starcross: This is the best present ever, guys. Thanks so much.

Iggy Shipwright: You’re welcome. Consider it a labour of love.

Ziggy: Not only that, it was a British labour of love.

Ora Z: Are you going to smash it?

Ziggy: No. We’ll save that for drums and percussion.

Iron Glove: Now that I’ve made the tools for creating a guitar, it would be a shame to have them go to waste.

Iggy: They don’t have to. Mandy and Lynn, would you like to set up a workshop here in Egypt?

Mandy: I think would like to do that. What do you say, Lynn?

Lynn: Not a bad idea. We’re close to shipping and transport. And we have a great supply of strings thanks to Ari and her spider friends.

Mandy: The main question is: How do we maintain a supply of wood? It’s heavy for our Procurers to lift. And remember rule number one of procurement: Never take more than you can lift.

Agnes-Ata: There are other branches of the Ancient and Accepted Order of Procurers that can help. But we’ll never tell who..0

People who aren’t owned by cats always have a difficult time when they visit people who cats own. They don’t understand that there isn’t any space where cats can’t go. They don’t understand Zoomies. And they don’t understand that two a.m. is a human concept that cats are not required to understand.

Pity the errant traveler who is looking for rest in a cat’s home. Their needs are doomed.

I honestly have been a guest sleeping on a couch, and awoke to a cat on my chest.

With the new rooms in the BPH, why isn’t there a guest room. I have never slept on a friends’ couch nor has anyone ever slept on mine. And, there’s a thing call HOTEL.

It was 5am and I awoke with a heavy pressure on my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack.

No, it was the 16# cat sitting on my chest.

It seems Lupin crush on the intruder hasn’t started yet at this point. I am waiting to see the strips as they come out this week and not going back and seeing what is coming up so I don’t remember if it started with these strips or not. If this storyline is the one I think it is it had bonus material that wasn’t in the original web only version of the strip.

Albert like to walk up my chest and stand with his front paws on my throat while purring in my face. 18 pounds of feline crushing my windpipe….

Good job Puck! First rule of defense: Sit on the intruder.

our little Ester was barely six pounds….but she could find that spot on the base of my ribs… with her front paw, in the middle of the night that made her feel like a fifty pound anvil on my chest…

Pin her down before she steals the cutlery!

Ah, the saga of the Intruder. Interesting choice for our set of reruns, but I am pleased to see it. Cats, to battle stations!

Puck’s new wrestling handle: “Crusher.”

OT: In-bread cat at TK! etc.

Dogs can usually tell that an intruder is family by the scent. Cats watch our body language to make that connection, but these guys are sadly clueless. So much for their news reporting skills.

Way to go, Puck! The intruder won’t be able to escape now.

Rules of our house: 1) The only ashtray is that big green space in front of the house. 2) Don’t close the bathroom door all the way or you won’t get out. 3) DO close your bedroom door all the way or you WILL have a dachshund on your chest.

I hope Georgia is on vacation and not in need of more time for recovery. Either way, get well and enjoy. This is fun arc.

I’ve always loved this one. The Intruder is a Friend to Cats. Out cats call them invaders.

Lupin’s sweetheart has returned. (ﾐゝᆽ╹ﾐ)

Ow, Puck, Ow! I know how painful it can be when the cat is using 4 feet! 3 feet, ouch!

It’s the “guest” BUT I THINK IT IS AND INTRUDER INTRUDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Wish my furry kids would do that. Like how she’s looking out of the mask, almost like she can hear them talking. And PPPOOOFFFYYYY TAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good News from Georgia – She’s baaack! “I missed this so very much!! I got back to work last week, writing my first week of strips since the beginning of April! I waited a week to post anything about it here in case I ran into any discomfort or complications and had to take more time. But thankfully, aside from a bit of expected tightness, so far so good! Best of all, no pain!The first week of new dailies will run the week of 05/29! And the first new Sunday will be 06/25! And pretty soon after we’re going to be jumping into a story that I hope you’ll enjoy, which should bring us through the summer! (I’m hoping to have a fun illustration to tease it soon, hand-permitting!)I’ve missed writing stories and jokes for you SO. MUCH! I’m so happy to be back at it, and I’m grateful for how supportive and kind everyone has been during this. I’m happy folks have been enjoying the re-runs, those have been fun for me to read as well! It’s been so long, there are a lot of little moments I forgot!Happy Tuesday!! New broadcast coming soon!”

Manipulating gravity…it’s what cats do

Okay. This has been on most of the may comics with these repeats. What’s going on? Are we celebrating something?
