Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 16, 2023

Yikes! Explain quickly! You do not want Baba Mouse looking at you like that!

Interesting, but not overly surprising, turn of events.

The nice mole is a sign, I think, that the tide is about to turn. In the meantime, check out Baba’s puffed out tail!

Puffy Baba! I’m intimidated, personally.

I love that Goldie has taken over the broadcast until the guys can get a clue.

I suspect that after the moles, including that one, chatted with the cats, some discussions took place along the lines of, “Why are we doing this?”

“I dig in peace…can you dig it?”

Dude, surprise-popping a couple of enraged mothers is a pretty risky gambit: they’re in full-smite-first-ask-questions-later-mode!

This is the mole that watched over the destruction, but didn’t appear to take part in it.

Hey, man, we all dig peace. Peace and love, is where it’s at.

The Pi-mole!

Are we about to witness a coup d’é·mole or a peaceful transition of power?

Goldie blew it when she said “We should respect that”. It hints that she knows. And at least one mole has checked her movements and come to the correct conclusion.

Where did this peacenik mole come from? Just as Mag and Baba are about to plot their removal.

The Plot thickens!

That was a surprise!

Bro just dug threw who knows how many layers of building foundation

Given the age of the barn, it may have a packed dirt floor.

I love how Baba has put up a protective paw, over the kits and given a mighty tail, FLOOF!

Did Baba just pop her babushka?

It’s hard to tell, but I think her head is a bit puffed out, too.

Oh my, a Baba Poof! She means business!

Lol, a literal mole in the mole hierarchy!

Talk about your lightning reflexes… Baba was behind Mag in the third panel!!!

I love how the three raccoon kits we can see rush immediately to their grandMag.

Why do I have the line from Star Trekkin’ running through my head? “We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill.We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, men.” This mole doesn’t know the song (I hope), so he’s likely truthful.

Why that pesky pestilencial underground dwelling low lifes. Now they is begins to poking up their steenky snouts everywhere.

Ironically the newscast clearly already lead the moles here. or Mag did, so goldie’s fears were well founded.. simply too late. Though bandana mole may be able to help them stop this mole madness.

Whose house are they in? I am a bit confused.

Friends of Distinction: Grazing in the Grass

Do not be afraid: I dig in peace (digging through the grass very fast, oh friends can you dig it?)

Taking time away from the battle of the fields (digging through the grass very fast, oh friends can you dig it?)

There are too many crazy things going on in the fields right now (digging through the grass very fast, oh friends can you dig it?)

Moles out there taking everything in sight (digging through the grass very fast, oh friends can you dig it?)

The raccoons hiding in the woods (digging through the grass very fast, oh friends can you dig it?)

All of this going on bodes nothing good (digging through the grass very fast, oh friends can you dig it?)

What we are doing is unclear, I can see it

Montague’s plan is unreal, I can feel it

And it’s time to get real, get real get real!

…….

I’ve been thinking, you’ve been thinking, we’ve been thinking, they’ve been thinking

I don’t dig this, neither do you!

I’ve been thinking, you’ve been thinking, we’ve been thinking, they’ve been thinking

Let’s not dig this, get thinking!

We have a rare Baba tail poof

I am hoping that the wise opossums will negotiate a peace.

I think we all dig peace :) it’s getting he ptb to embrace it that is hard. (something I think our mole friend is about to prove)

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Palace

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: So you would like to go to afar to see the renowned librarian Beaver Lee Cleary.

Beatrixia: That is so, Your Majesty. We have uncovered scrolls from many renowned authors that I believe would capture her interest.

Floofnet the Joyous: And I would like to stop on the way to deliver supplies to my culinary school.

The Queen: Let it be so. And I believe it is time to pay a visit to my fellow Queen, Mags.

Floof: Hopefully we will find the spice merchants along the way.

Bea: Just be careful if you want to buy more than one.

The Queen: Very well. Elvis-Anum, you will write a letter to Queen Mags announcing our wish to visit. See to it that Kat-Mandu receives it today.

Elvis: I’ll get started right away.

Bea: You do know Kat-Mandu is the Papyrus Cat.

That mole better come to the point quickly, or Baba will send what’s left of him home in a matchbox.

The expressions in panel two are delightful. Ah, perhaps a double agent. The plot thickens!

OT: my wildland animals

Whoa!

Mag feels good, didn’t know that she would, now

She feels good, she’s back with her brood, now

So good, so good, a fine mood

Whoa!

Baba’s nice, like sugar and spice

Baba’s nice, like sugar and spice

So nice, so nice, and some ’tude

When a mole pops in the barn

We hope she won’t do them no wrong

And when she pops up in the barn

We hope Baba won’t do her no harm

She seems nice, like cute Robber mice

She seems nice, Baba’s stare’s like ice

So nice, so nice, and peaceful, too

When she visits at the farm

We hope her story don’t take long

And when she visits at the farm

We hope Baba won’t do her no harm

This feels nice, like good mole advice

This feels nice, explained in a trice

So nice, so nice, peace is overdue

Whoa!

And it feels good, as good as it could, now

It feels good, as good as it would

So good, so good, is war through?

Hey

Oh-whoo

So that’s how it goes, with a kiss from a rose

Me thinks there is a traitor in the midst. A mole, mole.

The mole mole hopefully can propose a resolution to the conflict before Baba swats him to kingdom come. If Baba looked at me like that, I’d faint!

“No one knows, and we should respect that.”

OK this time, I’m Goldie, but let’s not make that the new slogan of the newscast!

Last night when I was watching three bunnies playing in my back yard I was thinking maybe the Raccoons needed to find some zombie rabbits to help them, though i assume the zombie effects have all worn off by now. Looks like they might need to actually fight the moles though, it looks like they might have a mole on the inside.

Forgive our skepticism, Mr. Mole, as we’ve as of late not had the best of experiences with moles in general.

Don’t you hate it when an uninvited guest just pops in?

OT: Breaking TinyKittens News

When Baba ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY Happy !! … :)

I love Mag’s expression in panel 3 when holding her Princess and another kit! So sweet and peaceful.

When I first saw the “pop” I thought Iggy had gotten out somehow.

“I dig in peace!”

Clever use of wordplay there, Georgia.

Perhaps this mole is cast from a different mould …

Baba on all fours? Is this the first time we’ve seen a BCN cat on all four paws? (3am racing doesn’t count).

I know that look, too. Its the “attack/pounce warning”.

O.T.

Note to everyone (so this isn’t buried in replies) — if you want to post a link, you now have to change all periods to (space)dot(space).

That means that we have to go through a few more steps, instead of highlight, right-click, and “open link in new tab”, you highlight, copy, manually open new tab (or window), paste, and edit (space)dot(space) back into a period.

Can you dig it?

Aha! The “good” mole!

(Well, we hope.)

And it occurs to me that there’s a possibility that other moles might find the tunnel this mole made, and show up in Baba’s place. And those moles might be distinctly NOT “digging in peace”!

Hm-m-m. I suspect we are about to have a mole rebellion and this little one is here to enlist Mag and Baba to help them get rid of their despot.

And it never occurred to Baba to close the curtains?

Or at least not to gather the group in front of the TV — directly in front of the window?

Is the mole a mole for the raccoons?

I fear moles, even when they dig in peace.

Ooh, I don’t recall seeing Baba’s tail puffed before!!

Look at Baba’s poofy tail!!

I love how Baba’s arms are stretched out in front of all the raccoons, including Queen Mag.

So – Is the mole a messenger of potential peace? Or – Is the Mole a MOLE ?! … :)

TALPA ITE DOMUM!!!!

OT : Celebrate!!!!

Today is the day my new biological aorta valve is two years old!

Baba Mouse — “If you mess with them, I’m gonna mess with you.”

Am I the only one who got Hobbit vibes from this particular mole? Remember when Bilbo showed up in the “enemy” camp to offer the Arkenstone to Bard? That’s who this mole reminds me of.

Good thing he said that or else Baba would put him into next week!

Hmm…Looks like the climax coming up.

Baba’s tail is all poofy <3
