Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 15, 2024

Oh, no! The search party does not look successful!

I don’t like the look on their faces. We all need something positive to happen. And soon!

Oh, dear, that can’t be good… even Baba is downcast

Beatrix! We need your mad social media skillz more than ever!

Georgia please do not let her stay lost too long. She needs her meds. The couple that took pity on her don’t realize that they did not help in the right way. They should have called the local humane society and vets for any reports of lost cats.

I hope we see Sophie next week. It would be helpful to know that she is doing her Sophie thing and hiding under a very heavy piece of furniture. Hopefully, her lack of eye meds won’t hinder her attempts to escape.

Please do not approach! TOO LATE! Already been approached!

At least it’s a good picture. Looks just like her.

OT

Autumn must be coming early, as I watch their faces fall…

A hedgehanger until Monday!

The search party is returning, empty handed and downtrodden.

Why do I have the feeling this will not end soon? Or easily? The discouraged looks on those faces of the search party says it all.

They look like they’ve been kicked in the stomach. :(

They’re making me sad.

It takes a lot to get Baba down. Looking forward to the next report.

What?! I have to fight the, Onion Ninjas, until Monday?!

OT, need Orb support

Wow, the rescue party does look down. They remind me of Commander Shelby, Worf, Data and Dr Crusher returning from the Borg ship without rescuing Captain Picard at the end of Part 1 of Star Trek TNG “The Best of Both Worlds”, one of the best episodes ever, not just in the Star Trek universe (right up the with TOS “City on the Edge of Forever.”) but also for best all time TV cliffhangers ever.

Darn! She needs Eye Medicine? That is not good!!

Looks like they has no clue. This can obveeously means only one theeng. Just what the aliens astronut theorists was always suspected. IT WAS ALIENS.

Meanwhile in a secret hideout in the woods, Alf aliens is busy preparing for dinner. And guess what be on menu. It a SophiestiCated gourmet dish. Does anyone hears if a tree is falls in the woods? Or if a cat is meows helplessly in the woods? Can anyone is saves the catsel in distress? Or is cat doomed to be delicate cat delicacy in Alf dinner? Not forgets to sees the next amewsing episode of….BCN! Same cat time. Same cat channel.

Very nice missing poster. It looks like we will end the week and possibly start next week on a downer. Hopefully just a bump in the road.

Where are Tabitha and Sir Fig? Since they are on the top floor, they should have a better vantage point to be on the lookout.

Oh My Cat. I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee and breakfast … and when I saw the “needs her eye meds” on the poster, had trouble swallowing. Then, the look on the search party’s faces … no longer feeling hungry!

Okay, I admit it. I called the phone number on the missing poster. 401 is a Rhode Island area code. Unfortunately, nobody answered.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile (Classic Edition)

Thomios: We’re on our way to the Cosmos Nursery. We should be back in time for dinner. My assistant Sue Chef will be making toppings.

Shisho-San: I would like to help as well. I brought some scrolls from the 641.8248 section in the No Longer Hidden Library.

Sue Chef: That would be lovely.

Shisho-San: Anyone know where Ambassador Katsu-San is?

Thomios: I believe he is in the Palace Library with Elvis-Anum. He did say he had some things he wanted to talk about with the Royal Scribe.

Shisho-San: Then it must be something very serious and important.

At the Palace Library

Katsu-San: Thank you for teaching me how to play Senat. Now how about I teach you Shogi?

Elvis-Anum: You’re on. Then it’s on to Hounds and Jackals.

The search party looks just crushed. The poster is good. I’m with Puck, just screaming in frustration, “Scan! The! Chip!!!!”

They are all so sad! I hope the posters help!

I feel as dejected as the search party looks.

Come on guys!! Good news please!!

Isn’t she lovely

Isn’t she wonderful

Isn’t she precious

Such a sight to behold

I never thought that she would be

Taken from home, poor sweet Sophie

But isn’t she lovely, and so loved

- Stevie Wonder – Isn’t She Lovely

John Denver: Looking for Space

On the road from the Big Pink House

We’re trying to find our lost friend

When we think we have found a clue

It seems we are at a standstill

But we keep trying and we always will!

…….

We’re looking for our friend

And to bring her back home

Our sweet, sweet friend

We know she must be somewhere

We need the help of our wild friends

We know that we must not despair!

…….

Not alone, Sophie please know that

We will not give up on you

You have all your friends now

And your friends in the wild

We won’t give up until you’re found!

…….

We’re looking for our friend

And to bring her back home

Our sweet, sweet friend

We know she must be somewhere

We need the help of our wild friends

We know that we must not despair!

:( The searchers look very sad.

OT: Breaking H00min News continues (repost from last night)

The search party does not look hopeful. Maybe get some help from Old Mags

Yeah, and it looks like they don’t have good news to share. :(

If a certain raccoon is not going to physically rescue her by breaking the screen on the window in which she’s sitting, maybe that same certain raccoon will tear a Lost Cat poster off a telephone pole and deposit it at doorstep of the house of the captors.

My guess is that they may have spotted the car, and next week a team of searchers & rescuers will be on the job.

Dear Obsters Can someone direct me to the story that resulted in “Always Wear the Donut”? I would be so grateful.

Almost heaven, Big Pink House

All my friends there, even Baba mouse,

Life is fine there, fine as it can be

Tommy’s waiting, waiting there for me

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Big Pink House

Come friends, take me home Country roads

All my memories, gather round there

Good old Tommy, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

I miss my new window, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Big Pink House

Come friends, take me home Country roads

I hear their voices in the morning hour they calls me

Radio reminds me of my home far away

Wandering down the road I get a feeling

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Big Pink House

Come friends, take me home Country roads

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

Big Pink House

Come friends, take me home Country roads

Take me home, down country roads

Take me home, down country roads

I feel like Georgia is learning what my mom was told by her editor when she tried to put a scene with a child in peril in one of her romance novels. Children in peril make for great drama but many parents just won’t read such stories because it’s not fun for them, even as fiction. It doesn’t matter how good the story is if the reader stops reading. Seems like among the readers of BCN the same goes for cats in peril.

I have a high tolerance for catharsis and peril myself, but much sympathy to those who don’t.

CURSE YOU ELDERLY CATNAPPING COUPLE

From the look of things, they had no luck finding her. This does not bode well.

Oh dear, Sophie has meds to take! That makes the catnapping even worse!

I had a small (very small) taste of lost cat this morning. The tortie princess was nowhere to be seen, and was not coming when called! I quickly went absolutely frantic, sobbing, hollering her name, opening cabinets all over the place (she likes to look for Narnia). I even looked outside.

The first place I looked for her was the black futon; she blends in so well on it. After several hour-long minutes of search, I glanced at the futon again. And there she was, in loaf position, watching the entertainment of frantic human.

Cats! (And then I picked her up and just hugged her for about a minute. Such relief!)

Natasha, in her cactus needle coat, appears to be rushing somewhere. Not sure what she is carrying. Her needle sword?

It’s looks bad… I think the search party was unsuccessful :(

what does Natasha (in the cool needle jacket) have in her hand? a magnifying glass looking for clues??? i’ve tried enlarging but still can’t make it out.
