Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 17, 2024

And, knowing Tommy, that’s exactly what he’s doing!

Even Natasha’s cactus needles are drooping. That’s real sadness!

I’m warming up to Tommy as he warms up the perch…

Everyone is so sad. I hope the tippy-top is comforting for Tommy. But they all need deep, warm cuddles right now.

OZ looks devastated. So glad she has Puck to cling to. And Iggy looks very sad as well. Poor kids. They are probably reliving their not-so-distant foray into the great outdoors.

Cheer up, guys! You were found and look where you ended up. With a loving family. Sophie will get returned to her loving family soon! Don’t give up hope!

We almost actually believe that’s your sole reason for being up there, Tommy.

We never had any success with those cat towers. The cats would check it out for a few minutes and then ignore it. Happened twice with different cats before we gave up.

No. He’s not okay. But he does a very good job of hiding it.

Seeing Ora Zella subdued is sobering.

Everyone is so sad.

Back, onion ninjas!

When opportunity knocks, Tommy is going to answer.

That’s the spirit, Tommy.

For Georgia: Was this a real-life event? Did someone actually find one of the cats out in the open and take him/her home with them?

Well it’s all yours now Tommy. Now that that selfish cat is gone. You is has to thanks them Alf aliens for that. But be carefuls now. Them steenky cat eating aliens may comes back for you too, plumpy one.

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fells down in torrents—except at occasional intervals, and the moving of a UFO is wakes up the woods, rattling along the treetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps in the caves that is struggles against the darkness and helpless cries of cats is fills the woods.

There stoods a old shack amidst them woods, the secret hideout of Alf aliens, which is appears to swallow the UFO inside the big secret hideout built inside by them steenky sneaky aliens. Inside the secret lair of steenky Alf aliens, down in basement is captured many cats they is abducts to be foods for their secret intergalactic meeting on earth.

Them pesky aliens very sneaky and steenky, of course, there aint no match for theirs steenkyness or sneakyness as they is goes undetected everywhere on the planet. But until now that is. For they not knows that amongst thems there is a mole. Yes. A MOLE.

Will them steenky sneaky aliens eats cat kebabs? Will them woodlands creatures be able to stops them and saves them hapless cats and beats them steenky aliens so bad they is never comes back? Or is all the woods doomed? Stays tuned for the next exciteeng episode of…The Strange Curious Case Of Missing Cats.

Did anyone else think it sounded ominous when Goldie says there is no sign of Sophie “in town?”

It’s time to expand the search. Here is where Thorn and Chitter and Chatter come in. And pretty soon Jules will be here.

Careful Tommy. Don’t move too quickly while on the tippy top spot.

Bring on the aerial surveillance. Send the chickadees out to look for the car.

OT:

I hope she’s not already orbiting Epsilon Eridani.

I do hope Sophie is watching BCN from wherever she is, and she realizes how much she is loved.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile (Classic Edition)

At the Cosmos Nursery

Thomios: Hi, Trev. We’re holding a Bon Voyage banquet in honor of the Japanese Delegation, and were wondering if the pizza trees were in bloom.

Trevor-Hotep: You’re in luck. The thin crust pizzas are ready for harvest, and I think some of the deep dish flowers are ready for picking as well. Of course, the cracker crust pizzas are always available.

Puckmosis: Great! Sue Chef is preparing toppings for us. Do you have any sauce plants to go with it?

Trevor-Hotep: Yep. There are tomato ready for picking, and some pesky pesto plants as well.

Beatrixia: Those pesto plants do have a bit of an attitude, don’t they?

Thomios: We have the makings of a great banquet. You can come, can’t you, Trev?

Trevor-Hotep: Wouldn’t miss it.

Puckmosis: Alright, let’s get picking!

Sometime Later

Beatrixia: I think I heard giggling in the background, but it sounded like more than four voices.

Puckmosis: I think the Procurers are introducing Nezumi-San to the best procurement places around.

I have lost the fight with the, Onion Ninjas…can’t see my computer screen…you win this round, for now!

Good Boy! I am hoping the kidnappers willtake Sofie to the vet for her eyes and he will find the micro chip!

OT: cardinal nest

Oh, sadness and worry abounds!

Oh, that second panel. My heart. It’s a good thing we’ve been promised a happy resolution!

I make sure to “Like” this strip every day and look at the strip’s counts, but do not have the “Like,” “Save to Favorites,” “Reader Count,” etc. buttons beside the comic strip today! Anyone else missing theirs?

If it weren’t for Tommy, this would be a very hopeless one. Nice to see Puck and Lupin comforting the kittens.

I’ve been holdin’ out so long

I’ve been sleepin’ all alone

Lord, I miss you

I’ve been hanging on the perch

My life’s in such a lurch

I want to kiss you sometime

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Well, I’ve been haunted in my sleep

You’ve been starrin’ in my dreams

Lord, I miss you, child

I’ve been waitin’ in the hall

Been waitin’ on your call

Still I miss you

There are some friends of mine that say

“Hey, what’s the matter, man?

We’re gonna come around at twelve

With some Siamese Cats that’s just dyin’ to meet you

We’re gonna bring a case of cat nip

Hey, let’s go mess and fool around

You know, like we used to"

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah

Oh everybody waits so long

Oh baby, why you wait so long?

Won’t you come on, come on

I’ve been searching in the Park

Looking’ after dark

People think I’m crazy

Stumbling on my feet

Shuffling through the street

Asking everyone I meet, “Have you seen my Sophie?"

Sometimes I want to say to, to myself

Sometimes I say

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I won’t miss you, child

I guess I’m lying to myself

It’s just you and no one else

Lord, I won’t miss you, child

You’ve just been blottin’ out my mind

Foolin’ on my time

No, I won’t miss you, baby, yeah

Lord, I miss you child

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah

Lord, I miss you, child

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah

Lord, I miss you, child

Aah aah aah aah aah

Aah aah aah aah aah

OT: Broken People News, cont…

It is now, officially, time to move the search to Out Of Town…

Re the ‘reCAPTCHA’ – it behaves differently for me each day.

Some days it never interferes with my logging in.

Some days it rejects the attempt, but all I have to do is check the box.

Still other times it requires me to select the images before accepting the login.

WEIRD!!!

Time to send in air recon (Thorn, Chitter and Chatter, Jules) and the LRRPs (the raccoons, opossums, moles, squirrels, and chipmunks).

Don’t give up on dear Sophie

Don’t make the day seem night

The future will be all right

Its told to us by Georgia

Painted day by day

We must obey

David Soul Don’t Give Up

Bless your sweet heart, Tommy. She would be happy to know that.

Slightly OT: Birds.

We need a turning point. Let the arc commence bending.

O.T. — Here we go again

the “new tower” strips begin on Jan 10, 2022. Unfortunately, it’s the day we lost Lupin, one of the worst days in BCN history. there are 2 pts to Georgia’s post about a third or halfway down. God bless you Lupin! and i can’t stop crying again.

OT: SPCA New Zealand Pets of the Year competition & Troublicious

Even Natasha’s needles are drooping!
