Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 24, 2025

“Also, one bear?” What (whom) could she possibly mean?

I feel seen! (Also shout-out to Gent, up there)

Congrats to Gent Bear for being named by Burt! Truly the highest honor anyone from the Orb can receive! I’m surprised Burt didn’t mention he’s been voted Hunkiest member of BCN by a majority of the Orb.

Wait, am I “people” or “wildlife?”

(Checks social/party calendar) Ah, definitely “people.”

That’s because Cat News is marginally less doom-filled than people news.

I don’t know about Bear News, though.

OMG Gent!

“Also, one bear?” – hmmm, I’m not sure if my bear with a balalaika will count… Mura doesn’t like, when I’m calling her “grey bear” =^_^"=

@Gent You’re being featured in BCN!

Well I am one of the dogs!

Gent, Ya did it!

ก็็็็็็็็็็็็็ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ ก้้้้้้้้้้้ Kudos to Gent Bear!!! ❤️❤️❤️

This is most definitely going to be a very interesting and historical arc! ☺️

It’s your beautiful day eyes Lupin!

Gent, now that you’re famous, don’t forget us ordinary folk.

Whoohoo! We have been noticed!

Yay! They are talking about us, and our favorite pikanic eating, bear!

Congratulations to our favorite bear!

I can barely contain my excitement!!!

But I’m bearing up under the pressure.

It’s nice to be appreciated. Hi, Burt.

Don’t forget about us jungle dwellers!

Who is Gent Bear?

Do not go(gent)-ly into that good night; rage, rage against the dying of the light – after Dylan Thomas.

Gent, step up and take a bow.

Yay Gent Bear! :D

By ’ People Viewers ’ , could that mean… little ol’ US ??!! … :)

Gasp!!! They can see us?

No doubt he lives in a Big Blue House.

That’s awesome – the BCN crew (and Georgia) are all knowing. Or at least, all reading. Wonder if the news crew will be musing over all the “squeeeeeeeeeing” that happens in the comments?

Many People are discovering that BCN is far better than soap operas

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Iggy: I’m going fishing with the Water Cat Brothers. Like to come along, Huy?

Huy: Love to. What fish are running right now?

Iggy: I think there are Tasty Tilapia right now.

At Freshwater and Saltwater Cats’ Boat

Iggy: Hi, guys! This is my friend Huy. He and his sisters were shipwrecked and came to us.

Fresh: I think I heard something about that. Glad we can be of help. Do you know anything about fishing?

Huy: A little. My Grandpa took me fishing a time or two.

Salty: I think you’ll do just fine.

On the Water

Huy: I think I just saw a group of hippos straight ahead!

Fresh: Don’t worry. Those are the Hippy Hippos. There’s Starshine. Good morning, Starshine!

Starshine: Peace and Love to you. How’s the fishing?

Salty: So far so good. This is our friend, Huy.

Starshine: Greetings, friend. Any friend of Fresh and Salty is a friend of mine.

Huy: Pleased to meet you.

Starshine: Happy fishing!

Willy nilly, silly ole’ Bear

OT: Third draft open letter to GC

The BCN crew looks noticeably spiffy today.

Don’t be shy now Gent. You deserve it!

Has BCN broken the 4th wall?? Or does this qualify as “meta”? Either way, way to go, Gent!

Whaaaaa!!! Miss Georgia just called US out! (I’m jealous that she named the picanic-basket stealing reader over us faithful squeeers, but whatevs…)

Not at all something I expected to see from Breaking Cat News. I am curious where this will go.

This makes me think of the time Adam@Home acknowledged all the talk about Doc’ Nuclear Coffee that was going on in its own comment section at the time. :D

Congratulations to Gent, our resident bear! How about a nice sandwich by way of a reward? My in-laws dropped off some nice cold cuts and crusty bread yesterday.

OK, who here is a mouse? ’Fess up!

Gent! Gent? Are you out there? I know it is hard to hear with your head in a pikanik basket, but take a bow!

Gent wins a SAG award…

Whoas! Does ya means… Hey Waitsaminute. Not telling me thems cats can seeing through me ingenious hooman disguise which me wearing.

Boys, you’re missing a huge opportunity here! People watch your broadcasts! People can talk to other People! Mobilize your viewers to demand they tell your People that you need nine meals a day, at least three of them bacon!

I tune in every day. I bet the bear is one of Wiley’s!

I sent all the available books to my 5 yr old niece for her birthday :) She’s excited to join the BCN neighborhood.

What if I identify as a cat?
