Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 21, 2018

Agnes, how dare you indulge in Our IX Lives without the others!

Oh, and welcome back, I guess. (sneaks over to watch with her)

Baba Mouse to the rescue!

YAY! Agnes is safe, and Baba is in the house! Put on your listening ears, Alice. I sense a lecture coming on!

It looks like the kibble cookies in panel 3.

Christmas is saved thanks to Baba Mouse! Hooray!

I am unfamiliar with this green cat. How did Baba get in there, anyway?

Love Violet’s casual “Hey Baba”!

Snowball Taggert sighting in panel 3! He’s the richest, most powerful cat in town….but could he also be doomed? Tune in tomorrow….like litter in the kitty box….so are the days of Our IX Lives!

I thing Agnes is saying SHHH! in panel 4.

Is it just me, or could Baba Mouse be Krampus if she so desired

Listen well to Baba Mouse, Robber Mice! She is older than dirt and as wise as King Solomon!

And Kit Chase, you can have my heart anyday! {{{{swoon}}}}

Any love affair between Kit and Angora is obviously doomed.

BABA MOUSE!!!! The sage and refreshingly sardonic cat whose lived all her nine lives with grace and dignity

And now the wise shows herself

Keeping a daily vigil for SkyKey. Hope you’re OK buddy! (((((((((huge engulfing bear hugs, orb bumps, boops and purrs going your way))))))))))

Georgia didn’t post it until late, but apparently yesterday was Elvis’s “gotcha day.”

Um, I know you had eyes only for your sister but how did you miss the giant Cat in the room?

Georgia Dunn – Breaking Cat News FB post this a.m. about Elvis.Ten years ago today I adopted this handsome gentleman! My sister and I braved a snowstorm to drive up from Hope Valley, RI to Deerfield, MA. He was the kitten in his litter who “kept hiding and biting people”, but when I picked him up, he touched my face with his tiny paw, sighed, and fell asleep in my arms. “Oh, this is the one,” I whispered to Grace, and she agreed. (This is a hilarious story in our family now, as she vouches for me that he really was so sweet in that moment, haha!) He walked out of the carrier and into my apartment like he owned the place—and he still does. He’s a brilliant animal, follows me closely all day, listens and heeds most commands, obeys my whistles and snaps. He is terrible to company and terrific to us. Elvis is one in a million, and my life would not be the same without my constant guardian and companion. I love him so much! ❤️

Off topic but it was our turn for a wind storm today (well it’s the third one in just over a week but definitely the worst one) that caused a fair bit of damage – lots of trees down, roads blocked, houses damaged and electricity out. My Dad still went down to White Rock beach for his daily walk and sent this picture of the damaged pier:

A bunch of nearby boats broke loose from their moorings and were smashed into the pier taking out a section of it. One fellow got stuck on the wrong end and had to be rescued by a coast guard helicopter. Been wild and woolly in the PNW this month

Love Agnes shaking her little paw at her sister in panel 4.

Baba toe beans. How does she knit without opposable thumbs? Oh, right. Cartoon magic. ;)

Are Kit and Angora “walking through a Winter Wonderland” snowstorm?

Georgia is so expressive with cat ears! Look at how Angora’s little right ear is turned back just a little, as if she can hardly believe Kit said that.

Our IX Lives…So is that Hallmark Channel or Animal Planet?

There’s Agnes’s little mask beside her on the sofa.

Happy gotcha day Elvis!

Good morning, orbsters and orbabies! Yay! A glimpse of Our IX Lives! And Baba Mouse – I just love that old girl and wish we saw more of her.

Skykey, if you’re out there, please check in.

On another note, after swearing on a stack of Holy Books that I was not sticking my nose out until the 25th, my mother-in-law asked me to bring a cheese board for Christmas dinner, AND I still have to haul Paul, kicking and screaming and moaning and groaning all the way, to the hairdresser’s to get his hair cut before Christmas/the wedding. I am displeased and disgruntled, gentle readers.

I love how Baba Mouse is always knitting.

It was the right thing to do.

Deus ex Baba Mouse is far better than deus ex machina.

Ok, I’m fairly new to this strip. Who is Baba Mouse? Why is she called Baba Mouse when she’s a cat? Where did she come from? Why would she rescue Agnes?

We ended up with another rescue kitten from the colony for Christmas. PJ’s littermate, Dorian, came up Monday and begged to be picked up – which she has never done in her life. She was ice cold and her nose was completely crusted from a respiratory infection. The vet said she wouldn’t have lasted the night if I had not brought her home. It’s been a struggle to get her to eat on her own – even though she’s four months old – but I think she finally turned the corner now. She ate her entire breakfast and went to the kibble bowl afterwards! Fingers crossed that we’ve got a Christmas miracle on our hands here. (She’s the runt of the litter, anyway, but she’s only about half PJ’s size.)

At last! Newbies get a glimpse of the greatest soap opera ever: Our IX Lives! And Kit Chase and Angora Taggart . . . a love story for the ages! =) [runs to put on her Kit Chase t-shirt]

I so missed this before. The kibble cookie distraction… I forgot it was Baba Mouse that fixed things. <3

Baba Mouse knows a thing or two. She’s efficient enough to have time to keep up on “Our IX Lives” too.

It’s nice to see when others are reminded of their manners. “It’s pronounced Thank You.” I love that line.

Our IX Lives, robber mice, and Baba Mouse! I love this special! :D

Watching the “Hallmouse” channel for Christmas

I don’t know Baba mouse character. Looks like a cat .

You’re welcome.

Yayyyy! I was worried.

Well, only when I exercise suspension of disbelief, but hey, that’s what its all about.

Yayyyy!

I love how Agnes is trying to shush Alice.

Not exactly on topic…

The crones will save the world

Dennis, look at “our reporters” tab where there are bios on all the characters, including “Baba Mouse” a 26-year old crone/farm kit
