Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 28, 2019

I’ve done that.

Language, Woman!

And Pucky, be careful about repeating what you hear from a frustrated Person. XD;

I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who dumps hot top oven racks into the bathtub. Does the woman also melt the rubber bath mat that she forgot to remove from the tub before dropping in the lava hot rack?

There are times when that type of language may be excused.

@#*1! Happy Turkey Day to all of you who celebrate it! My husband baked two pumpkin pies and so far, no mice have nabbed them!

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia, The Man, The Toddler, The Baby, Elvis, Puck, Lupin, Goldie, Beatrix, Tommy, Sophie, Tabitha, Sir Fig, Baba, Burt, the Robber Mice, all those who comment here, and all the ships at sea!

For those who live in far away places like Russia and Australia and India, happy Thursday.

Andylit, our Clowder, and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We have much to be grateful for, and we pray that all of our friends in the Orb do as well.

And a Happy @#*1! to you all!

Luckily, we have a big enough sink (if it happens to be empty at the time) to avoid having to take it all the way to the bathroom. Ahem! Not that I’ve ever done this of course! It’s purely hypothetical.

Agnes’s comment had my father pop into my head with his usual reaction to lines like that, singing “Thum-badda-dum…TRADITION!” Than you for the memory, Georgia!

I see Elvis is keeping watch over the whole process. We know that, without him, it would be doomed.

I throw mine out onto the deck. If there are tender ears around I say “pumpkin guts!” or “hockey puck!”

I bring you greetings from Ohio, home of the Great-Niece and the Great-Nephew, who love the Random Stranger People who show up every few months, spoil them, and have a really cool van with a ramp that pops out when you open the door.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

OK, I’m not totally sure Pucky’s being totally serious here…

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia and her human and feline family, and to all the wonderful Orbsters out there! I am not rich financially but I am rich with family and friends and for that, I am very thankful!

And thank you, Alice (if I have got the right mouse) for your closing commentary.

I Imagine The Woman saying “Oh Catnabit!” And I wish I had an oven large enough to have a second rack.

Happy thanksgiving to the Orb families!

I propose that “@#*1!” be pronounced “Ah-chi!” (with “ch” substituted for * read as X as per my fading knowledge of the Greek alphabet supplemented by years of Catholic school") and sound sort of like an angry sneeze.

A happy “Ahchi!” to all today, then!

And I’m wondering why someone would preheat an oven for a turkey that takes hours. I always start out with a cold oven; it doesn’t matter with meat, ham, turkey that will roast for several hours. But then, I’m not the best cook out here…. We’re having pizza, by the way, made by the Man.

Oh, Puck! ;0)

OHMYGD I do that every @#*1! Year. :))

Puck looks so happy in panel 3, shouting a joyful expletive! LOL

Wishing everyone a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

The back of Elvis’s head!

Love the ♥ with Georgia’s signature today.

And it’s important to faithfully hand down these traditions to each new generation. Puck, make sure you teach the Guest Cat how to say “Oh, @#*1.” (or to punctuate it in the UK, “Oh, @#*1”.)

Joyous @#*1 Pucky toe beans!

One will hope that that’s not an acrylic or fibreglass bath!!

Only Puck could make a curse word seem so joyous and pleasant!!

Wishing everyone an Oh @#*1 Thanksgiving, in the spirit of Puck.

Can’t believe I’m the first to mention Pucky toebeans and an Elvis, back of his head sighting. Guess our bean and head counters are still fast asleep, which is I would like to be too. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And now to sleep…

Ha ha! That’s my kitchen right now! But all three of my cats are locked in their rooms to keep them from being underfoot! Happy (add your own traditional, salty words, here!) Thanksgiving, everyone! P.S. My traditional word is, Fish heads!

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia, her family and her clowder, and to all the orbsters celebrating today, along with their kith and kin!

Paul saw the oncologist yesterday for his MRI results; he is officially one year cancer-free. Oh, it was a frabjous and joyous day in our household, we even splurged on a bottle of wine to celebrate!!

Happy Ignore All Dietary Restrictions Day! On that note I’d like to ask our Orbsters from other countries if they too have holidays whose main purpose is to pig out.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.

My cat calls me worse things than @#1* all the time. The little furwad cusses like a sailor … can’t take him anywhere.

Somewhat surprisingly, social scientists have shown that women tend to be more profane than men.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to every one.

Pucky is so joyful! Oh, @#*1! to everyone!

Great galloping globs of gravy!!! Oh, fudge!!! Oh fudgesicles!!! Holy St. Michael and all the Saints in Heaven!!! Oh!! GADZOOKS!!!!!! My MIL says “Oh, sugarfoot!!!”

Happy Thanksgiving to all here who celebrate it today! To those that don"t, I hope you have a happy day too.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Tou won’t be seeing much of me until this evning, probably.

I’m taking some clients to the bosses for the big Feast.

our family tradition was to burn the brown and serve rolls every year! they were easy to burn with all the other stuff going on, so we always got more of them then we would need!

“Oh, FiretrUCK!!”

Happy Turkey day to those who celebrate! (Though we opted for a pork loin this year.) May we all remember and be thankful for our blessings, big and small.

And a new Thanksgiving greeting was born!

To Georgia and her Family, and to the entire Mega-Orb – Happy Thanksgiving!

One of the things I am thankful for is the wonderful community Georgia and you all have built here. Boops to everybody. :-)

If Agnes is there reporting does that mean more pies are doomed while everyone’s attention is on the oven rack?

Mom’s memorable Thanksgiving tradition was to accidentally leave out the sugar in the pumpkins pies one year.She has never lived it down!

Just thinking – wouldn’t it be cool to see a Pucky balloon in the Thanksgiving parade? Or some robber mice?

Happy Thanksgiving all – even if it’s just Thursday in your corner of the world. You are all a part of my “Things I am thankful for” list! May your homes be happy, may your lives be rich in joy, and may at least one wish come true for each of you.

Needed to vent a little here, huh, Georgia? ;)

Happy Thanksgiving to the Orb far and wide. I am extremely thankful for all of you.

Puck’s commentary reminds me of the narration in Motel of the Mysteries.

Poor Pucky! He probably thinks the Woman is saying a special Thanksgiving prayer!

Oh, Fudge Puppies!!!

Always have an aloe plant if you really cook in the kitchen.

When my MIL was a young woman with roommates just staring a professional career as a violinist and cooking her first Thanksgiving turkey she packed the dressing in so tight that the turkey exploded in the oven! She laughs about it now but at the time they could barely afford a turkey and had to try to rescue what they could in order to have anything to eat! Hope any accidents anyone in the Orb has today are happy ones!

One of the things I’m thankful for is this community of wonderful people, centered around Georgia’s wondrous creation.

I’m laughing so hard at this!!!

I am thankful today that my oven is big enough to have both racks stay in, so the stuffing and turkey can bot cook together.(No, I don’t stuff the bird, it doesn’t hold enough stuffing!!!)

Happy @#*1 to all! My holiday dinner won’t be until Sunday this year. J has been in the hospital & doesn’t get out until tomorrow, so we recheduled. Her son will be here then too.

p.s. Major Thanksgiving in the family: My nephew has just accepted a job offer that’s right up his alley, local so he won’t have to move, & will mean more money without the crazy overtime he’s been putting in for the last few years. YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

Let’s check in on the raccoons! https://www.gocomics.com/offthemark/2019/11/28?ct=v&cti=2216006

The Raccoon Gang are celebrating too!

https://www.gocomics.com/offthemark/2019/11/28

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Off to work…

PS: Stuffing is evil.

An ‘Oh, @#*1!’ to one and all!

He he he he.

And Oh @#*! to you too! Even after reading this earlier I did it too. I wasn’t content to just not move the rack, nooo; I forgot the pizza stone too…

Thanks to this comic, I removed the rack before pre-heating the oven today.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Another genuine Laugh-Out-Loud moment. Happy @#*1 to all and to all a goodnight…. wait! That’s the next holiday!

To ALL my fellow “Breaking Cat News” friends:

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Orbsters and Georgia and kin.

I’m thankful for Georgia and her cat and human families, her art and imagination. In the middle of everything that’s happened, I could come here and laugh and be amazed at her worldbuilding. It makes you look at everything (especially your own cats) a little differently.

I’m thankful for everyone in The Mega-Orb, and to Shaunmunn for naming it and being her dear self. You guys saw Foxy and me through in every way. You did everything you could for Jasper who now waits for me (probably up a tree) near the Rainbow Bridge. With all my heart I remember and look ahead.

You want to say something, Foxy?

Foxy: Zzzz.

OK. no comment except this: Today, I’ve twice started a comment, nearly finished it, when inexplicably the screen jumped back to the initial one you get when you address the URL. You know, you have to click on the cartoon to see it all. I SWEAR TO CAT I DIDN’T TOUCH OR CLICK ON ANYTHING! Sometimes “GoComics” is touchy. I’ll just read the rest of the comments, thank you, so frustrating!

I’ve had problems commenting today too, so I’ll just try again tomorrow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GEORGIA!

Agnes on the job!

Just what was Elvis doing in the bathroom?

The woman needs a couple of trivets for air cooling or an empty sink. :-) The rack is only 350 degrees or so.

I know this is a bit repetitive after all of the foregoing posts, but I feel so blessed and am so thankful for finding BCN, for Shaunmunn, the Orb, and all those who post here. Prayers for all those who need them, Happy Thanksgiving for all who are celebrating, and Happy Thursday to everyone else! (Still wish we could use emojis).PS: cooked yesterday because my son was off work then and is working today. Cats checked out the oven every 15 minutes to see if the turkey was done yet. Everyone enjoyed turkey and purrs.

BWAHAHAHA!!

Hmmmm, a two word phrase beginning in oh an ending in a censored four letter swear word. I wonder what it could be. Does it end in t, k, or n. That face looks like t or k.

OT – I get one ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ email every year. It’s from a pal who lives on the Portuguese island of Madeira—he’s a native, not an expat.

Happy Thanksgiving to all y’all!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate today, and Happy Thursday to everyone else.

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” – Kristin Armstrong

Wishing everyone Puck loads of love and @#*1 loads of peace and joy now and always!

Well, let me try again. Just wanted to say that I’m so very thankful for the Orb, I love you all and love to read your stories and comments. They help me to navigate through my own difficulties, and I hope that my writings bring something to y’all too. Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thursday, and Happy @#*1 to all!

I take it noone else has left scorch marks in the bottom of their bathtubs?

Well for me it’s offical. Sitting here watching Miracle on 34th Street (the Natalie Wood and Edmund Gwenn version, in black and white of course; up to the point where the postal employees decide to send the leters to the court house) and just finished listening to Nat King Cole sing The Christmas Song. It’s offically the Christmas Season here.

Home from a long day at work, reading this with a smile…but…Puck, when one makes the same error year after year, y’know what’s really not helpful? Telling them after the mistake! (jk, I’m sure you tried, she just thought you were hopping for turkey treats!)

Have we set a new record? 494 comments as of just now. Yikes!

Little pitchers have big ears!!

502 comments here (before mine)?? I know this strip is popular, but that has to be a record.

Regarding the strip, gotta watch out for those troublesome oven racks …

Happy Give-Thanksing!

The Woman is steamed.

I usually put it on top of the stove to cool.

Here in Florida, it is often putting the “too frozen” turkey into the hot oil and “voila” nasty fireworks for anyone near the turkey boil. Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!

Lol! That was hilarious!!!

We have ceramic tile floors so I just dumped my blazing lava hot rack next to the stove

Now, what curse word did she say? The S word? The F word? Who knows!

thats cute

Great strip today. Funny as heck.

So THAT’s how I got those chips in the bottom of my tub. Previous owner popped the porceline with a hot rack !

My son leaves my cast iron in the oven and I forget everytime.

Such a beautiful observation!
