Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 26, 2020

Goodnight, suspense.

Noooooooo!! I waited up for John Boy to say good night?!?!

“Goodnight, David.”

“Goodnight Chet, and goodnight for NBC News.”

Baba. Mouse. Toe. Beans.

Can you see the ocean from the Widow’s Walk on the right-hand roof of the Big Pink House?

Well I hope tomorrow takes us back to that hollow tree so we finally see what she left in the hollow tree and for whom it was left!

“Good night, Elizabeth.”

Aww. I loved that book when I was little. Goodnight Moon. Goodnight old lady saying hush. Goodnight Agnes and Baba Mouse.

Whatever Baba Mouse left, this mission has put the pink in her cheeks! Now then Agnes, please report!

Now Wait One Flying Moment!!! What in the Furry Universe was ‘Dropped Off’??? It sure as yawning cats wasn’t the other half of moon that has too many lights in it! Come on Saturday – spill!! :)

So, the Mice are still awake and every one else is akip? Pilfering night is on…

Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow. And a kind good night to all.

Dhan Dhan Dhaaan!! The mystery deepens! The plot thickens!!

I have to commend you on some beautiful artwork in this sequence. Love the colors, the detail on the house, and to quote from 2001, A Space Odyssey: “My God, it’s full of stars!”

I guess today must be Goodnight Day, eh, Scaeva? ;-)

I’d say it’s wasting a good day with good nights! :-P

What is like to know is what’s going on! What did she leave by the tree? It was for whom? Was it someone who lived inside that hole in the tree? What is this mystree?

Pucky toe beans AND chest tuft! X

Wow! Never want that incredible journey to end. Glad they’re home safe. “Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.”

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy nights of summer

Those nights of Baba and Agnes so dear

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy nights of summer

Dust off the stars and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your trip bag full of magic and myst’ries

Then lock the barn up, now you’re set

And in the fields you’ll see possums eatin’ ice creamies

As cute as ever and as happy as they get

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy nights of summer

Those nights of raccoons and fireflies – no fear

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy nights of summer

You’ll wish that summer could always be here

Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer – Nat King Cole

Hey, this was really fun

We hope you liked it too

Seems like we’ve just begun

When suddenly we’re through

Goodnight, goodnight, good viewers, goodnight

‘Cause now it’s time to go

But, hey, I say, well, that’s OK

‘Cause we’ll see you very soon, I know

Very soon, I know

Goodnight, goodnight, good viewers, goodnight

(Goodnight)

And tomorrow, just like today

The mouse, the cat and the Big Pink House

We’ll be waiting for you to come and play

To come and play, to come and play

Bye now.

By Peter Lurye, Goodbye Song from Bear In The Big Blue House.

Whatever the mystery drop off turns out to be and whoever the unknown recipient is, Baba is one happy Mouse! Wait, the mouse is Agnes….. Baba is Grandmother Baba Mouse Cat. Stay tooned for BCN report on ongoing mystery!

Meanwhile Elvis is climbing back into his cat bed.

I rather think that Agnes knows everyone is either asleep or getting there – She’ll probably report after breakfast. And wouldn’t mind seeing Agnes’ pretty eyelashes!

Wow! Now I feel like a little kid, the night before Christmas! That object left in the hollow tree, is that big box under the Christmas tree, for me! Now I won’t be able to sleep!

Baba Mouse smiles for a job well done. If only we knew what that job was.

From The Who’s Tommy: Amazing Journey

Agnes and Baba

Traveling through an amazing night land

Sharing a dream, a wonderful dream

With friends and cats

…….

Silver or gold? Mystery unfolds so much we need to see,

Loving life and traveling along

In simplicity.

Curiosity will surely take us far,

And together we are gonna go

Come on the amazing journey

And learn all you should know!

…….A slight bit of tiredness

Creeps up on me

All at once all orb friends I suddenly see

Sharing a journey all through the night

In a sky full of stars, what a beautiful sight!

(Continued)

Is Buzzy Mouse real or not?

Most of the time I am writing to you, it is around 6:00 a.m. in the center of the United States. For Robin, it would be around 9:00 in the evening (time for that nightcap) and Bear should be shaking and serving his 5:00 p.m. cocktail before dinner in India. Truly, being a cat lover knows no sovereign boarders, it is a human occupation.

I would love to know what Country, State, Territory or City you all are from? Georgia’s art and whimsy have brought us all together and we have genuinely made a world community. So, post where you are and what time you tune into Breaking Cat News – All the news that is fit to purr.

Aaaaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!!! What???? Who????

Wow, quick return, big pink house, yawning Pucky, colonies on the dark side of the moon. Some night

In the jungle the concrete jungle the kitties sleep tonight..

A whim a weh a whim a weh a whim a weh a whim a weh a…

I am burning up with curiosity: What did Baba Mouse leave under the tree? Who is it for?

And thus concludes this installment of “Mystery Theater”?

Dan Rowan: “Say good night, Dick.”

Dick Martin: “Good night, Dick.”

~Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In

From Georgia’s Facebook Yesterday: “Happy Gotcha Day to this sweet little ball of chaos! Eight years ago we adopted Lupin! The first picture is the Man holding him at Purrfect Pals Cat Sanctuary and Adoption Centers adoption event. We had called in asking if they had any special needs cats available, and they just happened to have “a little deaf guy” on route to an adoption-and-wine-tasting event that afternoon. It was love at first sight, which was particularly fortunate because we fell in love with Lupin before we even knew he was the particular little guy we were there to check out! I’ll be honest, he is not an easy cat—he really is like owning five cats or a small horse. He gets into everything, knocks everything over, and breaks everything else. However, he is a very REWARDING cat, in that he is RIDICULOUSLY friendly and people-oriented and he lives for pets. Every night he sleeps curled around my arm, hugging it with both paws. We love you to pieces, Lupin!!”

This is right out of the olden days, bn (before newspapers). We’d only get strips twice a week, but they would be many panels long. She would do these story arcs over posts that would go on for weeks, leaving us on cliff hangers for days, then she’d occasionally post one that seemed like a natural wrap up, we’d think the arc was over and cheer! except, Oh! the next week we’d be off on a whole ‘nother chapter! She is a master story teller. PDD sits on the edge of their couch waiting confidently with expectant excitement all will be revealed!

From Georgia’s Facebook in response to a comment that Baba Mouse seems a lot like Grandma Olwen in Swan Eaters “Georgia Dunn – Baba Mouse was very much “salvaged” from Olwen Hawker when I believed ‘Swan Eaters’ might not see online syndication or publishing! In my mind they are closely related characters—though slightly different, just through where each of their stories took them.I love, love, LOVE an old crone. Those are my favorite characters to write with. Olwen, Baba Mouse, Old Mag, and even Winifred Quinn’s ghostly spirit carry a lot of power with them.”

Did I miss something? What did she take out of the pack? Where did she put it?

OT: update – my bud in the head house…(TW: mental illness)

And good night to Geraldo Rivera and Al Capone’s vault.

Such a sweet tribute to “Goodnight, Moon.” It was not out when I was a child but I’ve loved it as an adult! And Pucky’s yawn and Baba Mouse"s expression in the last panel is so lovely!

Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day. I suspect that for the doggy set, this is now easier than in the past.

But why would any decent homo sap. do that to a dog? I wouldn’t do that to a dog, my own or someone else’s. It would, however, provide a novel excuse for missing a deadline: “The dog ate the (whatever).” The dog might also solve the problem of the pestiferous co-worker. The dog could also provide appropriate “comment” on management’s latest nefarious scheme.

You could also say, with perfect truth and sirius-ness, that your place of employment has gone to the dogs.

Beautiful downtown Clodine, TX - a slab of concrete on the (used to be) far west side of Houston. The far west side keeps moving, uh, farther west. Central USA Time Zone, and I might tune in to BCN at any time during the day or night, but I usually get the broadcast as soon as it comes on the air here right after midnight.

WHAT WAS THE LATE NIGHT MISSION!!!!!!! She could have said good night moon from virtually anywhere.

Northern Virginia, just outside of D.C.

Colorado

I’m in the minority that finds “Goodnight Moon” creepy. When I had to read it to our daughter it always made me uneasy.

Did I miss the point of Baba Mouse’s mission? This strip is too beautiful!

Goodnight to you too, Puck. Sweet dreams!

So what did Baba leave? and who is that on the roof of the little pink house?

Twelve hours later and I’m still feeling compelled to respond, “Good night, Night Vale. Good night.”

Awwwww! I need a book of this! ( insert cat and heart emoji here)

O.T. Boops needed

Germany, four cats, just finished a shared dinner with a nice glass of white wine for me and some beef for the cats at 8:00 p.m. in my part of the world. I discovered BCN in the pre-gocomics stage. Loved the artwork, the watercolours and the cartoonist’s love for cats. Henry, Minou, Schnurri (Purrer in your parlance) and Tiger send their love. A special “Hello” to Robin. “I love a sunburnt country” .

I look right after midnight, 1AM your time (I’m the one from Ballwin,) cuz I’m a night person in Albuquerque NM.

I don’t understand what this week is about!

Good morning,afternoon,evening,night everyone.Good night BCN.

And good night CIA agent that reads all my posts. May your therapy be fully covered.

I live in North Caroline at the edge of the Piedmont. And I read BCN in the afternoon (eastern time)

Perhaps she’s returning the dish that ran away with the spoon?

I am from Houston. I check Breaking Cat News every night right after midnight, when the new News comes out. Then I can go to sleep.

And I will represent Eastern Washington – SE corner, in Kennewick, on 2 acres, 3 goats and 2 cats – both rescues.

goodnight, moon!
