Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 28, 2021

“Like?” Oh, they’ll like it alright!

Or hide from it. You never quite know.

Wonderful Lupin, seeing opportunities everywhere!

Looks like that drone is doomed ;)

The drone looks delicious! But does Lupin have another ulterior plan for it?!

…yeah, I’m gonna go with Elvis here and do a big Lean away from that until I know more about it or it crashes.

Too bad neither nana nor the man and woman are aware there’s been a camera drone in their house since the boy was a baby!

“Mmm, crunchy.”

BoCH in panel three! (Back of Cat Head. Been a while!)

That last panel has me rolling hahaha!

Is that a fish drone or a chicken drone?

I think Lupin is going to embark on a single-minded quest – even obsession – to pull it out of the sky…

Yeah, that’s about the response I’d expect from cats meeting an indoor flying drone.

You sure it’s not really “Destroy Home Hearth”? Or maybe “Destry Rides Again.”

Fortunately, the mice steal the drone before it can be destroyed and start their own delivery service.

Well, like King Midas, in that they will be trying to eat metal.

And Lupin will never hear it coming…

What’s a Home Hearth, and how does it manage the vacuum? Will it prevent the vac from going on a murderous rampage, or encourage it to do so?

TAKE ER DOWN BOYS PULLS OUT SHOUT GUN LOUDLY AND I’LL DO THE FINISHING BLOW TO THAT FLYING FIEND

OT: Anyone miss me?

That drone would be a recipe for lots of broken stuff in my household. I wonder who breaks something first in the BCN household? I would guess that Lupin will be the front running favorite!

Lupin’s saucer eyes are bigger than his stomach! :D

OT: Breaking Cat Good News

Oh no. Just what we needs. More robots. Woe. Woe is we.

And we thought Lupin was only going to have fun riding the robot vacuum …

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Enter Adobe Style and Violet-Ifa

Beatrixia: Did you find out anything?

Violet-Ifa: We sure did. Here is Hilary from Afar’s scroll about the Great Pyramid: (Reading)

“King Katfre wanted me to put in a two-chariot garage, an expanded sun room, and a luxury litter room with running water. He also wanted a huge library on the second floor. I was able to give him most of what he wanted, but the running water proved problematical. Meanwhile David Visiting found a pyramid near the Afar Oasis that provided a fountain and other amenities. The King was faced with the dilemma: Are you gonna love it? or Are You gonna list it?”

Lupinium: It says the question became moot when the Oasis pyramid was hit by Sandstrom. Is he a Viking or something?

Elvis-Anum: That’s sandstorm, you goof!

Adobe Style: I’ve been to the Local Oasis several times. I’ve never seen evidence of a pyramid there.

Enter Broom-Sweepa

Broom-Sweepa: You know, my husband Bristle has mentioned his great grandfather was working on a construction project that was stopped for some reason.

Lupinium: Sounds like we have some exploring to do!

I predict a punchline…

Tonight they eat like kings and then … They Ride!

In the last panel, Elvis looks gobsmacked.

Oh, fly me a drone where the kitty cats roam

Where ’bots work and People do play

Where the drone can be heard chirpin’ just like a bird

And the floors are not hairy all day

Home, home is so strange

Where cats and mice act often cray cray

Where Lupin zooms while the new Ro Voom vrooms

And the Woman’s not tired all day

(Brewster M. Higley – Home on the Range)

I’m not totally sure, but I suspect loud shouts, crashing objects, and puffy felines, are in their immediate future!

That’s very funny. Here’s hoping Lupin is not disappointed.

It reminds me of a similar funny cartoon from Gary Larson of the Far Side, where a spider has spread his webbing accross a child’s slide at a park.

He also makes the remark, “If we pull this off, we eat like Kings!”

Of course poor Gary was not as expressive an artist, and the cats just add so much more to it. I also love the look of the children’s drone, it’s appropriate for small children – very different from the adult hobby drones.

Oh great, Georgia, now Jason is gonna want one again.. LOL!

Thus Skynet was toppled not by a T1000 but by 4 cats who’s name will Live on forever in the hearts and minds of free cats everywhere….

And tomorrow you dine in Hell.

The aerial drone will guide the self-aware vacuum and other automaton. The family is, well, you know, doomed.

Speaking of doomed. I am embarking on the hardest portion of our kitchen remodel project this weekend. I have been laying a new hardwood floor throughout the first floor for the past month. But this weekend, I rip out the cabinets and countertops and replace them with the new ones that we have chosen. The old cabinets and countertops are 47 years old. The countertops have that dated speckle pattern, so popular in the early 70s, and they have burn marks where Mom had set hot pots down over the years. None of the doors on the cabinets stay closed anymore, and when you look at them, the doors are different heights because the hinges are shot.

You might wonder why it has taken a month to put down the hardwood floor? Well, I will tell you. I can only work on it on the weekend, and after several hours using the nailer, all the joints in my arms, shoulders, and hands are aching because of arthritis. I haven’t done a gut and remodel of a kitchen for over ten years since I closed my remodeling company. It is disheartening to realize you cannot do the work like you use to anymore. Furthermore, I have not been able to continue writing the next Giblet & Belle book and that annoys me.

I will be glad when this (LAST) remodel is done. Oh, I will continue to tinker around the house and perhaps work on our upstairs bathroom where the tile is popping up, but this is the last full kitchen I am going to do. Physically, I just don’t have it in me anymore, and a pox on that.

Where’s Goldie?

Outright, old fashioned BCN belly laugh…. felt good!

Spewed my coffee all over the keyboard thanks to that last panel!! LOL!!!

I feel sorry for the drone.

Rejoice, my cat brethren!

So speaks Lupin Birdbane.

It Drones on and on and on and on…..

They gon eat it

Nothing like the smell of MURDER! in the morning.

Is there significance to the name “Destry Home Hearth”? Which by the way I read as Destroy Home Hearth and wondered why anyone would allow that into their abode.

It seems like the last panel is a quote from a movie or book but I can’t place it.

“Destry Home Hearth” … Does this mean Destry Rides Again ??!! … :)

“Dear? All these robots came from a place called The DALEK Company !!” …

“And look! All the instructions start with ‘EXTERMINATE ! EXTERMINATE !!’ … Oh, GREAT !! They get bugs, too!” …

(Could they take care of the June Bug !) … :)

And the war is on.

Oh, the look on Lupin’s face!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone who celebrates Memorial Day has a happy, safe, at least semi-normal holiday weekend!

The Nana’s generosity with technology has overwhelmed the Woman. Of course, I’d also be a little intimidated to suddenly have so many new potential overlords introduced into my home. Is the Nana working for the Revolution, perchance?

Haha, do they actually make drones that are THIS cute?

Just then, Lupin chases the drone XD

“Destroy Home Hearth” ??

Did anyone else read that as Destroy Home & Hearth?

Somehow, from the look on the Man’s face, I don’t think the Boy and Girl are going to get to play with the drone. And Elvis may be the one to take it out, in self-defense.

I find it hard to believe that anything with “rotating blades” is cat-safe. Stick with the remote control mouse. If you take off they shell, they move fast enough to interest cats. Plus, you have a new hobby: digging cat hairs out of the axles. (Anything with helium in it stops working in a few days. Helium leaks through everything, even glass.)

Lupin is a fierce predator through and through.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it when Georgia makes me laugh out loud!

Aww, the drone is adorable!

Wonder what Lupin meant in panel 4. Does he mean the robot or the plants? Or maybe something else?

yay, my school year’s over. FINALLY!!!!

What happened to newscast

The Robber Mice NEED that drone. Oh, the mayhem that would ensue. :-)

My dogs are TERRIFIED of my little drone.
