Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 19, 2021

“Some of us are going to Orlando.” Hmm. Maybe the ones with mouse ears? I don’t remember seeing all that many birds at WDW, but it’s been a few years since I’ve been there.

Birds can be weather if we want them to be, Lupin. (The bird in the bikini in the seventh panel is killing me, in a “why did I see that?” sort of way.)

Elvis in his raincoat cracks me up! It’s raining birds!!

Birds are weather, and I have proof and everything.

SUNDAY FUNDAY

Whoa, flashbacks to MTV’s Spring Break coverage. That was actually a really weird thing, come to think of it…

Tommy’s back! I love all the birds flying with their travel bags. One fall I saw a large flock of robins descend into my trees and yard. There were too many to count. Another time it was a huge flock of yellow warblers.

Why aren’t birds weather?

Nice continuity! ❤ Lupin (and Puck previously) continues to protest that birds are weather, no matter how much evidence there is to the reverse, eh Elvis? ;-) http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/heres-elvis-with-the-weather/

The mouse ears are the BEST ! °O° ROFLMBO

I almost missed the bird asking “Am I on TV?”

Fewer leaves, Elvis.

Thinking of the last panel: Birds rule and cats mewl! :D (reference to “Homeward Bound”, the remake)

Those Mickey ears are adorable!

Panel 5; it’s amazing how Georgia can draw ONE line— an eyebrow— and convey that much meaning to Lupin’s expression!

Are those birds hauling an inflated purple pool mattress?

Where do all the birdies go?

A bird front passing.

Where do all the birdies go?

With bathsuits on.

Where do all the birdies go?

Miami or Orlando?

Oh, folks did you happen to see?

That one asking “Am I on TV?”?

At work the other day, I saw a bunch of birds fly past the window, and then I wondered if Alfred Hitchcock was back.

It’s Spring beak in Autumn! (Not sure birds like ‘fall’)

Oh, what a lot of details! Sunglasses, sun visors, broad-brim hats, flip-flops on their claws, shorts, the (as mentioned above) bikini, and the “Am I on TV” bird is wearing a T-shirt that says, “I’m local”!

That bikini’d bird has a lot of attitude! Plus, I’m looking forward to Iggy’s first appearance.

Tommy toe beans!

I is just intrigued why Tommy ol’ boy hasn’t pounced upon a bird and eaten one yet. All cats I knows looks at birds with great interest like : oooh, flying food!

A Golden Oldie: Bye Bye Blackbird

Pack up all my bags and go

Can anyone make out what is on the t-shirt on the bird?

I love how this partly references the web version, but also brings something new! Have a great day everyone!

Now here is news that is, “important to cats!!” I love the reprises to the very first broadcast.

The birds are going to their winter homes, the equinox is this Wednesday, Marie and I are ready for Fall. After everything, we are more than ready to see the back of this Summer.

How does she cram so much detail into such a small space?? One of the Orlando birds is wearing Mickey Ears!!

A new CN investigative report: Whether birds are weather.

Birds passing by here are going to Central America and South America.

I enjoy watching the white pelicans practice forming up for their migration. It takes a few days of having different birds in different positions in the Great V before they can establish which are strongest (toward the front) and the weakest (who benefit aerodynamically from being at the back). It looks funny because they form a perfect V that suddenly falls apart, just like somebody forgot to check something at home before the trip. :)

Personally, I’m looking forward to the cold weather and lower AC bills, breaking out the flannel sheets, cuddling up in bed, making stews in the slow cooker, having the windows open at night, wearing my fluffy terrycloth robe, and no mosquitos.

Usually Elvis is the one who reminds viewers about reality.

Well, I feel like crap. Friday afternoon I came down with a fever of 100.9 and severe fatigue. Went home and have been here ever since. Got tested yesterday but they said because it was so soon after symptoms it may show a false negative. I AM FULLY VACCINATED!!! Fevers have been up and down, peaking at 101.4, then down to 97.7, then back up. Not hungry at all, just drinking a lot of water and sitting watching TV or doing things on my tablet. Let me reiterate. I feel like crap! If not COVID, not sure what it may be. Don’t have any aches (flu), no runny nose or cough. Just a fever and severe fatigue. So much to do this week and the coming weekend that I likely will not be doing. {SIGH}.

With that many birds, Elvis is the only one dressed even close to appropriately. I would need the big rubber hat to feel even close to comfortable.

Birds with their own floaties. Now I’ve seen everything! PS if you’ve ever owned a pet parrot, you know that birds do indeed, rule.

… and the flamingos are saying, “Here come those snowbirds again.” Sigh.

If it’s a flock of seagulls, you’d better run. Run so far away. Run both night and day.

What does it say on the white T-shirt in panel #7?

The birds around here seem to have been confused by our crazy weather. I hope they’ve tuned in to BCN! (Or at least follow it on Twitter.)

It’s beautiful and that’s for sure

Tommy’s beautiful

Birds are beautiful

I love the birds, let’s watch them fly away

Nature life’s where my soul is (Soul is)

Nature life’s where my home is

And baby all I need for you to know is

Georgia draws the birds, she makes us smile today

Georgia shows where her soul is (Soul is)

And she knows what a poem is

And baby all I need for you to know is

Each and every single day

I know I’m going to visit here to chase my blues away

Because this strip is grand

Tommy likes the birds, his gentle caring way

Helps them bare their little souls-es (Souls-es?)

Creatures know of his kindness

Let’s stand back

And let fall come through

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It’s beautiful

Intriguing news on Georgia’s Twitter feed. A new reporter? Missing an eye. Will he be a patch wearing Kit? Updates as the news develops.

Birds are not weather, as Lupin says, but migrating birds DO take advantage of weather fronts. Birders know the best time to see migrating birds in the fall is right after a cold front moves through.

Speaking of a bird a bird front, just had one here Thursday. Had gone out to pick up some pizza and came home to something like eight or ten turkeys up in the upper yard, along the edge of the road. Got out of the car and the turkeys went up the road a little bit and into the woods just above the property. Looking to get a better count of them (and unsure I had time to go in and get my camera), I went up to see just how many of them there were. Eight to ten was just the tip of the iceberg (or in this case flock) as there were like twenty-four to thirty turkeys in the woods. Really wish I’d gotten my camera, but by the time I had the flock would have moved on given my luck.

OT: Tiny kittens at TinyKittens!

Mickey Mouse ears in panel 7.

In case anyone was wondering, I’ve been in the hos[ital for ovrt three weeks due to heart, liver and kidney damage and agravated by sepsis

Loving that Elbiff sees birds as weather, his weather outfit is super cute.

Georgia Dunn passed Geography 101. Clever.John

I didn’t know the little songbirds were thrill-seekers, lol

Birds of a feather flock together!

Yep. I always looked for the first robin of fall here in Florida…LOL

Those darn bird fronts
