Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 18, 2022

Nice work, Man!

Also, I love the Girl’s fox hat.

Looks like we have whipped cream on 2 mugs and mini marshmallows on the kid’s mugs. It is a maximum cozy scene.

Who else is hoping/expecting to see a picture of the real Chicken Mug on the Georgia Dunn – Breaking Cat New Facebook page?

C’mon, Woman; make with the mug!♥

Maximum cozy overdrive!

Awww!! Coziness to the MAX! I just love the Woman’s chicken mug! ❤ I wonder if she also makes Cup of Soup chicken soup in it. :)

So now we know who gets the chicken mug! I want to see some whipped cream for the kitties, too!

Wait, is The Man from Boston??

Are the girl and boy being served their cocoa in sugar bowls?

Ah now you does it again. Me wants popcorn now.

So nice of the Woman to take the kids out to play. And nice of the Man to get things ready for when they came back inside. I love how the Woman has the Girl riding on her back.

Cocoa time! Yes!

I’m back on solids, so I can have popcorn also. I wonder what lemon or lime pepper blend would taste like on popcorn?

So The Woman went out to play with the children in the snow and the brisk sub-zero fresh air, while The Man self-sacrificingly forwent these healthy activities, and instead endured the stifling fug indoors while slaving away to produce the cocoa and popcorn.

Well, hope the day stays cozy.

You can never have too much coziness.

Popcorn and cocoa – all set for a family movie night. Might I recommend Clifford The Big Red Dog. I watched that last night and while it is modernised over the Schoolastic books of my youth, it is a great film.

But all this is for them hyoomans. What about poor cats? Poor cats has to eats and drinks too!

It’s funny to me how the marshmallows in the red mug look like eggs next to the chicken mug.

Cold, icky day today. I think I have some cocoa somewhere; I may have some popcorn too.

So it turns out it was the Man with the heart mug and the Woman with the chicken mug. Kind of makes sense now since the chicken mug is the most whimsical and also the largest. Just realized the man stayed inside and made popcorn and cocoa for everyone else, which is so sweet.

We all could do with some maximum coziness sometimes.

OT: Albert update (he’s home!)

OT a bit

Not sure if you will be able to see this if you’re not on Reddit, but on the soapmaking subreddit someone recently posted a pic of a bowl of buttered popcorn they had casted out of melt and pour soap.

Now, I consider M&P sort of cheating (I make cold process soap), but it can be an interesting hobby unto itself.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Trevor-Hotep: Hi, guys. Anyone up for some freshly harvested popcorn?

Thomios: Sure. Like some cat-friendly hot cocoa to go with it?

Trevor-Hotep: Sounds great. Nothing like a cozy evening at the palace.

Elvis-Anum: Let’s top it off with a scroll reading. I have a whole collection of stories here.

Beatrixia: And maybe we could sing a few songs as well.

Puckmosis: Now we will sing the popcorn song:

Here we are on a cold winter’s night (for Egypt, anyway)

With mugs of chocolate, we’ll do it right,

Now we’ll make plenty of popcorn!

In our toasty outfits,

In tiny boxes we sit,

And we’ll have plenty of popcorn!

It’s very well known,

Chocolate goes quite well with scones

And with family and friends,

May the love and joy never end

With chocolate, snacks, and popcorn!

I wonder what a cat would think of chicken broth warmed to blood heat and topped with whipped cream.

Just Love Georgia’s sharing of good feelings!

Did Pucky get his “Heck YISSS” from the Woman … or did she get it from him?

Is the Boy reaching for that chicken mug? If he’s not careful, I fear it might be….

.

…might be….

.

Ah fug, what’s the word I’m reaching for here?

Cocoa addiction is real but popcorn is part of the treatment. Be sure to have your therapy mugs handy.

Did anyone else notice that Georgia reddened the cheeks of the woman and the kids? The man’s face is a contrast.

OT

I like the Chicago flag scarf

OT: Jojo

The chicken mug … not this one, but a chicken mug … was, at one time, a thing, as a (probably unauthorized) tribute to a lady who lived along the south/westbound route to the University of Rhode Island. Details in the link, but she would dress her chickens up according to the season and such. However, she passed a number of years ago and I don’t believe the chickens are there anymore.

When Bob Hope was invited to speak at the URI commencement, she dressed them up as Hope and Crosby. Bob Hope saw it and had his driver stop so he could meet her.

I love this family! So much fun!

Georgia has posted pix of the Chicken Mug on i.g. but I don’t know how to get the link here. The chicken’s name is Ethel and she’s adorable!

I miss cocoa. One of the sous chef tasks my mom gave me was stirring the cocoa. She liked to make it from scratch using Dutch cocoa powder. Other tasks included creaming butter and sugar and stirring pudding while it thickened. When I grew up it finally hit me that she gave me tasks she wanted to skip. She was subversive. She knew my dad didn’t want boys cooking.

Maximum cozy inside and a wicked Eunice outside

Pucky looks like he made the cozy cozy for the People while they were out playing in the snow. Maybe sledding or making snowmen? Don’t look cold enough to have had a snowball fight or making snow angels. But maybe they oughta try making sugar on snow. Or snow cream.

I gotta figure out how to do this without making a big mess!
