Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 25, 2022

Backstory time? Can we see Baby Mouse again? Also, I love Iggy’s little paw in the air.

I like the use of dotted lines to indicate hops and skips. Also are they going to meet up with the Robber mice? It’s been awhile since we’ve seen them.

Freddie! I love the direction this story is going!

I hope they find some kitten photos of Baba.

I don’t know if I like this story arc. It’s already making the (stupid, inferior) screen go blurry.

For some reason, October story arcs seem to do that.

I guess Baba wasn’t so good at math if she doesn’t know the addition…

Prepare for a tale of disaster, grief, and doom

Orra Z is beautiful

Awwww….also I forgot she lived here.

It’s a good job that photo was there for exposition.

Ooh! There’s some real history here, and Bea is getting the scoop!

Also, there’s no more bottle-brushing.

Bouncing baby Bea! X

Oh, I’m really hoping Freddie will show up to say hello. She’d be so proud of how Baba turned out, and Baba would be happy to see her Woman again!

The Moody Blues: Your Wildest Dreams

Once upon a time,

Once before my home was mine

I remember having been

In the care of Freddie Quinn

I wonder if she’s here,

I wonder if she thinks about me

Beyond the Rainbow Bridge

In her Wildest Dreams!

…….

I once was a kitten, too

The world seemed so fresh and new

Each and every day

Was made for kitten’s games to play

I wonder if she knows

How much I still appreciate her

How much she still lives

In my Wildest Dreams!

…….

And when the kittens purr

I still remember how she loved all of us

It makes me want to purr

And all the kittens here

Are part of her lovely family

Since once upon a time!

…….

From Tillie to Burt

We owe a debt of love to her

Every kitten new

And every old moggie, too

She sewed the seeds of love,

And some of us still remember

Once upon a time

In Our Wildest Dreams!

“Tell us stories from the Olden Days, Baba.”

Love the tribute to Freddie there! Iggy and Ora Zella’s astonishment in panel 3 is almost certainly because Baba is mentioning the place they ran from. What is behind it, we will find out.

I always wondered, is the drawing of Freddie Quinn based on a real person? Was there an animal shelter in the town where Georgia grew up? If this was addressed, I must have missed it.

Winnifred Quinn in the mirror!

Back when I was a kitten here we didn’t have no fancy water fountains, fancy clay or paper litter, automatic self cleaning litter boxes or all kinds of toys.

We drank water out of a bowl, litter was just sand or they put us outside, a human had to clean the litter box(s) if they had any and we played with boxes, paper bags, yarn, or what ever we could find. Dad gum whippersnappers think the gots to have all kind of fancy do dads and thing-a-ma-bobs. Now Get Off of My Cat Tree.

Hopefully, Tillie will be in the story as well.

Today be St. Crispin’s day. And ye, my brothers and sisters rejoice upon this field of the Orb.

“Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—

Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be rememberèd—

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlemen in England now a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day."

I love the portrait of Winnie in the last panel.

Come and listen to a story about a cat named Mouse

When just a baby, sheltered in the Big Pink House,

Then spent her days makin’ sure barn mice were shooed,

And saving wayward kitties when life got rude.

Hero she is, heart o’ gold, just ask Bea.

- Paul William Henning – The Beverly Hillbillies

I love this arc

Legend is that Baba Mousey is older than Mary Worth. While one is nice old cat the another is meddling old bat.

What a lovely picture of Freddie.

OT: Question on cat housing!

I don’t know if anyone posted Sunday’s card, because I was in a funk & decided to burn the day & catch up on sleep, so here it is:

Death: “This is often a scary card for people, but Tillie is here to remind you that the end of one chapter is not necessarily the end of the book!”

And here’s the latest:

Temperance: Who could it be but gentle Puck? I loved @fuzzybritches comment: “Ah, Pucky, the supreme example of the stability of a tripod! So much more stable than a 4-legged chair or table. (Unless you mess with Buzzy Mouse. Or his tea. Or his perch on the tree. Just sayin’.)”

Can we just take a moment, that beside being a fabulous cartoonist and story-teller, Georgia is an amazing watercolour artist? The colours in today’s strip are a feast for the eyes!

Love kitten hopping in the background!!!

I love Baba Mouse. Senior cats have such character!

The werewolf and undead seem schocked.

Baba looks so happy to have been born in the Big Pink House.

I’ve got alarms going off, but no visual. BSA, it says.

Nostalgic Baba. Happy memories. Love the way she looks in the last panel: peaceful happiness.

OT — It’s GO Time for Fifi

OT: Fifi is in labor!

(5:30pm ET) C’mon, girl, PEW PEW PEW those bebehs!

I liked this comic better when it was simpler, you know when it was just Lupin,puck, and elvis

OT – I last commented when I lost my cat Fearless a couple of months ago. Six weeks ago, I decided I was ready and adopted a new cat – a 5-year-old calico I have named Gema. She is fitting in really well in my apartment – the first night I brought her home she slept in my bed. She is still settling in, but I think she realizes that this is her new permanent home and is starting to show that she is in charge.

I love that Beatrix bounces everywhere

I’m hoping this storyline will addition-up to something soon. :)

Goodness, how old is Baba?

Baba looks like a kitten again in that last panel! So very sweet.

Don’t you just hate these furry, blurry screens? I can hardly see it!

Awww !!! Babba backstory !!!
