Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 10, 2022

Awww, it’s OK little guys. You’re destined for a life of tuna, sockies, and soft beds.

They sure don’t want to go back, and I don’t blame them. While I’m sure the Quinn Animal Shelter is the best of the best, it’s still not as good as having a real home.

Mouse is unperturbed.

Sometimes medicine and doctors must be endured.

Well, I can’t blame them. Medicine is icky!

Poor Iggy! It will be OK little guy.

I’m growing very fond of Ora. She’s a pistol.

Waitaminute! Is Ora Z standing on Baba Mouse’s back??

Capital Cities: Safe and Sound

Puck: We can help you out

This is really where you want to be

With human friends and cats like me

And without a doubt

With all of us we’ll be around

You’re gonna be quite safe and sound

You’re safe and sound!

…….

You really are in luck

You may not trust the Humans now,

But really you are safe and sound

You’re safe and sound!

…….

Safe and sound

You really are

Safe and sound

Better by far!

…….

You may not see it now

But really you’re in the right place

There’s love to spare you can’t erase

So please trust us now

I know that you would like to flee

But guys, you can take it from me

You’re safe and sound!

…….

Safe and sound

You’re safe and sound

You have been found

You’re safe and sound!

You are safe and sound!

Every Cat fears the vet. Well, nearly every Cat.

Iggy, Ora – now you get to meet and be friends with Tommy!

Babas been here the whole time? I mean it makes sense but I question why she’s in the quarantine room.

Also my poor children. We know the shelter is safe but its now clear they dont.

I’ve been wondering what could be so bad for them at the shelter. Tommy’s mom is very nice and caring. I wonder if someone wanted to adopt just one and separate them? Have any of The People said anything about adopting them -yet – at the BPH? Waiting for the rest of the story……

The mystery continues! What happened at the shelter?

OT: Other resident health emergency

This sort of paints Quinn Animal Shelter in a less than positive light.

Everyone seems to be assuming that Iggy is the cat that needs the medication. All we’ve heard is that, “one of the young cats,” needs meds (today’s strip), and that, “one recently had an operation and need their antibiotics.” (October 6). Ora Zella is probably big enough and old enough (her claim of already being fully grown notwithstanding) to have been recently spayed in the shelter, or she could have some other condition. Maybe she needs the antibiotics and Iggy’s eye was removed long ago.

Mind you, they both look like they could use some gabapentin or at least some Feliway sprayed in the house. Of course, you don’t necessarily want to medicate every instance of anxiety (that goes for people, too), but Ora Zella looks like she’s liable to hurt herself soon. (Not that Baba would let that happen.)

An Animal Shelter can be completely humane, but they’re still in cages and getting little attention except for medical attention.

Lil tortie knows she can’t break the glass but is gonna kick kick kick it anyhow!

At least that got them talking to Puck. Maybe he can tell them about his experience at the shelter and reassure them that they will be safer there.

So Iggy is something more like a co-conspirator rather than an unwilling participant, interesting. This does make me wonder who the pills are for since neither of them seem eager to receive medicine. Baba Mouse has certainly earned her rest, but perhaps it’s time for her to return to the fray.

Some cats don’t want to be housecats. We tried with a stray that hung around but he did not understand what a litterbox was for. Very messy trial. Sadly we had to let him be outdoors. We still feed him and treat him well, just can’t let him in. We feed many strays in our neighborhood.

Is Baba Mouse going to calm Ora Zella or just let her exhaust herself?

Oh, I see Ora Zella fell asleep.

And the penny drops for the CN news team! Goldie, this is now an investigative story – come and investigate it!

OT: Resident health update

Ah the trials of youth. With age they will come to realize that a warm cozy home, with loving humans, plenty of food and a clean litter box makes for a great place to live.

The Quinn shelter is probably a really nice shelter, but it isn’t a home.

The people are buying the Old Pink House? Just open up the purple rooms and foster some of the overflow cats. The children would have more playmates, and the BCN team would have more stories to report.

Is this the office and is Baba Mouse still in there with them or is this a flashback to the shelter.

OT but cat related.

O.T. – Arrived Monday night.

Baba just laying there dozing, knowing things are handled

I don’t follow Georgia on Twitter — are these new kittens based on real cats? Does anyone know what happened to the one kitten’s eye?

The new cats should pay attention to Baba Mouse. She’s unworried, so they should be as well.

Perhaps O. Z. has diamond hard claws. She should try.

OT: Nervous

Is it for the undead or the werewolf? With the way their cursing the glass and kicking it, I say the werewolf.

Oh hey! Baba’s still there!

The other day we were discussing the purple room in the Big Pink House. I am now the very confused owner of a lavender iPhone. The guy at the Spectrum store thought he was being helpful and showing me how to use it, but he swiped and tapped through the screens so fast I have no idea how to do anything on the phone. I wish Burt was available. I’m sure he could help me figure it out in no time. (Did I manage to kinda sorta keep it on topic?)
