Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 13, 2023

Oh, that’s beautiful.

If the people have zero willpower, then how do you explain them withholding bacon and ham when they prepare it?

I love OZ sitting on Puck’s head. Reminds me of Beatrix on Trevor’s hat!

Pretty much, Elvis, pretty much……thank goodness!

That third panel breaks my heart with Puck and the kits – ahem small cats – not sure what’s happening.

No surprise to us, after this…

We always knew it would end like this, but the cats didn’t!

Partly OT TinyKittens

THEIR HOME

Panel 3: OZ and Iggy look so anxious, then they look so happy in panel 4.

Ahhh, Puck with his tail wrapped around little Ora Zella. So sweet.

Puck is definitely Mom Cat through all this. Love how he’s hugging Iggy in the last panel.

Zero willpower. Accurate. ❤

That IS great news for Cats. And Ora can go off Puck’s leash.

“Zero” is overstating it. Even with superhuman willpower, The People were still doomed. Resistance is futile.

Elvis nailed it.

BCN just found its newest interns!

It is perfectly okay to Foster Fail!!!

Hooray for the foster fail!

No way I could foster. I’d hav3e 100 cats. LOL

Yay! You’ll never regret taking in a tiny tortie and her family!

>GHASP!!<

I can neither confirm nor deny that I may have squeed at that last panel. :D

Yeah…..that right there is exactly the reason I am no longer allowed to foster animals lol!

The change in expressions from Panel three to Panel four is amazing. The Joy we see there is what life is all about. Wonderful things happen here.

Let the racing begin!

Love!

I was happily getting down to just 2 cats. Natural changes, no harm done, now there are 4 cats living with me again. I’ve had as many as 9 at one time. It was a herd of cats at dinner time.

I love how the anxious embraces become excited hugs! Puck certainly is a good Mom Cat.

OT I forgot to post about it, but Monday was the one year anniversary of bringing home my guinea pigs, Freddie and Colby Jack. Rest assured, they received plenty of pets and treats. These boys have changed so much. Colby Jack is very affectionate, and Freddie is a purr machine. Having them has also calmed me through many difficult moments. Hard to believe they have been part of my home for a year, but so happy.

Panel three makes your heart leap into your throat.

Poor Ora Zella’s eyes as she’s hugging Puck. Makes me want to give her a big hug myself.

Another happy Foster Fail ending

Foster fails?

As I said, our resistance was futile when it came to cats in need and being offered a chance to be foster cat parents, as you can see by the two newest permanent Board members of Giblet & Belle Press, Hamilton & Holmes.

SAME when it comes to willpower and kitties!

It is hard to resist adorable when it comes on soft kitty paws.

I know the real-life Iggy and Ora Zella have been part of the People’s family for a while now, but… Congratulations, babies. Welcome home!

Also, Elvis, that’s not news. We knew that!

Cat hoarders. Definitely.

I wish I had the room to foster fail a couple of cats.

The foreboding in panel 3 is a heartbreaker……. Let’s hear it for happy endings!

Comics are wonderful! New pets arrive and no one ever leaves!

Iggys little Pucky fangs can break your heart even though we knew the outcome.

Who is cutting onions?! I just lost my little (almost 17 year old) boy on Monday, so Ora Zella & Iggy finding forever homes has made me smile. Ora Zella & Beatrix are my FAVORITE kitties (DON’T TELL THE OTHERS!) so I’m glad there will be more of Ora Zella!

Awesome, though The Man and The Woman scared the heck out of the former “escapees” and Puck by dragging out the suspense a bit as shown in panel 3 but all is great by panel 4!

This goes well with a cute Mother Cat/ Kitten/ Baby tweet which came my way this AM:

Let’s hope the new kittens will grows up into fierce mousey hunters. At least the hyperactive kitty will obviously pounces upon and eats them pesky mices.

I love little OZ hanging onto Puck’s tie!

The biggest difference between this family and ours is that we’ve never bothered to pretend we were ever merely going to foster a cat or cats. It’s always pretty much “yeah, we’ll take ‘em…”.

Now don’t let that fact go to your kitty heads, though. :P

Last panel – Ora Zella “I will climb Mom Cat to celebrate!”

Foster fail. I know Shelly (of TinyKittens) has 3 cats of her own, siblings, all tuxies, known as ‘The Teens’. I suspect they originally were fosters. She also has—TK has, really, the two medical fosters: Cassidy a/k/a ‘Miracle Kitten’ a/k/a Puff a/k/a PuffPuff, who was born with only stubs for rear legs. It’s surprising how well he gets around. The other medical foster is Aura a/k/a Auracuda a/k/a Cudaloo, etc. She’s part dog. Her palate was extremely separated from birth on, and when she reached full size, the gap was closed using a bone from a dog. She’s a gorgeous cat, and when there’s kittens, she helps teach them how to cat. She learned from the late Grandpaw Mason.

Even though I knew they were staying, still had a blurry screen this morning

Best news ever!!!

It’s Official…….The Humans are totally delusional and are turning into crazy cat people.

I love a good foster fail

This is why we decided to stop at two cats and now have nine-ish. Exact count unknown, since we sort of own a few ferals.

Ok, this officially beats my record. At one time I had five cats, every one of them except one were strays that people abandoned by the family cottage. I’m down to just one now, and she’s seventeen years old

I’m so glad the People are keeping them. Foster Fail for the win!

Ora Zella and Iggy each have Charm of 20+, and cast charm spells at 6-D20, no saving throw.

Anyone else have their monitor go on the fritz and get all blurry, this morning?

The Woman just got promoted to Crazy Cat Lady…

Both panels 3&4 are perfect! I love how OZ and Puck are clinging to each other with Iggy tentatively peeking around them, and Elvis’s joyful announcement at the end. I have my two current cats due to a lack of will power as well

O.T. – Ozzy Update 2

Our clowder started out as 1 many years ago. Over the years it has reached its present limit of 5. This limit is set by the number of Litter Robots we can afford (3) and how well some of the cats have retained their toilet training. We still have 3 “regular” litter boxes as well. Yes, that might seem like a lot, but from the point of view that there are no “surprises” dealing with felines not getting to a litter box in time, it’s worth it.

Does this mean we can Parkour in the hallway at 2am again??

Going to join our family? I’m afraid that train left the station weeks ago. You are just acknowledging the inevitability.

What kind of name is Ora Zella?

Silly humans: Now you’re outnumbered!

OMC, Pucky is so protective and then so happy. As are Iggy and Ora Zella. Pucky does live up to his “parent cat” name in the best possible way.

Elvis with the hard-boiled truth.

Iggy looks excited, Puck worried but resigned to the inevitable, and Ora Z terrified of loosing Puck and Iggy. And then the final panel Puck looks thrilled and Iggy and Ora Z thrilled at still being with Puck.

dreams come true!

I strongly desagree. I don’t have cero willpower when dealing with my furry family. It is well down the negative scale…

Woohoo!

Aaaannnd, all is as it should be. Until a stray finds its way to their door, or someone they know has to move into pet-unfriendly housing and needs a new home for their cat(s), or any of the other ways a cat in need can come to their attention.

Cat is in his heaven and all is right with the world.

Makes me feel better about having six cats …

Has anyone heard how Georgia’s hand recovery is progressing?

OOOOOOHHHHHH sssooo precious little Ora holding on to Pucky and Iggy looking from around him.

I actually think Puck’s expressions are funnier because they don’t show his mouth.

Very good news indeed.

Yea! O.Z. stays. I love her.

Another serial foster failure!

Serial Foster Failures for the win!
