Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 06, 2023

I think someone is about to claim responsibility!

Time for a Mole Manifesto?

Mopoleon rises – again. Who shall be the Cat of Wellington?

Oh no Paddington Mole is back to try and hurt our precious boy again. Also Tommy these are agressive expansionist jerks who wrongly consider this to be “their” land their trying to annex. They likely consider the birds a problem. Also seriously Baba where the heck are you. I get she can’t solve EVERY problem our heroes have, that would be boring, but it’s weird that, given she watches the broadcasts and it’s been a few days since this all happened, she’s had no real opinon on what these jerks are doing.

I think we’re about to hear from some angry birds! And Poor, Sweet Tommy, just can’t understand why anyone would ever be mean. We all need a lot more Tommy in us.

OMG, Tommy, LOOK OUT!! The Dread Pirate Paddington Potato is RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!

Honestly, why do the Rude Lawn Spuds even bother surfacing at this time of year? It’s hot and humid and the air quality is awful. Isn’t it nicer underground where it’s all dark and cool?

Chitter and Chatter appear most displeased. Can Old Mag and the raccoons be far behind?

Wanna see a whole mole city underground

Rude vs. Obnoxious: Bring Jules back and let him buzz-taunt the moles back into their tunnels!

The birds are perplexed, I hope they go report this act of aggression to Queen Mag. Also looks like Jean Lafitte mole has reared his ugly head, watch out Tommy!

Looks like human intervention is required to reset the bird bath. Who wants dirty birds around?

Toe bean alert on Fur Babies! https://www.gocomics.com/furbabies/2023/07/06?ct=v&cti=1256707

I like Fur Babies. So far it’s almost as nice as BCN, even if it is a family of three dogs and one cat.

Things are coming to a head.

I think I’ll join Achilles under the bed.

At a guess, I’d say they did that to drive the birds away. Moles and birds eat the same sorts of things, so the moles want to remove the competition.

Once Mags’ sentinels get back with word of this act of aggression against the birds (not to mention disrespect towards the cats in the Big Pink House) tensions are going to escalate!

O.Z! Get your flaming mallet and play, Wack A Mole!

Never mind telling Mags, although they probably will. The birds themselves are capable delivering some pecks

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Dotterel Plover: So we can still use the pond for bathing and hanging out, Your Majesty?*

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Yes, Dot. But remember the pond belongs to everyone.

Dot: No problem, Your Majesty. And we’ll root the moles on at the Lawn Potato games.

Ora Z: Will there be fireworks at the games?

Talpi Mole: Probably at some games, but I think a small Tortie Cat will provide plenty of fireworks.

Lupinium: Ora and I will work on a halftime routine for the percussion group and the tumblers.

Elvis-Anum: While I’ll work on some dignified choreography for another routine.

Iggy: Wally and I are working on stands for the spectators.

Talpi: Never heard of those ’taters. Do they roll?

Iggy: No, but they do make a lot of noise.

Puckmosis: It promises to be a very exciting season.

Woody Guthrie: This Land is Your Land

Is this yard your yard? Is this yard my yard?

I’m digging tunnels, I’m working real hard.

I have created a whole mole city!

This yard belongs to only me!

…….

Tommy: As I was walking all through the whole green lawn

I thought some new friends had come along

And although I’m fine with sharing,

This yard belongs to you and me!

…….

This yard is your yard, this yard is my yard,

We all can share it, it isn’t so hard!

You can all stay here, and dig your tunnels,

This yard belongs to you and me!

Red Alert! Tommy’s feelings are in danger again!

The raccoons are going to get involved now! (Also, I heard a rumor that we’ll be meeting the possums too)

OT: LADIES OF THE CANYON. If you missed this last week and encore performance will be aired tomorrow Fri. 7/7 at 8:00est. on WWW.WWFM.ORG

Clearly, the moles are escalating the situation. Is it time to release the Tortie?

Great expression on the mole, it clearly says “You again?” Here’s hoping this conversation turns out differently.

Sic’em, Ora Z.! Don’t let those moles hurt Tommy’s feelings again!

OT: The kittens are six weeks old today and are frisking and frolicking all over the place!

The birds are gonna tell Mag!! … But they’ll need more air support!! – Time to call in Jules !! … :)

This requires 24 hour coverage by BCN.

Fortunately, I think they’re about to elaborate. Whether we want them to or not.

A disaster of historic size- get on it BCN!

Elvis, break out the Weber and the briquettes, were having grilled mole for dinner tonight.

Obvious molicious intent.

I’ve told y’all the story of autocorrupt changing “inconvenience” to “incontinence” in one of my work emails a few years ago. Today I received a message through my primary care doctor’s patient portal, apologizing for an “incontinence”. I know she meant inconvenience, but I’ve been chortling over it all morning, it’s even funnier coming from a doctor’s office. (Just for the record, that is not one of my medical problems, it really was supposed to be “inconvenience”!)

“Off the Mark” has a fun cat comic today! Zoomies yoga! https://www.gocomics.com/offthemark/2023/07/06?ct=v&cti=864764

“Gentlemen, we have a mole .”

“How is that possible?!?”

“We vetted each team member, we control the media outputs, we are a close knit family…how could something that vile penetrate our defenses?”

“Regardless, we have a mole, they are not Sith, so we did not detect them. But they are acolytes of the Sith, they call themselves the First Order, and they are practiced at deception, they are”

Orders from the Jedi Council, “Send Grandmaster Tabitha Satele Shan and Goldie Skywalker to the Planet Yard. They should engage the Order atraight on”_

The Clone troopers and Jedi Master Puck Skywalker and Lupin Solo will enter from the Jakku side hyper-jumping from Ach-To to Jakku, and then to the Planet Yard. The Cloning Program Seal from Kamino failed on this batch of troopers, they did not follow Order 66, and joined the Rebel Alliance/Republic.

Use the smuggler’s ship, the Millenium Trevor to bring them in close.

Lupin Solo’s other pilot, Burt the wookie will stay with the ship, drop Puck and Lupin down on the Planet Yard, then move away and hide the ship behind the planet’s third moon. The approach will be from the deep OUTER RIM of the galaxy. Nobody would suspect a ship coming from that part of the galaxy, and Hyper-jumping from planet and system to planet and system will disguise the ship’s flight plan and motive.

“and somebody get that Protocol Droid, Tommy 3PO out of there!”

I don’t like the looks of this. Get out of there, Tommy!

Angry birds

OK, here goes:

Papa mole, mama mole, and baby mole go out for a walk, with papa mole going first and mama going second. As they com back to their abode (in the same order), they smell pancakes cooking. Papa mole says “I smell pancakes!” Mama mole says “I smell syrup!” Baby mole (behind the other two) says “All I smell is moleasses.”

Considering the final panel, I think we’re about to find out why the moles did that!

Also I recognize those birds. They report to Queen Mags, so she’ll be involved shortly too.

Sounds like the cats should ask Trevor if he has any contacts in the Terrier community. As trained professionals in underground counterinsurgency operations the Terriers could quickly end the hostile mole invasion.

Uh oh……

OT: Weather

After days and weeks of triple-digit temps (for those who use Celsius, 38° and higher) here in south Texas, today’s high is predicted to be 84°F (29°C)!

And it’s raining!

Triple-digits are expected back in a few days, but for now: bliss!

Christopher Moleumbus claims this bird bath in the name of queen Digsabella!
