Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 10, 2023

Forcing the raccoons to flee? I think the moles have just opened a second front to the east!

(I think we all know how that turns out!)

Puck’s concerned face makes me sad. Time for all the Cat’s, Mice, Raccoons and Birds to band together and stop these mean lawn potatoes.

Oh yeah! Didn’t the Woman get a nature cam for Christmas? And now we know why! Georgia, you sneaky lady! Applause!

Aw, everyone’s in their pajamas, even the mice.

Baba Mouse, we need your help!

The moles are a real threat now i wonder if there will be a battle like in rango

Does Baba still owe Old Mags a favor?

Pretty sure a raccoon will straight up eat a mole. I have seen one of ours pounce on and eat a big old rat on the night vision cam. They aren’t just scavengers.

Can’t believe the raccoons have “fled”, I am sure they are just regrouping.

O.T.- Have we heard from Piwismom lately? I may have missed a post or 2?!

They drove out the raccoons?! Holy smoke, ach du lieber, sacre bleu!

Well.. crap. It’s nice the nature cam’s boomeranged back around, and to see everyone in their jams again, but this situation has gotten super serious. Baba is missing, Mags of all people was beaten, do the cats even HAVE anyone left who can do anything about this?

I told you about those nature cameras. Much will now be revealed.

At least it’s good to see that Agnes, and I assume Tommy, made it safely back home

The Raccoons have been forced to flee? Then everyone is doomed!

OT: RAGs is missing

Looks like the start of a mole’d war.

Mopoleon is conquering the continent…

Burt is really opening up a cam of worms here…

Poor Alice looks really worried!

Good chance to compare Goldie and Burt close up: Burt’s golden eyes, Goldie’s left ear injury and green eyes.

If they want to win against the moles, they need good, reliable intel. Burt has that in hand, uh, paw.

A metaphor for sure, but for what? Aliens? The foolishness of buying other than vanilla ice cream?

Whoa, that was not on my bingo card for this storyline.

They made the racoons, flee? Ok everyone, put some jam in your pockets, because we are all toast!

Fix bayonets and form square? It worked at Waterloo.

Georgia got everyone again….as soon as the comments assume the storyline will “zig” the plot veers off into a “zag”. Now we all wonder when Mags and company will lead Molepoleon to his Waterloo.

Why those uncouth underhanded underworld mobster monsters.

Circling back to Sunday and Puck’s beard … Georgia made a tweet about it: "In every great mystery, the beard is always fake … " and she also posted on Instagram a picture of new skylights installed in their living room. Possible future BCN story?

To a ‘Mission Impossible’ theme, the raccoons are gathering resources and underground assets for mount a united front against the ruthless invaders.

ABBA: Waterloo

My my, the raccoons have been defeated!

Oh yeah, there seems no winning against them in this fight!

Though Tommy and Bea have tried,

It seems friendship has been denied!

…….

What to do? Mags is defeated, they won the war.

What to do? Where is Baba, could Louie be out there could there be more?

What to do? Everyone seems to be on the run!

What to do? Can no one help? Well there is one!

What to do? Their fate’s in the hands of Georgia Dunn!.

…….

We tried to fight back but they were stronger!

Oh yeah, we must regroup and make up a new plan!

Is this the end for our news?

But we know there’s no way we’ll lose!

…….

What to do? Mags is defeated, they won the war.

What to do? Their fate’s in the hands of Georgia Dunn!.

A two-front war? I can only say they better seize the dumpster behind that new Russian restaurant, Moscow’s, before winter.

The moles put the raccoons to flight? Inconceivable!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Talpi Mole: Welcome to the Lawn Potato tryouts! We have openings at all positions, from tunneler to goalie. First up, Digby.

Digby: I can dig a tunnel fast as lightning.

Talpi: Have at it.

Digby Does His Thing

Talpi: Excellent! Potato camp starts July 15th. Next up: Rollo!

Rollo: I can roll and pass a potato with pinpoint accuracy.

Talpi: I’ll have you go up against our goalie candidate Blocker.

Much Lawn. Potato Stuff Happens

Talpi: I think we have the makings of a great team. As well as a great league. Next?

Packer Chipmunk: We’re here for lunch.

Talpi: Don’t I know you? You’re Iron Glove’s younger brother. You are Thomios’ apprentice.

Packer: That’s right. This is my Master Chef test. Biscuits with molé sauce.

Talpi: You get an A+! Let’s hear it for our new League Chef!

All: Hip Hip, Molé!

The moles would have hated the little calico cat I grew up with. She could track a mole burrowing and would get a bit ahead and dig a hole. She would then wait for them to burrow into the hole, scoop them out and kitten carry them to the nearest human. Never harmed them, but you know that was traumatic as all get out for them. We’d always let them go again, once we told her what a good hunter she was.

Yes, I want to see the footage from the mole-raccoon battle. Perhaps with gentle Burt narration. Given the time of year, perhaps the July Bug will once again play a role.

I see a battle brewing! And don’t forget — it’s July!

Crazy, no one understands me now

Sometimes I feel a little mad

Well, don’t you know that ev’ry one alive

Can sometimes be ungrateful

When things go wrong I seem to be bad

I’m just a mole whose intentions are good

Oh Burt, please don’t let me be misunderstood

(Bennie Benjamin / Gloria Caldwell / Sol Marcus – Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood)

And in tomorrows story line, the cats will wake up from their fantasy nap and rejoin the real world. There isn’t a mole on the planet that could back down much less make a raccoon flee. Moles are a nice snack for raccoons.

Not the raccoons!! Are the moles being funded by Terrorists?

Okay, it’s time to up the ante, and go to chemical warfare…. Coffee grounds scattered around / in their holes! Moles intensely dislike it, and will move on.

Of course, it does appear that at this point it may require covering the entire lawn with coffee grounds…

Someone’s trying to make a molehill out of their mountain.

That’s horrible! Something must be done to stop those pesky moles.

I’ll bet Jules will show up very soon! A lot (and I mean a LOT) of his relatives hatched out in my yard overnight and are now busy doing kamikaze dives on my house, my car, and me if I’m not careful. Not as bad as a few years ago when Partner’s yard was so densely swarmed that it appeared like a dark, undulating block of bugs from the house to the tree line, torally bizzare. Wouldn’t have walked into that for anything. I really don’t understand why they are called June bugs, they never appear until early July around here, and I’ve been calling them July bugs ever since Jules made his first appearance.

I love where this is going!

NOT what I was expecting!

Lt. Commander Goldie! Run sensor scans at full sweep! Furthest range possible! … :)

Before this started, Georgia did say she had a storyline that would run all summer.

I think the raccoons are just regrouping. I expect to see their armored columns approaching soon. Cue the theme music from “Patton.”

Yea! Mousies are involved. Hail Hail the gang is growing! We will defeat the moleing molies.

The moles took the birdbath, the dumpster and junk grounds and are VERY rude to the cats. I can only give one advice : RUN AWAY !!! RUNAWAY!!!

They should flood the tunnels. Send them running away.

Yes, I feel vengeful for what they’ve done, especially to Tommy.

TO THE BARRICADES!!!!!
