Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 22, 2023

OH MY CAT! Somehow I think this is a setup by Santa. But will it backfire on him? Or Does our Tortie Terror truly have a heart of gold underneath that would-be chainsaw wielding exterior?

Oh! She caught him under the tumbled milk glass! How clever! I did not see that coming!

OT – McDuff

I read this as Santa “caught” himself. Now Ora can help Santa and have her proof. Santa is wise indeed.

It’s a dream come true! Or a dream anyway.

That tiny little tongue out-in the last panel could be ominous….

“This just in…” She’s learning reporter-ese! :-D

Will Ora Zella save the day and get Santa free in time to deliver gifts to all the good little girls?

Will the others see Santa? Will OZ be believed? Will OZ be sworn to secrecy?

I can’t wait.

Had to catch in a glass and release a beetle last night. Hope Santa is released, he’s got much to do!

Hmmm… This seems a tad… Convenient.

Is Santa under glass in Panel 2? How long has he been there?

OT TommyBaum

I’m a bit surprised he hasn’t manifested himself in cat form. But I’m glad to see he’s wearing the long coat, even if it isn’t the one with the hood.

Oops. How did that happen? ;-)

Ahhh I see a certain kitten been drinking too much milk to visualize santa…. or is it him???

Aha. See? Me tolds you he was shapeshifting alien. Now that he captured, now to confiscating his UFO. And then there finally solid evidence of them aliens.

Santa in a jar – kinda.

Lupin is vindicated!

That smol tail is going like an outboard motor.

That light beam in the first panel looks suspiciously like a transporter beam. Did Santa beam himself into that glass?

In the 2nd panel you can just barely see Santa in the glass with an explanation mark.

This is a plot twist I definitely was not expecting. Oh my Cat!

Tough year for me, I guess. I saw Santa in the glass and started crying. Wine. I need wine…

OT:

I wasn’t expecting this. I think Ora Zella fell asleep and is now dreaming.

OT:

So, my grandson who is staying with me right now because his work is here but they are house hunting in another town closer to his wife’s family. This happened because his ex-landlord wanted to sell the property and wanted them out before October 1. Sean came here where his job was, and his wife and `little ones went to his parents. He went into work yesterday and found out he has been made redundant. No two-week notice, nothing. Just a letter saying that they are doing random job cuts, and he is random. Merry Christmas to a man who goes in and works split shifts every night, can do pretty much any job on the floor, helps me around the house, spends 4 hours a day talking to his wife and babies, and has simply been through a hellish year. He and his wife will be looking at a house on Sunday. I hope they get it, because I will be moving in with them. I’d be interacting more with my two younger great-grandchildren (his little boy is definitely autistic, we aren’t too sure about his little girl), and we can save money up for a planned move to New Brunswick in 2 – 3 years, where costs of living are MUCH cheaper.

I think OZ will save Santa and promise to keep his secret. A Christmas pact. OZ is a good kitty and loves Santa.

That is a twist I was not expecting! Now will she help Santa, or negotiate for her chainsaw?

You did it, OZ! Now, set Santa free! (I want everyone to get their gifts!)

Now is the moment!!!Be the herorine Ora Zella!!!

Oh, tail wags and blurps from OZ. Georgia, you’ve outdone yourself on the cuteness scale!!!

I did not see that coming! And neither did Ora Zella – she has quite the case of bottle brush tail syndrome going!

Nope, was not expecting this!

It’s a Christmas miracle!

!!!

Well, I guess a couple of kitties owe Lupin an apology then. ;)

to the entire ORB family- Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy time off! ( i think that covers everyone – limited computer access next few days .)

I’d like to congratulate Ora Zella for her successful attempt to launch her eyebrows into orbit.

I am suspicious. How is Santa breathing?

Anyone else suspect this is going to end with her waking up and finding out it was all a dream?

Chocolate, whether it is a Santa Shaped chocolate or an Easter Bunny Shaped chocolate is definitely not good for cats.

Might it be Seamus the Leprechaun, coerced into coming a few months early in order to save Christmas? Is it a dream? Or. . .?

Glass half full, Z?

Oh no, Santa Claus is trapped! You must free him, Ora.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

_On Board the Water Cat Fishing Boat_

Salt Water Cat: Yes, I see the sails of a ship. It looks like it could be the Red Planet Spider.

Iggy: Wonderful! I’m all set with my banjo and Ora Z will be ready as well.

Fresh Water Cat: Did she finally decide that there is a Papyrus Cat?

Iggy: Yes, well actually Kat-Mandu explained things. There are actually several Papyrus Cats as well as other Papyrus Animals. That was explained on December 7th.

Salty: And we’ll have plenty of tilapia for Thomios to prepare a banquet.

Later That Evening

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: A wonderful feast as always, Thomios. And I understand there will be a tilapia banquet when our guests arrive from sea.

Thomios: That is so, Your Majesty. And now, for your enjoyment Iggy will play the classic: I’m Inclined to Knock Music.*

3 more days!

I’ve seen references to a leprechaun a few times since joining. Would someone kindly point me to the date(s) this character appeared? Thanks in advance!

She’s the happiest little kitten for miles.

Such sad eyes in the first two panels, then hope blossoms into reality!

Uh oh!

Another day of my silly questions: What is the orb? I’ve seen it in many comments before I made my account, and I had started reading breaking cat news since 2019, but I have no idea what the orb is…

I’m surprised that mini Santa was smaller than OZ herself! I bet if Lupin was awake, he would’ve said, “Breaking News: Cat was right all along” for the millionth time!

First sighting in panel 2!

So, if this is NOT a dream, that means Lupin was correct – Santa really does make himself tiny to enter houses!

Quick, Ora Zella! Wake up Goldie and Lupin! No, wake up the BPH!

Tail, high frequency vibration.

And Santa knows her name!!!

Now hook a girl up with a chainsaw, Santa.

I think I saw that guy on a streetcar. “ZELLA!!”

Put the dot back between Instagram and com, and close everything up and hopefully the link will work and bring some comfort to us all.

OT cat clip from space

I knew it! He’s a tiny little man! That explains my childhood fear of not having a fireplace for him. He can get in any places that doesn’t have a fireplace! Now I hope you can find me and I’ve been a very good and nice person!

Oh no ! Santa

Merry Christmas to everyone out there in BCN Land.

Oh, hey, a tiny Santa. Somehow I wasn’t expecting that, lol
