Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 26, 2024

I so love the pics of rolly polly baby Puck and young Elvis. How they both grew into such handsome boys. I just wanna cuddle baby Puck and his baby fat.

Teenage Elvis reprised!

What? She not know she draw? How can that be.

And now maybe she can finally learns how to draw Doug.

In other mews, it a big day for we today.

Awww more drawings of baby puck and emo elvis. But this is a sweet reveal. Also like whoever that bat cat is.

Egad! Kitten kitty beans!!! Triple SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!

If The Woman is not drawing this, then. . . who. . . what? I’m so confused!

Love the Count Igula! But how does Goldie not know that the Woman is an artist?♥

So woomin is lefty eh. Leftys is so rare me is bearly knows of leftys.

I keep forgetting she’s also left handed. Hooray for Lefties Everywhere!

I thought it was Sir Figaro Newton until I looked closer and recognized Iggy, well, Iggy plus bat wings.

Lupin’s gone Batty?

Elvis is voluntarily showing a picture of his younger days?

I love that teenage Elvis’s face is colored correctly. Siamese kittens are very light-colored and only start darkening on the points (face, tail, and lower legs) as they age.

Reminiscent of Vampire Bananya from Bananya episode seven.

The Woman should have an easier time drawing.

OMG!! Elvis looks like a Beach Boy! And Puck has the cutest Toe Beans!!! Yee Haw!!!!

Elvis doesn’t seem to know she still continues to draw. And Goldie is totally up aware. Best kept secret?

awwwww bebes!

I much prefer the very early rather naive style that Georgia penned . Today the strip can appear over produced (to my eyes). But that’s just me . I also prefer the early Mickey Mouse and Felix (keeps on walking) cartoons .

Puck is such a fat little chub-chub

What is Elvis wearing? Looks like a hoodie with a center hand-pocket.

Baby Pucky! Elvis’s teen phase! I am in love. ❤

Evis – the button-down, braces-wearing, serious cat we all know, sporting the grunge look as a teenager. Off to the Pearl Jam concert, I dare say.

Interesting, I wonder where the Woman’s drawing hobby will take her. Perhaps we are going to get a comic within a comic.

Baby pictures! Vampire Iggy! Pucky loaf! So many adorable things I don’t know what I want to see more of first!

So much to love here: Count Iggula! The Woman drawing! The Woman is a lefty! Baby Puck! Teen Elvis!

For newbies here, the drawings of Elvis and Puck as kittens together is not part of the real world. Elvis was Georgia’s first cat, adopted before she got married. Puck was adopted as a kitten several years later and then Lupin a year or two later.

CUTE METER ALERT! CUTE METER ALERT! CAN NOT CONTAIN THIS LEVEL OF CUTENESS!! HEAD FOR THE HILLS! IT’S GONNA BLOW!!!

Project: Uplift Frodo

We did as much brainstorming as we could with Don’s RC Truck.

We can make a lift with it easily.

We can limit the capacity of the lift with a clutch that will slip if the weight is above 5 lbs.

This can be 3D printed and put on the pulley assembly. Using a multi-pulley system so that the take up can be reduced from full height to about 15% and fit in the motor box.

Since an RC truck has a Forward and reverse (go and stop) only, we need to be able to have the car stop at the top and bottom without Frodo’s help. There is also a remote operation for steering, where the wheels turn left or right. I toyed around with making the lift rotate at the top and bottom using the steering linkage from a Truck, but I really don’t need it. Frodo enters from the bottom facing the desk, and exits from the top, facing the desk interior. So, he doesn’t need turn.

So going to use Proximity switches on the lift car body and tube. Was thinking of putting it on the cable until we figured out a way to reduce the cable length by using take-up wheels and winders. If we used a full-length cable, it would be easy to fix a switch on it, but using these take-up wheels and winder means the same “eye” would pass the proximity switch multiple times.

While we can make a program with a logic counter to stop after so many revolutions, it is easier with using the lift-car body then it doesn’t need to count.

So far, according to Amazon, the RC Trucks and cables are coming tomorrow (Saturday -Amazon Day – with $3 Digital Discount for using amazon day). The tubing was ordered but two-week lead time. Feb. 6 is the tentative arrival date.

We talked about making the Lift look like the TARDIS inside the tube. But making a rectangular/square Tardis in a tube reduces the 6" diameter to 4″ × 4″ square Frodo fits easily, but I would rather give him the full area. Will investigate other decorative finishes later.

So, no new reports until Monday.

Oh the boys are so CUTE!

Adorbs!

The Woman draws? how will this revelation develop in future reports?

OMC! Pucky and Elvis are so cute!

Panel two – Pucky Perfect Loaf.

Oh, take a peek at panel #2 – who could that be but little Igula! Such a cutie.

Of course she draws you ninnies, otherwise YOU wouldn’t exist.

“Teenage” Elvis’s hair. I’m weak

I think it’s too early to be drawing conclusions as to where this is going …

Cutest kittens ever!!!!!

My father was ambidextrous. He claimed it was because he grew up on a farm and started working with his hands before he learned to write. He became an engineer and could work with his left hand almost as well as his right.

Elvis had an emo stage! Who knew?

Baby Puck and Teen Elvis! SQUEEEEE!

(Clears throat) Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.

It seems Pucky was a very round kitty.

Me: I like a nice round kitty.

Pretty much every vet I’ve ever had: Well don’t let them get any more round.

EMO ELVIS!!! Oh god, I’m dying here.

And we are so happy that she DOES draw!

People keep saying the Woman is not Georgia. That’s not quite correct. The Woman is a pastiche of Georgia.

Oh my cat, teenage Elvis.

Because of which half of the brain controls which side of the body, they say only lefty’s are in their right minds.

Georgia: was it a big deal when you got a drawing desk?

Look at cute lil Igula!

I took drafting in high school. Complete with T-square and triangles. For those who don’t know it’s a manual CAD.

\\//_

OOHH, so cute, baby pictures!

Wasn’t that pic of Count Igula in the 2022 BCN calendar, on Iggy’s Gotcha Day?

Ah, Goldie!! Why isn’t there a wink, wink for the Orb there?

I just LOVE that picture of young Puck and Elvis!!! ❤️

I just love pics of a little Pucky and a long-haired, pre-teen Elvis. <3
