Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for May 10, 2024

Move faster, Woman (or you’ll lose this race and you’ll have another Ora Zella mess to clean up)!

I get the feeling that Ora Zella’s name is actually spelled, and called out, ORA ZELLA! . My Gracie is the same way. And I love her for it.

This one looks as if it should have come before yesterday’s strip.

Reading this with a death grip on my coffee mug, yelling “Nooo” at my computer.

… hooboy…

Feed her some catnip so she’ll slow down.

I try to leave a comment here and the page resets?? Is that common?

The Woman’s coffee mug is, how shall I put it? DOOMED!

I like to imagine that Georgia is reading a comic page featuring new, creative artists of every kind.

The woman is the Referee. I think a draw is about to be ruled.

It’s been a month since we’ve heard from Denny Wheeler. My computer can’t get to the Tiny Kittens site. Is he still posting there?

Don’t push me, cause I’m close to the…edge! I’m trying, not to let OZ, make me lose my mind!

Now I’m hoping that the Shadow becomes a recurring character. Whether it interacts with the rest of the gang or only OZ, there’s a lot of potential there. (We have ghosts, so why not Shadows?)

“♪Living on the edge

(She can’t help herself from falling)

Living on the edge

(She can’t help herself at all)

Living on the edge

(She can’t stop herself from falling)

Living on the edge

(Ora Zella, OraZella)

Leave the coffee alone! I yell that at my cats almost every day.

I like the way she captured the moving tail in panel 2. It is definitely time for the Woman to intervene.

OT: Finishing up today?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Luthier’s Studio

Mandy: Thanks again, Elvis, for your discarded scrolls.

Elvis-Anum: Not a problem. Glad to oblige.

Lynn: We were wondering, did you have any old scrolls with musical notes on them?

Elvis: I think I have a few around. I’ll take a look.

Enter Ora Z

Elvis: Ora Z! Just the cat I’m looking for. Can you find some scrolls with music on them?

Ora Z: And you want me to shred them?

Elvis: No.

Ora Z: Burn them?

Elvis: No, just find them and bring them to Mandy and Lynn. They’ll know what to do.

Lynn: And then we have a pile of scrolls we would like you to shred to make papyrus maché.

Ora Z: Then I’m your smol cat!

Meanwhile, at the Royal Kitchen

Sue Chef: I was thinking, Thomios. Maybe we can do a shadow box of forbidden foods. We already have one for simple pleasures.

Thomios: I know just what you mean. Amon-Merchant and Azibo are coming this week. And you know what they sell!

Sue Chef: The condiments we can only name in singularity.

Ashford and Simpson, Performed by Diana Ross and Others: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough

Listen, Orb Friends, there isn’t any mountain

There isn’t any valley low, there isn’t any river wide, friends

If you need some coffee, I’ll bring it in a hurry

On that you may depend and never worry!

Because there isn’t any mountain high enough

There is no valley low enough

There isn’t a river wide enough

To keep coffee away from you!

Ora Zella helps me remind myself about why I don’t need another kitten

Someone’s gonna need a roll of Bounty paper towels in a minute.

OT:

Woman, get a dog to keep that cat in line.

Love the sight of the Woman reading an old-fashioned print newspaper!

SAVE THE COFFEE!

Ora Zella, that is not what is meant by “coffee rush.”

The earth is not flat because if it was my cats would have pushed everything off of the side.

If I see a cat approach (I have 4) I am instantly on the alert for potential knock-downs.

I had no idea such things as the magnetic designs were available! I am going to measure some appliances right now!!

Well, there goes the coffee off the edge of the table.

I love how the shadow is a mirror image vs a shadow

Things are looking sunny-side down for the Woman’s cup.

Now the smol cat’s yelling at herself.

Depriving a human of coffee is sometthing even the fiercest kitten should think carefully about.

Krazy Kat!

I knew shadows could be dangerous!!

Raze-Olla.

Off-Topic (so you needn’t read it if you’d druther not).

My kitten just very proudly brought me a sofa from the living room of my dollhouse. The open side has a cover over it. She pushed open the front door from the closed side, went through the foyer and front hallway into the living room and back out like a proper visitor.

I think this sofa is probably worth more than our actual full size sofa.

I didn’t have the heart to do anything but pet and praise her, but I am looking into somehow barricading the dollhouse door.

Is the woman dining out? Is that the menu?
