Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 02, 2024

Hmm. A friendly AI? With . . . connections to the house security?

Ah, the smiling star cat toy is comforting Sophie.

So… either she can speak English or the device can understand cat. This seems a new twist in BCN lore.

Could the gang have an inside agent?

Burt, how did you not see Destry sitting there?

Destry home nest: What do you think of me? You’re a foul person who snatched someone else’s cat!

I got here early tonight so I thought I would take a trip down the “random” rabbit hole. It took me to October 11, 2019. When I saw the strip for that day I almost fell off my chair! All I can say to everyone is you should check that day out because it seems pertinent to our current story.

I believe Love Shack is in our future.

I hope she has inside help.

Ooh! I didn’t see this coming! Always a surprise on BCN!

Just press the Escape key…

Daring prison break by surrealist art cat appears to be an inside job! Film at 11!

OT: Foot surgery tomorrow

I love it!

Ooooohhhhhh while Violet is planning a brute force attack on the main entrance, Sophie is using her tech knowledge to hack the system from the inside. The ne’er do well seniors will never know what hit them.

I would love to see a friendly Tortimer aid in the escape. And refuse to vacuum up the glitter afterward.

I’m pretty sure there are some Sophie toe beans.

She caught a falling star !

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day………

Thin Lizzy: Jailbreak

Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak

Out of this posh house

I just don’t like staying here

With Destry’s help it’s going down!

…….

Out of this crate, you got it straight

If you see them coming I think it’s best

I’m going away, do you hear what I say

I’m gonna take a deep breath!

…….

Robber Mice, Gutter, and Friends: Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak

At the posh end of this town

Tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak

And we’ll be coming ’round!

…….

Tonight there’s gonna be glitter!

Bright colors everywhere!

All over the pristine white parlor!

For Sophie we’ll be there!

what makes you all think it’s going to help her? It’s job and thus it’s programming is security. It;s a prison guard

I hope, that if that woman can hear Destry, speaking to Sophie. That all she hears, is-Meow meow meow, purrrrrrrrr!

Thin Lizzie: The Boys Are Back in Town

Guess who’s coming here today

The Robber Mice who aren’t going away

You know they’ll have plenty to say

But man, those mice are really crazy!

They’ve had Burt looking around

To see where Sophie could be found

Found her on the outskirts of the town

With a family half crazy!

…….

The mice are back in town, the mice are back in town

I said, the mice are back in town, the mice are back in town

The mice are back in town, the mice are back in town

The mice are back in town, the mice are back in town!

…….

Spread the word around!

The mice are back in town!

Let’s spread the word around!

…….

Tonight they will be on the move!

They have something they will prove!

The glitter’s gonna fly all around!

And if they want to spring Sophie, you better let ’em!

Gutter’s not just sitting listening to his Dire Straits!

They’re all determined, it’s gonna be great!

Won’t be long until Sophie’s free!

Now the mice are here again!

…….

The mice are back in town, the mice are back in town

I said, the mice are back in town, the mice are back in town

The mice are back in town, the mice are back in town

The mice are back in town, the mice are back in town!

There is an old radio show called Escape. Narrated by William Conrad, Jake and the Fatman fame. The ending of the opening introduction was “….We Offer Escape!!” This just reminded me of that.

That woman is rather paranoid. I wouldn’t think the small town they live in is a beehive of crime.

Dangnabbits steenky aliens is has dangnabbits steenky robots too.

Sweet brave Sophie, cuddling with the happy little star for comfort, tugs at my heart strings. Maybe she will take it with her when she leaves, she deserves something good from her ordeal in addition to escape and a return home.

In Honor of July, an Encore Presentation of Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Trevor-Hotep: Jules, long time no see.

Jules: Yes. It’s been a while since I visited the Cosmo Nursery.

Trevor-Hotep: And how’s everyone in Egypt and Afar?

Jules: Just fine. I was hoping you’d let me pick some flowers for my lady bug, June?

Trevor-Hotep: Sure. Help yourself. Just be careful with the space time…

Jules: (Poof!)

Trevor-Hotep: Anemones.

Jules: How do you drive these things?

There you go, Sophie, work from the inside. Maybe you can make it easier when you friends attack from the outside.

A little bit of hacking, adding a “0” to the code in just the right place will turn a “Destry Home Nest” into a “Destroy Home Nest.”

I wonder if this is inspired by the Western novel character? If so, could be … even more convoluted.

Did anyone see Jules on Fb yesterday? Always makes me smile.

Destry to the rescue!

Come on robot!!!

If your house has that much security, it is a PRISON not a home. Or you live in a terrible neighborhood. In either case, if you need to keep checking to make sure your cel… Ahem, home, you might do well with some counseling. Or maybe move somewhere nicer, unnecessary paranoia will only serve to shorten your life the heart hates all those rushes of cortisol.

This is an unexpected twist on the rescue effort. Burt should be able to hack into Destry somehow.

I always love it when the prisoner is busy helping herself rather than being a passive damsel in distress.

If Destry speaks/understands Cat we are all fot it!

Just a note of interest, Isaw an ad for fancy pet collars, with a builtin name plate for your furbaby’s ID.

What was interesting, is that they showed one tag that had the pet’s name, phone number and underneath that, in bold caps was the word -MICROCHIPPED.

What a brilliant idea to put the word “microchipped” right on the tag! :-)) It reminds people to have found pets checked!

Has this idea been around for a while and I am just new to the game, or is it just a new idea?

Either way, I am off to get new tags! :-))

Try using the star, Sophie. It might grant you a wish. ;)

That’s right Sophie! You go girl!

OT: Mom’s spinal tap

Destry, huh? Sounds like someone who rides in (or even “rides again”) to save the day…

The plot seems to be thickening. I think a certain tech-savvy cat may be able to turn this to their advantage.

I’m glad the Destry Home Nest apparently speaks cat! :-)

This storyline is making me so sad!

Right. Talking cats with vast wardrobes, I have no trouble believing. But a home security system that talks to the prisoners? I may need a bigger rope for my willing suspension of disbelief!

I wonder, is the Misguided Lady based on a real-life person?

Hack it Burt!

AI is awesome when it works. I dont think there will be ANY danger of it taking over the world, at least not anytime soon (ChatGPT is fairly stupid)

Destry speaks Cat!

I won cows!

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the Destry Home Nest network talks to each other.

I trust Destry Rides Again will be the feature at the edge of town.

Sophie has a practical side. Smart cat.

The Destry AI is fluent in Ailurin?

O.T.

O.T. The Car Saga

Maybe Sophie works with Destry to escape and meets her rescuers as they attempt to rescue her!

So Destry rides again.

I am investing in this plot

No way! Destry speaks Cat. This universe’s Amazon has really outdone itself.
