Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 29, 2024

She was dressed in a trash bag to trash the house and then trash talk about it…

Gotta love the “Mmm-hmm” reply!

Don’t let her catch you again, Sophie…or you will be Priscilla forever!

RUN

SOPHIE

RUN!

Sophie says, with her finger, “J’Accuse! YOU of being a terrible (would be) pet parent.”

This would be an excellent time for several glitter bombs.

Someone should really have a talk with the Tidy Man about being present. Mmm-hmm.

Yes! That is Kidnapper Woman’s real flaw … she has so many pre-conceived ideas of what she wanted “Priscilla” to be and do, including winning prizes as a show cat, that she never spent time with her out of the cage to learn who she really is.

At least we know for certain that TW can see the trash bag she is wearing. There were some questions about that, I think.

I am just very tired to night and can’t stay awake. I will have to come back in the morning and finish commenting.

The sad truth: this lady isn’t evil.. she just.. dosn’et really get how to treat a pet. I’ve made the same mistake iwth cats.. I mean I didn’t lock one in a box and plan tomake them a show kitty, but it’s easy to screw up when you don’t know what your doing and especailly when you clearly have a lot of money and privlage. It’s why I do hope this lady does get a pet… granted I hope she gets cats need space (At least a room at minimum), but as much as i’ve hated what she’s put Sophie through… it’s really hard to actually hate her.

OT-ATTN @bufalogal

At least TW’s feeling sorry for “Priscilla,” rather than getting angry and hitting her with the broom for making a helllacious mess.

…and I love the “Mmm hmm…”. He’s inured to her drama.

Sophie, move! don’t let her get any closer. you need to lure her away from the window so Gutter can escape. then the girls will help you get out. (that’s my guess anyway.) Cat only knows what Georgia has in mind!

Run, run, run! Reinforcements, come quickly.

The battle for freedom rages.

And SOPHIE looks great in those things! Run, Sophie, run!

Best she think that’s the way of it, Sophie. If she had any notion you did this deliberately, you’d never get out of there

I love that Sophie’s little paws are clenched with rage. And as much as I don’t like TW, at least she is concerned about Sophie’s safety with the trash bag. TM couldn’t care less.

If she only took the time to get to know Sophie, she would know that she created this terrible mess on purpose. Not sure why she did not make her escape through the ceiling with the others.

Ms. Clueless is about to get chomped if she isn’t careful.

You tell her, Sophie! Now make your getaway with Gutter.

Will TW ever learn that cats are not commodities? Probably not, she is too self-centered. Run Sophie, take Gutter’s hand, er paw, and RUN!

Something tells me this lady could very well benefit a great deal if she swapped a gym-friendly water bottle for what the Whose Line boys would have dubbed “BOTR BOTL”, if you know what I mean…

OT: Trouble ♡〜٩( ˃́▿˂̀ )۶〜♡

If you missed Georgia’s talk on KCSM yesterday, @cognoidgs found an on-demand site called spinitron dot com that has it in their archives.

It took some digging, but I found it eventually: spinitrondotcom/KCSM/pl/19299876/Places-and-Spaces-with-Leslie-Stoval

Georgia is the first interview on the program.

Sophie’s Song

CHORUS

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better,

Better all the time.

I’m so glad I’m helping Gutter,

And I’ll hope that he’ll be mine!

Loving freedom more and more each time!

1) I used to get mad at my cage,

Being trapped there made me enraged.

I was being held down

Till Natasha came round

And showed me how to disengage.

2) I used to be a frightened young cat,

Hiding my head in my hands.

When the mouse gave the word

Of distraction, I heard

And I’m doing the best that I can!

Lennon/McCartney

She is Sophie, hear her Roar!

Righteous Feline Rage

And where is Animal Control and the grappling hook?

Will Sophie take the moment to scratch?

While it is hard to like TW, it appears that life in her spotless white high-security castle with a partner whose daily emotional involvement is limited to “Mmm-hmm…” is terribly unfulfilling. She could be a sympathetic character (and may still have room for growth within the story) but she went wrong by snatching Sophie as a free cat and expecting Sophie to be whatever she needed to fill the emptiness inside. She still hasn’t figured out that Sophie is her own little person with her own needs, not an object or automaton to be molded to her will.

Out the window Sofie- out the window….do it to me mice-ies- cut the line!!!

Time to leave, Sophie. Go for the window!

Quick Sophie! Wear the donut!

Way to stand up for yourself, Sophie! Applause worthy, honestly.

Sophie rarely brings on the Angry Ears and Angry Eyebrows but when she does, it’s quite impressive.

Well, Sophie, you ARE wearing a trash bag as a cloak so the clueless catnapper can be partially excused for not understanding you.

That woman has no taste in art.

Run, Sophie! Head for the nearest window! And if TW manages to grab you first, bite her on the nose and rabbit kick her tummy with your back paws.

Wow, that is one delusional woman. You can tell by the way her husband responded, with that “Mmm…” that he gave up a long time ago. And now, the only way to live with it is to just take the path of least resistance. Darn you Georgia, I really enjoyed disliking this couple. Now I kind of pity them. Still, I’m anxious for Sophie for get out there. I’m hoping that Gutter is out by this point, and the mice are making their way back to complete the mission.

SOPHIE! TIME TO PUNCH OUT! EJECT! EJECT! EJECT!

She found a cat on the street and didn’t attempt to find if she had an owner. I hate her.

I love that Sophie is about to set things straight. My Zoey was returned to the shelter before I saw her and set up a meet and greet because the people ignored what the shelter told them: she didn’t do well with kids trying to maul her or other pets and she was a sassy girl. They called me a week after I brought her home and were relieved that she had found a home that took the trouble to understand her boundaries and respect her. She was my perfect little companion and became very loving and cuddly with me. Tidy Woman has done all the wrong things…and I hope Sophie and the Robber Mice teach her a lesson!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Sophititi: I just love the fabric art athletic wear we created.

Adobe Style: Creating warmup suits for the mice was a bit tricky.

Soph: But you are a dab hand at embroidery.

Maat-Tilda: And it appears to have paid off. Already the Procurers have won a gold in the Team Cheese Taking event.

Adobe: And Ora Z is in the finals for the Shredding Event on Tuesday. It looks like there’ll be a new Tallacatchee Bridge real soon.

Enter Serfig-Aro (Figs)

Figs: This just in: Beatrixia has won the curtain climbing event. And Lupinium’s Tumbling Team is in the Finals!

Tillie: Wonderful! And when does Iggy’s sailing competition begin?

Figs: On Wednesday. He’s also on the team for the Modern Catathlon.

Adobe: Oh, isn’t that a new event?

Figs: Yes. It involves sailing, racing, and camel riding. Kara and Vann are also on the team, as well as Kat-Mandu.

Soph: That’s right. It’s kind of a reenactment of having to deliver a papyrus from a distant land.

Tillie: I think the event begins in the harbor at Afar, continues to the Midnight Oasis and ends up here in Egypt. The event is over night.

Figs: There is also the medal taking event. We all know who the favorites are there!

Time for a Projectile Barf…. she’s right in range, Soph!!!.

AIM WELL AND LET ’ER RIP!!!!

NOWWWWW

I haven’t read all the comments yet, so maybe this has been addressed. I find it odd (and maybe this is coming later this week) that she doesn’t wonder HOW SOPHIE GOT OUT OF THE CAGE! I mean, if I came into a room where I had something in a cage and it was outside the cage, even if there was a big mess that had been made by the supposedly-caged creature, the first words out of my mouth would be OMC, how in the hell did you get out of your cage?! THEN I would have done the horrified by the mess routine.

Right you are, Sophie! Put that crazy woman in her place!

Denial! AUGH!

I think Tidy Woman’s looks would be greatly improved were she wearing a cat on her face. Sophie, jump.

Sophie knows who she is. She is her art. Forking humans.

Time for the July Bug to make an appearance. Treat TW as a Navy Air Boss.

Hope Sophie goes Existential Dread on her escape, maybe through a vent or a window

Color is back.

where is Jules??? only 2 more days left in July!

How do you really know someone?

She’s NOT a Priscilla!

I wonder whether Sophie realizes that Tidy Woman doesn’t know that she has no claws?

O.T.

i know we’re all looking forward to the glitter bombs so while i’ve been down a few rabbit holes i found Dec 09,2020 when Lupin got into the glitter. (the arc starts on Dec 1st — Be good for goodness sake…) check out Dec 19th and 21st too.

It was 8 years ago today that Jasper had to leave for the Rainbow Bridge. I miss you Jasper. You were my sweetie bear baby buddy boy boy. You were the bestest little kitty boy there ever was or ever will be, and I will love and miss you forever and always and a day! I hope there really is a Rainbow Bridge, and that you will be there to meet me when it’s my time to join you.

Spicy Sophie is about to announce herself

I hate to repeat myself, but … Smite her, Sophie!!!

I just realized: both Sophie and tidy woman are not being listened to or heard. Tidy woman is oblivious to what Sophie is saying, just as her husband is oblivious to her. My empathy is obviously with Sophie. But it does make me wonder if an epiphany on the part of tidy woman is possible.
