I keep clicking back and forth between the live cam of bears at Katmai, AK, and reading comments on BCN! AT LAST—rescue is at hand! How will you twist it ’round, Ms Georgia? Whatever it is, we will probably all love it!!!
Freaking called it… also breathing a sigh of relief but I figured Animal Control would just be tommy’s woman. She’s handled it for the area before.. and also Sophie needs a freaking break after all of this. The other reason is frankly.. this lady also needs Tommy’s woman’s help. Not just the firm but caring lecture on checking any cats you find on the street and want to take care of to make sure they don’t have owners and how cats have diffrent types.. but I still think this lady SHOULD have a cat. Or a dog. Or timmy tarantula. I’m sure show spiders are a thing. She wasn’t a good woner to sophie, and i’m very happy she’s almost rescued. But like most of the strips antagonists so far (Montague, Mag, the Robber Mice), all of whom turned corners.. she’s not terrible just misguided. If she’ll listen to Sophie’s Woman, then she can get proper help finding a pet and proper help taking care of it. Maybe find a cat whose not messy and likes being shown off. This lady deserved the nightmare that happened to her house, but she also deserves a happy ending. One of the strip’s core themes, one I just realized during this arc despite reviewing every other year of the strip (This one’s coming next year, don’t worry), is there’s a pet for everyone. With a lot of love, the right match, and the right owner and good fur baby, anyone can be loved and even people who seem horrible at first may be more complicated than they seem. Except Wicket and that lady who warned about cats stealing breathes. Their just awful. But hey people who are just the worst also exist and even Wicket got a happy ending.
I’m assuming that the mice being back at the top of the living room that Gutter has made a safe escape! Will he be under the window guiding Sophie to safety?
We finally got our glitteracaeous finale! I wondered why the mice were so sure animal control was going to be terrible and here it’s Tommy’s and Sophie’s woman who is calm in a crisis and will figure out eventually how to get the glitter out of Sophie’s fur!
Among the educational info Sophie’s Woman gives Ms Clueless will be that Sophie created this glorious mess (most of it) because that is who she is, and this is what she does!
And Sophie’s woman to the rescue! She thinks she’s just coming to get a racoon, but her baby girl is in there and she’s going to mama bear all over that woman.
Maybe L’il Starfish will become part of an installation piece Sophie will do. Especially if it gets covered with glitter (wouldn’t be safe for her to play with).
Screaming in my bed at Oh-Dark-Thirty because I just checked BCN long before time to get up:Animal Control is indeed someone who will recognize – and rescue! – Sophie! And as if 3 glitter bombs and this huge relief weren’t enough, I see the July Bug on the wall! Oh My Cat, today’s strip is every holiday rolled into one super, glorious, happy day.
Do we get to hear a “Huzzah” from Jules when Sophie’s woman is reunited with Sophie as Gutter gets away with the Robber Mice? Nice to see Jules again, even if it is only for a couple of days this year!
The 4th glitter bomb makes a direct hit on That Tidy Woman’s head (great shot, Violet!) & explodes, covering her & Sophie in sparkles & startling her into dropping Sophie, who snatches up Li’l Starfish & dashes for the door as soon as it opens, streaking past her Woman into the night. Sophie’s Woman sees only the glittering blur of her passing & doesn’t recognize her. Jules dive-bombs That Tidy Woman’s sparkling head repeatedly, =BONK BONK BONK= hee hee! Gutter, lurking outside in the shrubbery after his own successful escape, sees the fleeing Sophie & hurries to catch up with her…
Ugh! I’ve just read of real life cat kidnapping in Surrey. A man stopped his car, got out to pet a 16 year old cat sitting outside her house, then he grabbed her, threw her in the car and drove off. The crime was captured on a doorbell cam, her owners are distraught. I sure hope the thief can be traced, and the cat re united with her owners. :(
We don’t see everything Sophie’s Woman is carrying, but shouldn’t she have some protective gear seeing as how there is a suspected rabid raccoon? Of course, Gutter is definitely a rapid raccoon.
This is great! I thought that they would free Sophie and return home with Sophie’s woman none the wiser as to what happened. But I so want the tidy woman to get a scolding by another human as to what she was thinking.
I am many hours behind everyone’s comments. I’m just happy to see Jules and anxiously awaiting what he plans to do to help TW realize her erroneous way.

To the tune of “You Dropped a Bomb on Me” by The Gap Band
I saw a cat, said I want that
I took that cat for free
Locked her up tight, in a room of white
Made cat show plans for me.
Chorus
But you found me out, birds!
(You dropped a bomb on me…GLITTER!
You dropped a bomb on me!)
But you ruined my house, mice!
(You dropped a bomb on me…GLITTER!
You dropped a bomb on me!)
Power went down, all over town
A raccoon came inside.
I used my broom, locked him in a room.
Mice turned them loose, then it all went BOOM!
(Chorus)
Priscilla went wild! (I thought she was mild!)
She made a crazy scene, became a drama queen!
She trashed my house, and then that mouse
Said, “That’s our cue!” and the glitter bombs flew!
(Chorus)
Jules was in hiding. His time he was biding.
I felt Existential Dread.
Through the door he entered, flying through the glitter
And bonked me on the head!
(Chorus)
You found me out, you trashed my home
You took that cat back to her home.
You dropped a bomb on me.
I learned some things I won’t forget,
Like “That’s not how you treat a pet.”
You dropped a bomb on me.
I, I, I, I, I, I Won’t forget it
I, I, I, I, I, I Won’t forget it
