Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 22, 2024

Roombas wanna roomble…

If Lupin is running scared, it must really be bad.

The last of them? What did you do with them? Where did they go?

Oh, and . . . Get Back In The Apartment!

Lupin says, you gotta know when to smite em, know when to bite em,

and now my dear Ora Zella, forget walking away, it’s time to RUN!

I count 27 in this batch. Wasn’t there like 28 or so in the last batch? But if they keep replacing themselves (like a hydra) they are in for a never-ending fight. With Roombas having an apparently inexhaustable source of backups.

I don’t like the sound of them apples! Ora, listen to the voice of … um, Reason-Within-Chaos?

That’s not how you stack Roombas! What kind of crazy Roombas are these? Nonstackable?

Lupin being suddenly sensible?

We were wondering what to call a group of roombas. There’s the definitive answer in panels 2 and 3: a rumble of roombas.

“They have us surrounded! The poor (beepers).”

You guys left the door open, right? RIGHT?

BoSCH alert, panel 3!!!

(Back of Surprised Cat Heads.)

This reminds me of Firefly: the Movie.

I love how Georgia has lettered the RUMBLE so that you can “feel” the rumbling under your paws as well as being obviously very loud.

What are they doing, printing them out like Xerox?

Lupin’s not running scared. He’s running smart. Which is far more worrying.

Panel 4 looks as if Lupin’s left paw is dragging OZ away by her nightclothes.

Why has no one mentioned that the roombas are unnaturally flying/floating??? Roombas are floor models!! They don’t fly. This is beyond not good here folks. I wondered how they got stacked up at the door before…

The voice of reason is … wait, that can’t be correct.

The vibrations of DOOM!

You know the situation is bad when Lupin, Lord of Chaos, is the voice of reason.

So, Lupin does have a little fear and impulse control. Unlike Ora Zella.

Their odds suck. OZ needs a chin saw,

“Never tell me the odds!” – some scruffy-looking nerf-herder

Four to one? I like those odds. A hundred to one? That’s just not fair.

Apartment? I thought they lived in the big, pink house.

Sir Elton John: Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting

It’s getting late, gonna beam on down

Ma ship, tell me when the crew gets here

It’s time to clean, and I’m getting mean

Wanna vacuum up some floors, it’s clear!

The Ma ship’s sending out its cleaning signals

And my roomba mates we wanna run!

The carpeting’s there, we all have a care

Wanna have a little vacuuming fun!

…….

Don’t give us none of your aggravation!

We’ve had it with your messy floors!

Tonight is the night we’re gonna rumble!

Gonna bust right through the doors!

Dust and lint better flee in terror!

Beneath the sofas we’re gonna go!

Tonight’s cleaning time; we’ll do as we like

Cleaning time is alright, alright Oh!

…….

Twenty-seven roombas in the hallway right now

Heading for the rooms we solemnly vow!

We are gonna clean up each bit of dust

Spotless floors is really a must!

One of our favorite sounds we listen for each night

Is the sound of the Muppet’s Theme, though it’s not quite right

I’m the product of cleaning up every floor!

And I vow to continue forevermore!

…….

Don’t give us none of your aggravation!

We’ve had it with your messy floors!

Tonight is the night we’re gonna rumble!

Gonna bust right through the doors!

Dust and lint better flee in terror!

Beneath the sofas we’re gonna go!

Tonight’s cleaning time; we’ll do as we like

Cleaning time is alright, alright Oh!

Clean it up! Clean it up! Oh! Clean it up, Clean it up….

Lupin, is being reasonable…ok…(Goes over to the-Red Panic Button- smashes it, and runs around the room, screaming!)

Lupin as the voice of reason is certainly interesting. I wonder what is going on with the possessed cats. It’s been a bit since we checked in with them.

Just leave it go Iggy!!

Kitten can not be scared off!

Roombas ruumble but they won’t fall down!

They can outgun us. They can put maneuver us. What do we have they don’t?

Guts

“ Never tell me the odds”

Oh my goodness. Is Ora Zella hanging on to the border of panel 4 to avoid being dragged away? What a fantastic detail!

Who knew the woman had another box of Ding Dongs on the counter? Her we go again.

Where’s the A-Team when you need them?

Great on pet hair on the floor but not so swell on their poop. More work than its worth.

OMC I can’t believe I missed the toebeans last night! I must have been tired. So, here goes: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Thanks, @Le’letha. If I hadn’t gone to look at panel 4 to see Orazuzu hanging onto the side of the panel to avoid being dragged away, I probably would have missed them AGAIN!

Yes, retreat—before it becomes attacking in another direction!

Quick! Shed on the floor, track some kitty litter onto it as well while you retreat. Those things will keep the alien Roombas busy.

Finally, a little common sense!

Ora Zella, those are not the odds you want!

OT: Jora

There’s no way of evening those odds. Fall back!

Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.

Folks, Breaking News, we may have a stuck stack of sucking saucers!

Time to fall back on the old horror movie meme, “Let’s hide in the room with the chainsaws.”

Maybe Lupin is the adult.

OT: Pre-launch coverage

Don’t forget that they could be blocked by the zombie adults!
