Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 23, 2024

The BCN crew are such good, and well fed, sports. Just as long as they’re not free range kitties.

Ah yes, the consequences of the Woman being confined to the couch with a busted knee. At least the cats are getting fed – which we all know is the important thing!

Cool chapeau on Lupin. He looks stylish… one ear in, the other out.

BoCH alert, panel 3!!!

(Back of Cat Head, for any newcomers.)

Strange livestock. They don’t lay eggs. They don’t provide milk. You can’t eat ‘em. They can’t reproduce. Guess you’ll just have to love them and feed them.

At least it’s the GOOD kibble, and not the gray clumps of the horrible keeble, but there will still be a lot of upset tummies …

We now know something that will bring a smile to Elvis’ face.

I hope The Woman isn’t still waiting for breakfast.

Why does Elvis seem to have a white mustache in the last panel?

There’s going to be some fat cats!

Uh oh Mama is going to foreclose on that farm really soon!

This is a common scenario the kids are doing.

It reminds me of when my cousin Alan fed our family cat, Kitty (he was named Ginger, but he didn’t know his own name) kibble one piece at a time, under the table. Kitty thought he was getting room service.

Catkens.

OMG… the mess ! This proves the woman has a heart of gold. But I guess we already knew that. Love the “peck”ing.

OT Feral advice

The Girl and Boy, they had a farm- Mee ee ee yow ooh! And on this farm, they had some cats- Mee ee ee yow ooh! With a mow mow here and a mow mow there! Here a mow, there a mow, everywhere a mow mow!

OT – missing Orbsters

Such industrious children!♥

Whaaat? Not tell me thems wil be cowboys next.

Careful cats. You knows them farmers is fattens up the lifestocks before they is meats them and eats them!

Now that IS a game they will enjoy!!!

Cute! I love how they have adjusted outfits to suit their new profession.

The kitchen floor is the Horn of Plenty.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile Encore Presents the Conclusion: Xanadu

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Welcome, one and all to the grand re-opening of the Great Pyramid Hidden Library. I would like to thank those who have contributed to its re-opening: Beatrixia, Lupinium, Violet-Ifa, and Puckmosis for re-discovering the library, Burt-Ra and his crew, especially Awil-Fixit the Seventh, Wally. The Artisans, Sophititi, Maat-Tilda, Arachna, Iron Glove, and Adobe Style, and last but not least Beaver Lee Cleary from the Afar Public Library and Café. Now I’d like to turn the ceremony over to our new bee friends, represented by Queen Titania.

Queen Titania: Thank you, Your Majesty. When I graduated from Queen Bee school it was my dream to re-discover the lost Xanadu hive. With my nine wonderful assistants and their crews, we have been blessed to create the finest honey in the realm. We couldn’t have done it without the help of the Royal Procurers. Violet, would you like to say a few words?

Violet-Ifa: It’s been a privilege to play a part in the re-opening of the Hidden Library and to bring the Xanadu’s honey to Egypt and surrounding areas, but we’ll never tell how we do it. I understand there will be a cafe run by interns from Floofnet’s The Ceiling Can be a Floor Culinary School.

Queen Catshepsut: And now to celebrate, Terpsichore and Elvis-Anum have created a dance number. Take it away, friends!

Ya knows it better to be farmer. Better than slogging away in some steenky beeg city all life only to lives and dies miserably. With all your moneys you cannot buys fresh deeleeshus meelk inside steeky beeg citys but you gets it in a farm. You may makes more money than a farmer but you cannot buys happyness from moneys. If you theenks you can buy happyness from materialisteec pleasures then you only fooling yourself for it only momentary and then you back being miserable after that moment and back in fevereesh search for new matertialeesteec theengs. Only way to achieves real happyness is through deeleeshus foods. Them deeleeshus foods does not comes steenky beeg city. They is all come into exeestence and grows at a farm first. No farms means no foods for you. And obveeously foods is the most important theeng on earth (along weeth water and breathable air of course) because without foods ain’t nobody gonna lives in the first place.

OT: Dr. Scuttles on BlueSky

It is fun to feed cats by hand. What my daughter’s cat taught me was that even when you put the cat treat in your hand, the cat finds them by smell and not by sight. It is fascinating to watch the cat sniff for the food even when the food is right in front of them and obvious.

My four had fun peck-pecking at their treats this morning.

And the folks at CN are not complaining about that change, not one bit! :P

I love these kids! Puck looks so happy!!

OT: for those who write the date as month-day, today is 11 23. Happy Fibonacci Day! ☺️

Any good business owner knows when it’s time to pivot!

That’s it children, bring the cats up to slaughter weight. There are tennis rackets to be strung, and cat meat is a delicacy in some parts of the world.

On the down side, I have heard that they are a real pain to milk.

Would this qualify as a farm-to-table (or floor, as the case may be) restaurant?

Hyphen and Frenchie update: the boys are settling in, Hyphen is wandering around the whole house, Frenchie is making “shy” recon missions. Our Smudgie cat is wondering who these 2 guys are, small hisses (think Ora Zella tiny hiss), but no active meanness. Thank you all for the supportive messages. I’ll try to get new photos to post. I’m trying to figure out Instagram, as soon as I do, I’ll let you know.

OT Foster kitten update

Scooter wound up spending a couple more weeks in foster care, and is on his way today to charm the public and get himself a furever home!

The kids are going to be in so much trouble when the woman sees the mess!

I don’t blame the Children for being farmers. Running a restaurant can take a lot out of you.

Buc! Buc! Buc! Meow!

They’ve finally come up with a way to herd cats!

There some YouTube channel me was see sometime ago. Unfortunately me not remember channel name or video names. In videos a guy was feeding stray cats with foods. With real foods like fishies and meats too. Especially fishies. So many cats was comes to eats them free foods. Never see the guy or his face in em but just him and his hand breenging the foods to the cats and there be many several cats surrounding him meowing all long and they all goes for the foods as soon as he puts the beeg plate down.

If they’d gone from farmers to restauranteurs, would that have been farm-to-table?

OT:Fireplace Issues

I predict that at least one of the cats will vomit.

Love the kids’ imaginations. Plus the versatility of their Mom’s costume closet!

That kibble can be almost as bad as Lego blocks to step on.

What’s up with Elvis’ face? It looks kind of like a mustache, but it’s not in the right place, and it doesn’t fit the context anyway, I don’t think…

Time for some epidemiological statistics. “Natural” un-neutered cats living in the wild are much less likely to die of cancer than are un-neutered house cats because they have an average lifespan of three years and are therefore less likely to live long enough to develop it. Cancer incidence increases with age.
