Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 29, 2024

Well, if she didn’t know before, she should now!

The love that dare not speak its name. Or dare it?

Wow! Nice work, Gutter! Very impressive, and it looks like you had fun.

Gutter you magnificent Romeo. You have hit on one thing Sophie will absolutely love.

congrats to all who predicted yesterday that Gutter was planning something!

Sunday Funday

Now that is what love looks like. Bravo, Gutter.

Well, I THINK he got his message across. You think she understands?

OT: Word Game for this Sunday between Holidays

I was thinking of one of my dearly departed aunts today and something she used to say. Whenever she made coffee instead of percolate she would say perlocate. It occurs to me that this is a good example of something that sounds like it should be a word, but isn’t.

To me, a definition of perlocate would be 1) you don’t know where you are and/or 2) you don’t know how you got there. “I’m always so confused and perlocated”.

Does anyone else have any examples of something that sounds like a word but isn’t? (definitions optional).

It’s summer in the first frame, so he’s been working on it for awhile.

These two were so purrfectly made for eachother.

Again, no need to grumble today, but the tables are still laden in the Grumbling Room (don’t worry, there are still some available for ladening (yes, I know that it should be “loading” or “lading,” but ladening is funnier), so don’t be shy about bringing more snacks).

The TV room across the hall is blessedly quiet today, so we still don’t know how Snowball will rebuild his fortune (you know he will, somehow), what exactly is happening with that mysterious bag of “Kibble?” OR if Bandit has discovered the paternity of Paisley’s telekinetic kittens.

Not . . . that we’re at all interested in such things, of course.

We probably need to start thinking about the menu for New Year’s Eve/Day feast later this week.

Good job, Gutter!

Awww.

That’s waaaaay more memorable than a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates!

Oh, my heart! So sweet, Gutter!

Gutter found his mixed media material in the garbage. He created a work of art for Sophe.This was a great special creation.Thank you, Georgia.

The look on Sophie’s face is priceless.

And a big Thor YES! for this one…

Her name should be up in lights.

I love that Lil Starfish continues to be part of Sophie’s life.

OT A Cat Care Saga in Four Parts

So sweet!

Love is in the air! Or in the “trash”! ❤️❤️❤️ What a romantic and effulgent homage to Sophie. (ﾐゝᆽ╹ﾐ)

What? Not dotting the “i”?

I love the expression on Gutter’s face as he is finally plugging in the lights…. Will they work? Or will all his work be for naught?

The first word that came to mind was stunning.

So sweet!

I am REALLY tired of GoComics going down—I’ll be reading along and trying to “like” comments, but have to try multiple times before my like will take; if I try to refresh the page, I’ll get the dreaded “we’re overwhelmed, try later” message. This has been going on for about two weeks now! Get it together, GC!

I love how Gutter slowly finds the pieces, then seems to think about where each one will go! I also love Sophie’s white, Juliet like, night gown! Oh! And Gutter’s, Jazz hands!

Romance is not dead!

Gutter’s boombox moment.

♪"In your eyes

The light, the heat (in your eyes)

I am complete (in your eyes)

I see the doorway (in your eyes)

To a thousand churches (in your eyes)

The resolution (in your eyes)

Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)"♫

Eh? What this be?

Good art takes time.

This is beautiful, I’d almost say my favourite strip (despite no Elvis). Sophie is gorgeous and Gutter so cute. It did bring a tear to my eye knowing how much she’d appreciate his talented trash art.

BoRH!

Now who would throw out 5 perfectly good rulers?

I love Gutter’s red ear-flap trooper’s hat.

Aw Gutter! Found art for Sophie, the found art artist. How sweet! Must have taken awhile to gather all the right items.

OT, update on hospital journeys

Finally!!

Aaawwww, that is SO SWEET !

“See, how she leans her cheek upon her paw!

O, that I were a glove upon that paw,

That I might touch that cheek!"

Thank you!!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Artisans’ Studio

Adobe Style: So, if you would like to use some space-time fabric, we have plenty.

Pais LePrent: That would be so lovely! But does it have any special properties I should know about?

Adobe: So far we haven’t found any. But you never know.

Maat-Tilda: We have some lovely tapestries made of it. You should see Soph’s galaxy tapestry.

Pais: Oh, I’d love to! Is she here?

Tillie: I think she and her raccoon friend Sidewalk are out for a walk.

Pais: Oh, how sweet!

Enter Sophititi and Sidewalk

Soph: Paisley! It’s good to see you again. Have you met my friend Sidewalk?

Paisley: Enchanté!

Sidewalk: The pleasure is mine. Well, Soph, are we on for dinner at the Royal Kitchen tonight?

Sophititi: Mais Bien Sur!

Tillie: Soph, Paisley is interested in your space-time tapestry.

Soph: I’d love to show it to you! Right this way. Beatrixia, Ora Z and Diana Filly were just here climbing on it.

Paisley: Oh, they must have just left.

Soph: Yes, wonder where they went.

So sweet!

Lloyd Dobler has nothing on this raccoon in love!

Gutter’s little wave with his left hand!♥

’Bout time!

Well, it ain’t the Star of David, but it’ll do.

Gutter, you creative old softy. It’s beautiful. Sophie now knows how Gutter feels, no doubt about it.

Can two found object artists find true love when they come from two different worlds? Coming soon on the Pawmark Channel! Check your local listings!

I love how clearly we see the seasons pass, showing how very long this labor of love has taken. And how perfect that her nightgown has a bridal look about it! Awww, Gutter and Sophie for the win!!

Beautiful, Gutter! Sophie certainly looks charmed.

Wonder what he plugged it into so to get the power…a nearby exterior outlet, perhaps? Would a house that old be likely to have something like that?

Or did Burt just do him a solid, given Burt seems to have a secret hidden suite of tech stuff at the ready at all times?

I love that Gutter knows how to write in cursive. I wonder how many of the younger comic readers had to ask one of the adults in their lives to translate it for them?

True love :)

Now imagine how that dumb Pawmark movie would’ve turned out if Kit had thought of something like this!

.

…not that I was watching that execrable movie, of course….

GoComics, perpetually glitchy and error-riddled is outdoing itself today for me!

Aww, Gutter really went all out in crafting that for her. He did such a remarkable job!

Anyone else’s screen blur in the last panel?

[bro] showing his love in an art form Sophie adores. Crafting. YAY!

Does this mean Gutter is finally going to woo Sophie?

Awww❤️

I wish I could give this one a metric bonkers worth of likes!

OT

Ah – this is WONDERFUL … and it even has two panels of Georgia’s gorgeous night skies! So much to love and so many little details.

Gutter is awesome!

Love is in the air ❤️

Work of art!!! Beautiful XXX

[jaw drops in amazement] Holy… Grand Gesture! What a sight to wake up to! I love how sweet Sophie looks sleeping in the window (and Starfish Squeaker is sleeping, too).

This is soooo adorable. You knocked it out of the park, Georgia! A happy new year to you and yours and your owners (the cats.)

OT: Rest in Peace, US President Jimmy Carter

I love that the Chickadees help him with everything! Sophie will surely get it now…

The essence of collage.

Great, the cat stole the Star from the Star Auto Court, now Jose Santos and Maria Santos will never find the place, their child, wanna guess his name, will not be born there nor will receive gifts from the three cowboys crossing the desert and Nick Catapoli won’t learn about human kindness.

OT: Mum-in-law is happily installed in Dunedin Hospital. :)

Everybody is a star

I can feel it when you shine on me

I love you for who you are

Not the one you feel you need to be…

I’m late with this, but just have to gush (again) over Georgia’s art and story telling. The illustration of the seasons (that lighter green of the grass makes me think early Spring…perhaps soon after Sophie’s heart was broken by Wesley’s indifference), then the next two in Summer, the fourth at the start of Fall, the fifth after more leaves have fallen, and then winter. The fact that Gutter collected these things for months, Gutter’s delight with that shiny brown ribbon (is that maybe the tape from a VHS cassette?), his thoughtful expression with “thumb” and forefinger on his chin as he contemplates how he can use the rulers, Sophie’s expression of delight and his sweet smile and little wave…it is all just perfect!

Sophie had tried so hard to analyze Wesley’s letter for deeper meaning. I’d LOVE to hear her analysis of this!
