Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 13, 2024

Talk about your bad hair days!

Of all the snowfields in all the artifical tree forests in all the towns in the world, she walk’s into his!

There’s a good time to have a helicopter accident?

Kit is wondering why the boxes are empty?

It’s Snowbelle’s favorite artificial Christmas tree farm, er, forest? Will Snowball Taggert relent when he is reminded of that? Will he try that much harder to destroy it? Does he even remember her? Did he ever actually care for her?

Not . . . that we care about the fate of the ill-fated lovers Kit and Angora, or the Christmas tree farm/forest, or the orphanage, or even the orphans. I mean, we would if it were real life, or if we watched such twaddle such as soap operas. Which we clearly don’t. As I pointed out recently, we who have retreated to the Grumbling Room have sufficiently insulated ourselves from such drivel that we are unaware of even the names of the characters, much less the ongoing (and obviously doomed) (Sorry, Robin, I’m not trying to infringe on your trademark) attempts of Snowball Taggert to alienate Kit and Angora from each other.

We have far more important matters to contemplate, such as . . . um, what was yesterday’s subject again?

Anyway, we have our endless snack table to attend to. Although, we could do with a less dessert-heavy menu . . . I seem to have gained, ahem, a couple of pound since this Pawmark special began.

Then again, ‘tis the season! I need to go and bake some ginger snaps. They’re good fresh from the oven, but they improve after a two or three days, so I must make at least a double batch to ensure that some will survive for those two or three days.

With that eyepatch, he is not seeing the full depth of Angora.

And the lids stay on the boxes so we still can’t be sure what’s inside. Cookies or hats? Or something else?

Please don’t let it be fruitcake.

Hearts all around in panel 2.

Things are getting suspicious around there.

And as McColl34 points out, we in the Grumbling Room, being blissfully unaware of the absurd goings-on in the banal drama on the Pawmark Channel, are continuing our inquiries into The Great Questions Of The Ages.

Been waiting for this one, ever since I saw it on Patreon! ❤️❤️❤️

How are you feeling, Gent?

I just encountered the dreaded:

This website is under heavy load (queue full)

We’re sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We’re working on this problem. Please try again later.

Then it finally allowed me to see the comic, but when I tried to sign in, I got the full load excuse again. Took me about 10 minutes to finally get in.

Soooooooo……… when is the RIGHT time for a helicopter death ???

Isn’t Angoras mom secretly still alive and living in disguise?

At the Afar Public Library and Café

Beaver Lee Cleary: Welcome, everyone! It’s always nice to have visits from fellow librarians and travelers! How may I assist you?

Beatrixia: I’m here to see the new trove of scrolls from the Library at Meowlexandria. Are there really new discoveries from famous chefs, Bev?

Bev: There are. And I’ll be glad to show them to you after some tea and scones.

Iggy: I’ve come to see the new scrolls discovered about crafts and construction.

Bev: You’re in luck. A new scroll has been uncovered written by Timotheus the Toolcat. I’m not sure how reliable his advice is, however.

Iggy: Anyway, Iron Glove, Wally, and I can have a good laugh over it.

Bev: And what brings the spice merchants to the library?

Amon-Merchant: We need to bring spice’s to Thomios and Floofnet, but there is someone who is demanding we pay tribute to transport them.

Bev: I’ve heard of Snowfall Braggart and his plots and plans. There is someone here who may be able to help.

Azibo: Who?

Bev: We have Baba-Stet and Wicket here.

Amon-Merchant: Go on.

Panel 4, the look on Kit’s face: is he reacting to Angora’s dramatics (it’s been referred to as an artificial Christmas tree LOT, but she calls it a FOREST); Is this the first time he heard of the helicopter accident? OR … (insert more dramatic music here!) Does he know something about the supposed crash? (Could explain the eye patch.)

Was the helicopter crash “untimely” or did Snowball have it timed purrfectly?

Yes “accident”.

Helicopter accident? It sounds fishy. And we’re not the good fish like salmon or tuna. Have you had a consulting detective look into your mother’s accident?

It was murder most foul. I’m glad it didn’t succeed.

As opposed to…a timely helicopter accident?

Ooh, a reference to her mother. Perhaps that secret will come out this Christmas.

Love literally in the air with the snowflakes. Very cute touch, Georgia!

Dramatic music …..“Meow MEOW MEOW!!!”

People can never just have a normal death in these shows, can they?

O.T. Wear a hat. Use sunscreen.

Yes it was a tragic and untimely accident. I remember it well. It was a crisp November morning and one of the evil moles had tied a shoe string to the end of one of the helicopter rotor blade that for some strange reason sat in front of the artificial Christmas tree lot. If only someone had known that the helicopter had been chartered that day by station WKRP, to drop live turkeys into the parking lot of the Pinedale shopping mall. Oh the carnage it caused. But that is another story.

Of course, it should have been foreseen that such a tragedy would occur, as when the helicopter pilot went to start the engine, Mother was there and was entranced by the sight of the whirling shoe lace attached to one of the rotor blades. Being an oh so typical cat, Mother couldn’t resist jumping at the whirling shoe lace. Unfortunately Mother, being an Olympic Champion High Jumper, over shot the mark, straight into the turning rotor blades.

The force of the impact was such, that Mother was flung clear into Canada. If only she had been carrying her passport on that fateful day, she could have returned home. But being out of country without a passport, the only thing that could be done was for the Canadian authorities to deport her back to her homeland. Being a Siamese cat, so we all know where she now lives.

The moral of this story children it to always Look Before You Leap, otherwise you may not know where you will land in life.

If is any consolation, she has a wonderful job as the teacher for the King’s 106 kittens by his 39 wives.

And what could be worses than on today the Friday the 13th. A can tankerous bowel and a ludeecrous liver. And in addition to that to bears a soapy oafy oh-purr-aaaaugh. Woes. Woes. Woes.

Sorry for your loss, Angora. Grieving over a loved one is never easy.

OT: I Got it Today

My 2025 BCN Calendar, that is. Let’s just say it does not disappoint.

Do we know. Father O’Kittery’s name before he was forced to become a Cat of the Cloth by Snowball’s stealing Snowbelle away from him?

Angora always looks stunning!

I think it would be wonderful if Angora’s boxes had something in them that could be used (down the road) to counter whatever the something was in the “kibble” bag we saw with those evil minions, That Guy Brad and Dr. Mittens, in the trailer for this Pawmark special.

OT: Any news from TampaFanatic?

The Go Comics Conoco pop up add is REALLY obnoxious

[bro] the artificial tree forest brings back memories!? Things are getting worse and worse! First dad is broke, then he’s gonna destroy the artificial tree forest and the orphanage, than kit unintentionally makes things worse, and the fake tree forest brings back memories of angoras mom!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, she had already had three timely helicopter accidents.
