Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 14, 2024

It’s almost as if Mr. T. is doing it to spite “The Memory” of his “Dead” Wife”, as much as Kit Chase.

I love Bandit. So, uh, DID you bring Paisley with you, Angora?

Gee, I wonder why Bandit is so curious about whether Paisley came with her. ;-)

OT 2025 BCN calendar

Paisley bought them the plane tickets to go home.

The perfect wedding gift. Property. I am not sure why other cats do not give such marriage gifts.

Blast From the Past December 14, 2015

The cats got it better than I ever will…..

Obveeously that steenky mall-odorous Mc Fatcatface fur-fiend father of hers is has mall-a-fide intentions.

“He would never”? He’s easily that mean.

I must have a hat like Angora’s. I wish she had an online catalog where I could order one. I do have the green eyes to match, but not the pink nose. Still, I think I could pull off the look.

I love the holly sprigs at the corners of the panels during this Special!

Opening the bag, here kitty….

Sorry, Gent! I thought that McColl34 was going to open it, and he obviously thought I was going to open it. A tragic misunderstanding , considering the delicate state of your stomach. But it’s open now for all who wish to avoid this tawdry tale of Taggertian treachery.

Bandit, stop poking holes in the plot!

“Broke” – does Angora put this in quotes because she has no conception of what the word means or because the Taggert idea of broke is different from the average cat?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: Baba-Stet and Wicket are here?

Beaver Lee Cleary: Yes. They arrived yesterday to watch the basketball tournament.

Iggy: Great! My alma mater is invited.

Bev: Where did you go?

Iggy: I went to Redlex University.

Bev: What a coincidence! I went there back in the day. It’s where I got my library degree.

Iggy: So they could be playing the Temple Owls and the New Villa Wildcats.

Amon-Merchant: It would be great if we could take in a few games, but we need to get back to business.

Azibo: But I wonder if our university is playing.

Bea: Oh, where did you go?

Amon-Merchant: Where else? The School of Hard Knox!

Mr. T will find investors to scam and make money off of after he declares bankruptcy.

OT:

Okay, Bandit is now competing with Paisley for my favorite Our IX Lives character. He is great in this one!

“Also, a mall sounds super expensive to build-”

.

Just cheap out at every turn and use “connected” contractors!

Talk to Father- talk him out of the project!

What is all this is also a plot on Snowball’s part to lure Snowbelle out of hiding? Will she come out to save the day, or am I getting ahead of the plot and myself?

Yes it is, malls ARE expensive to build, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to proof Taggart’s not broke, as it’s not unheard of people going into debt to build something, with the hope the eventual profits coming after it’s up and running will more than pay off that debt later.

I don’t think it a very smart business practice, personally, but it’s one I know that happens.

AND operate. The mall near here, where I used to work, has had the electricity turned off for nonpayment nine times this year.

OT: Bye mom…

Would someone please provide a Cliff Notes version of this story arc—is it a tv show?

I have made a major accomplishment today. I got dressed. For the first time since last Monday. Which is when I tested positive for Covid. I’ve mostly been in bed or on the couch for the last 4 days. I’m finally starting to feel a bit better. My main symptoms now are coughing and little energy. I managed to get a load of clothes in the washer, but I have to take things slow and rest after every time I do something. My appetite seems to be coming back a bit, too. (I’ll be annoyed if I didn’t lose a couple of pounds.) Now I have to go try to make up my bed. It’s change the sheets day.

I had wondered about that. Even in a soap opera, you can’t use amnesia as collateral. :)

I certainly hope she brought Paisley along. Her psychic ability really comes in handy.

The veil between this universe and that of Sally Forth is thin today.

Little does she know that Father has taken up with a slinky little Persian number of a cat, who pretends to love him, but is really after his kibble and bits, as well as anything else she can con him out of. The slinky little Persian has Father wrapped around her little toe bean, and he will do anything she asks. Father doesn’t know that the slinky little Persian is in cahoots with a wily and criminal minded Tom Cat who covets the orphanage, tree farm and the slinky little Persian all for himself.

The slinky little Persian has also been spiking Father’s kibble with catnip, so as to keep him pacified and under her control. What or what shall our Heroine do? Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of The Most Ripped Off Christmas Story Ever.

Thank you, Bandit. That’s what I was saying.

Bandit being the Greek chorus in the background…

Cute hat.

Wonder if mom actually left it to Angora

If I’ve learned nothing else from the book ‘Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success,’ is that so long as you or your family have a good relationship with banks, they will lend you a crap-ton of money to fund capital projects even if you’ve got very little collateral or liquidity.
