So is Angora going back to the big city or will she decide to stay in town to keep an eye on her new property. In the Hallmark movies the woman from the big city usually ends up staying in the small town to be near her new love.
Merry Christmas to The Woman, The Boy and The Girl; to Puck and Elvis and Lupin and Goldie and now Iggy and Ora Zella; to Tommy; to Georgia; to all the other characters too numerous to name; and to the Orb!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it and happy hump day to everyone else. Georgia, I hope you and your family have a great day and thanks for the gift you give us every day!
Wait a minute! Is that will legal? It looks like it was signed by somebody named Georgia Dunn!
Maybe we should just assume that she signed as a witness? In any case, it seems she just sold it to the rich one in the family, the self made millionaire (billionaire?) fashion mogul, who has vowed to protect it forever.
However, since I am paying no attention to this movie whatsoever, it’s time to regather in the Grumbling Room (If any of you actually left), and continue the Christmas Eve feast into the Christmas Day feast!
My ribs were a great hit and are now gone (hope everyone got some). What do we have for the feast today?
A Very Merry to the Orb! BUT …. I wish the people in my area would stop shooting off fireworks. It started around 10 pm and was quite long and loud, almost July 4th in its intensity. I thought the magi gave frankincense, myrrh and gold — nobody mentioned anything about Roman candles!
so, wait, does this mean that snowball really is broke? did he bring angora back to get money from her? if so, he really went about it in the worst way. of course he’s not very smart. and where are Brad and Mittens?
Yay! Merry Christmas! Also, I want to say, that today is 10 years since I translated Breaking Cat News on russian! Every morning I stand up and my first think in the head was not about drinking coffe but open BCN for the new comic page. Thank you, Georgia, for those beautiful 10 years!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, Happy Wednesday to those who don’t! And, happy Social Security day to those who celebrate that, too! My clowder got their toy bin topped off and a giant wicker giraffe scratching post.
Merry Christmas to my fellow Orbsters. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much, new job has kept me busy.
Hyphen has settled in like he owns the place. He’s definitely an orange cat (his day for the single brain cell has yet to happen). We call him Wreck It Ralph often.
Frenchie is a busy cat always running errands. He stops for a quick pet, but then off he goes. We are unsure of the businesses he runs, but they must be important to keep him so busy.
Smudgie has pretty much accepted the boys, as long as she keeps control of our bed at night
I posted a photo of the boys sharing a moment early this morning that my boy sent to me. It’s my first Instagram post, lol. Look for Elizabeth Kesson.
Merry Christmas to everyone. May peace, love, and happiness fill your days.
Merry Christmas everyone! May your day contain the love and happiness of the Taggert sisters, Kit and Bandit, Paisley and the telekinetic kittens of unknown paternal lineage, Nimble (and his and Princess’ many kits), the orphans of the artificial tree farm – and none of the naughtiness of Snowball, Dr. Mittens, and That Guy Brad!

Beatrixia: Wonderfully! Can you hear all the squees?
Lupinium: What a lovely program. And afterwards to tea and scones!

Merry Christmas to everyone on the Orb. Another eventful year passed, and another is in the offing. Here’s wishing each and every one of you the best of the season. I look forward to typing with you every day.
Merry Christmas to all the Orbsters. While I read several other comics here, BCN is the only one that I read all the comments on. I don’t comment a lot myself because I’m usually reading during the few minutes I have between the time I get to my office and the time I’m supposed to actually start working. But the people of the Orb are the nicest, wittiest, friendliest and most helpful commenters on the web. Very seldom do we get a nasty commenter and when we do, they usually get chased away very quickly. So I wish you all the best and hope that you all have a good day, whatever that means to you.
Ooooh! Big City Kitty Billionaire fashion designer! Well, Snowball Taggart – let’s have a Christmas toast to all those tiny hats and shoulder pads! (I am tempted to stick my tongue out at him, but that would be highly undignified, and Elvis would not approve.)
Kid bro & SIL’s cat Keira, who’s staying at mom’s with me while her h00minz are out of town, wakes me up around 6am, demanding attention & walking on me. I give her lots of skritches but I think, too early for breakfast, Keira…she jumps down, I roll over, she jumps back up on the folding table next to my recliner. Table collapses, sending things flying & scaring her half to death. All right, Keira, you win… I stumble to the kitchen, dish out some kibble, then back to the recliner. Too early to get up, finally got back to sleep 8ish & woke up 11ish.
Yes, I DID ask for it…SOOOOOWORTH IT for the chance to get a rare, proper kitty fix…
Happy Holidays everyone, especially Georgia and family! No matter what you celebrate, may your homes be filled with joy and light, and may the New Year bring more of each.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah. and Happy Holidays, to everyone in this beautiful orb! Thank you Georgia, for your wonderful comic strip! Thank you also for my new followers and supporters on Patreon! Thank you!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, and a happy, loving, peaceful Wednesday to all! Thank you so much for tuning into our broadcasts and enjoying my stories and jokes! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
It looks like this story is wrapping up faster than a last minute present bought for your annual office Christmas lunch that you conveniently forgot about. But of course, the quality of the Pawmark channel offering is MUCH more elevated than the gift options one could find at the corner deli/mini-mart/gas station.
What I want to know is…. When are we going to get back to “Unrequited love! The longing! The ache!” ?

It has been a lovely day here on the prairie even tho our small amount of snow is melting. The clowder got a lovely box of assorted cat toys to chase. So far 5 are still in the box and the other 7 are either underfoot or under furniture. They are the small scale toys we could not have for them when we had dogs; for dogs they would be a one bite choking hazard.
The People had fun watching the cats play and then headed for church. It was a lovely Christmas morning service with lots of carols and the beautifully decorated sanctuary and narthex. Quite a good turnout too considering there were two Christmas Eve services too.
Wishing everyone a wonderful winter holiday of any and all kinds and for those who are at work in essential jobs, a big thank you!
While Christmas Day is winding down and passed in other time zones. I truly hope everyone had a great day however you celebrate. I thank Georgia for gifting us this great comic and may she have many many more stories to tell. I echo many others that I am so glad to be a part of the Orb. Long Live the Orb!
