Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 28, 2024

Did somebody say CHEESE?!?! Count me in!

Gambling, the sure way to a fortune!

Can Gutter see the television from that angle? Or is he there to watch another drama?

Gambling and running cheese! You go, girl!

I believe in you, Natasha!

Gambling. A tax on people who are bad at math. So go get em girl!

Gatsby and Heathcliff had very bad endings because of who they loved. And Kit and Angora are in a soap opera which allows no one to be happy for more than a few weeks.

“I left to make my own fortune.” Because everybody knows how easy that is! (Of course, it’s impossible if you refuse to try, so there is that.)

Yes, the Grumbling Room is still open (still needs to be open), so let us commence snacking! I’m not normally much of a salad eater, that’s kind of a every once in a while thing for me, but yesterday I had a sudden craving after reading @BaconBoyCamper ’s post. In any case, the Grumbling Room is open for whatever anyone cares to bring in. I still have some ginger snaps left over (they actually get better with age, if you can leave them alone long enough).

I never understood what Gatsby saw in Daisy. Wasn’t she just a pretty airhead? Kit, otoh, is much smarter, and better looking!

They are smooching! And Gutter is dreaming…

BUT WILL WE EVER LEARN WHO FATHERED THE TELEKINETIC KITTIES?

Aww!

I’m sticking to the Grumbling Room and chowing down on yuzu senbei and stollen.

Natasha, let’s talk. I need some brick cheese for a Detroit-style pizza, and no one sells it here. And if you can get me a really good deal (as in fell off the back of a truck) on a big chunk of top-grade parmesan . . ..

Is there gouda pay in cheese running?

I wonder what kind of version of Gatsby or Wuthering Heights’ Heathcliff these cats have been reading to make that comparison?

OT days of the week for cats

And what is Gutter thinking?

Natasha’s got it right. Those other stories just lead to tears.

GAAAAAH! Not Blathering Heights. Not that infernal miserable cruel tormentous torturing device. It one of the worst loathsome mind numbing tedium ever.

Say me keep getting “This website is under heavy load” these days. And now also it stop me from seeing some comics. Is you get it also or it only for me?

BoCH – panel four.

Gent, are you anywhere near the fire breathing zombie chickens?

What better way to make a fortune!!! Running cheese is a new one !!!

Gutter is watching, and we all know how Gutter feels about a certain artistic feline…

Running cheese??

So romantic! or Ro cat ic which is so much better!!

Literary references are flying, but it is Natasha’s story that intrigues me the most. Is there someone she hopes to return to when she makes her fortune?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Royal Palace

Ta-Natash: We’re heading to the Punn State Wonderful Dairy for its annual year-end sale. Who wants what?

Puckmosis: I would love a nice Brie to go with some apples and Xanadu honey.

Thomios: Some Double Cream for my new recipes, please.

Elvis-Anum: And some nice sharp cheddar.

Agnes-Ata: Avenger and Emma have agreed to take us, so we should be back by Monday. Beatrixia has agreed to look after Diana while we’re gone.

Bea: And we’ll be sure to behave.

Violet-Ifa: Of course. What could possibly go wrong?

Natasha, what are you plotting?

HATED Wuthering Heights. An unpleasant story with unpleasant, unsympathetic characters.

I mean, you could have told him that at any point in the past, Angora. Might’ve helped him out a bit.

I look forward to the robber mice cheese running arc!

[bro] cheese running. a much more harmless and family friendly version of rum running.

She plays the long game. :)

Love how we can see them kissing on TV. They really are made for each other.

Actually, I seem to recall that cheese smuggling is a thing.

Oh dear. Neither Gatsby nor Heathcliff were intended to be models of healthy romantic attachment, as the endings of their respective relationships demonstrate.

(I do appreciate Sophie specifying “Wuthering Heights’ Heathcliff,” as otherwise it would be perfectly reasonable to think she meant the orange tabby cat from the eponymous comic strip Heathcliff.)

Oh looks like Georgia got a Sap Master 5000, sappy AI line writer for Christmas. It has been programed with every story line, sentiment and line of dialogue from every Harlequin Romance Novel ever printed. Approximately 750 novels a year since 1949. That’s a lot of Sap folks, a whole lot of Sap. It also catalogues ever Hallmark and Lifetime movie as well. If Sap could power the world the Sap Master 5000 would be GOD.

Gambling and running cheese seems like an excellent ambition.
