Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 20, 2025

So, not quite a void level of snow?

At least Tommy looks like he’s warm out there.

Okay…

IT’S TOMMY!!!!! He is the real deal sweetheart! And there’s no wondering about it.

Cool!

I miss building snow forts in WI.

Ok, I know Georgia submits these in a few weeks (months?) in advance. How did she know?

I’ve missed Tommy. Such a sweetheart.

TOMMY!!!!!!!ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪

The old oak behind our house has a few hefty dreys built among the branches. I saw one of the squirrels climb around the limbs, harvesting dried leaves directly from the tree, and haul the material back to bulk up its nest. It snowed a few more inches today, laying a fresh layer on top of the 6 inches we got last week. The temperature is supposed to drop down into the single digits tomorrow night, so yeah, that was one smart squirrel.

I just had the melancholy memory both the real cats here are gone ..with my heart being warned that they still live eternal here and in our hearts.

Possibly/probably snow tomorrow night for us here in Central Texas. It could be bad. We have to prepare as if it’s going to be…

No! Not more snow!

Sigh this climate change really bites. We haven’t had a decent winter here (south west Sweden) for over 10 years. We get 0°c and a slushy rain/snow then the next day the fog comes in and melts what little snow we got.I miss the 1m fluffy snow fall of the Canadian Siberia (Alberta )

It looks like Alice (of today’s Cul de Sac) was successful with her spells.

Keep Lupin in!

Hmm. Those footprints in the snow look….ominous.

Whatever you do, Tommy, don’t get lost!

There’s always something really funny about pets in snow.

Watches out for em snow leopards Tommy.

Lupin wouldn’t even have to be nekked to get lost in that.

Mid-Michigan, snowed yesterday, snow today, -2 on the thermometer right now and colder tonight and tomorrow with more snow…Poor Beau just sits in front of the door and looks at me like, “Are you nuts?”

Well Rhode Island did get snow overnight :) We only got about 5 inches in NH. We never get “real” snow anymore.

No snow here in Wisconsin. It’s cold! -3 with -27 windchill!

No snow in our forecast, thank Ceiling Cat! Very cold, though. It’s -22C with a wind chill of Cat knows what! The cats and I will stay in where it’s warm!

I don’t like winter and I don’t like summer. I’m more of a spring and autumn kind of guy. :-)

So much white. Just makes the green stand out more, which makes this one pleasing to my eyes.

Around here if there is any forecast snow the shelves empty of bread, milk and eggs. So everyone is having french toast?

Tommy Looks so cute with his winter sweater and hat!

Last week St Louis area had l l/2" ice with a blanket of snow to keep it on the ground for a week—all gone now but its 9 degrees.

Swan Eaters is supposed to restart today. Alas, I have not reread the old one (two years worth!) so I can’t read the new one until I’m caught up on plot, characters, etc. Advice to all newbies here. Read the old Swan Eaters because (a) you’ll be lost on the new one and (b) Most Important, the old one is a lot of fun.

Meanwhile, here in eastern Idaho, it’s been an alarmingly lean winter so far. We’ve got snow, but not nearly as much as we normally would by now, further compounded by the fact that until the past couple of days, it’d also been unseasonably warm.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

On the hill, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight,

We’re happy with delight,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the pack rat,

Here to stay is a goofy cat

His report is so long,

As we go along,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He’ll say: Are you married?

We’ll say: No man,

But you can do the job

When you’re in town.

Later on, we’ll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid,

The plans that we’ve made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he’s a circus clown

We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the raccoons knock him down.

When it snows, ain’t it thrilling,

Though your nose gets a chilling

We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

So far, no snow in our forecast here just outside Seattle—likely none up toward the foothills NE of Seattle either, which will disappoint the Boy and the Girl.

there’s some good now over here in massachusetts. we havent had this much snow in years

I just got finished shoveling out from our winter wonderland. How many more days until Spring?

Everybody be careful and don’t do stupid things in this weather.

A live report with Tommy is always delightful! Who could possibly resist him?

Tommy, you’re supposed to be on a leash. Get back inside!

Hey to the Woman, it snowed here last night too! It’s blindingly bright out there.

“There’s nothing outside!”

Here in Spokane WA (east side of the state) there’s no snow but it’s very cold: 12°F right now. Everything is covered with a layer of frost.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Ora Z: Elvis, did you ever see the Land of Ice in your travels?

Elvis-Anum: Yes, I did. That’s how I found out about fire and ice together.

Ora Z: What’s ice?

Elvis: It’s water that’s been frozen. When we go to the Kat Kiosk in the mountains for ice cream, they use ice.

Ora Z: Where’s the fire?

Elvis: They have mountains called volcanos that spew fire, and water spouts that are boiling hot. They’re called geysers.

Ora Z: Just think. If we had geysers here we wouldn’t have to wait for tea.

Elvis: I think they are a bit too hot to make tea.

Enter Thomios

Thomios: Someone mention tea?

Ora Z: Me! Me!

Elvis: Yes, a spot of tea and perhaps a scone would not come amiss.

If you are in the path of the storm, batten down the hatches, stay safe and warm. Wishing all in its path good luck and hot chocolate!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

OT:Hitting old man winter below the belt.

It’s a winter wonder land. Snowflakes keep fallin on my head

A snow loving cat. I know, it’s Tommy.

Happy National Appreciate a Dragon Day! ♡〜٩( ˃́▿˂̀ )۶〜♡

Lupin should have reported live from the cene and then the joke could be he’s invisible.

OT: rs204 (Robert’s) surgery

OT: GC glitches

South Texas may be getting snow tomorrow morning. “South” as in so far south, Mexico is just minutes away.

We Southerners ain’t built fer snow.

Good to see Tommy again.

Brrr, it’s already below freezing, and the main water pipe to my house is either frozen or burst, apparently on the city’s side. Retribution for not washing my hair this morning. Anyway, I’d already taken the usual precautions of filling the tub, laying in a few gallons of drinking water, etc. A neighbor turned off the water at the street side. So now we wait.

Sad news Orbstirs: My Ziggy went over the Rainbow Bridge at about 9:00 PM January 20, 2025. I am heartbroken. Considering my age, she will probably be the last critter I will share my life with.
