Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 21, 2025

Who will save the day?

The vacuum is . . . unimpressed. Seamus is unavailable for comment.

Yeah. That’s gonna leave a mark!

Would it be gauche to say today’s strip sucks? ;)

Jeez, Seamus, what did you expect? Vacuums clean up dirt, and you’ve got a filthy mouth on ya!

You and me both, Elvis…

Seamus is going to give the poor Vacuum indigestion. Knock over some Pepto!

I just had the idea for a sitcom starring Puck and Ora Zella. Well, a title anyway. "DANG IT, Ora Zella!

Seamus’s day just got hosed…

OZ is such a bloodthirsty little brat.

How I wish I could use the ROFL emoji today!

I’m pretty sure the vacuum wasn’t made by Micro$oft. After all, Micro$oft will make something that doesn’t suck when it makes vacuum cleaners.

OT: Puck, not in spa

I hate it when I sweeping under furniture and the vacuum makes that FFwump sound and I don’t know whether it has sucked up a sock or something more valuable, so then I have to go digging around in the dust and detritus of daily life only to find out it was just a paper towel or wad of used tissues.

The End of the Rainbow??

Now he’s an inside agent.

I’m loving the irregular regular reticulate giraffe color pattern on the Vac.

Can the vacuum survive the wrath of Granny Bitty?

Ffwump is exactly the correct spelling for that sound. And Seamus is doomed.

A tough, but short fight.

Oh vacuum. You can’t get your three wishes if the leprechaun can’t hear you say them.

I’m laughing! I know I shouldn’t but I am.

Poor sweet Puck. He can’t bear to look.

Expletive Deleted .

I just love how the vacuum is looking like, Oh yeah? Take that, ya lil’ Punk! Ha! I can also hear the snark in Elvis’s voice. too!

And nothing of value was lost.

Ora Zella is delighted.

FFWUMP for the win.

Block 3……LMBO, LOL, LMAO !!!!!!! His feet kicking………..if only we could hear him !!!!

“It’s Momma Vacuum, Sir! She’s Gone From S*** To Blow!”

Is he stuck on the end of the hose?

I live how the “face” of the vacuum turns evil at the moment of Ffwump.

Hmmm not sure this ends well for vacuum

Get in there, Ora Zella! You can’t let that vacuum eat your snack!

So! They have good reason to fear the vacuum it seems. Trubby has no fear of the vacuum and nearly got his tail sucked up the other day. He’s a wiser cat for it. :P

Prince Seamus? When he becoming so teeny tiny? Last time me saws he was big brawny wrestler.

OT: Personal goal fulfilled. ≽^•⩊•^≼

ROFLMAO!!!!!

Seamus is lucky its just a domesticated indoor vacuum. Had that been a feral wet/dry he’d be the core of a giant debris ball!!

I had a couple of ferals outside and they would disappear when I would use the leaf blower.

I love the angry look OZ has in panel one (mostly through her eyes), not happy to be “sheltering in place” with Papa and Father. Soon to be replaced by pure joy at poor Seamus’ fate!

I see Seamus still has failed to learn Natasha’s lesson about picking on somebody his own size.

Welp, that’s the end of the rainbow for him.

Carly Simon: You’re So Vain

You visited Rhode Island and you invaded the Big Pink House

You and your friends confronted the vac, against the warning of Baba Mouse

You had your carnyx players ready and we heard your friends all grouse

And all the cats knew that this wouldn’t end well

This wouldn’t end well

And…

Move to Maine

Rhode Island isn’t the best place for you

Move to Maine

It really is a better place for you

Except for Cabot Cove!

…….

Well you were here several years ago, and things seemed to go well then

You and the Bitty visited the coffee shop (2022), we thought you would return again

But you tried to fight with Iggy and Ora Zella intervened

You’d do better to share a cup of coffee

Share a cup of coffee

And…

Move to Maine

Rhode Island isn’t the best place for you

Move to Maine

It really is a better place for you

Except for Cabot Cove!

Actual loud laughs when I read today’s strip. Perfect in every way.

Nature and Leprechauns abhor a vacuum.

I just had an awful thought. What if getting shlooped up into the vacuum cleaner was part of his nefarious plan?!

Ora Z looks like she’s really liking the show!!!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: But why did Seamus attack the vacuum? I thought they were on good terms.

Trish O’Doyle: Oh, some leprechauns can be like that. We all like our peace and quiet, but sometimes we have to stir things up.

Thomios: Speaking of stirring things up, I’ve made ice cream sodas for everyone. Choose your flavor!

Duffy O’Doyle: I’m betting the ice cream came From Where We Know Not.

Ora Z: Ooh! A root beer float for me!

Elvis-Anum: Strawberry all the way!

Puckmosis: Chocolate caramel right here!

Trish: Erin cream for me!

Thomios: And I have plenty of ice cream and syrup for anyone who wants to make their own.

Beaver Lee Cleary: Now, to understand the Conflict Lost in Futurity, we need to do further research.

Bea: That would be the 900s!

Elvis is funny and correct. The vacuum appears to be winning this war quite handily.

OT: Science Fact of the Day

Vacuum 1, Leprechaun 0.

Mama Vac takes no, um, stuff.

The vacuum’s just cleaning out Seamus’s mouth a little. This IS a family comic, after all. :P

Now I want to see Mama Vac hork, hork, HORK him out, like a giant, unsightly green hairball.

The expressions on all three in the last panel are priceless!

Don’t underestimate Seamus here. He is Irish afterall, and the Irish are, as far as I know, the only people to gain independence while losing every battle. LOL Somehow I think this will go down as yet another heroic and triumphant Irish loss.

o

…well THAT actually made me LOL…

My reaction is similar to OZ’s. That last panel is priceless: snark from Elvis, Pucky covering his eyes, and OZ having a good laugh. Thank you, Georgia, for the best belly laugh I’ve had in a long time.

Don’t count the leprechaun out! Who knows how he’ll attack from the inside? Tune in tomorrow!

GASP! Uh-Oh!

Since the cats and the leprechauns share a complicated peace with the vacuum, and since the leprechauns have boldly marched out to battle with their carnyxes, and, furthermore, since I am not a big fan of vacuum cleaners myself (well, okay, not a big fan of housework) I am with Puck — Oh GEEZ!

Whoever was asking for a continuation or more regarding the war that started on Monday, you got it!

The Vacuum is unimpressed with Seamus

First laugh out loud comic of the day !!!

Poor Pucky! “Oh, GEEZ.”

Oh well, the leprechaun has gone to where all the imaginary entities, like Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny go.

Ora Zella loves mayhem!

Seamus got caught in a dust up.

Bonus Back on the Nile

Harbormaster Antef: The Godspeed is coming into harbor.

Captain Courageous: Permission to dock.

Antef: Permission granted. Figs, do the honors?

Back at the Palace

Serfig-Aro: Your Majesty and friends, it gives me great pleasure to announce the Godspeed has put into harbor.

Puckmosis: Who is Captain Courageous guiding across the river?

Figs: I understand it’s more of a welcoming.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Then we must go at once to the harbor.

At the Harbor

Queen Cat: Queen Mags and King Cadbury of Away! Are you here for the welcoming?

King Cadbury: Yes. The Procurer’s Guild spread the word.

King Montgomery Mole: Queen Lisa and I were fortunate enough to be already here!

Iggy: In honor of this occasion I’ve done a brief opera in ten acts. Here’s my opening aria:

So far away. Did you wonder if wouldn’t see us no more?

It is really fine to know that you are safe evermore

It really helps to know that all that time you were away

All of us were pulling for you with hope and purr-ayers

Seeing you again really makes us feel good

We will not forget, just do all that you should

After being far away

One more story about being far off the highway

Waiting for the time you could return

I’m glad you finally were able

To go home again

You were so far away!

Welcome home Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore!

Panels 3 and 4 made my entire week!

And the other Leprechauns are saying “well, his name is pronounced shame us after all.”

Seamus is gonna be one irritated dust bunny when he gets out of there.

In the first panel, I notice Puck’s arm is around Ora Zella, corralling her.

In Panel 2 I just noticed Seamus is in the boxer’s pose with his Itty Fists. :-)

Ffwump is onomatopoetic excellence!

I hope the leprechaun king has a spare heir.

OZ REALLY wants to get Seamus. And now she’s very happy that he’s been sucked up!

Seamus: It’s not easy being green!

Vacuum: Mahna, mahNommm!!!

I’m trying to figure out if this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship or a raging enmity between Ora Zella and the Vacuum.

LOL!

I’m wondering if he’s stuck? Ora Zella looks like she’s going “Nyah, nyah, nyaaaah!”
