Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for August 11, 2018

Ah yes, the dangers of the kitchen. You never know when those pots and pans will be on the attack!

Is Puck suckling the Woman’s fingers?

I should be in bed, but my kitty Maxie is napping on my lap on the couch. I am not going to be able to sleep in this position so I am going to have to wake her up soon. She must have read my mind she just woke up.

Something tells me Burt was also sleeping so Elvis took control of the caption doohickey!

Elvis to the rescue!

Either he’s being brave or he’s gonna try raiding the cupboard where the treats are.

Everyone should have a lazy Saturday like that once in awhile.

And Elvis will make sure those dangers in the kitchen stay unseen.

The few, the proud, The Elvis…

My dog bravely defends me from intruders, mailmen, guests, snow falling off roofs, thunder, workmen in the yard, and spoons clanged against bowls while cooking. Whatever would I do without him?

HAHAHAHA – Lupin. Love it.

Buzzy Mouse is zonked but Pengi (wait, is that how you spell it?) is ready as back-up should any rampaging pots get past Elvis.

“You flea-bitten old alley cat! You mangy, immoral hairball! You… you… DOG!” Kip was decidedly confused. “Do I know you?” Tre-C’s back was arched and her tail looked like a bottle brush. “How could you leave mom like that? TWICE! And that’s just the times I’m aware of!” Kip knew he needed to do something to diffuse the situation- at least until he remembered who Tre-C was referring to. Did she say “mom”? He thought he’d sweet talk her; it had worked for him so many times in the past. So he warmed up the purr motor and walked toward Tre-C intending to melt her with a gentle bunt. Megan closed her eyes and winced. Kip would forever remember that however well this worked with potential mates, it was considerably less effective with his daughter…

Inquiring readers want to know where Clucky Chicken is. Shouldn’t he at least be standing guard with Elvis?

Actually, it looks rather cramped and uncomfortable.

I would “like” this one twice if I could. It’s wonderful on multiple levels. :-)

That’s Elvis, our hero :)

Love the banner though I’m not sure if Burt’s being sarcastic or not about Elvis and his bravery. Footy season has started so the boys and I will be sprawled on the sofa in front of the telly – a long time Saturday tradition in my house.

Elvis, sweetie. You can quit guarding now. You belong in that pile.

In other news, I just ordered a Breaking Cat News tee shirt from the BCN store. It’s called Pile of cats. It features our 3 boys and other feline reporters. I’m looking forward to wearing it.

I wonder if that couch is one of the really deep old fashioned kind. Otherwise I don’t see how the Man could look so relaxed.

Norton, a former alpha cat in my house, had a habit of staring intently at people he didn’t know and even following them from room to room when they visited. Once a friend of mine stayed overnight in the guest room and said she was spooked by “the big cat” who sat on the nightstand where he could see the hallway as well as the bed and watched her all night without neglecting his duties to guard the rest of the house.

Lupin and Puck are still in their jammies but Elvis is dressed and ready to go.

Good morning and happy Caturday, orbsters and orbabies.

Elvis needs to relax, chill, and join the sleeping pile.

What a beautiful family, with Elvis at the helm! ♥

Followed Shortly By: Local Cat Can Still Guard Family With Eyes Closed.

A most Happy Caturday to my fellow orbsters!

Elvis the brave, the proud, the ham.

What a lovely cartoon today. I so much love this family nap with Elvis, protecting them.

5:30 in the AM, and i want to go back to bed and nap.

It’s going to be a long week.

good morning!BCN is #5 on the Editor’s Picks today!probably should be much higher, but this reporter admits his bias.

And once again, I logged into GoComics to find our favorite strip in the top 5. :)

Wonderful thunder and lightning storm soon after 3 a.m. I actually love it. My cats don’t and let me know I should do something about it. Turn it off I guess. Storm ended by 5 a.m. but I’m up for the day. I hope I don’t have to do anything today that involves coherent thought.

If only I had my very own kitchen guard cat, I wouldn’t have to worry about that darned thief Goldilocks. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

A lovely cosy theme today.

Local family exhausted. Collapses on couch. Hero cat staves off disaster.

Lupin your drawers are showing and it’s so darm cute.

This one reminds me of the one from Dec 17, 2017. When the people were taking a “light bath” by the Christmas tree. I loved that one so much I bought a print of it.

If numbers mean anything, BCN should be FIRST in the lineup. Come on Editors, Look at the numbers on the other comics! Give Georgia top honors!!! >^.,.^<

I’m surprised Elvis did not insert himself between the Baby and Puck.

While two Cats and the Humans slept

On the red couch safe and sound,

A brave Siamese kept vigilant watch

So no danger came around,

No danger came around.

Traditional Christmas Carol: While shepherds watched their flocks.

Elvis, semper vigilans!

I just realized today is Red’s adoption anniversary. He reached his paw out from the shelter kennel and said “pick me”, on Aug 11, 2010. Happy Adoption Day, little Mister ♥

Kitten report:

Slow but sure progress. Lupin and Elvis will allow themselves to be picked up with only a very slight hiss and no fussing. Deposited into a lap and given rubbies, purring and some limited blinkies are forthcoming. Even better, when hands are withdrawn, they will look up to “ask” why. And if left unattended in the lap, they are content to sit for 5 minutes or more before sauntering off.

Last night Lupin sauntered off the lap over to the food dish and spent 5 minutes snarfing. Milestone. Its the first time either of them has been willing to eat while we are in the room.

This AM we shifted over to screen door instead of solid. They can look out, the rest of the family can look in and they can link what the many sounds of the house look like. Elvis gave Lisa some hand licks this morning, and then stood up in her lap to do a nose to nose sniff.

On the down side we have only seen Mom twice this week, a fleeting few minutes at the food dish and poof? Working out a safe trapping is going to be interesting.

Heaven has GOT to be like that.

What a beautiful home scene, I agree with RonBerg13, definitely heavenly!!!

Of course, as we all know, Elvis is only really concerned about The Woman and The Baby, and possibly the Big Red Couch. The others, well, they can fend for themselves, at least as far as he’d admit.

Completely unrelated to the sleepy cute and extremely brave comic of today. Yesterday I went to see a friends art exhibition. She paints insects. I wore my Elvis pin, as I felt they would most likely be the art critic/culture correspondent for the network.

OMC, this is so adorable, it could not be any more so. Its adorableness kind of sums up the whole feeling of BCN, which is always here to give me hope in a sometimes hopeless-feeling world.

In the kitchen, it’s important to maintain a clear path to the cabinet when the cat food is kept.

The man’s legs are going to be asleep when he tries to get up.

How adorable is this? How adorable, I ask ya?

Georgia, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful furbabies and even more wonderful imagination and artistic talent with us. Since coming across Breaking Cat News I have made many intelligent (i.e. cat loving) friends very happy with an introduction.

I use this strip for my iPad’s background

Cute kitties!
