Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 27, 2020

Sorry Elvis, my money is on Tabitha.

And it’s confirmed, to the delight of all – the Gatos de Noticas team will be in the ring!

Goldie and Alice are tech crew?

The “condescending laughter” bit being transcribed made me lol. X3

Yay, tech crew!

NUNCA!! Tabitha shall prevail! Mommy’s Special Boy has no chance over She-Who-Caught-the-Red-Dot! :D (((((((((((((((((((((snuzzly virtual hugs and affectionate head bonks going out to everyone in the Orb))))))))))))))))))))))))

Is there a way I can purchase a ringside seat ticket to Tusslemania?

Let’s get ready to TUSSLE!!!

Even in her La Dama Dragon persona, Tabitha is still wearing her pearls! Classy!!

I put $20 on Mommy’s Special Boy ❤️

So the line up so far is Mommy’s Special Boy vs. La Dama Dragon … Rowdy Goldie Pepper vs. Leapin’ Lupin … so does that mean Tommy Bee is taking on El Punto Rojo?

A Mysterious Masked Moggie has appeared. No doubt there will be endless speculation as to who it might be behind the mask, but all such is pointless without an unmasking.

Now we need to see Baba and Sir Figaro! Is Natasha going to referee? She’s already got the black and white stripes, though they’re horizontal instead of vertical.

If wrestling isn’t your “thing,” perhaps you’d prefer a tea party.

Cage match, eh? I believe the cage dweller Sophie can join in.

When they captured Agnes hoping to exchange her for Buzzy, they used a laundry basket cage. I hope this doesn’t cause PTSD.

Finally remembered, it was Booker T “Save the drama for your mama.”

What will happen to Tusslemania if either Woman…gasp…..does……. laundry!? When my kids were small my laundry baskets were always full of clean unfolded laundry.

Who am I kidding? Kids are now in their 30s and gone. I still hate to fold laundry. Baskets still full. Cats love me.

Good morning, Burt. But I’m not totally sure we needed the laugh translated.

Hmm, I wonder if any of the mice will get involved in a match or if they’re all support crew? They could be Tusslemania’s equivalent of midget wrestlers

These two <——- seem to prefer running matches especially up and down the stairs and cat trees.

This is going to be good. I wonder if I can put up a concession stand there.

I have faith that somehow, Sophie is going to bring her talents to this event!

Today, March 27, is BCN’s Newspaper Anniversary Day, marking three years since the first newspaper strip was published in 2017!!

(This is not to be confused with BCN Origination Day, which was celebrated on March 12—along with St. Catty’s Day, March is just chock full of holidays!)

In celebration of BCN Newspaper Anniversary Day, I humbly suggest that those of us who do not have the good fortune to have BCN in our local papers should commemorate today by writing the local paper and, politely, urging them to carry the strip. Explain why you love it and why it would be a good fit for the paper.

Even if you have written before, write again. Even if you don’t actually take the local paper, write them. The number of newspapers that a strip appears in is critical to that strip’s success and survival. As BCN lovers, we can do no less than our very best to see the strip in our local papers!

For those of you lucky enough to have BCN in your local paper: (a) I am envious; (b) I humbly suggest that you commemorate today by writing the paper and thanking them for carrying it. Such positive feedback will help keep it in the paper!

It is BCN Newspaper Anniversary Day! Celebrate in style!

Looks like Leapin’ Lupin already has his wrasslin’ clothes on under his suit.

ALL THE ACTION

ALL THE THRILLS

DON’T MISS A MINUTE

TUSSLEMANIA!

Loving the costumes! Can’t wait for Tusslemania!

Sorry, Elbiff, I have a feeling that La Dama Dragon will wipe the floor with you.

OT: Touching Base

Are you ready for some TUSS-LING!? (nods to Hank Williams, Jr)

I think the “Ha ha” is being transcribed for Lupin’s benefit. He can’t see her whiskers and he can’t hear her voice, so he wouldn’t know the tone of the Dragon Lady’s reply unless the condescending laughter was marked somehow.

Cute fang, Elvis.

Is it just me, or does “Mommy’s Special Boy” lack a certain je ne sais quoi in the intimidating name department?

Although I am not a wrestling fan, I will always watch Tusslemania. After all, I see the preliminary’s every day between the kitten and Belle.

Es Imposible!

OT update: Wake County (where I work) is under a shelter-in-place order beginning at 5:00 today and I expect Johnston County (where I live) to follow suit, as they had their first virus-related fatality yesterday.

Unfortunately for Ember, the neighborhood cats, birds, and squirrels are not affected by any shelter-in-place orders, so she must continue to intimidate them through the window with her hissing and yowling at 5:45 in the morning.

The Battle in the Basket!

Today is National Joe Day—No, not a celebration of those named Joe, but the staff of life (or at least awareness) without which we would not be: Coffee! So let us give praise to the Noble Bean! [Genus Coffea, family Rubiaceae: several species.] Remember: Lupin only gets decaff.

Those of you who are exclusively of the tea persuasion will have to wait for your celebration. Fortunately for me, with regard to coffee and tea, I’m a gourmand.

OT: Flea infestation.

Don’t miss out on this exciting event!

Coming up: The breakthrough we’ve all been waiting for! At least we hope so!

O T but amusing. Check out Rose is Rose for today. (snicker).

All my money on Tabitha. She caught the Red Dot!

Poor Elvis. Caught in the web of poorly thought out trash talking.

The only reason Tusslemania is not nationally televised is that the average “tussle” concludes in a few seconds.

April 2 a new fur baby will be joining us. She is a silver Labrador and she gets to come home a week early. I live in Idaho and we are on lock down. So she gets to join our family and we are so excited. This is a bit of happiness in this scary time. Now the name game begins. We are so excited.

Off Topic:

Mommy’s Special Boy gets his power from Motherlove….. Which happens also to be the title of the last song recorded by Freddie Mercury before his untimely death in 1991.

The laundry basket reminds me of a time my cats were chasing each other around the house. The empty laundry basket was sitting on a chair, and as the cats ran by, one of them bumped the chair, causing the basket to fall off the chair. It turned over as it fell and landed right on top of him, trapping him inside the basket like a life size game of Mouse Trap! He was quite surprised!

GO ELVIS!!

Tabitha looks seriously scary.

¡Peligro! ¡No moleste la dragona!* :-O

*Danger! Do not annoy the Dragon Lady!

Sofie. Too. Much. Cuteness.
