Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 10, 2020

Look at everybody all loafed! Cuties.

Clever Natasha, always able to come up with solutions……and isn’t this a great example of inter species communication.

Ding, ding, ding! Natasha for the win!

For cats, it’s always about the chase, no matter what they are chasing.

Goldie, would you investigate corruption in the Big Pink House? Or the Barn?

Goldie, our BCN Investigative Reporter! I love it!

I love all the smiles in this one. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Yes, pick up on real investigative journalism, it’s dead in this country.

The Gold(ie) report.

Taking a bit of a breather from writing about a mystical creature who is currently in the form of a cat. Normally she is human… but she is investigating. She is watching a huge family of children running around their home being typical children. For her… it is foreign life style. She is slowly waiting to sneak into the home to leave a gift for one of the children.

For me… most times… I’m trying to make sure I picked the right words. So… there is a bit more to writing than reporting and detectives. Meow! ;)

What about pouncing upon mice and eating them? Be a cat!

OT: Saving the dogcodiles

OT. Yen

Aww. A tiny mug in Natasha’s paws!

Mouse in the house! Mouse with an idea!

ooOoOoOooh investigative journalism

From the TV show Secret Agent: Secret Agent Man as sung by Johnny Rivers

There’s a cat who’s unafraid of danger

At the Big Pink House she was a stranger

But now she’s settled in,

You know she’ll always win

When she sets her sights on a mystery!

…….

The Detective Cat!

The Detective Cat!

You gather all the clues and solve the mystery!

…….

Beware the items you gather when you take them,

They may belong to someone else, don’t break them!

You try to do what’s right,

But end up in a fight

When you gather clues to solve the mystery!

…….

The Detective Cat!

The Detective Cat!

You gather all the clues and solve the mystery!

…….

Helping to solve the mystery of a big mess,

You still need to ask Lupin for forgiveness,

You find it such a breeze,

When the Mice are taking cheese

You’re on the job and gonna solve the mystery!

…….

The Detective Cat!

The Detective Cat!

You gather all the clues and solve the mystery!

I don’t know what it is that makes me love this so

I only know I never want to let it go

I’ve solved some things, can’t you see?

And ever since it’s kismet, it’s got a hold on me

It happens to be true

I only wanna deal with clues

Now, listen Goldie

We just know there’s mystery everywhere

As long as you’re solving puzzles, you don’t care

‘Cause you started something, can’t you see?

And Natasha has a great idea, allegedly

It’s crazy but it’s true

You only wanna deal in clues

No matter, no matter what you do

You only wanna deal in clues

(“I Only Want to Be with You” / Mike Hawker and Ivor Raymonde / sung by Dusty Springfield)

Thank goodness cats dont actually drink coffee from mugs, this would be a huge mess. Plus they would be so picky i cant imagine being their barista

We’re onto something here…

Gould Goldie’s efforts convince Elvis that mailmen are real? (I suspect he still has doubts, despite Beatrix’s rescue…)

Isn’t all journalism “investigative”? As opposed to “factitious”?

I called it right yesterday! =dancity dance dance=

I got a bit behind in my reading of Auntie Acid. Love her kitty prayer:

Ooh! I see a new BCN office about to be born!

I can never get the names of the Robber Mice straight, but if I remember right that’s Agnes.

I mean, we all knew it was going to go there eventually…

I KNEW IT!!

Good idea! So many things, in the Big Pink House, need investigating! Like, were are those delicious cat treats kept and also, BACCON!

I thought Natasha was on a table and Lupin had his chin on it, and then I realized Lupin was the table.

Beware, and always beware, those who wish to tear down a nation’s free press. They want to operate in darkness and feed you their lies.

Yeah, too bad not only is there no true investigative journalism, but there’s no actual “journalism”, as in objective reporting of facts. Now it’s come full circle back to opinion pieces passing for “news” — yellow journalism just like the bad ol’ days.

… From the Mouths of Mice!! :)

sure Goldie, take up investigative journalism! this way you can solve mysteries and we can watch you do it.

Today is:

The birthday of Ennio Morricone and Neil Gaiman: Both creative ground-breakers and creative geniuses. Hoppy birdie two mews!

USMC Day: On this day in 1775 the Second Continental Congress did one of the wisest things done by any legislative body: They created the Marines. Semper Fidelis.

Windshield Wiper Day: On this day Mary Anderson received a patent for the windshield wiper, allowing us all to see the light …

Area Code Day: On this day in 1951, a lot of long distance operators started losing their jobs. However, you still needed an “alleged di-em” to make a local call from a pay phone. Remember those? And Lilly Tomlin?

Sesame Street Day: The day the show premiered. It isn’t easy being green, blue, violet, or any of the other colors, but those muppets did it, to the benefit of all children, young or old.

Vanilla Cupcake Day: Vanilla, while a nice flavor of itself, is much better as a compliment to other flavors. At the risk of being branded an infidel, I think it is even more versatile than chocolate … What am I saying!? Coffee … yes… that’s it … need more coffee … Now, what was I saying? Oh yes, vanilla cupcakes … always better with chocolate frosting … and perhaps chocolate creme filling … and chocolate sprinkles …

lol this is funny

Hey, I called it yesterday!

Not really, I just suggested the idea. Georgia already had it in mind. She had to have, that makes more sense than her reading comments and seeing folks post that idea then rushing overnight to draw today’s strip.

I suggested it yesterday, too. Comment #4.

It is nice to see that Goldie and Lupin can get along without a lot of major drama constantly.

Nothing like mice for sage advice.

Natasha has the right idea.

OT:

OT:

Today is Marge (Margo from Germany) ’s birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARGE!!!!!

I hope Goldie takes up Natasha’s idea! Just think — one day we may all be present when she receives the Purr-litzer Prize for Feline Investigative Journalism!!! Oh, frabjous day, calloo callay!

Jora has discovered a way to get Reboot (aka Houdini) back in the house when he escapes. She props open the front door just barely wide enough for him to squeeze through then bangs a couple of tuna cans on the front porch. If she then goes inside while banging the cans, he comes running. Even outside isn’t worth missing tuna water.

I’ve wondering for awhile about that: BCN Investigative Reporter Goldie!

Oh, there’s a thought!
