Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 02, 2021

I see all the robber mice are there. Hello ladies.

(first panel chyron) “THIS IS NOT A CRISIS” yet

I’ll take “Anything Lupin is closest to” for $500, Goldie.

OMC, the mice are still in their costumes!!!!!

Yikes! Plentiful ceramic knickknacks and 4 cats…. what could possibly go wrong?!

“… and of spring’s promise beyond the snows…” (From “The Festival” by H. P. Lovecraft, actually talking about the Yuletide.)

I see a spin-off coming….Breaking Mice News.

Goldie is now comfortable enough in her life that she’s ready to break things.

Here’s the newbie to toss out this irrelevancy: Happy National Ferret Day, a day to educate people about this lively and intelligent companion animal. It’s also a time to focus on such ferrety issues as welfare, care, nutrition and responsible ownership.

And while I’m at it: California? Legalize the little carpet sharks!

LOVE Goldie’s back feet being crossed!

Anything Lupin touches, Goldie. And, Mice, put that Georgia Dunn statuette back!

Agnes/Goldie is passing as an Easter egg. Lupin/Natasha and Elvis/Violet are taking the Georgia Dunn box (or maybe rearranging their anchor desk?), and Alice/Pucky is, of course, climbing.

Those Tribble like things look unbreakable.

Lupin front paw toe beans and Goldie back paw toe beans. (For those that are interested.)

These are some clever, and beautiful decorations! Well done!

Those ornaments are destined to meet a grievous fate.

Goldie asks all the important questions. Must be a detective thing.

Love Goldie’s dainty back toes, poised for destruction.♥

Ceramics? Glass? At a place with four cats? You’re asking for it, hyoomans.

Pucky toe beans!

I am convinced that cats enjoy the breaking sound of anything that is chemically related to glass!

We need another robber mice storyline!

Toe beans galore! Puck, Lupin, and Goldie! On Goldie we have the RSoRTB [Rare Sighting of Rear Toe Beans], (which may not be all that rare as it just happened last week).

I spy 4 Robber Mice, and they are all still in their costumes!! They are hidden, like…Easter Eggs!!

Thank Cat Burt is there to tone down Lupin’s exaggeration.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

In Burt-Ra’s garden. Enter Lupinium.

Lupinium: Ah, nothing like running outside for a bit of fresh air.

Burt-Ra: But watch out for that bee!

Lupinium: Oh, hi, Esmeralda. How’s everything in the hive today?

Esmeralda: Oh, we’re all buzzing along with the pollen gathering. The Royal Procurers should be along soon, making sure Thomios has what he needs in the royal pantry.

Lupinium: I hear Thomios is preparing for the Renewal Feast with his special honey oatcake recipe.

Enter Puckmosis, Beatrixia, and Avenger, back from the Cosmos Nursery

Diana: Daddy! Uncle Puck! Aunt Bea! You’re back.

Avenger: Yep, and we have lots of flowers and goodies for everyone! Have you been good for Mommy and Uncle Burt?

Emma: She has been as good as 24 carrots and sweet as Esmeralda’s honey.

Puckmosis: It looks like there’s someone who looks just like me coming! Alice-Ata, is that you? What are you doing in my style tunic?

Alice: I’ll never tell!

Sounds like another chicken or egg thing.

Don’t do it Goldie!

Don’t be drawn to the Lupin Dark side.

The Earth cannot be flat. If it were, cats would have knocked everything off!

GOLDIE!!! NO!! GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW!!!

OT: Sad news from Hope Valley (more below)

Good times

These are the good times

Paws and frills collide

These are the good times

Bappy days are here again

The time is right for breakin’ events

They’ll get together about half past mayhem

Come tomorrow, they’ll do it all again

Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys

Girl will be girl, cute fuzzy tail unfurled

Must put an end to all stress and strife

Sometimes they want to live the naughty life

Good times

These are the good times

The Woman will not mind (?!)

These are the good times

A rumor has it that it’s getting late

Time marches on, the mice can’t wait

Shiny things abound, why not partake?

Behaving well is vastly overrated

They’ll cut and run, a little jive and bonkers fun

They want the best, won’t settle for less

Don’t be a drag; participate

Eggs on the top shelf, enough for eight, ain’t it great?

Good times

These are the good times

Leave your cares behind

These are the good times

(Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers – Good Times/Chic)

Oh, how fresh the wind is blowing!

See! the sky is bright and clear,

Oh, how green the grass is growing!

April! April! are you here?

–Dora R. Goodale

Murphy’s Law de los Gatos: The one that breaks first is the oldest and/or most valuable.

So, are those ceramic bunnies, and real tulips in vases?

The little guys in front look like soft good versions of peeps.

Goldie seems to have her hands on a ceramic egg (hopefully not a real egg)

What is the Woman thinking putting out glass decorations?

Happy Easter Everyone! (just want you all to know that as I am not near a computer this weekend.)

It’s more like…Whodya think’ll break it first?

They are in the Clowders’ Elysium! :-D

One of the very first “catification” books to ever be published, way back in the 90s, was The Cat’s House by Bob Walker and Frances Mooney. (I highly recommend it!)

They collected Mexican day of the dead ornaments and highly recommended double sided tape to keep such things safely on shelves in a house full of cats.

Please tell me the Woman isn’t going to put out crinkly, plastic Easter grass.

I’m guessing anything withing a 2 meter radius of lupin.

Is Goldie going to give Lupin a run for his money for breaking things?

Is that a Lindt Gold Bunny (minus ribbon) in panel 2? NOMNOMNOM!

Puck

I think the fluffy little things are those chicks made out of extra fluffy pipe cleaners. They are adorable and won’t “break” but can be destroyed in lots of other ways! Goldie has taken lessons from Lupin!

aww, there widdle decorations are soo cute!!!(them knocking them over however is not…)

OT: My Stories

I see why Georgia calls them “Breaking Cats.”

Lupin and Goldie have a lot more in common than they would care to admit.

Puck has the simile of the day.

I see the Robber Mice are trying to keep their April Fools gag going.

And Goldie seems to be trying to take Lupin’s place as a toddler. Are we truely sure the Boy broke Short and Stout as he claimed or did Goldie do it in her sleep and the Boy thought he did. And blamed Lupin.

Goldie has a cheeky streak, I like it.

The decorations look very nice.

Cats in the vicinity of breakable objects. Nope, nothing is going to go wrong with that!

I love the fact that the mice are steeling something next to Elvis.
