Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 15, 2021

APPROXIMATE ZOMBIE SOUNDS OR WHATEVER.

Natasha and Violet….puttin’ them on! What an actor Natasha is! Violet can scarcely contain her laughter.

Maybe it’s a “zimbie”, you know, a fake zombie.

And the Overacting While Refusing to Take a Perilous Situation Seriously Award goes to . . .

Natasha!

Sorry Violet, her performance was just a little bit more . . . uh, over the top. Good job a keeping a (more or less) straight face, though!

The researchers seem not to have noticed that they aren’t turning green. Maybe it took more than one pill for that to happen with the zombunnies.

If Natasha wants to freak that geek out, she needs to lick his glasses!

Now go get the probe. Scientists like probes…

Red eyes

Mousie’s got red eyes

Like a wounded knee

On a blue, blue day

Red eyes

Mousie’s got red eyes

When the morning comes

They’ll be far away

And I say

Red eyes causing awful fears

Hungry for some brains

Always had red eyes

And the lab’s abandoned

Again

@GDS Mom

First, eat some chocolate. Get those iron levels up.

Now, in response to your question of yesterday, naturally She-For-Whom-The-Sun-Shines,-The-Grass-Grows,-And-The-Worm-Turns does not deign to notice the homage and tributes of the lower orders. I, however, was pleased to see so many people attend to their duties. It makes the world a bit safer for the moment. But

BRAINS OR SOMETHING.

That would totally be me as a zombie. :D

Violet is trying so hard not to crack up!! And Natasha’s jazz hands, hee hee hee.

What kind of scientists are these? They are missing all the behavior that happens at night—green, licking bunnies with red eyes. She doesn’t even know there color of their eyes before the experiment.

Quick! Lick the bars!

What do we want? Braaiins. When do we want them? Braaiins.

I’ve had a very LARGE green living in the flower bed next to my back door for the past week or so. I thought it was a weed at first. Only when it turned to look at me as I let the dog out day before yesterday did I realize it’s an almost 4 inch long, bright green Preying Mantis. I’m really glad I didn’t reach out with my bare hand to ‘pull’ it! And it watches me while I’m out walking back and forth waiting for the dog. Biggest Mantis I’ve ever seen and I used to buy them for my garden before we moved here. I’m wondering if it escaped from the same lab…https://photos.app.goo.gl/2ieNgBhffi1dYFks8

Is it almost midnight??? I sure hope so XXX

Natasha via her acting skill would fit right in with some of those epic “B” horror movies that used to be on “Creature Feature” if your area had a good UHF independent TV station (here in Tampa we had Doctor Paul Bearer in the ‘70s through the ’90s as well as the syndicated Elvira Mistress of the Dark in the ’80s), then later on cable’s MST 3000 or can still be seen nowadays on Svengoolie on Me-TV Saturday nights.

Times ticking on that “jailbreak” and time to free the bunnies, I can not wait!

Grim’s techs while away the hours

Conferrin’ with each other

Consultin’ quite in vain

As our plot we keep on hatchin’

While Vi and I are zombie-actin’ (so clever)

*ABBA: Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight)

Nearly twelve

Waiting for the wild mouse

In this cage with no phone

Now I have to act

Like a zombie bad to the bone.

…….

Waiting for

The wild mouse outside the window

As I look around the room

And it makes me so

Ready to leave the gloom

…….

While the scientists are here

I’ll do my act, it’s clear

…….

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

A brain or something like that

Won’t somebody feed me

That stuff zombies all eat

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

Some zombie stuff right now!

Maybe some nice cheddar

Or don’t zombies eat that?

I think it always had red eyes….?

Really? So much for the “observational” part of science!

Ham it up, Natasha.

Meeses, leave quickly, as the post study investigation is not typically pleasant.

Mmmartini’s…mmmartini’s…mmmartini’s… Really now, you didn’t expect me, even as a zombie, to forget my elixir of life?

Does anyone else think the scientist with the glasses looks like John Lennon?

The line from I-ROBOT about being the World’s dumbest smart guy cames to mind

M.G.B & Partners Mews

A second interview has been scheduled with a promising young candidate for the vacancy at our Firm; Mittens, Giblet, Belle, & Partners. Through an extensive search, this go-getter rose to the top of the candidate pool. He comes with impressive set credentials, and we will be issuing a hiring statement as soon as details are formalized.

In other company mews, a portrait of one of our founders, Giblet P. Cat, will be unveiled in the Firm’s lobby today. Giblet was instrumental in the success of M.G.B. & Partners and, as long as our Firm exists, Giblet will be remembered for his steadfast leadership, soft fur, and purrs.

An Intern that many of you don’t know yet, Holly B. Cat, has been promoted to associate partner. Holly will be presented in the Firm’s next book and other short stories.

That is all the mews. Again, mittens, Giblet, Belle & Partners, thank you for your excellent work.

OK, now to really sell the whole “zombie” thing, do the dance from “Thriller!”

Well, they haven’t shed their medical gowns like the zombbits do when they…turn…so I’d think that alone would be a big clue that something is not working as they planned.

Also, sounds like these yahoos are deliberately trying to produce zombies for this experiment, and again I’m left wondering what they expect to get back out of it.

Since this started, I’ve had an earworm. Being of a generous nature, I thought I’d share:

Doo da doo da doo doo,

doo da doo da doot,

Doo da doo da doo doo,

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Doo da doo da doo doo,

doo da doo da doot,

Do the Bunny Hop!

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Wondering if anyone else is thinking that Little Bunny Frou-Frou might be a model here for the Zombunnies.

Gaslighting!

Does anyone else get the feeling that Grimtech hired these two off the street, gave them lab coats, a clipboard, and a set of instructions, but no actual training? (I’m glad Georgia is not drawing them as cartoonishly evil.)

Zombie mice moan for “Graaaaains!”

Violet’s having too much fun laughing to join Natasha in fooling the lab techs.

The mouse goes unheard because its voice is too high pitched for the dull human to hear.

There are photos of Stevie and the “Mailman” on the BCN Instagram page. Georgia’s drawing of him in the comic is so true to life I would have recognized him if I’d ever encountered him anywhere!

Natasha makes a great zombie.
