Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 14, 2022

Lupin . . . can relate. Step one to being best buds with Iggy. Maybe he’ll give some backstory in the strip.

Of course he has a heart, Goldie. Having lost his hearing and a tiny bit of his tail, he can empathize with little boy kitty having lost half of his vision.

Stevie Wonder: Don’t You Worry ’Bout a Thing

Everybody’s got a thing

And sometimes you just can’t handle it

Always trying to run away

Looking for something, you don’t know what, but

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing, kitties

’Cause the humans are right there for you

And they know just what to do.

…….

You say you live in fear,

That you go two will go to separate places

But don’t fear, the humans know

You can trust their smiling faces and

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing, kitties

’Cause the humans are right there for you

And they know just what to do.

…….

No need to keep on running now,

Sometimes we all need a change

To start a life that’s so brand new

But you don’t quite know how to make

The changes you take yourself through but

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing, kitties

’Cause the humans are right there for you

And they know just what to do.

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing

Don’t you worry ’bout a thing!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Here we are. Floofnet the Joyous’ School of Culinary Joy.

Ora Zedd: It seems so welcoming here.

Puckmosis: It is. Here comes Floofnet to welcome us himself.

Floofnet: Puck! Glad to see you. And who is this lovely tortie?

Ora: I’m Ora Zedd. The Little O, you know!

Floof: I like your spirit. How would you like to help bake the Feast of Gratitude kibble pies?

Ora: I can’t wait.

Floof: Great. First thing I need you to do is gather the ingredients. You can find them in the pantry. Where did she go?

Puckmosis: She’s like a bolt of lightning.

Ora: I got the ingredients! What’s next?

Floof: We need to knead the piecrust dough.

Ora: On it.

Puckmosis: Literally.

OT: My Cats

Goldie, no rubbing it in. Well, OK, SOME rubbing it in…

Even when things are serious Goldie can’t resist heckling Lupin.

My tears have been jerked…2 ply tissue alert!

And legend says that, Lupin’s guilt grew 5 times, that day!

And Bea continues to get this breaking story.

OT

I thought Elvis was the rude cat. Lupin is more like—as Beatrix would say—a heckraiser.

Why did the icons that shows the number of likes, comments, shares….etc disappeared from all comics on GoComics?

Elvis – with his ear to the door to keep his paw on the pulse of news at the Big Pink House.

I had not realized that Iggy had lost his eye to disease. Is that common?

I thought the missing eye was due to an injury, perhaps inflicted in a fight. I am not on Facebook where a lot of information is posted.

I love to see Iggy smiling. He’s starting to think the Humans can be trusted, after all. Now to convince Ora Zella.

So nice to see the pensive Iggy finally smiling! He knows he is cared for, and his meds are done.

No wonder Iggy bonded so hard to Ora Zella. He didn’t have anyone else, and I’m sure he was so grateful to be included in her sphere of interests!

Excuse me, who was trying to reach under the door on Saturday? I definitely choose to believe that was care and concern rather than a dislike of being kept out of places. Iggy looks content with the care he’s received, but his best friend is missing. She will likely return to prominence with the force of a tidal wave.

I am SO glued to this wonderful story – can’t wait to see how all these different personalities are going to interact. A huge basket of thanks to Georgia for filling my mornings with breaking cat news and so much more.

We were lucky with Simon too. He only had one bad eye when we found him. Warning, picture of gnarly eye. https://imgur.com/a/sFxMaQn

So great to see Iggy smiling, and feeling safe and secure! At least, I hope he feels that way.

I don’t recall seeing Lupin’s teleprompter with his translations on it before. I do like this behind the scenes peek.

Heartwarming!

If you do not have an ‘amazon smile’ non-profit selected, please consider “Blind Cat Rescue”. A worthy group!

Seeing Iggy happy really brightens my day.

O.T. (off topic) Floyd update

From Georgia’s Facebook page….

A few months back I was contacted by a Emma Bayer, a girl scout in 11th grade, working on her Gold Award. She had the idea to write to cartoonists to ask for donations of artwork. Her plan was to auction those pieces on eBay and use the funds to help senior pets and shelters assisting senior pets. I sent her a watercolor painting of Elvis and Tommy, and you can bid on it through the link in her original post!Take a moment and check through the other pieces on auction—there are some pretty amazing familiar cartoons and cartoonists showcased here!! Wow! Well done, Emma! I hope the auction goes well!

If you tap see other items in the right side of the page, you can look at the whole group as Georgia suggests. Maybe some early Holiday shopping?

Lupin, empathy? He’s OK after all.

OT: Back from my trip

Tommy’s Woman gave Iggy his meds at the BPH instead of taking him back to the shelter. Is this a harbinger of things to come?

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC!

Lupin’s thinking how much he’s like the undead. Only the undead was lucky to have one eye saved while Lupin lost his hearing because of his infection.

The Calendar is now available on Zazzle.

It’s nice to see Iggy’s done with the antibiotics.
