Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 23, 2023

Poor Lil Iggy looks so scared! but he hasn’t let go of his pom pom. and I love him over Elvis’ shoulder.

Hahahaha! Poor Iggy is SO cute; his little face is all red from guilt.

Yes, Elvis. In the first panel you are definitely ignoring the cause of the pom-pom formations.

Uh oh, Iggy seems to want to say something…

Extraterrestrial cat, with an alien blep?

What does Iggy know, and when did he know it? Also, love the alien with cats-paw eyes, cat ears, and a blep.

Are those really pom-poms? or are they actually UFOs — unidentified fluffy objects?

Pssst … Elvis take a cue from Lio and charge admission!—https://www.gocomics.com/lio/2023/02/23?ct=v&cti=2248252

Elvis with his conspiracy theories ever at the ready. ALIENS! I think his alien is closer than he thinks!

OT: typographical help, please

Perfect example of Occam’s Razor. It’s simple. Aliens. It has to be aliens.

I know what they are! Sphinx cats! Or maybe Cornish Rex?

Aww, Iggy, you’re wondering if you’re an Alien?

The truth is out there, Elvis! #TrustNo1! ;) Elvis, I think you should cover a window with an “X” in masking tape, and perhaps a certain bird from “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” will come to meet you in a deserted birdbath and tell you truths too horrible to speak of.

Sweet Iggy hasn’t asked for much since he arrived at the BPH but he just loves pom-poms.

HA! See? See? ME HAS TOLDS YOU this since MONDAY itself!

Poor Iggy. He looks worried.

OT: 21 years!

Have the cats forgotten that they’re all descended from the alien cats who came to ancient Egypt in 3500 BC from the planet Thuban 9? https://youtu.be/whRgzBcrcVg

Repeating post from last evening…interesting article

Just read an article in the newest National Geographic about the Rainbow Bridge. An art historian from Arizona, Paul Koudounaris, has tracked down the original author of the Rainbow Bridge poem. Her name is Edna Clyne-Rekhy, an artist. She wrote it in 1959 at age 19 after the death of her family Labrador Retriever, Major. The article has photos. I’ve never seen any representation of the poem/story with an author attribution.

G, A, F, (octave lower) F, C.

I do like it when Dad cat Elvis goes off on a tangent.

He wouldn’t believe in the mailman but he believes in aliens?

Awww our poor boy IS behind it and is now worried his dad thinks he’s an alien. Also have to imagine burt is sighing oh so heavily as he puts up the crop circle graphic, as he and elvis clearly had some hilarious offscreen fight about the aliens graphic forcing elvis ot make his own phsyical prop, and Burt just.. had to have that crop circle ready and hope Elvis would never force him to actually put that on a broadcast.

Uh oh, I think you need to interview Iggy, Goldie!

Albert would line up his toys on his downstairs scratch mat and preside over them. We called him “The General” on those occasions.

Lil pirate cat jus’ wanted to play with the fluffy balls. Obviously his quirky habits are unappreciated there, and he is being deprived of his playful and artistic expression. I will take him, thank you. /packing a carrier and lots of round fuzzy toys/

Those aliens look suspiciously like the zombie rabbits from the lab Natasha was in (https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2021/10/08?ct=v&cti=2617492). Of course, that’s probably the most alien thing any of them have encountered, so it makes sense.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Ora Zed: Ooh, I love running through the Zoomie Zinnias! Hello, Miss Bee gathering pollen! What’s your name?

Bee: Hi! I’m Melpomene. I represent tragedy. You can call me Mel.

Ora: But you seem so happy!

Mel: That’s right. My message isn’t that we should be sad all the time, but tragedy is a part of life and we must embrace it to live life to its fullest.

Ora: I like to live life to its fullest!

Mel: I can see that! Wanna race?

After Much Racing

Puckmosis: Hello, Mel. Have you seen Ora Z?

Mel: Yes. She fell asleep after we raced. I could use a nap as well.

Puck: Couldn’t we all. I’ll go collect her and we’ll ride back with Avenger and Emma.

Mel: I made sure to watch where she raced so she didn’t reach that flower patch over there.

Puck: Oh, I can see why.

Mel: Yep. Those are Space Time Anemones!

Elvis with charts, not Puck? And Iggy looks so worried now.

Sue Ellen posted this wonderful poem about Georgia & BCN yesterday, but alas, it was so late that I think most people missed it, so I’m taking the liberty of reposting it: ♬ I’ve grown accustomed to her artShe always makes my day beginI’ve grown accustomed to the ’toons she sketches night and noonHer cats, her mouse, her big pink houseAre essential to me nowLike breathing out and breathing inI’m very grateful she’s an artistAnd difficult to forgetRather like a habit I might never break, and yetI’ve grown addicted to the trace of water color flairAccustomed to her art ♬

Poor Iggy feels he doesnt fit in, and the others are just discounting him. Sad

Cyndi Lauper: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Dad Cat creates an alien chart

And shows crop circles are alien art

Oh Dad Cat, dear, I just like to run

And kittens wanna have fun!

Oh kittens just wanna have fun!

…….

Goldie wants to investigate now,

And Lupin’s ready to swallow them whole!

But I just like to grab them, each and every one!

’Cause kittens, they wanna have fun!

Oh kittens, they wanna have fun!

…….

That’s all they really want

To play!

When the nappin’ time is done

Kittens wanna have fun!

Oh, kittens just wanna have fun!

…….

Some cats take pom poms and hide them away

I want to take them and bat them and play!

Make arrangements or take them and run

Oh kittens just wanna have fun!

Yes, kittens, they wanna have fun!

…….

They just wanna, they just wanna!

Pom poms are there, let’s take them and run,

’Cause kittens, they wanna have fun!

Kittens, they wanna have fun!

Poor Igula! First, they thought he was a generic monster, then Bea called him a vampire, now Elvis is implying he’s an alien.

Best cartoon alien EVER!

It’s OK, Iggy, don’t feel bad. I’ve got some pom poms on my Amazon wish list.

If Georgia is a firm follower of Chekhov’s Gun Rule, we could extrapolate: Since we are now seeing an alien, before the end of this story arc, someone will get probed.

Poor Iggy – he’s looking very embarrassed in that final panel. Go ahead kid – it’s okay to play; just ignore Elvis … he’s like that.

I think I know who’s responsible for the “pom pom formations”. Poor little guy. He’s not trying to play with them, he’s trying to make something with them.

Honestly, I think we all know perfectly well who the actual “culprit” is at this point.

So if it is aliens, what are you going to do about it?

.

Space is big. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts compared to space.

Panel 3 looks like Tinker Toys…furry ones.

This means something …

Aha! That would explain it. Hide all your pom-poms, folks!

OT: TinyKittens news

Carlton has officially been deflowered! The big creamsicle floof has been wearing a soft flower-shaped collar for a couple of weeks after having his messed-up right eye removed. Yesterday the h00minz finally took the pesky thing off him, so now he can give himself a proper bath. What a relief! (Eureka, however, is definitely NOT thrilled with being stuck in a collar after her eye surgery…)

Look at Iggy. You’re scaring the younglings, Elvis!

Oh Iggy, did you do a bad……

Aw, Iggy’s blushing!

Elvis is a natural for conspiracy stuff.

Shouldn’t that be “Awiens!?”

Iggy being so fascinated by the pom-poms is adorable. Iggy is adorable in general. And Iggy blushing is extra adorable! Though, I don’t quite understand why he is blushing..? Maybe it’s something we’ll find out later. Anyway, so cute!

Poor Iggy, he’s such a sweet boy, but he’s forgetting the golden rule, cats are never guilty.

Iggy looks guilty

Poor Iggy. Clearly he’s responsible and Elvis is making him feel bad with this idiotic alien conspiracy of his.

Crazy furball news !

I love it when the gang takes on a mystery.

Haha. This is priceless.
