Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 28, 2023

I suspect Ares, Cat of War is drawing up a battle plan to rescue Tommy and Beatrix (his two favorite cats!) and then give those rude moles what-for!

Well, NO, in general, moles do not like cats. Just like mice, rats, lizards, spiders and just about anything smaller than a cat that scurries around, do not, in general, like cats.

If they’d sent Elvis, it would be war…

Yes, send in Elvis for instant escalation of hostilities. At least it would be dignified hostilities.

We can imagine. SUNFLOWER ELVIS ACTIVATE !!!!! I think we need more of a team of Elvis, Tabitha and Baba Mouse. Ora Z is the nuclear option.

Yes, Puck. Yes we can certainly imagine what would have happened if you sent Elvis!! Bea and Tommy were the obvious first choices. Elvis and Tabitha would kinda been the last resorts.

Maybe Baba and Mags can straighten this out before there are more frowns and blood is shed. Of course then we’d see the girls in their nightingale caps and wardrobe. I’m sure Tabitha would look real cute! I better go, the sleeping pills seem to be kicking in. Sleep well everyone.sweet dreams !

Elvis is also delightful.. but I also concede he’s an acquired taste and would’ve hissed back at the moles for several hour and is likely currently plotting their deaths, if for reasons covered in other posts on here, not unjustifiably. He’s just.. not good with people and is very selective. It’s telling that most of his friends are people he personally raised with the only exceptions being Goldie (who he’s not paticuarlly close to ), Tommy (Whose the nicest cat in all of fiction) , the white robber mouse (who he’s a lot alike), and Sophie (Who he has a ton of chemistry with and in common with, both being moody introverts). He’s just not a person that opens up easily and i’ts part of why I like him so much.

I love Elvis’ glasses and pen. Can’t wait to see what’s on that notepad.

Maybe… just maybe… they can have an improv battle. We’ll call it “Whose Lawn Is it Anyway?” with Ryan Squirrels and Wayne Birdy.

grandma and cat lived next to a vast field in Indiana……lets just say the body count was impressive with the wild rodent pop…. so moles have reasons to fear felines

OK, Puck and Elvis—remember how you first felt when the intruder came to sit on cats? Well, now YOU are the intruders.

It’s not too late. Send him !!!

Eh why not asks the source of ancient wisdom who is since paleolithically prehistoric times? That good old Baba Mousey? She would suggest how to deals with these outlawn maniacal moleafide critters. Of course she may suggest taking help from her ancient aliens pals and zaps em monkey moles from an aerial UFO attacks.

The moles have threatened Beatrix. Elvis’ ears show he is most displeased.

To be fair, Tommy does take some getting used to.

OT

When in doubt, send in ol’ Baba cat…

Elvis would have started a full-out war immediately. As it is, the moles won’t get much sympathy nor consideration for what they’ve done to sweet Bea and Tommy.

Elvis’s List:

1 Ora Zella

4 Flamethrowers

Eleventy billion bags of quick set concrete …

OT: tomorrow night 7/29 at 7:00pm EST on WWFM.ORG (on line) a program called “What Makes It Great” with Rob Kapalow will analyze 3 songs by Joni Mitchell and 3 songs by Carol King. If you love these artists DO NOT MISS THIS!!

It is time for the Delta Team: Elvis, Tabitha, and of course, Ora Zella. It’s a drastic move, I grant you, but it will cut the war by five years and save tens of thousands of lives.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: The groundhogs and the beavers are sure making for an exciting competition.

Lupinium: I see piles of veggies all ready for thwumping in!

Violet-Ifa: Don’t. Thomios and his entire kitchen will never forgive you!

Agnes-Ata: Well, Thomios might. But Sue Chef and the crew would be pretty ticked.

Lupinium: You mean…?

Agnes: Ham might be suddenly in short supply. Scones may not be baked.

Lupinium: Gotcha. There’s plenty more mischief available, anyway.

Vi: Speaking of mischief, has anyone seen Ora Z?

In the Cosmo Flower Garden

Ora Z: Ooh, so many pretty flowers! Wonder what this is.

Iggy: Be careful, Ora. That might be a sp…

To Be Continued

If they sent Elvis?Oh my! Revenge of the Moles. The Mole Apocalypse. War and Paws.

My poor Elvis… nothing stings more than barbs from his two best and oldest friends ;(

Shades of Elvis the taco sneaking up on them on Halloween. I agree that those are probably their best diplomats, although Sir Fig might also be a good option.

The Princess of Alderan, Princess Beatrix has been captured by the Galactic Empire, along with her Protocol Droid, Tommy3PO.

Elvis Wan Kenobi ( Yes, yesterday, we said he was a Windu, but He called dibs on Kenobi too ) anyway, Kenobi asks Puck Skywalker to join him on this mission to save the Princess, and help restore Freedom to the Galaxy.

They will need to secure passage to the Outer Rim, a collection of planets knows as the Yard, possibly aboard the Millenium Trevor, the ship of smuggler, and hero, Lupin Solo and his companion Burt the Wookie. The ship looks old and worn, but he made the Kessel Run in under 12 Parsecs. ( Yes; that is a unit of measure, but it isn’t wrong – when navigating in space, the closer you can maneuver to dwarf stars, and black holes without being swallowed up by the massive gravity wells, the faster you can run – so stop saying they made a mistake! )

In the meantime, the Mole-clone Wars are erupting all over the galaxy and the Planet Yard. Will the Jedi Order bring Grandmaster Tabitha Satele Shan and Goldie Skywalker to the front to battle the Galactic Empire troopers.

Given that my cats are all named after characters from Lord of the Rings, you can guess that I role play with them, too.

Elvis is drawing up a detailed plan of attack which will include him, Ora Zella, Tabitha, the robber mice, a hose, and various other implements of destruction. Nobody attacks his baby girl and gets away with it!

Where’s Baba Mouse? She’d settle this in two minutes!

Ah yes, now there would be a fun story line, Elvis the Yevgeny Prigozhin of the BCN team meeting up with the Mole version of Putin. I can see it now…………

“Breaking news her at BCN. A war has broken out in the yard between two notorious enemies. We have a reporter on the scene and hope to have an update for you on the six o’clock news. Film at 11.”

Actually, if they had sent Elvis, it might have gone well. They speak the same (sibilant) language.

Before anyone or anycat desides to decimate the moles. Listen to their side and try detente before all out war. [Moles play a beneficial role in the management of soil and the control of undesirable grubs and insects. By tunneling and shifting soil particles, moles permit better aeration of the soil, help dry out sod, and enable humus (organic matter) to travel deeper into the soil.] Penn State Extension. Just trying to stop a war in the yard.

Before we progress beyond the point of no return, could it merely be a communication issue? Does Tabitha speak “mole?”

Elvis is the hit-cat for this situation. Bye bye moles.

Sorry I wasn’t here I was in cedar point for the last few days. But now I’m back!

I used to say live and let live

(I know I did, I know I did, I know I did)

But then those mean ol’ squinty moles smashed Bea’s cake in

And made our dear Tommy cry

(inhale, exhale)

THE FUR’S GONNA FLY!

Hello Orb from sunny NE Georgia. Had the not so lovely pleasure of being caught in thunder & hail storms near Louisville on Sunday. Beautiful day driving through the Smokey Mountains yesterday. Now on to celebrate my sister hitting a milestone birthday. 2 week vacations are good for the soul! Everyone have a great day today!

Quote definitively NOT credited to Captain Kirk or Captain Picard … (just sayin’) … :)

Calmer heads need to reign. This is an investigative news report, NOT a territory dispute. News reporters, even cute ones, get insulted all the time. It’s part of the job. Let the annoying moles alone since they didn’t really hurt anything but Tommy’s feelings.

The Feline Envoy of Good Will. In my dad’s dime store you could see the faint residue of a sign above the greeting card rack, a vestige of the card line the previous owner carried. It said, “Ambassador Cards, your personal envoy of good taste.”

“Delightful” is exactly the word I would use to describe those two.

It would’ve only started a war between the moles and Elvis. None of the other cats, just Elvis. He wouldn’t want the help of the other cats anyway (until he inevitably starts to loose, of course).

Moles dig rocks and foes to kick and

Love to get their paws on some clay (to fling it)

I figure they’re about the crabbiest bunch found

In that holey yard today

Pushes may not roll the whole Tommy

And hisses do not scare the smol Bea

But hey, it feels so groovy, okay?

Elvis, oh-oh, makes moles face the music

He could really have fun causin’ a scene

Cats think he could say somethin’ that would be really mean

But if he really shares it, then BCN won’t air it

As he lays it on one very dignified line

Elvis would have attacked them with sarcastic remarks.

Someone had to say it. And of course the someone was Lupin.

Moles… typically do not like cats, no.

But many cats like moles. For breakfast, for lunch…

Is that a legal pad that Elvis is writing in? Things are starting to look serious! (0_o)

Send Elvis now. Then the moles will run for the hills.

Off-Topic

Maybe they should send Elvis…he is fluent in cranky!
