Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 15, 2023

I sense somehow that Iggy is not comfortable with this!

Is Iggy going to be the calm voice of reason?

Iggy, you are all angling for a spot on the Naughty List.

Iggy in a state of terror is still somehow adorable. Wait, What are we doing? I’m with Iggy. Not trapping Santa, but I do love me some cozy PJs.

But OZ looks so happy

They lulled Iggy to the misadventure by not giving him the full details. Save Iggy!

Seems like Iggy has not been following Lupin’s Santa theory. Busy with the ornaments?

Hurry up, Puck and Elvis. Iggy needs you!

For a week and a half?

Iggy could try reasoning with his besties, but it might be easier just to hide the jar lid under the tree skirt …

Iggy needs to line up the reasons they shouldn’t do it.

Maybe Iggy’s also read The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus and remembers that Santa isn’t the ONLY one who size shifts to get in and out of houses. If they nab one of the actual fae helpers, there could be a few…issues…

I am thinking that an introduction to a new character is afoot, they might catch him/her in the jar or might even catch Santa, who knows!?

The kittens have matching PJs!

Iggy, go tell an adult. And I don’t mean Lupin.

Eh good luck with trying to nabs that sneaky shapeshifting alien cat. But alien astronut theorists is warns you they very elusive and you may be has disappointment.

To quote Chuck Berry: “You can’t catch me.”

Too late, Iggy. You are all doomed.

Preparation is everything!

Awww matching jams and kidnapping

Being an accessory to naughty-ness will still make you naughty

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Workplace of Fe-Anaro, Mightiest of the Elves and Master Craftsman

Fe-Anaro: Welcome back from Egypt, my son. Did you leave your scrolls off with the Master Scribe Elvis?

Mag-Lor: Yes, Father. Elvis did mention he and the Artisans were somewhat perplexed on how to create certain of the finest inks.

Fe-Anaro: What is their dilemma?

Mag-Lor: Their best inks are made using dust from jewels. Unfortunately, your jewels are indestructible through ordinary means.

Fe-Anaro: I see. Fortunately, I do have a solution.

Mag-Lor: What is that, Father?

Fe-Anaro: I have plenty of jewel dust from making my magnificent creations. These jewels don’t make themselves, after all.

Mag-Lor: An excellent solution, Father! In exchange, Thomios has given me a packet of tea and scones.

We know what happens when you wear cozy pj’s Zzzzzzz.

OT: Update on Trouble

Brings to mind the movie “The Christmas Chronicles” (Disney 2018). One we now watch every year. Kurt Russell rocks as Santa.

Kurt Russell rocks period ;)

Iggy is Jiminy Cricket to our two Pinocchio. Be the voice of reason, Iggy.

Iggy: “The horror, the horror!”

Oh noooo! Don’t let them catch Santa, Iggy! If any cat can reason, with the-‘Chaos Crew’- it’s you!

Even if OZ manages to catch Santa (a definite possibility, and one I kind of wish for in an odd sort of way), it will turn out okay because Iggy will set him free, and without a moment of hesitation, I bet.

Iggy wants to be on the nice list. Love the PJs.

They’re on a stake out

Show her any jar she’ll take it

Give her any rule she’ll break it

She’s gonna make her schemes come true

Doing it her way

Iggy’s worried ’bout her naughty ploys now

Ora’s gonna keep all the toys now

Any unsafe will make her dreams come true

And she’ll do it her way, yes her way

Make her Santa dreams come true, for Lupin, too

- Norman Gimbel / Charles Fox – Making Our Dreams Come True – Laverne & Shirley theme

The look of horror on Iggy’s face is priceless. Completely out of left field, I am having my annual mani-pedi. This year, it’s a gift from my grandson, Sean, his wife Ashleigh, and the two little ones Kristian (the little lad with autism), and the littler princess, Kairi.

wouldn’t shape shifting allow you to escape from the jar via the holes in the lid?

or can’t you shapeshift into the shape of string, or a piece of spaghetti?

Might catch Jules, thats about it.

Poor Iggy, he thought this was an innocent stakeout just to peek. That look of dawning horror! Love Ora Zella pointing at the open jar to answer Iggy’s question.

My aunt Nora was a very nice person, so attractive that she gave many men naughty thoughts. People placed guilt on her for their own naughty thoughts- sort of guilt by association. (They are saying to themselves, “I’m thinking this way, so it has to be your fault, because you’re so hot!” )

Not logical, of course, but Logic often does not spend time in the mind of public opinion.

I hope Iggy doesn’t get tied up in guilty association with his chaotic friends.

Oh, and to make sure Santa does not shape shift out of the jar, better get rid of those air holes!

Kidding…kidding.

Cozy PJs, a mug of hot cocoa, and a seat by the fire would put me to sleep in nothing flat.

Someone is having an attack of consious —a rare thing in journalism today!

But first, let’s take a nap. We have to get in our eighteen hours of sleep, after all.

I think I saw this story line on a Hallmark movie the wife was watching once, or maybe it was Lifetime. Anyway, instead of catching Santa Claus the main plot involved a group of characters that were members of a cult. The staked out a location where they believed a person that escaped the cult was staying in order to capture this person. Instead of a jar, they had handcuffs and van. What developed after that I am not sure. The Hallmark channel and Lifetime channel are not my cup of tea, so I probably left to watch either the Discovery channel, Science channel, or History channel.

I see Iggy was neither properly informed of the plan prior to now, and has objections to it.

In Panel 1, in front of Lupin’s mic, I see a barely visible little wave from Iggy, with TBs!

Let’s give them plus marks for watching from under, rather than in the tree!

Is there any more room for the Christmas stakeout? I want to join in, too!

Poor Iggy. The horrifying realization that he’s been led astray by bad companions. It’ll be okay. They aren’t really bad. More like … naughty.

Maybe we should trust Lupin, that he has a plan that doesn’t actually involve catching Santa in a jar. I am not exactly sure what it might be, but they don’t actually have to catch him in a jar to prove Lupin’s theory. Though might have to to convince the others.

Iggy was NOT in the loop for this plan!

And now he’s imagining coal – nothing but coal, for the rest of his life!

Poor Iggy. I guess OZ asked him to join her but hadn’t told him the entire plan. Waiting to see Santa vs waiting to trap Santa does make a difference

Patience is rare in kittens. The human variety too.

How big is that jar exactly?

Iggy is going to “protect” Santa from Ora Zella.

Ooohhhh, the realization as to what the kittens are doing…….FANGS!

OT-Garfield

Beautiful background.

Ohmy goodness ora z. Thats one way to get on the naughty list!

Cozy pjs + cocoa + a nice place by a fire = sleeping through Santa’s visit…oh well, there’s always next year.
