Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 24, 2024

Sunday Funday

Upsy Daisy Pucky? Yes please! Another reason to love our dear Puck!

Well, that’s one way to get a rise out of him…

Awwww, this is so cute! Love Elvis catching Puck’s microphone and Pucky’s up-baby arms.

And, may I be the first to say . . . . . PUCKY JOYOUS TOEBEANS! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Kitty roller coaster.

I see a warm loaf of banana bread in the Woman’s very near future … I hope there will be chocolate chips in it?

Only the best for our dear Puck.

“Are the rumours of magical items up there true, Puck?”

Some cats love that.

Bear and Monroe love to be carried by Grandpa.

Those bananas have seen better days.

It’s important to reconnoitre sites for future expeditions.

BoCH alert!!! And even better because it’s Pucky.

F.Y.I.: Georgia just left a lengthy but important note, well worth reading, on yesterday’s comic. I’ll read here Sunday night.

My fuzzy boy loves checking out stuff at a higher altitude.

I betcha Puck would love to admire himself up high in a tall mirror.♥

Had a cat that loved when my wife would lift him up to swat at flying bugs that she was afraid of herself.

The good life! May it never end.

Puck doesn’t seem frightened of the cursed cuckoo clock or the cursed weird hanging light. The knick-knack shelf is new to me, but it looks as though it is cursed as well.

Apparently my friend did not pick up her dogs and carry them around. When I picked up the little Scruffy One she looked concerned. But as I held him close while talking with her the look on his face was amazing.

Puck the adventure cat goes where no cat has gone before. At least not recently.

What a fun ride! Hey, is that banana looking at us?

Where’s the Sputnik light we saw on 2024/01/21?

The Carpenters: Top of the World

Such a feeling’s coming over me!

There are so many ordinary things to see

But hoisted high in the air

A new perspective is clear

And I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s all new!

Everything I want to go and see

Is now being shown especially for me!

And the reason is clear

Because the Woman is here

She lifts me up and shows it all to me!

I’m on the Top of the World

Looking down on creation

And the only explanation I can find!

Is the joy that I’ve found

As the Woman shows me around

Our love’s put me at the Top of the World!

With only three feet, Puck can’t jump as well

Love that he’s made peace with the weird hanging lamp considering how afraid he was of it at first. Perspective is everything.

Carry on.

Pure joy from Pucky! The heights are his domain, no matter how he gets there.

Hey, hey, hey, hey

His sweetness gettin’ stronger

Rides are gettin’ longer, too

His mic is a-crashin’ free

She wants to, she wants to, she wants to take Puck higher

She’s gonna take Puck higher

Baby, baby, baby, li’l frequent flier (Woo)

Lifetime thrills he does desire

The fun that does transpire

Boom laka-laka-laka, Boom laka-lak-goon-ka boom

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I love seeing Puck so happy! ❤

This was a adorable and a nice break after a fairly tense week. A good one, the six will live forever but I’m happy to move on especially with patreon previews. I won’t reveal what’s coming but it’s good.

My old cat (over 20 years old) loves to be carried around the house to look at things from that great height. It’s all different from up there.

Georgia posted this very late yesterday. Thx to rgcviper for pointing it out. "I want to thank everyone for the support this week during BCN’s real life tiny news broadcast, straight from the scene of the funny pages. Thank you for your words of encouragement, for sharing this with people and reaching out to your newspapers, and for the enthusiasm you have shown myself and my colleagues! I still have high hopes that this can be corrected and women can be brought back into other newspapers that dropped us. And if not, I’ve read through many of your comments about a discrimination case (and had several attorneys reach out to me since the Washington Post article dropped) and I agree that may be inevitable. In addition to my own legal talks, I’ll support any action the syndicates, newspapers, NCS, or other cartoonists take to hold these companies accountable for wiping out the women cartoonists from their pages. Something will be figured out. There’s no option where Americans accept that nearly 350 newspapers host less than 2% comics credited to women in 2024. If Gannett is waiting for that to be their easy answer, that’s not it. It’s especially not it when mega-sellers like Dana Simpson were dropped, and humbly myself, Will Henry, and Steenz, all of whom also sell plenty of books and have a strong readership in schools.

…To quote Thimblefist, “It will be ok, because we will make it ok.”

Thank you for supporting Tabitha and Baba Mouse (and me) speak up this week. I was very anxious at the start of the week and so many of you were amazingly kind and supportive. Let’s hope folks heard us!! On Monday we return to our regularly scheduled programming!

Puck is such a happy boy! Smudge reminds me a bit of him.

When my husband was socializing Fractal as a kitten, at the sanctuary he was dropped off at there weren’t any chairs. Chris would carry Fractal around, cuddling, and talking to him. Fractal will be seven next month, he still loves to be carried around, and will often come ask for a random hug and snuggle. He’s an imp most of the time, but there’s no doubt he loves us.

The knick-knack shelf is just dying to be knocked over by somecat.

I used to carry 8-ball in the side pocket of my BDUs (hence his name). Not as high, but he loved it.

Hamilton A. Cat, or Hammy Cat to his friends, loves to be carried around like a baby in my arms.

You should love a good climb, Puck; you are the best (maybe 2nd best now) climber in the house.

And now for another episode of: What the heck is that? What’s the green thing in the last panel next to the bananas? Bag of chips? (That’s what I usually have on top of my fridge).

I do this with Lucy. She loves being shown things higher than she can reach.

Mole invasion on Pooch Cafe: Gocomics @ poochcafe/2024/03/24.

One of my cats always reclaims the top of the fridge when the vet comes for the semi-annual visit.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: Now that we have a printing press, I can write public service announcements. I’ve completed my article on the dangers of shelves.

Puckmosis: What should we be concerned about?

Elvis: Shelves can be high up, and we have to climb up to get to things on them. That could result in all sorts of dangers.

Puck: But there is so much to see. It might be worth the danger.

Elvis: Safety first. We don’t want to take chances.

Puck: But didn’t you have to take chances as a dancing corsair?

Elvis: That was before I knew better.

Puck: But isn’t there something you would like to do that’s just a bit risky? Maybe not like Lupinium or Ora Z, but something.

Elvis: Well, sometimes I miss the sea.

Puck: I know just what to do.

Sometime Later, at the Harbor

Salt Water Cat: We’re glad you were able to join us on the fishing trip, Elvis.

Fresh Water Cat: Iggy’s coming along, too.

Elvis: Well, I guess it’ll be alright.

Later, After the Fishing Trip

Elvis: Yay! I did it!

Iggy: It’s not every day you accomplish this!

Elvis: Thomios! I caught Diem Carp!

OT: my mom & the kidney stone

i play smell this with my cats all the time

My wife has taken cats who don’t mind being held on tours of the house.

Georgia posted on facebook "Yes, today’s Sunday strip is based on real life! Here’s pictures of Pucky in his kittenhood, being picked up and shown things. (In this case a fly whizzing around the old apartment, which flew by in the second photo!) He still enjoys this, especially seeing the top of the fridge, which he’ll sometimes then gently scramble to hop on. "

This begs the question, do the other cats like to be picked up and shown the heights? :)

This is interesting! I used to do this for my kitties, too! Is it a thing? I would hold my kitty and show them around and they would look around very, very inquisitively! A dog? Not at all.
