Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 03, 2024

You will be educated. Resistance is futile.

I’m sure Puck will be an excellent student.

OZ would be a great librarian

Pucky, ever the good boy, has been scooped up for school. And then SHHHHH’D by Ora Zella, of all people? At least it wasn’t Pengo that SHH’D him.

And if he eats a lot, he could be as stuffed as that plushie…

Do we need to mount another rescue mission? Are there any glitter bombs left?

Pucky enjoys his tummy rubs.

Sit up straight and pay attention.

Ora Zella as the school disciplinarian! That was a turn I didn’t see coming!

I’m not a squee-er, but somehow seeing Pucky’s today make him look forlorn.

No talking in class, Puck!

OT A day without KK is like a day without sunshine

OZ is shushing him? Color me surprised.

OT: SheMc hasn’t been seen for five days

Puck has been recruited. I hope he doesn’t feel uncomfortable as a ‘mature student’ in a cluster of kindergartners. ♥

You’re never too old to pretend to learn something.

Is Pippa Fox already playing hooky?

The students are seated in alphabetical order. Puck right after Pingy.

On second thought, maybe OZ has “hall monitor” or “patrol girl” duty – she seems like the type who would let her authority and power go to her head!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the oPyramid Library

Beatrixia: Thanks for helping out, Iggy. It’s always challenging when Ms Sebyat’s Kittygarden class comes for story time.

Iggy: No problem. Glad to do it. I’ve faced storms at sea, Ora Z, and Lupinium. I can face a class full of kittens.

Enter Ms Sebyat and Kittygarden Class

Bea: Hello, kitten boys and girls. Today’s story is a classic about a peddler selling headgear, Hats for Sale.

Sometime Later

Kitten Ahmose: Can we make hats, too?

Iggy: You certainly can. We have papyrus, and decorations. You can make them any way you want.

Kitten Merope: When I grow up, I wanna be a Papyrus Cat.

Don’t get caught passing notes to the Owl.

Old Nuns, in full Habits, were not very understanding back in the day.

Puck being dragged off is so sweet and adorable.

It looks like I was wrong and Ora Zella is enjoying schooltime. Or at least enjoying the shushing moments!

That’s nice. Now to teaches them cats how to catches and eats mouseys.

I’m sure Puck will find an interesting way to spin this. The Boy certainly is an enthusiastic teacher.

Well…it HAS been said that you’re never too old to learn new things, so…

Ora Zella’s SHH was really that adorable tiny kitten hiss

Don’t know much about ABC’s

Don’t know what follows 1-2-3

Don’t fear much about Ora’s “SHH!” look

Hope they get to study Pucky’s bacon book

Well, I do know that I love this school

And I know that Pucky loves it, too

What a wonderful world, so happy!

OT: Musical bro strikes again!

The Boy seems very eager to teach his classmates. I support him all the way.

Puck is now the Teacher’s Pet!

no talking in class!

Pengo & Puck Paired-up as Partners!

Puck is an honors grad from cat school.

Ora Zella is here to LEARN!

Also, Pucky has been pressed into learning. Better than being pressed into service?

Who would have guessed Ora Zella to be a teacher’s pet type of girl?

OT: Pingpong

Wait, the KITTEN is saying shh????

First grade started here last Monday. As did gymnastics, a brand-new extracurricular activity, courtesy of Mimi and Dziadziu not paying attention to the deadline for youth soccer registration.

At 5:45 last Thursday, The Girl was sure it wasn’t something she wanted to do. At 7:05 last Thursday she didn’t want to leave.
