Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 30, 2024

Tum one needs a belly good reason to be up so late…

My belly also demands ice cream, with sprinkies. And there’s just no reasoning with your belly. It is the spoiled child of your body.

Since I stayed up so late, I get to be the first to say BoCH and RSoOZTB!

I actually had ice cream for dinner. Cherry Garcia and chocolate. So I would say OZ can have ice cream, too.

My belly frequently demands ice cream, sprinkles very optional—and there is NO reasoning with it.

Offer the belly a nice crunchy carrot.

The Tortie Dreams of Midnight Ice Cream could be the title of a children’s picture book, maybe something akin to Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen. I can see Ora Zella, armed with a big spoon, chasing after huge runaway scoops of ice cream, screaming for sprinkies.

Look at all the toe beans in panel 3. The squeeers are gonna lose their minds.

Wouldn’t it be more feline to say:

Little kitty up WAY past bedtime.

Ora Zella, it’s two minutes to noon!!

OZ should be happy she’s not a diabetic. I must ignore my stomach’s request for ice cream.

My cats would want mice scream.

LOL, and here I am reading this at two minutes to midnight!

I also stay up way past bedtime, if you couldn’t tell. :P

The hands that threaten doom

Chaos comes in one whole package, not pieces.

Well … at least she’s honest.

Is that a tea bag tag hanging over the edge of Lupin’s mug?

I’ve been up since 10 pm and I’m not a ice creamer…please do not hate me!! I prefer yogurt!

Have I missed something about OZ’s right paw all this time? Am I only now catching on to bonus toe beans? Or is there something I’m not reading right?

I love the “Papa” from OZ. Watching him raising the kits makes me wonder what it was like for Elvis and Puck raising Lupin. That would be a fun flashback. Like we’ve seen glimpses of Elvis taking care of baby Puck.

Panel 4 shows us OZ is self-aware.

With SPRiNKiES!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At Floofnet the Joyous’ Culinary School

Beatrixia: That was a delicious breakfast, Floof. My compliments to you and your chefs.

Floof: Always a pleasure. I’d like to go back on your return trip. If a Thing is going to happen, the more chefs the better.

Bea: I’m sure Thomios and Sue Chef would be delighted to see you.

Violet-Ifa: And maybe your sous chef Patrice Possum would like to come.

Ta-Natash: Sure. Her cousin Obadiah Opossum would love to see his Cousin from Down Under.

Kara Camel: Everyone ready? Off to Afar.

Meanwhile, Back in Egypt

Puckmosis: I’m glad Baba-Stet is here to show us how to prepare for a possible Thing.

Iggy: We learned a thing or two at sea about Things.

Elvis: First and foremost, prepare the meal!

Iggy: Exactly! Your pirate corsair training serves you well.

Puck: Here’s Baba-Stet. Baba?

Baba: I think the best thing to do right now is go on a journey up the mountain.

Elvis: And do we pray?

Baba: We can. But then we order our favorite sundaes from the Kat Kiosk.

OT

Ice cream is bad for cats. Goes and sleeps now silly little cat.

There’s nothing wrong with Ora Zella, that military school couldn’t fix.

Hmmm – ice cream for breakfast – it’s a thought.

Kitty tummy-clock a bit off! (But she is so cute)

…so WHAT is going to happen at midnight, on the first of October? Suspense and anticipation!

Why is Ora Zella calling Puck papa?

Why does she call him poppa?

And just like that I’ve got an old Iron Maiden song in my head

Better get on it. Ora Zella might turn into a gremlin if you wait until after midnight.

I see we’ve temporarily stepped away from the glitch storyline. . .

I thought you were not supposed to feed toiseshells, after midnight! P.S I just realized the word- he ll, is in their names…that would explain a lot!

Wow. Me and OraZella have the same belly. :)

Oh, ok, ice cream it is!!!

You’re going to be too tired for the 3am wrestling match..

Truthfully, few bellies ever do.

Love Ora Zella.
