Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 23, 2024

Kick them kitty beans! SQEEEE!!!

Does Beatrix have extra large paws or is she holding a baseball mitt?

omc, Lupin’s tail!

Ora Zella is in her element with that acrobatic door lock move. And so is Iggy, lining up the alien symbols. Which made me wonder, what must Scrabble be like on their planet?

Fun is good! (Faster would be better!)

Puck, Goldie, and Elvis are NEVER going to believe this.

…what? Roombas from space? No, they’ll do fine with that. Lupin taking responsibility in a crisis, and doing it well? They better believe it!

Just because…

Iggy has the symbols for A, B, C, D, H, and one I can’t see well because Lupin’s speech bubble crosses it. Off to the side are punctuation marks ’ and !

Go, Iggy, go!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee All of Lupin’s faces! Especially Panel 3!!!

♪♪ It’s time to slam the door shut!

It’s time to lock up tight!

It’s time to solve the cipher

In the Big Pink House tonight! ♪♪

I’m not sure Lupin ever learnedabout the Golden Rule, but I’m pretty sure Ora Zella misheard it as, “Do unto others before they do unto you.” At least, that’s how she behave anyway …

At least it looks like Lupin has convinced OZ about the odds of taking on the roombas.

If the roombas were that upsetting, then they should have just upset them. They were all stacked up, after all.

still sending prayers to TampaBay Fanatic and other Floridian friends who are missing. hoping you get power, wifi and whatever else is needed back soonest.

OZ is using her powers for good.

When Lupin is panicking, it shows the situation is really dire.

An anxious Lupin. Things are bad… Except for Iggy.

I love how supportive Lupin is. Suck a supportive parent role model for the younglings.

Lupin’s mouth looks really strange in panel 4? Any thoughts?

Tries throwing some water on them steenky robot aliens. That is usually work.

My Cat! Lupin is being the voice of thought and reason.

Iggy! Look at that smile and little paw kicks! He’ll get that code cracked

The message reads: “Our supreme leader would like a new pet. Who will volunteer ?”

Batten down the hatches! And hatch down the battens!

We are now going to our special correspondent in Australia. Professor, is the world doomed?

Now a break from the roomba battle for Iggy’s happy, feet-in-the-air translation hour. He looks so content!

Here they come again

Just when it was fun to spoil their get-together

They soar right in the door, just like they’ve done before

It’s whappin’, bless her heart, that makes OZ want to linger

Here they come again

Just when Ig’s about to make it work with his clues

Just look at how he tries, sweet li’l kicks that show he’s wise

And pretty soon I’m wondering what that message construes

All we gotta do is watch that smile

See it glow as he progresses

Just leave it up to Ig and in a little while

His brilliant tiny mind is filled with his successes

Here bots come again

Looking fresher than a robot has a right to

And shaking the house so, that all we really know

Is here they come again, and here we go

Here they come again

And here we go

Here we go

Sweet Iggy, go! ❤️

Poor Lupin is trying to be brave for everyone!

In a terrifying finale, it reveals that the invaders are (insert shocked hush —>here<—) ‘DOG PEOPLE’!

If Lupin is afraid, we should all be panicking.

What a mess, first the Ding Dongs get knocked to the floor and the cats bat them around and now they have spilled the Alpha Bits Cereal all over the floor. I think the woman is going to be mad when she sees this mess.

LOL! I can almost feel the tension in Lupin’s voice! Hurry Iggy, before Uncle Lupin explodes!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: I found another scroll from the Lost in Futurity collection. It mentions an alien invasion.

Iggy: I wonder if it has a code like the one my descendant decoded.

Bea: Let’s read it to find out:

I was out looking for carrots when a group of my dust bunny friends came running up to me in a panic.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Help us! There is a huge roomba ship after us!” My friend Roger said. “They’re threatening to vacuum up each and every one of us.”

“We’ll see about that.” I replied. “You, there! You must be the head roomba. What do you mean by menacing all my friends‽”

“We are sworn to vacuum up all dust bunnies. It’s what we do.”

“Not on my watch!” I replied. “Any roombas will have to deal with me!”

“And you are?” asked the roomba.

“You can call me Harvey!”

OT:

I haven’t been able to read so the comments but have any of the amazing Orb been able to figure out the symbol text yet?

Is that fear in Lupin’s eyes? And did little miss OraZ just close and lock the door rather than taking on the upsetting amount of roombas all by her lonesome? I’m amazed by both! Glad to see young Iggy is still having fun!

“Have Fun Faster”. I need that on a t-shirt for my cross country runners.

Go, Iggy, go! It IS fun, but you need to step it up a little.

Poor Lupin.

Georgia posted on facebook about Elvis: “You’re looking at the face of regret, on a boy who ran across a hot stove tonight and burned his paw seconds after the burner was turned off high for tea. I managed to get his paw into a glass of cold water (he was FURIOUS) and tried to apply an ice pack. His fur is singed, he’s limping a bit, and his paw pads are sensitive but not blistering. Poor, poor sweet boy. I’m keeping an eye on his paw and giving him lots of pets.”

I’m betting that instead of regret (“Why did I run across the stove?”), Elvis is puzzling over why she suddenly stuck his paw into cold water for absolutely no reason!

Puffy tail, Oz locking the door, kitten fangs, little kicks…and trying to get iggy to go faster.

Love the worried expression on Lupin’s face. You can tell he is genuinely frightened.

if youve ever read sparks you know what polydactyl means

I might be Iggy. It does look like fun. Now add some research in there and it would be perfect.

Am I normal, “Relatively, No.”

There was a strip a few weeks (or months?) back where Ora Zella (I think) doesn’t want to be held and says “Don’t tell me how to live my life!” Does anyone know the date of that? I want to share it with a friend.
