Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 03, 2019

Ahh potato salad…we meet again.

This would probably be funnier in I had seen “Hamilton”

Elvis looks so dignified in the tricorn hat. Love the ruffled crevats and shoulder epaulets. Puck looks dashing as well. Surely Lupin will be wearing a cape!

Since when do cats like potato salad?

MDMom posted this yesterday, but since it was towards the end of the day I thought I would post again. Here is a link to an interview Georgia did:

Looking good, Elvis and Puck.

I’d say the potato salad was doomed, but I’m too busy wondering why they are wearing eighteenth century clothes.

I have no clue what’s going on here, save the idea – from the comments – that it’s to do with Life, Liberty and Potato Salad. Why do they want Potato Salad?

OT: Nushi update – Nushi went to the top level of the cat tree! This was the first time she climbed there since she got sick! She did it twice!!! This was her favorite place to play, nap and stare out the windows (or down at me). I’ve been waiting for this landmark!!! Go Nushi!!!

Her shot went better today though I think that I nicked a blood vessel? Bleeding under her skin I think. Hopefully it didn’t push too much of the meds out, but I don’t think so. Nushi handled it very well and it stopped bleeding fairly quickly. She’s still throwing up first thing in the morning. I will ask the group if any one else has had this happen. I may try setting my alarm and giving her some dry food at around 5am. I usually give her some food around midnight and she seems to throw up in early morning before I feed her in the morning, so hopefully this will help.

Thank you for all of your help, kind words, for making me laugh when I really really need it. AND for sending Nushi and me your purrs, boops, prayers and energy.

((((((((((((((((((((((Team Nushi & the Mega-Orb)))))))))))))))))))))

Potato salad is definitely worth the risk. Tally-ho!

I wish someone in my family besides me liked potato salad.

I could fall face first into a bowl of potato salad and die happy. My mom made the best!

They are so cute in their colonial suits!

Change of plans,, Cast Clinic didn’t want to touch it. Surgeon came in. Wrist pinning on Friday morning. I do hope this for the best. People are saying it is for future healing of this type of break

I have been waiting for this since I saw Pucky last year in his Hamilton costume and Georgia hinted about it. I tried to find a link to familiarize you with the Musical if you have not seen it. It was done at a University in the US, but alas, it seems to have been taken down.

Sit back and enjoy. And if the Musical comes to your area, by all means see it. It is a tour de’ force.

For your enjoyment:

No particular tune

This is my ballad

Of potato salad!

A treat of Russet potato

Covered with vinegar and mayo!

You can all make do with chips

And have some salsa and dips,

You’ll do just fine,

But the potato salad is mine!

Ok. As a a Revolutionary War reenactor on the British side, I can tell you that the Colonist Rebel Scum did not win the war. The King of France started making noises about conquering England, while so many British troops were way far away across the Atlantic Ocean. So our beneficent King George decided to call his boys home. When the Colonist Rebel Scum woke up and realized they needed HRH, he’d be there to welcome them home with open arms. So, it really was a draw, not a win. Not even a place or a show!!!

The boys have outfits for every occasion. Either the Woman buys them outfits or they have a clothing allowance with the BCN Network.

I just sent out the squeeeeeeeee heard round the world!!! Belly laughs and tears of glee. Perfect, Georgia!

For those who ar not familiar, if you have Amazon Prime, you can stream the soundtrack for free. You don’t need to have seen the show. Save one song, the soundtrack is the whole story. Lots of video clips out there to set the scene. “The making of…” has lots of clips and great background. Lin-Manuel Miranda is the genius of this era.

Good morning, everyone! Paul and I are back from five lovely days at the cabin over the Canada day long weekend! Batteries are recharged, and we came home ready and willing to take on the little trials and tribulations of everyday live, not to mention Yum Yum, who greeted us enthusiastically and demanded to know why we had left her alone for so long!

Now… What on earth is this supposed to be?

Potato salad stealer? Hey, that’s my job!

‘tripod’ black cat! Funnee!

See where it all started… Back when it was just that guy from “In the Heights” working on something new, but didn’t have much beyond an idea and an opening song. 10 years ago! Can you believe it?

This is an amazing clip even if you’re not a fan. (And I’m not, because I know I’d probably get obsessed and stop eating, bathing, and going to work.)

You can read the lyrics here https://atlanticrecords.com/HamiltonMusic/ Note that the opening number is directly parodied by Elvis. I can’t quote it here; I’d be banned for life!

Oh good grief

++++ OFF TOPIC ++++OH MY CAT!!We have an actual Q and A with Georgia Dunn here.

https://www.ampkids.com/blog/qa-with-breaking-cat-news-creator-georgia-dunn/

First time I’ve heard America described as “fluffy”.

By the way, if any of you are interested, I’m cooking something. No, no, it’s not food, but a story. If you’re interested, head to “The Comic Strip That Has A Finale Every Day”. It’s a spin-off about the Giant Frog Creature in that comic. Story begins from Monday, July 01, 2019 over in the commentary section:

https://www.gocomics.com/the-comic-strip-that-has-a-finale-every-day/2019/07/01

P.S: Be warned, the story will be unBearable!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all CATS are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of POTATO SALAD!! :)

Oh My Cat! Two of my most favoritest things together at last—Hamilton and BCN!

I hope the woman made plenty if it’s going to last through tomorrow!!!

This never ends well for my guys. They’d better not touch my steak this year.

Got some AWSUM news late yesterday:

M IS OFF THE VENT!!!

She has chest tubes on both sides to drain off the fluid that keeps accumulating around her lungs & enable her to breathe on her own & she’s on oxygen, but that bleeping hose is out of her throat after a week and a half! Her color is pretty good considering all she’s been through.

Her kidneys are working, but most of the water they’d be pulling out of her system is going out her chest tubes (sepsis makes everything leaky), so her urine looks like black coffee. Just the fact that they’re working & she hasn’t needed dialysis is amazing!

(Not all the news is so great. They’re trying to feed her via a stomach tube, but nothing is staying down & they’re worried that she might aspirate what she throws up, so that’s still a worry. About half her liver is dead, but the hope is that it will regenerate.)

Just like her country, she’s young, scrappy, & hungry, & she’s not throwing away her shot! We’re all hoping & praying that she’s turned a corner & is finally on her way to recovery. She’s still in for a long haul in the hospital & then in rehab (PT started this week). Still in need of all the (((((HUGGZ))))), purrrrrrrrrrz, prayers, good vibes, boops, headbonks, mews, yips, chirps, etc. to help progress keep progressing.

Many thanks & much love to all!

Never discount fluffyness.

I thought I was the last person on earth to get into Hamilton! But this inspired me to go make potato salad (while the cats are outside)

OT: Diego

If you get it wrong Puck all the kitties will be locked away for the festivities for being BAD BOYS.

Overdue report:

Hello again. The kittens are all doing just dandy. Elvis and Lupin have passed the one year mark.

Did I mention that Lupin looks like a Pomeranian? All hair, not much cat. I have almost convinced Lisa to let me shave him…for his own good. Okay, not really. I have almost convinced here to let clip him down to a short hair. I suspect she will allow this with the understanding that she will not help and will not drive me to the hospital.

Bandit, Sophie and Tommie are about 8 months old. Tommie is a mush but the girls have gotten a little skittish. Or independent. The entire crew (minus Trixie) is more than happy to assemble on the bed while we are trying to sleep. Jockeying for the best leg nest and kidney cuddle, bumping away for rubbies. Get them in the living room and they act like they never met you. Harrumph.

The continuing good news is Trixie. Still skittish but coming along nicely. Lisa is her anchor, I am but an egg. In the early days she allowed rubbies in the kitchen during mealtimes. She now allows rubbies almost anytime in the kitchen. She gives Lisa the occasional leg rub and will even come to Lisa when called (in the kitchen, sometimes).

In the great room she is now comfortable anywhere. She will let you walk past without skittering away. She lounges on the couch, on the coffee table, almost within reach of Lisa. And, once in a while even I, the lowly egg, am allowed to give skritchies outside the kitchen.

Little by little, day by day, she is a triumph.

Are you Aaron Purr, sir?

Are the Boys going to don wigs?

One if by land, two if by salad.

The boys look so dashing with their jabots, and Elvis can really rocks in a tricorn and epaulettes.

This one reminds me of a classic “B.C.N.” strip about fireworks where the cats say, “The world is ending and the people are just eating potato salad.” (Couldn’t find a direct link; sorry.)

4th of July clothes on my favor kittys! Ok, snagging the potato salad is a serious stretch for our herls, but we must understand how these felines work! There’s nothing like truly good potato salad on the 4th of July!!!

I love this Hamilton reference

Looks like she recently watched Hamitin

IM DYING! I LOVE HAMILTON

Elvis Looks Like Jack Sparrow.

Hamilton references everywhere. I LOVE IT!

Hamilton!!!!!!!

Hamilton is the best dhow of all time, if you read this Georgia Dunn, you are an absolute genius

The original lyrics are ‘how does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower somehow defeat a global superpower.’ ’I’m just like my country, I’m young scrappy and a hungry, I am not throwing away my shot!’ ‘If we manage to get this right, they’ll surrender by early light’

Sis: I would type in the original lyric from Hamilton that Elvis copies in these comments but this is not a good place to use explicit words because kids read these comics

Oh, goodness. I only became obsessed with hamilton songs this year, not when I first saw this. This is wonderous, Thank you georgia!
