Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 20, 2020

Beautiful movements, no matter what Puck chooses to call it. A+!

Poetry in motion no matter what you call it.

This may be the most gorgeous Sunday strip we’ve had in a long time! A sheer pleasure to look at – not that we’re keeping score, but definitely a real winner!

Thank you Puck! I feel much safer!

Puck is ready for the leaf dance—er fight, Olympics! I give him a 10!

So graceful, even when taking up the arduous task of defending everyone! That’s our Pucky!

What about Bea??!!! Show is what happened to Bea!!!!!

SUNDAY FUNDAY

“I believe I can fly…”

What evil person is allowing leaves inside the house. Those dastards!

Beautifully done, Puck, but can the efforts of one small, brave cat really save us from the leaves? I fear not. We are doomed.

Family Cir-cats.

Such grace, such poise, that’s our Puck.

It was good trouble

I wonder if the real Goldie sits with crossed or folded paws. My little gentleman Brutus Ben-Mittens ALWAYS sits fancy, and it’s almost always right-over-left.♥

Catoeira…

Fearless Pucky saves us from the leaves once again. We’re safe for another year. :)

Puck can and will save us. After all, he did it last year: http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/the-trees-are-falling-apart/

Whatever it was, it was delightful! And it’s great to see Goldie and Puck getting along so well.

And he caught his prey.

Every cat is kung fu fighting

And they are fast as lightning

Although the future is a little bit frightening (Little bit frightening)

It’s the comic of your life that you’re writing (Life that you’re writing)

Oh ho ho hooooo…

You’re a diamond in the puff,

A brilliant ball of yarn.

You are a work of art,

Fighting a matter of concern.

Now this puts a cat to flight

When you got eevil leaves to catch,

Not only do you have to fight,

But you have got to win.

Every cat is kung fu fighting

And they are fast as lightning …

A month of nights, a year of days

Septembers drifting into Mays

Puck perfects his form as the leaves come in

And he just casts our fate to the wind

He shifts his course along the breeze

Won’t let us be smothered by autumn leaves

Graceful Pucky is our best friend

As he just casts our fate to the wind

I often wonder how things might have been

Had brave Pucky not cast our fate to the wind

OT. To save a kitten.

Puck’s annual leaf dance, er, fight, is always so graceful. Our trees are just beginning to turn but it looks like we might have good color this year. It doesn’t make up for the myriad disasters of this year but it does help the spirit.

As the mission is accomplished, Puck would like to take his leaf now

Puckey’s BeLeaves it or not!

He leaps! He Spins! He Twirls! And in so doing, he saves everyone he knows. Brave Pucky.

Perhaps now that the leaves have started falling, it will be easier for her rescuers to see Beatrix tomorrow and Get. Her. Out. of. That. Tree.

Puck begins en demi-pointe before transitioning to a pas de chat (aka saut de chat). Throughout he exhibits great ballon.

A postman was spotted Puck, a postman!!

So how did the young kitten get out of the tree? I’m confused a bit.

Perfect choreography from Puck and Autumn is 2 days away!

Giblet had his vet appointment and they tweaked his insulin some more. He is now at 5-Units, twice per day. The vet did not seem too concerned about it, but conceded it could be Diabetic neuropathy. We are to bring him back in two weeks to be checked again. Apparently they can treat the pain symptoms of the illness in humans but not cure it. I am not sure what they can do for cats.

It is all very frustrating because his back-legs are not working the way they should and he knows it.

On a completely different subject: I heard Ruth Bader Ginsburg speak one time. She was this little slip of a woman but with a brilliant mind and compassion for all. It is a loss for the Country when we lose one of the best of us. “And though she be but little, she is fierce.” – A Mid Summer Night’s Dream – Act 3, Scene 2. Rest in peace dear lady.

Thank goodness someone’s doing something about this attack from above.

Dance. Fight. Tomayto. Tomahto.

noooo the leavs have returnd

Pucky is a great dancer/fighter. I’m glad he is keeping the world safe from falling leaves once again. Think it rather sweet he and Goldie seem to have a great friendship.

Instinct shall not be denied

That is a lovely, graceful, Puck ballet.

Indeed, it was a beautiful fight/dance.

Fight… dance… Well, as Ani DiFranco said, “Every tool is a weapon—if you hold it right.”

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: I am happy to announce that Puckmosis will do his annual Welcome to Autumn dance.

Puckmosis: I would like to point out that the Welcome to Autumn dance originated as a fight to combat the plague of leaves that fell during the autumn months. That is why the season is also called Fall.

Elvis-Anum: The Royal Musicians will also perform an original song to celebrate autumn.

Beatrixia: The days are getting shorter one by one,

Tabith-Isis: The leaves are turning to the color of the dots!

Sophititi: The landscape is a work of art, and that’s saying a lot!

All Together: Welcome to fall, season of cool nights and shorter days!

The leaves are turning bright colors,

Lovely in so many ways!

They may be falling on the ground, but still all in all

We love the season of fall!

Lupinium: And now I will conclude the celebration with the traditional Thwump!

It’s better to make every fight a dance than every dance a fight. It’s called “grace”.

Today is:

National Punch Day —There are certainly people I’d like to punch, or rather, use “percussive maintenance” on their heads in the hope of stirring their supposed minds into something vaguely akin to intelligent thought. Most of these are elected officials …

Then there are those who have had too much punch. Again, mostly elected officials—who frequently appear punch drunk, for all the sense they make.

On a happier note, I can just see Lupin diving into the punch bowl for a reason known only to him. After all, he did it with pumpkin …

National Pepperoni Pizza Day —"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Eat pizza like someone may try to take it from you at any moment." — _Sandra Boynton– Good advice, IMHO. On that note, I know a pizzaria that puts a layer of pepperoni sausage under the sauce on every pizza except the bare cheese ones, where they ask if you want it. Best pizza in the country. Unfortunately, they are a four to five hour drive away. If you live near Iowa City, Iowa, look up “Pagliai’s Pizza”—you won’t regret it.

National Fried Rice Day —The second best use for leftovers. All you need is rice and/or leftovers. A dish anyone can make, even those who can’t boil water without burning it, assuming they already have leftover rice. Add enough leftovers and suddenly you have chop suey. What is the first best use of leftovers? Egg rolls, of course, but they’re harder to make.

National Gibberish Day —Nulla dui purus, eleifend vel, consequat non, dictum porta, nulla. Duis ante mi, laoreet ut, commodo eleifend, cursus nec, lorem. Aenean eu est. Etiam imperdiet turpis. Praesent nec augue. Curabitur ligula quam, rutrum id, tempor sed, consequat ac, dui. Vestibulum accumsan eros nec magna. Vestibulum vitae dui. Vestibulum nec ligula et lorem consequat ullamcorper. Cis aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos. Phasellus eget ut elit porta ullamcorper. Gaius tincidunt velit. Got it?

Sooo, Is anyone else contemplating what an adorable wallpaper border this would make?

And after Puck saves everyone in the Big Pink House, the People will pay tribute to his bravery by festooning the apartment with images of him.

OT: Kitten Yen update – Yen pooped today! Good news that she’s been eating enough to need to!

There must be a tee shirt with Puck’s fighting leaf dance.

this, this is amazing

Leaf it to Puck to save us from a horrible fate.

Puck is selfless.

How lovely to see Pick fighting the leaves. Goldie is right it was a beautiful fight.

The colors blend wonderfully with Puck’s lighthearted spirit.

Here’s Elvis performing some intense relaxation! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXn3-spw23/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

Thank you Puck for your Dance/Fight on this my 67th Birthday, a gift I will treasure forever!

How timely.Thank you, Georgia. <3

Fights can be dances, Puck.

I cracked. I have ordered a print of this comic. The 4th drawing of Puck (front legs splayed out, head cocked to look up at the leaf) is just such a perfect depiction of a cat pose that I couldn’t resist.

Other strips are dancing today, too…

Right, Puck. Some fights are beautiful.
