Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 12, 2020

Agnes is a great example of how well Baba takes care of mice!

Have we ever been introduced to Burt and Baba Mouse’s Woman before? Don’t seem to recall it.

OT

Not sure what Baba’s woman is wearing but it sure has a nice mouse pocket!

So Tabitha’s woman is the librarian!

Tabitha and Sir Figaro Newton are Gatos de Notciias (the Spanish speaking news). They live above BCN team. So Tabitha in the attic (Not hiding!!) was her attempt to rescue Beatrix! Tabitha is one kick of a cat! She is the only known cat to Catch The Red Dot! So… she wasn’t hiding!

The things that happen behind the Humans backs…

I can’t wait for the next chapter I mean broadcast

Ughhh The suspense is killing me y’all! Georgia, do something! Save Beatrix!

What? Burt and Baba got a woman? I thought they were fully feral felines.

Good to see them wearing masks and socially distancing.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the abode of Adobe Style

Beatrixia: So this is the scroll I found at the Great Pyramid. It speaks of a great gem in a time of crisis.

Adobe Style: I have heard of such legends. It seems there is a world where people can come and forget their troubles for awhile. Or share them when the need arises.

Beatrixia: There is also this text I can’t quite make out. Are those musical notes?

Adobe Style: Yes. It just so happens a scholar is visiting right now. Why don’t I go get her?

Enter Violet-Ifa

Violet-Ifa: Yes, I can see this is a song about a place where everybody knows your name. Here are the words:

Making your way in a crazy world takes everything you got

Finding a place to rest for awhile sure could help a lot!

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where cats and people always share!

And they’re glad that you’re right there!

You want to go where you can know, joy is there for a time,

You want to go and know somehow it will be fine!

You want to go where you can know, sorrow is just for a time,

You want to go where everybody helps you be fine!

Beatrixia: Thanks, Violet-Ifa

Violet-Ifa: You’re welcome. Cheers!

So, at this point, maybe Baba should jump down and lead the way to Beatrix.

I love, love , love Agnes in her sleek business suit reporting the news! Lookin’ good, Agnes! Love the fist bump between Baba and Agnes also!

Baba looks absolutely furious in panel2. How dare you interfere, farm woman! She looks a little happier sharing fist bump with Agnes.

Trevor needs to push out of the door and make the silly people follow him.

P.S., Nicely drawn masks on the people, it sets a good example.

Thank you so much for having the women in this strip wearing masks! It may seem like a tiny detail in the grand scheme of things, but it is so important to normalize this!

TIL that Burt and Baba have a Woman.

I’m relieved to know Beatrix has food, water, and warmth to get her through the weekend. Now for the rest of us… I’m sending out comfort to anyone suffering this weekend. I hope relief comes quickly!

OT: New kittens for Caturday!

Kitten Academy’s newest foster momcat Tilbury went PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW this morning & gave birth to 5 little ones in about 2 hours. Mom & babies are doing great. Rewind stream to ~6am for the action:

The gimmick of the people not having names is inconvenient when they have a larger role than just reacting to their cats. “Bookstore woman” really should know the librarians name.

I’m a Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Baba fan

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Baba fan

Oh Baba Mouse

Left the henhouse

Baba Mouse

To get Trevor barkin’ with her yowlin’

Woofin’ and a howlin’

Baba Mouse

Ba-Ba-Ba-Baba Mouse

Went to town, looking for a kit

Filled with grit, she won’t quit until People git it

Baba Mouse

I’m a Baba fan, a Baba fan

Give her a hand

Baba fan, a Baba fan

She’s so grand

She gets dogs barkin’ with her yowlin’

Woofin’ and a howlin’

Baba Mouse

[Fred Fassert / Barbara Ann – The Beach Boys]

Yay masks!

Love the fist bump between Agnes and Baba Mouse. :-D

Cats are continually amazed at how slow we are to catch on to messages. Sometimes a cat has to go in and out three times in a minute before I figure out she wants the door open, thank you very much.

My barn cats were semi-feral. They didn’t mind being close to me because I was a safe human, and I could touch them in cases of emergency, but no snuggles!

Baba is not in the least feral. She’s the most civilized of all the cats in the strip although it’s true, no one could call her domesticated.

Today is:

Canceled for NCS Fest! —Tomorrow I may also post “Yesterday was:”

I was late getting here today and everything I would have said has already been said;) My allergies got so bad last night I had to bring out the big gun (benedryl) so I fell asleep right after the 11:00 news, which ends at 11:15 on Friday for HS football highlights and didn’t wake up until noon. I’m still sleepy. I never know if Benedryl actually helps the allergies or just makes me sleep through the worst of it.

The masks are a nice touch.

I’m hoping that the bookstore lady will put Trevor on a leash and take him outside, then he can lead her to the tree. Although I doubt he knows where it is, so Baba would need to take him but that’s been foiled because the woman is taking her back to the barn.

So the ceiling cats’ (Tabitha and Sir Fig) woman is the librarian? I don’t think we ever knew who their person was.

Georgia’s panel has started!!!!!

I didn’t know Agnes was an “embedded” rodent correspondent for BCN.

I’m reminded of Sneaky Pie Brown, the mystery series where the animals have figured out what’s going on and the humans are JUST NOT LISTENING.

So does this mean we should call the Ceiling Woman the Librarian from now on?

Thank you, Georgia, for showing the humans’ masks!

do you have any cats?
