Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 19, 2021

This jail has very lax security procedures. Is someone playing “Yakety Sax” off in the next panel?

“Daddy “ knows how to rub it in…..He sure loves those boots.

Also, yeah, Kit, maybe don’t eat that. There’s all SORTS of nasty you can bake into a cake.

All that mess, and he probably didn’t even put a file or a hacksaw in it. And, 10-20? How much catnip did they use to frame him? (And has it conveniently made its way from the evidence room to the street?)

If y’all would turn it down just a little bit over in the TV room, we wouldn’t have to wonder all this frivolous stuff! It’s only because the door latch is broken (and no, we have no idea how that happened) and the door won’t close all the way. We can’t help but occasionally and accidentally overhear this piffle! We are certainly not trying to pay attention or anything. We certainly don’t notice when some of you (not naming any names here) move around and block the screen! We certainly don’t wish that those who are unnamed would settle down and stop blocking the screen at critical . . . er, yes, we don’t. At all. (What? The volume knob is missing? You can’t turn it down? I wonder how that could have happened?)

Day 4 of ignoring OIXL.

Georgia has posted a number of pictures of what she will have for sale later today on Facebook. There is even one painting of Angora and Kit. I also saw on her Twitter account that she is selling some Swan Eaters strips too.

Georgia, you have just popped open a HUUUUUUUGE can of worms for my adhd brain with this arc. The cats on ONL have a whole society. Laws, infrastructure, taxes… Cat contractors built that cat prison for cat criminals who broke cat laws and were judged in a justice system made up of cats. Cat jurors. Cat judges. Cat bureaucracy. It’s a world of cats living the lives of people (mostly), not a world of cats living WITH their people. But BCN is the latter.

I guess what I need to know is, do the BCN cats view this show as a window into a parallel dimension, or is there actually a cats-as-people country I haven’t found yet despite yearning for it all my life???

OMC I’m going to be up thinking about this all night. Cat world. I want to go to there.

BoSOCCH! (Back of Soap Opera Character Cat Heads!)

I bet those noisy boots are going to talk when Snowball wouldn’t want them to!

He may, possibly, be enjoying it TOO much.

Kit looks like he’s trying to do his best impression of the Woman’s Angry Frown. He is so not amused, LOL.

Need spurs on those boots. Then they make more noise.

I was hoping the telekinetic kittens would find a way to dump that cake all over Snowball’s fancy boots!

Why does Snowball remind me of Charles Durning dancing around the courthouse in Best Little “Cathouse” in Texas?

Seeing the click-clack , click-clack in print made me laugh. I can hear it in my mind’s ear.

I’d love to see him get his comeuppance.

Careful, Snowball. You’re tipping your paw about Kit’s situation. Wait, who am I kittening? Snowball doesn’t care who knows.

I never thought I’d see a grown cat mincing across the floor in li’l boots. But there it is.

Ooh. Insult to injury. That must be a salty cake. Er… I means… Yawn. Soaps is so booring.

We now bring you Our Nine Lives in progress….

Evilest Snowball is prancing about in his little boots, casting off clue after clue about his guilt in framing poor Kit. Angora begins to suspect that her father is not all he seems.

The good Doctors, Young Dr. Young, and Old Dr. Young hold back while Kit discusses his situation with Angora.

Meanwhile, one of the boys, a Telekinetic Kittens is fast at work moving the keys to Kit’s cell to free him. The girl kitten is showing the lovable but naïve Bandit images of Breaking Cat News, and an intrepid News Reporter who looks strikingly like the kitten trio.

LOVE THE CAKE!!

You are so evil, Snowball…how can you do that to a harmless cake…with sprinkles!

OT- Got my Covid booster, yesterday! Arm is sore, but I’m doing fine!

OT – Stop Thief!

One of the things I like about Our IX Lives is how it looks like an group of Cats got together and made an show and used household objects as props. It’s very charming

Not exactly being that subtle about what he did, is he?

Thurl Ravencroft: You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

Snowball Taggart, you’re a jerk!

You really are a Scrooge,

You’re as charming as a trash can

You’re as pleasant as root canal

Snowball Taggart,

Every baseball you hit turns out to be a foul!

…….

Snowball Taggart, you’re as vile

As an untuned violin!

Your heart is full of moldy kibble

Your brain’s a chewed-up sock

Snowball Taggart,

Your soul is as ugly as sin!

…….

You disgust me, Snowball T.

With a super dissing gust!

Your soul’s a pile of week-old tuna

Out lying in the sun,

Snowball Taggart!

You’ll get yours and we’ll all have fun!

Jut when you thought he couldn’t be in a bigger mess.

Also, shouldn’t that be “kick kack”? :)

Some boots are made for walking. Some boots are made for kicking a$$. Snowball’s very noisy boots will be his comeuppance.

This puss-in-boots is no hero!

Just wait, Snowball’s antics will come back to “snowball” on him. He’d better hope his fancy boots can double as running shoes.

There have been hints here and there, here it is: These Boots Are Made for Walking

You keep saying you have all the answers

You think you’ll always win, but guess what?

You’ve been playing much too long with fire

And soon you’ll find yourself in a bad spot!

…….

These boots are made for kickin’

And that’s just what they’ll do

One of these days these boots will kick the stuffing out of you! (This is a family-friendly cartoon)

…….

You keep scheming when you oughta be working

And you keep meddling in what you should leave alone,

You should stop now or you’re gonna regret it!

Just let us be and go right on home!

…….

These boots are made for kickin’

And that’s just what they’ll do

One of these days these boots will kick the stuffing out of you!

…….

You keep laughing when you’re gonna be crying,

You think you can get away with it all, HA!

You’re so proud of yourself it’s pathetic,

Prepare yourself for a great big fall!

…….

These boots are made for kickin’

And that’s just what they’ll do

One of these days these boots will kick the stuffing out of you!

…….

Are you ready boots?

Start kicking!

Retribution will land on Snowball when he least expects it…

What’s with the hind feet?

How the Daddy is acting kinda reminds me a little bit of Fernand Mondego and/or his cohorts. (TBH never actually read the book, but I know the characters from various arts and music videos)

Give what’s left of the cake to your warders and tell them “Compliments of Snowball.”

Don’t suppose anyone would like to sell their Get Well Lupin…

I know a “faux dislike” for “My IX Lives” is being popularized for some reason. However, I have to say that I genuinely like these little diversions. They not only parody the soap opera genre but have wonderful little elements of self-parody of Breaking Cat News.

What a jerk!

That was definitely uncalled for.

I was rereading the Christmas Special. I had totally forgotten that Paisley helped Bandit break out of jail during his bad boy phase and before his spiritual experience in the mine shaft.

“Hey! Where’s the file?!?”

Well, that is downright harsh.

The message on the cake doesn’t even rhyme and besides it isn’t funny!

wow
