Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 25, 2021

Only cranberry sauce" You mean no mac and cheese? No pie?

Cranberry squirrel!

Lupin seems to have found a date for Dinner.

I love the look on Lupin’s face in panel two.

@Crann Bethadh YOU CALLED IT!!!

The Girl is consistent! I can’t help but remember this… http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/the-man-brought-home-donuts/

I suspect the Cranberry Space Goo is quivering in horror at the thought of being gobbled up by an exceptionally large squirrel.♥

Am I late at commenting?

Team Woman’s Sister for life! They’re only little once and this has been almost 2 years of poop. Let them find happiness in a squirrel suit and a bowl of cranberry sauce. We adults should be so lucky to find joy so easily.

Is The Nana trying to go incognito? I’m sure Elvis will sense her presence anyway.

Good luck with that, Squirrel Girl.

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! Even to our non-American Orbsters!

Put the Girl’s dress down

‘Cause she’s eating just cranberry meals

Squirr-girls are real

And something to give thanks about

Cranberry meals forever

- George Harrison / John Lennon / Paul McCartney – Strawberry Fields Forever

Anybody want to see a picture of my then 3 year old daughter in her frilly Pretty dress, worn with old scuffed, cracking black boots? Any attempt to get her in nice shoes was met with a screaming fit. She’s 55 now, so what did it matter in the long run!

The Beatles: Strawberry Fields

Let me be a squirrel and I’m gonna eat

Cranberry sauce

Not to be cross

That’s all I’m gonna eat today!

Cranberry sauce forever!

…….

Wearing my favourite costume

Every day since Halloween

It’s just some fun after this lousy year

Maybe some day I’ll wear a lovely dress

But right now it’s how I’ll be!

…….

Let me be a squirrel, and I’m gonna eat

Cranberry sauce

Not to be cross

That’s all I’m gonna eat today!

Cranberry sauce forever!

Cranberry sauce forever!

Cranberry sauce forever!

The Official Nana Seal of Approval has been affixed. Auntie concurs. You are overruled, woman!

How is hyoomans arriving breaking cat news? Get back to reporting what really matters to cats, cat. Like, what’s on the mouthwatering menu and what all delicious delicacies, fabulous foods, scrumptious savouries, magnificent meats, enjoyable eats, and splendid sweets are on the counter. Okay, maybe not the sweets. You cats don’t eats those. But ya sure wants to tastes whatever’s on the counter.

Uh, boy. That she can’t be allowed to get away with. Get the nuts and seeds out!

Obviously she is the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Haha, there you go! You’re a squirrel, so you only eat cranberry sauce.

Is squirrel power more powerful than Cat Power?

Dang! I should have posted this a couple of days ago, but if you’re celebrating Thanksgiving on Friday, or the weekend, you might want to try making Hubby’s grandmother (Texas-born-and-bred) cream pecan pie that we prefer over the sticky sweet one. “Tasting History with M*x Miller” on YouTube did a pecan pie video using an historic recipe that’s similar—but his uses brown sugar and makes less filling.

Cream Pecan Pie

1/3 c sifted flour (or 1/4 c cornstarch)

2/3 c sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 c pecans (chopped)

2 c milk

3 slightly beaten egg yolks

1/2 tsp vanilla

a pastry shell

Mix dry ingredients. Whip eggs and milk; add to dry ingredients. Heat slowly on stovetop, stirring until thick. When thickened, remove from heat and stir in pecans. Put mixture in baked pie shell. If meringue used, brown in oven.

P.S. Tammy of Coll*rd Valley Cooks cooks her custard-type pie fillings in a large, Pyrex batter bowl in the microwave—puts it in the micro for 2–3 minutes at a time, stirring it between sessions; usually only takes two sessions.

Happy, joyous, cat-filled, purring, tail wagging, turkey (duck for us!) wonderful Thanksgiving to all you lovely people!!

It seems that Lupin has fully forgiven the Woman’s Sister.

Every panel is adorable! The Girl will always have fond memories of this Thanksgiving.

And that’s how, The Little Squirrel Girl, saved Thanksgiving! Cranberry goo bless us, everyone!

Happy Thanks giving! My menu today: Cornish game hen, with a cornbread maple sausage, stuffing. Baked 3 cheese macaroni. Snow peas. mashed potatoes and home made gravy. Cheddar biscuits, And for dessert- Apple pie, pecan pie and vanilla bean ice cream.

Love it! I have a squirrel costume too, and right now I’m very tempted to be a Thanksgiving Day squirrel, too. Probably not as cute since I’m 52… ;-)

Just want to wish the Orb and families, Georgia and family a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

@Aliceith, What she said. Could not have said it better.

This was my philosophy for parenting. There is no harm in letting kids have their little victories. If they are playing with pots and pans, let them get away with the mischief. Do they want to make a little mess playing with my shaving foam? Yeah that’s O.K. We can teach them to help clean up after they’ve had their fun.Let them steal the occasional cookie when they think you’re not looking, but keep them from making a habit of it.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

From Marie, Mittens, Belle, Holly-Bear, and of course, Hamilton A. Cat.

HAPPY CRANBERRY SPACE GOO DAY!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! I am so thankful for Georgia, BCN and The Orb! You brighten my morning every day! I’ll be gone a few days for family Thanksgiving so HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!! May this day be the beginning of a good year for all.

This little squirrel needs a Squirrel Girl Hero Doll (at Walmart)!

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia and here family and all here in the United States. Happy Thursday to everyone else.

I’m glad Pucky called her The Woman’s Sister, and not “The Intruder”. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving to Georgia and family, and to all my friends in the Mega-Orb!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

May your table be crowded with joy and abundant blessings to count!

Happy Thanksgiving all! Thankful for Georgia sharing her talent with us every day and for the compassion of this group.

Happy Thanksgravy all!

Well, perhaps a squirrel might also like a little taste of pecan pie? Happy “remembering to be grateful for what you do have,” day.

To everyone in the US, Happy Thanksgiving

When the oldest boy was in first grade, the teacher helped the students make pilgrim hats and collars to wear to lunch on the last day of school before Thanksgiving. J-L, ever the one to spin things the way he wanted them, wore the Native American costume that my mother had made him to school that day. Luckily, it was a warm day. His teacher told me later that when he walked into class he looked her straight in the eye and said, “There were more Indians than Pilgrims.” She said she couldn’t argue with that so he got to wear it all day.

And before anyone asks, yes, we do have Native American heritage in our family. Mom’s paternal grandmother was a member of the Alabama-Coushatta tribe. I have a few memories of her from when I was very young, of her taking her dentures out and chasing us kids around and saying she was gonna get us. We’d fall over ourselves giggling and trying to get away.

What a concept. I think I’ma eat only cramberry sauce also. (Oh wait, I drove 115 miles for that turkey…) Enjoy the holiday, all! Mad boops to each of you!

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m grateful I was able to spend time with some folks from Dad’s side of the family in October, and am getting to spend Thanksgiving with Mom’s side – smaller this year, since we lost two more; so all the more important to gather.

incoming purple space goo! (i think that’s what it’s called?)

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the US and a good day to all!

I’m guessing the woman and her sister’s father must be the redhead since it looks like the Nana is blond. I can’t tell you how many times people would ask me that when they saw blond me with my little redheaded daughter. “Oh my, where did she get the red hair?” I was always thinking, “What, you can’t figure it out?”

She is a very good squirrel. Get her some cranberry sauce. Happy thanksgiving !

Has it been 18 months? Only seems like 17.

Happy Thanksgiving Orb!

happy pumpkin pie day!

elvis gonna run away

It’s such a slow news week that “Ocean Spray upside down label” is a BIG story. I’ve known this for years. Of course, the media has it all screwed up. The label is right side up it’s the can that’s upside down. Sheesh! :)

Happy Thanksgiving

LOL – Georgia’s latest tweet is a reminder to remove that extra oven shelf before you preheat it!

Wishing all a happy, fulFILLING, and relaxing holiday, especially Georgia and family. For those not in the US, wishing you a happy, fulfilling, relaxing Thursday.

OT: Spare a thought…

AWWW!!! It looks like Lupin got his crush back. That is so sweet.

Wait. Wait. Hold on. I need a minute; my mind has been blown.

.

People eat cranberry sauce?!

.

I thought it was just there to have fun squishing it into different shapes with a fork!

Many years ago, my silver tabby sampled the pecan pie on the counter while I was occupied elsewhere. Who’d think a cat would go for pecan pie?

‘Impossible 18 months’ triggered a torrent of tears. Tough time to be in the grocery biz. OMC!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful for the Orb and wish you all a good day.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American cousins. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! And let her have this one. This world is a poopy place and it seems to get poopier by the day. Enjoy what you can enjoy as long as you can.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Orb family! I am so thankful for all of you, and to Georgia for this strip which has brought us all together. ♥♥♥

Happy Thanksgiving to all, I too am thankful many things, and for the Orb and the little community we’ve built here! May we all have even more to be thankful for next year!

Hi, is this thing on?

I’m Hamilton A. Cat and this is my first Thanksgiving. I gonna help Dad cook and I will do a good job. Never mind about the steak incid..incid…thingy, it was fake news. Gotta go, Dad is coming.

Looks like the adult united front has broken. Chaos has been unleashed. Will the Woman get her dignity back?

I thought she was only going to eat acorn squash and pecan pie.

Today, is one week since we had to put Cafe Latte to sleep. We have been preparing for this since this summer. We were fortunate as was he to have 19 years together. He was a rescue with many problems and lucky to have survived as long as he did before rescue. We said our goodbyes this summer and felt blessed that we had another 4.5 months together. He would nestle in my husband’s lap for a hour or more and slept next to my face. He always did that and I didn’t like it as his whiskers would tickle my nose. The last week I welcomed it as he was saying his goodbyes. It was a quiet end.

The word quickly spread among friends and Tuesday, we were again blessed to find a companion for Cafe Mocha(7), another rescue. The three of us have forgotten what it is like to have a kitten, in this case a teenager with typical teenage boy long legs that are evident when he races through the house.Mocha has been given extra special rubbing, brushing and care to let him know that he still is loved.What is the phase that the Woman calls Elvis? It is appropriate for Mocha but can’t remember the phrase.

Only gonna eat cranberry sauce, eh? Ok, more for the kitties.

This whole story line is so adorable I can hardly stand it!

I was quite fond of squirrels when i was younger.

Check out Iggy’s FIRST Thanksgiving!! He looks mesmerized! (๑′ᴗ‵๑) https://scontent.fakl8-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/261024784_323137599624862_5669509016800466588_n.jpg?nc_cat=106&ccb=1-5&nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=eDWL6GRn-KoAX8ge2Rw&ncht=scontent.fakl8-1.fna&oh=6d07e271f069347be4e968fe65171556&oe=61A4FC8E

When she is old enough, The Girl NEEEEEEEEEEDS to be introduced to “Squirrel Girl” comic books! 8 – )

Have we heard from Lady Kat since Sunday or Monday, I think. Wondering if shes okay or maybe she went to the cabin (((((((Love and hugs Lady K))))))))

Late check-in from NC. The Girl had quite a day. First time eating Cranberry Space Goo, first time eating stuffing made from her great-great-grandmother’s family recipe, an unlimited supply of mashed potatoes, a similarly unlimited supply of ice cream – with whipped cream, no less! – for dessert, and a new family member to meet, the Great-Uncle, who arrived from Florida early this afternoon in his very large, very cool truck!

Other firsts today were getting to help The Gigi set the table, and helpfully running several laps around the tree in the front yard as The Great-Uncle, The Pop, and The Boy put Christmas lights on it after dinner.

It’s nice to see Nana again. Happy Thanksgiving!

Lupin is so blissed out in panel two!

let all girls be squirrels
