Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 28, 2022

Uh, oh… Jules is working up to something!

Well, the July Bug was late this year, but he’s going to make up for it!

Awww…….looks like Jules has found a new home!

I have the absolute strongest picture in my head of Jules doing the “Hello My Baby Hello My Honey” dancing frog bit from Looney Tunes on the windowsill. He stops when the Woman is looking and starts again when only the cats (or us) are watching.

And what if the Woman simply hammered you into the windowsill?

Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to go but you wanted to stay? https://youtu.be/bY-zmJ1VCQI

That’s very June bug of him.

If the July bug wanted to be outside, he wouldn’t have come inside in the first place.

OT

If he doesn’t leave in three days, he’ll be among some very august company…

Busted flat and unamused, July bug still remained

Now he’s feelin’ somewhat faded at the seams

Lupin thumbed some toe beans ’round and no one complained

Causing squeees all the way to New Orleans

Alice pulled her harpoon out of her pretty red bandana

She’s playin’ soft while Jules sings the blues, uh huh

Lupin’s paw is slappin’ time, wantin’ to join that bug in crime

Jules sang every song that you ever knew

Freedom is just another word for nothin’ left to lose

Nothin’, don’t mean nothin’ hon’ if it ain’t free, no-no

And feelin’ good was easy, Cat, when Jules sang the blues

You know feelin’ good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and that twirlin’ buggy

- Fred Foster / Kris Kristofferson – Me and Bobby McGee – Janis Joplin

I don’t blame Jules for wanting to stay. The Big Pink House looks so cozy!

Semi-OT: I just discovered that BCN has its own Wiki! https://breakingcatnews.fandom.com/wiki/Breaking_Cat_News_Wiki

Of course, I’m sure some of you already knew that, LOL. But I had to share!! ❤

Just push ‘im over and bid him g’day!

Well, they’re herbivores so if he can stay out of Elvis’ way, he could be another addition to the family!

Lupin toe beans and Hat of Adventure!

Cue up The Clash: “Should I Stay or Should I Go”. Looks like Jules has brought his A Game to the Big Pink House!

Rookie mistake, woman. You don’t release them near the window—you take them out on the porch, make sure the doors and windows are closed, then you give them a toss to get them airborne. Then you have to hope they don’t get back inside the way they got inside in the first place.

I love that The Woman is trying to reason with Jules!

Situations like this are usually where I bring out the old flicking finger and send that guy flying. Of course, the July Bug would just turn around and fly right back in. The only solution is to wait until it’s not July anymore.

Dance, Jules, dance and sing for us!

OK, Jules has been hanging around the cats too long: want out … want in … out … in … LOL

And that’s when I would “help” him out the window.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Thomios: Hello, everyone. Can I interest you in a piece of cheesecake?

Baba-Stet: That would be most appreciated. With cheesecake, can the Royal Procurers be far away?

Agnes-Ata: Not at all. Here we all are.

Puckmosis: Have you met Miss Marvel from Agatha’s Village?

Agnes-Ata: Yes, we’ve met. Is there a mystery apaw?

Miss Marvel: You can all call me Jane. Yes, Agnes. We’d like to know if you can help us.

Ta-Natash: I’ll bet this about the marketplace robberies.

Pucmosis: Yes, Tash. We know you didn’t have anything to do with them, but we wondered if you may have some insights.

Tash: I can tell you this. The perpetrator seems to be capable but inexperienced.

Puckmosis: Why do you say that.

Violet-Ifa: The robberies are done very stealthily, but they made one major rookie mistake.

Alice-Ata: Yes. They tried to take a heavy wheel of cheese. The first rule of cheesetaking is never try to take something you can’t lift.

Hymn by Albert E. Brumley: I’ll Fly Away

In a while when I’m good and ready

I’ll fly away

I’m content to just walk around in circles,

Then I’ll fly away.

…….

I’ll fly away when I want to

I’ll fly away

’Till then just try

To make me leave and say goodbye

I’ll fly away!

…….

There’s a screen that’s open, when I want to

I’ll fly away!

To the outside I will go and then

I’ll fly away!

…….

I’ll fly away when I want to

I’ll fly away

’Till then just try

To make me leave and say goodbye

I’ll fly away!

…….

Just a few more days left in July

I’ll fly away

August will be coming by and by

I’ll fly away!

……

I’ll fly away when I want to

I’ll fly away

’Till then just try

To make me leave and say goodbye

I’ll fly away!

Jules, Jules, Jules, reexamine your situation Jules. You’re in a house full of cats. Cats, not surprisingly love to catch, play with and kill/eat bugs. It’s just part of their nature. It’s time Jules to find a safer, if not greener pasture. Otherwise……….

Mayhem erupted at the woman and mans house today when a pack of cats attacked an intruder. The July Bug reportedly broke into the residence uninvited. The brave cats defended their home and the humans from this menace with vigor. It is reported that July Bugs are quite tasty, especially with sriracha aioli. Film at eleven.

Now over to Elvis for the weather.

there’s a lot of cat in that Jules!

This is why you take the bug out the door and fling it.

OT: Sneak preview!

You clearly don’t understand how bugs work, Woman. You’re supposed to not even give them a choice in the matter.

Ok, I’ll ask—WHY is the Woman trying to push Jules out with the window screen in place? Panel two. It’s not there in 3 & 4.

In situations like this, cans of compressed air come in handy.

What about the song, Where Do The Boys Go, from Men Without Hats ??!! … :)

We walked around in circles singing ooo ha oh

I said we walked around for practically forever singing oo ha oh

I said our heads were filled with things that

Didn’t really matter anyway we’re singing ooo ha oh

I said we walked around for practically forever singing ooo ha oh

I Say-eeee !! … :)

OT

That July Bug must be part cat. :)

Ah yes the July Bug is back just in time for August.

“My mission here is not done!”

I look forward to Jules arrival all year … and he’s only here for two more days, sigh.

This is where the “Flicking Finger of Fate” comes in!

Apologies to Laugh-in and the “Fickled Finger of Fate” Award….

No fingers were harmed in the making of this Motion Picture.

“Didja ever get the feelin’ that ya wanted to go but ya wanted to stay…” IIRC, Jimmy Durante.

Decisions, decisions.

Buridan’s July Bug.

That is a REALLY big bug!

Do a little dance, make a little buzz, get down tonight.

I have an Idea! It’s a horrible one, but it’ll have to do

https://xkcd.com/1689/

Jules has a bet with Elvis too and he’s waiting to see if he’s going to win his bet.

If the woman wants the July bug to go outside, she should go out there and set up a kiddie pool full of water.

There’s nothing July bugs like more than to drown themselves in large bodies of water.

Well then, I might be inclined to give you a little incentive.

I have a bugcatcher; when I catch something in my room (usually late at night for some reason), I bring the whole thing downstairs, open the slider, and pull the trigger to open the plastic bristles. If it doesn’t drop/fly away, I rap the catcher sharply against the side of the slider. I’m showing you mercy, bug, but this is a limited time opportunity!

Toooooe beans!
