Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 08, 2022

A woman after my own heart! (Even though I’m a man)

There are few problems in life that can’t be fixed with a good bashing tool!

(And, if the problem cant be fixed with a bashing tool, try duct tape.)

Alrighty, here we go!

The People to the rescue! And Bea couldn’t be more excited!

YESSSS! Such good People!

About time they opened that door.

And get Lupin. Lupin with a hammer will be the fastest way in!

OT

And to think that Elvis was banished for his earlier attempt.

If I had a hammer

I’d hammer in the midnight

I’d hammer until morning

All over this house

I’d hammer out the strange sounds

I’d hammer out the whining

I’d hammer out rough between

The addition and my kitties, ah-ah

All over this house

(If I Had a Hammer / Trini Lopez)

“It sounds hurt” “GET THE HAMMER???” Oh, right. To get into the addition? Phew. Be calm my beating heart, the woman’s not gone psychopathic…

Oh my cat, I love Bea’s toothy smile in the first panel! It shows how fangful she is that the people are coming to the rescue…

Great idea. Break off the spackle, and then open the door that stands between them and doom.

Oh, it’s ON! Hooray!

Woman: “Get the Hammer!!!!!!”

Whatever-that-be-in-the-addition: “Can’t touch this!!!! dun dada da, dada dada!!”

I have a feeling that what follows will be one of those memories that the Boy and Girl will cherish for life…

Surely The Woman should see if it’s friendly before arming herself?

Four days. Make good use of the weekend.

Oh what cat-astrophe awaits on the unseen side of wall…

OT. Good news

I’m glad at least one of the cats (kitten) is having fun.

Okay, now I really called it. Perhaps this is truly why Freddie was showing the Women the new addition, because she knew they’d need to go in there and save some cats! Definitely a mission she would approve of.

The Woman: It sounds hurt… GET THE HAMMER!

Hey! Ho! Let’s go!

Dionne Warwick and Friends: That’s What Friends Are For

Now we can hear something behind the wall

Let’s not be afraid at all

Sounds like someone needs our help now

And if there’s a way we can assist,

Rest assured we’ll never miss

So just keep on hanging in there!

…….

Keep smiling, keep shining

Knowing you can always count on “we,” for sure!

Because that’s what friends are for!

No need to keep hiding

Behind the hidden wall for evermore!

We’re right there, that’s what friends are for!

…….

Friends We Have Yet to Meet: Well, you’re coming to rescue “we,”

We need help, as you will see

So for this we do thank you

And though, we don’t know you at all,

Somehow I know you won’t let us fall,

So we will do as you recommend to,

…….

Keep shining, keep smiling

Knowing we can really count on “thee,”

That’s for sure,

In good times, in bad times,

We know we can count on you forevermore

Because that’s what friends are for!

Hi there,

A hammer can solve most things in life; the key is knowing how hard to use it. As an authority on taking down walls, it can be great therapy for anxiety, when having a bad day, or even general malaise.

Thanks to all the well-wishers on the Orb, particularly Scaeva, for keeping everyone informed. I was wiped out after Thursday, and Friday was a fog. Here’s hoping the worst part is over for Marie and healing can commence.

Never turn away if something may need help…good woman!

Don’t hammer too hard, you will frighten those desperados.

Stop, hammer time! Apparently Iggy is too legit to quit yowling

YEEEEEEESS!

Sound the alarm and slide down the pole!

Stop hammer time!

And all the plot threads are tied together in a neat little Iggy

I’m thinking their first aid kit has a hammer in it and some band-aids from the 20th century.

OT radio…

Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE your strip?!?

Let’s go save a CAT!

Yet another Off-topic post

Save the Cat! Or whatever it is.

The Woman and Man know what’s important. The frightened kids in their arms while they rescue other frightened and hurt kittens. My heroes.

Stay tuned for next week, when The Wall Hits Back!

Beatrix is hot on the trail of a scoop.

Yay! The People are such a blessing.

Call Robert Irvine to bring his sledgehammer!

CHECK!!!

I’m ready!

Reminds me of a conversation my friend had with her then-young son.

Her: What are you doing?

Him: Nothing…

Her: What are you doing it with?

Him: A hammer…

So much for all that hard replastering work she did. Go into the new addition so the undead kitty and renfield kitty can get at them and suck their…

What would undead kitties suck? Bood? Tuna juice straight through the can? Hair?

Woohoo!

Make coffee—it’s going to be a long night and you’re going to wake the neighbors!
