Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 11, 2023

OraZ arsonist! tail twitching, do you have any matches. Bunny phone still hilarious.

Ugh, kittens are SO EXHAUSTING.

Tommy, do not give Ora matches!

Ora the pyromeowniac. Tommy, never bring her presents. Especially if she asks.

This answers the question of were the little ones are. Has Ora officially met Tommy yet?

What parent has not experienced this while on the phone?

…I don’t care HOW mellow Puck was as a kitten, I’d lay money he caused Elvis to have a very similar reaction to the look Pucky’s giving OraZ at LEAST once. Some things are just built in to all kittens!

@Robin Harwood Sunday morning at 2AM US Eastern time, most of us Yanks will go back on our ‘Daylight Saving Time’. It shouldn’t affect Sunday’s Cartoons but it will on Monday. Don’t worry, the US Congress plans to put us on Daylight Saving time year round even though all sleep experts say this is a very bad idea. What the hell do experts know?

No, OZ, it would not help. And demanding the phone isn’t being good.

Gee! Doncha start the fire!

It is always churning, when she wants it burning

But she didn’t start the fire

No, she didn’t light it, fetched no match but tried it…

(We Didn’t Start the Fire / Billy Joel)

Matchmaker, Matchmaker,

Take me to a match,

Fire me up Sire,

Or you’ll catch a scratch

(Matchmaker / Michele Marsh)

Feline bedlam!!!

That phone is nearly a human-sized phone. And it came out of Puck’s pocket?!?!?!? I guess the Cats’ pockets are Magic Comic Spaces, too.

I am still chuckling over Puck’s face in the last panel, and Ora Zella’s tiny tail twitch.

At least we know where Ora is. Hide the matches!

And there they are – Ora and Iggy!!!

Ora, and Lupin, the reason they make cat-proof knobs for gas ranges! even if they are mistakenly labeled as child-proof!

I hope Ora stays a kitten forever.

The Room! The Room! The Room is on fiiiire! We don’t need no water, let the kitty litter BURN!

Yeeeah, that’s why I don’t have kids, LOL.

Kittens – gotta love ’em. Not to worry, Ora will find something else to wreck even without matches.

I’d like to hear Ora Zella’s definition of “good.”

Well, there are the kittens, not adventuring among the renovations. Ora Zella may be a chaos goblin, but she likes everyone! Of course, who wouldn’t want to chat with Tommy?

“Would it help if I started a fire?” The way Georgia draws Ora is absolutely perfect and so true to life. Please hide the matches.

Okay, everything even remotely connected with firestarting needs to be hidden from Ora Zella! That includes two sticks that can be rubbed together.

She took over his phone call! That’s so kitten! (Er… Small cat, I mean.)

Another avatar change.

This is the princess. Thought y’all might like to see her.

Not gives phones to little ones. They is gets addicted to the darn thing otherwise.

For a certain definition of “good.”

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times—I like that kitten.

OZ in a nutshell: Yes I’m being good. Do you have any matches?

Well, now we know Iggy and Ora Zella are in the room.

Adding, "Would it help if I started a fire? " to my life mottos Thanks Creator!

Not a chance, Ora. Can’t have you spreading chaos in the Big Pink House.

And now I’m reminded of this Mystery Science Theater 3000 skit:

Well, that answers the questions of where the kittens are – and a good thing, too! Good choice of isolation rooms, People. No matches in the nursery.

I LOVE this strip, this made me laugh out loud! Every parent in the world has had a phone conversation like this – Georgia is obviously a parent of both the human and fur variety.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: I would love to see the scrolls from the missing library at Meowlexandria. Are there any available?

Elvis-Anum: There are rumors that a few have turned up, but it’s not clear where.

Ora Z: What do you do with ancient scrolls. Can you eat them?

Bea: No.

Ora Z: Burn them?

Bea: Absolutely not! You read them.

Ora Z: But for that you have to sit still.

Bea: True. But if you can sit still long enough, you can find yourself on great adventures. Or learning of new skills. Here’s a classic: Where the Completely Out of Control Things Are Located.

Elvis: That scroll wasn’t there a moment ago.

Bea: I don’t know where it came from…Oh, Hi Agnes.

Agnes: We’ll never tell, but we can tell you there is treasure to be found.

I LOVE this strip, this made me laugh out loud! Every parent in the world has had this type of phone conversation. Georgia is obviously a mom to the human and fur variety.

Laughing and still more laughing. Ora Zella is a RIOT…and a brat of the highest order!

how are their phones that big and still fit in their pockets?

Ora Zella—Calvin as a cat!

This is precious as it is realistic

No Ora, it’s bad to start a fire. And typical kid, “yes, I’m being good…..” while having a very dirty face.

Hey, O.Z., I don’t have matches but I have this lovely butane toy blowtorch. not a toy Fire-starting is a very important life skill. Perhaps you should learn fire-stopping first, though.

Some sleep experts seem to prefer Standard Time year round. So it’s health vs. economics (money). Again.

Puck looks like the typical frustrated parent. And Ora Z is turning into a werewolf pyro.

Tommy and kittens. Yup.

There are the kittens! Aw, Ora Zella is almost the same size as the phone. Cute!

The expressive print of the handwritten “I’m on the phone” is one of my favorite things ever! How to get it printed up as a banner? I’m falling more in love with Puck everyday. His personality is so vividly painted with just 4 colors and a few lines and circles (his endearing paws). And I love Ora’s genuine belief that she is being good even as she plots arson.

Puck’s angry eyebrows, lol

On Twitter, Georgia is contemplating names for the nameless raccoons. One is definitely going to be named Spork.
