Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 28, 2023

Or maybe the hokey pokey!

The Rocky Horror of the new rooms.

Loving Goldie taking notes/drawing the map. =D

Bounce with it, girl! Dance with it, girl!

I will always applaud a Rocky Horror reference.

..and squeeze you knees in tight!

I wonder if this is where Georgia got the inspiration for Tommy’s shirts?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Alright, reading further, it says:

The Library at Meowlexandria stood for many decades as a repository of knowledge that no one was allowed to access. Then one day a fire started. To this day no one knows who or what caused it. Unless it was the toasting of marshmallows for s’mores in the main lobby.

Ora Zed: Wow! S’mores and a fire! Wish I could’ve been there!

Puckmosis: Sometimes we just have to enjoy the time we’re in. Anyway, moving on:

We had the help of many members of the Ancient and Accepted Procurers’ Guild to rescue the scrolls. Where they took them is a matter of conjecture.

Beatrixia: Do you think the Royal Procurers know anything?

Puck: We can ask, but I don’t know if they’ll tell us anything.

Beatrixia: No harm in asking.

Ora Z: What can we harm?

Sometime Later

Puckmosis: So that’s the story of the Library at Meowlexandria that we know so far. Can you shed any light on it?

Agnes-Ata: I’m sure the mice at the time helped with rescuing the scrolls, but what happened afterwards I’m not sure. Actually, the Beaver’s branch of the A and A Procurer’s Guild specializes more in scrolls.

Puck: I know who we can ask.

Violet-Ifa: Yes. My old friend Beaver Lee Cleary is the librarian at the Afar Branch.

Puck: Looks like a trip to Afar is in our future.

Oh, I really want to take Ora Z to an art-house theater and watch Rocky Horror on the big screen! I’d bet she’d love it — hurling rolls of toilet paper, firing water pistols, and shouting, “Buy an umbrella, you cheap bleep!” at the appropriate moment.

Raising that kitten right…

Ora is so cute. Glad to see she’s learning the classics! Hopefully they won’t throw any toast!

If you put enough zest into it, maybe you’ll warp into dinnertime.

And…. A barrel rolling Toebean exposure!

OK, who’s showing her those films?

Where’d that little stinker learn That ?!  ;-p

Good thing or as too young to process rocky horror. Though now I want the adult cats in rocky horror cosplay.

Frank-n-purrer?

It has been awhile since I have seen Rocky Horror. It used to be a staple of midnight movies at many cinemas but recently, at least in the Tampa area, has been relegated to showing at our historic Tampa Theater which shows mostly older classic movies at select times of the year and Rocky Horror often gets slotted in October, right before Halloween. Other than that a cinema at the student union at USF shows it a few times a year and a drive-in out in Lakeland shows in on weekends in October, that is it to the best of my knowledge. The drive in does sound like it would be a fun experience though, nice nostalgic blast from the past.

That might explain Ora Zella’s behavior. …“it really drives you insaaaaaane”…

Puck’s quizzical eyebrows in the last panel! Love ’em.

It’s the “Time Warp” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show imho.

Throw your toe beans up and dance!

TIME WARP. ❤

I stated before that Rocky Horror was the first R-rated film I ever saw. That only happened because I heard Time Warp and absolutely loved it!

Thanks, Ora. :D

Teamwork. Love it!

A tortie can be a willful, opinionated, bossy little ball of fur. Mine is no exception. The potassium deficiency could be on the nose. Yesterday, she walked to the bathroom and back before her legs got tired. One of the things that happened was she wasn’t eating on schedule with the others when she was ruling from her throne in the office. Sure, she’d eat eventually, most likely when I was a work. But only after all the others left nothing but scraps. I would give her extra kibble to hold her over during the day. I have some potassium supplement, I will see if I can titrate it down enough to add to some wet food. Sounds easier than trying to give her a banana! She absolutely refuses to sleep on anything soft! since she was a kitten, she would eschew traditional cat comforts like beds, couches, blankets. This little lady prefers the hard floor, deck, railing, back of chair.

I want to see Ora Zella with a gold glitter top hat doing “Columbia’s” tap dance.

Welp….there’s an ear worm I’m gonna have all day…“let’s do the time warp again”

Sound like a keep fit class!!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

David Bowie: (Aw, You Know)

Let’s dance!

All show your toe beans and dance the blues away!

Let’s dance!

To the music they’re playing that we all know!

Today!

The window lights up your face!

Today!

Dance to the time warp all over the place!

…….

If you say “right”

I’ll jump with you

And if you say “left”

I’ll step

It’s what I love to do!

Let’s all dance all through and through

And nap for many hours!

…….

Let’s dance

Let’s dance

Let’s dance through day and all

Let’s dance

Until the night will fall

Let’s play

Let’s run around the room!

Let’s sway

Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight!

…….

If you say “right”

I’ll jump with you

And if you say “left”

I’ll step

It’s what I love to do!

Let’s all dance all through and through

And nap for many hours!

…….

Let’s dance!

All show your toe beans and dance the blues away!

Let’s dance!

To the music they’re playing that we all know!

Today!

The window lights up your face!

Today!

Dance to the time warp all over the place!

We’ll do the time warp agaaaain

Well, I really want to see this map now. In a different life, I would have loved to be a cat-ographer.

Ora, shouldn’t that be “put your paws on your hips”?

And bring your knees in tiiiiiiigggghhhttt!!!!

Ora Zella is a Rocky Horror fan?

ROCKY HORROR!!!! I LOVE IT!

So, who taught Ora Zella the words and the dance?

And bring your knees in tight,

The Big Pink House does bear a startling similarity to the Frankenstein Place…

Put it on the map anyway, Goldie, just in case!

Cats have hands? That’s a different comic strip.

“Let’s do the Cat-Warp” again!

Time Warp?

Whoops! Hokey-Pokey!

Somehow I’m not surprised that The Artist is a Rocky Horror fan. I myself have never seen this in a theatre. Seen it plenty of times on TV, including watching it all the way through at work, while co-workers covered for me.

I’ve never seen Rocky Horror, and have no desire to do so. I avoided it at SF cons for years. So I’m not getting the references. Oh well, De gustibus non disputandem est.

Isn’t OZ a bit young for ROCKY HORROR? Maybe, she saw the Hillywood version of the song by “Tennant’s” Who?

So tiny, and she already knows Rocky Horror—good job, Ora Zella!

“It’s astounding…..Time is fleeting”

All that information might require a bigger map.

You put your kitty beans in, you take your kitty beans out, you put your kitty beans in, and you shake them all about…

She’s a wild and an untamed thing.

I see the Intrepid Initial Exploration Team are all still in their hazmat suits. Or back in them, I assume, in Lupin’s case, unless his was designed like a ghillie suit.

So many points for the Rocky Horror reference!

How is that kitten old enough to know the Time Warp!?

OZ and Lupin are experts.

OZ not taking catography very seriously. And Goldie continuing to write/draw through it all. Can’s wait to see that map!!

Ok, I’m 160 comments late to the party today, so I’m sure it’s been said and said again, but I can’t help myself so here goes: “Let’s do the Time Warp again!” Whee and Squeee!!

Also, RSORTBITA [rear toe beans in the air], Squeee!

How does a kitten like Ora Zella (ok, small cat!) even know “The Time Warp”?

Not a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It’s just never held my interest. One of my sisters used to enjoy it.

“Cat-ographers”! I love it!

Now for audience participation, what I’d like to see sometime is Richard III as performed in one of the Thursday Next books!

When I saw RHPS the second time, (the first time no one told me what to expect) everyone said I had to do Columbia’s tap dance. I was dressed as Magenta and had never done tap before, but I got really good at it. Eventually I was able to duplicate the costume. Sequins and tap shoes are expensive.

Yup, doing the time warp!

What will she do when it’s time to “bring your knees in tight?”

O.T. Follow up

Thanks again to you all for the prayers and purrs, etc. for my BIL and his surgery on Monday. All went well and he will be home in a few days.

You guys ROCk, in case I haven’t mentioned that recently!

Why is no one commenting on the fact that Puck is naked?

So … I guess it’s meatloaf, again?

The pelvic thrust can drive you insaaannnee!! Let’s do the Time Warp agaaaiiiinnn!

Well, if they run into an eldritch horror made of sound that they need to disrupt, they’ll be ready!

I hope at least one person gets this joke.

::snort:: Ora Z’s definitely been watching stuff above her age limit . . . ;)

EARWORM ALERT!! I’ve had Time Warp running through my head for two days. Make it stop!!

After I first saw Rocky Horror Picture Show, I managed to get an LP of The Rocky Horror Show. Not Picture Show; the stage play.

It has an extra song in it — somewhat forgettable, but it was required to shove Brad in front of the curtain to sing this while they madly constructed the “Color My World” set behind the curtain.

Brad sneaked out of the previous scene early to get his corset on, and they threw a lab coat over him.

And trivia for those of you who didn’t already know it — the actor playing Riff Raff in the movie is the guy who wrote the whole stage show.
