Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for April 01, 2023

Ora in ultimate cute mode WILL BRING THE THUNDER!!!!!

Where are the stairs?

Aren’t we all glad Lupin and Ora Zella can’t drive?

A porch outside the new bedroom. Yesss.

Movin’ on up

So the hallway is offset from the front of the house?

Thank you Goldie (and Georgia) for the new floor plan. I’m no longer confused. Nicely done!

My little racing feet will bring the thunder: “Rumba-rumba-rumba-rumba-rumba, WUMP”

(It took a little while to find the exact quote in the archives (https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2015/08/06). It was on the other side of the first Christmas special, and the screen always get blurry there, for some reason.)

So, OZ is causing all this thunder. Silly me, I thought it was the severe thunderstorm that just went past. (There are tornado warnings to the north of me.) This was the third line of storms to go through. There’s one more line to the west.

I seen doggles before but cattles? Moo?

Glad to see Lupin and Ora Z are being responsible and wearing eye protection while bringing the thunder! At those speeds a speck of dust, or fly, can do some real damage!

The little sunny room seems oddly proportioned. And where’s the toilet? Is it a “unit bath”?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

The Next Morning

Puckmosis: Time to head out to Floofnet’s Culinary School.

Elvis-Anum: I kind of like their saying the Ceiling Can Be a Floor. Too bad it’ll never catch on.

Beatrixia: Yeah, who would remember it?

Iggy: Has anyone seen Ora Z anywhere?

Puckmosis: I think she might have headed to the pond.

Ora Z: Splish, splash! I was taking a bath.

Bea: Well, at least she’ll be clean for breakfast.

Puckmosis: Violet and Tash?

The Royal Procurers: We’re here!

Elvis: Then let’s head out.

At Floofnet’s Culinary School

Floof: Welcome, everyone! We’ve been expecting you!

Elvis: On behalf of all of us, I present you with this gift of…oh, you know.

Floof: And how is that nephew of mine?

Puck: Fine. Busy as always.

Floof: Well, you let him know he’s always welcome to visit his uncle. Now to breakfast!

Lupin and Ora are going squirrelybonkers in the halls. I wonder if they are singing, “Wreck the halls with evil chasies!”

This can’t be right, can it? That T-shaped corridor is running the complete length of what should be the only outside wall of the nursery, which means that the nursery has either no windows, or only windows into the corridor, which would be an incredibly weird choice. The corridor being cross-shaped and running between the old bedroom and the nursery to the living room and up between the new bedroom and temporary storage would make a lot more sense.

OT: Trouble & Mischief

How did nobody knews there was so many rooms and big corridores hidden in building before they was found? It shoulda been obvious looking at building size from outside? And why would anyone hides perfectly fine rooms in building anyways?

I can’t wait to see how the hallways are going to be included in the raceway for the 2 am Running of the Cats.

Happy April 1st and it’s time to flip those BCN (or other) calendars!

Does that mean the new addition contained two new rooms? It still looks like a lot of space. Panel four gives me a flashback to Lupin with pineapple ring glasses. “Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Elton John!”(https://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/examining-the-evidence/)

“my little racing feet will bring the thunder” reminds me so much of our late Bruiser. Our first house had a very long hallway, who knew a three pound kitten could make that much noise!?

Thank the great Cat in the sky that we have BCN. For a few minutes each day, we can escape the world’s craziness and immerse ourselves in the antics of Ora, Lupin, et alia.

My two are fairly soft-footed, even when running around. Yum Yum, however, sounded like a small herd of elephants in full stampede (or should that be a herd of small elephants?). I miss that little meezer.

Thank you for all the kind words and prayers for my little Peaky P, she passed peacefully Friday at 4:18PM EST. The traveling vet was so nice and very compassionate, In 2015 I dug Chester’s grave in a snowstorm. While crying, I dug his mother’s next to his in the pouring rain this morning. I Couldn’t have picked a sadder and gloomier day. I have a small headstone I cut from Blue stone for both and will Dremel in the pertinent info for our little friends for posterity. It doesn’t seem like Roy and Poodle miss her much, but only time will tell. This particular batch of cats seems weird in that they don’t hang out or are buddies. When PK first came inside, it was contentious with our two at first. Poodle ignored her for the most part, Roy was her wrasslin’ buddy, and when she had her kittens he became a doting Uncle and helped to babysit and help raise them. Although with later regrets I gave 3 of them new families and kept Chester, who became inseparable with Roy right up until he suddenly died in his sleep cuddled next to Roy. I’m sure in their own way they feel a loss. I know my tiny “P Pickle” is at peace and no longer suffering. I will miss her the most.

Little sunny room for the kitties to hang out in

Nice map! I can just see the kitties carrying it around to learn the best routes. I also like that leaves a bit for the imagination. Dont want to spell things out to plainly.

so, where do People enter (& leave) the House?

is the Outside Door in the Living Room, or the Kitchen?

or one in each, lol.

Problem. There is only one bath and it is entered through the living room. Temp storage can possibly be split, but at what cost.

yes, but where is the front of the building and the back. Is this view showing the front at the bottom and the back at the top? Face it Georgia, you’re going to have to bite the bullet and make a 3d model of the house, perhaps of the many lost lego’s found under the couch!

[Voice of the Announcer] BCN Cats -- start your engines!!

::butt wiggles::

Vroom, VROOM

Ooh, Georgia could partner with Lego or someone and make kits to sell to US!

I can see Ora Zella taking those corners on two paws as she brings the thunder!"

A sunny room should have cat doors. And space for visiting cats!

Lupin and Ora definitely have a lot in common.

Well, it’s no Nürburgring, but it’s fit for purpose.

You’re the BEST, Georgia! Thank you for brightening every day.

And what’s more, they now own it—let the modifications commence! (Deep, subterranean, maniacal laughter …)

Great, a streaker and a werewolf racing all night long.

O.T. (Slightly)

Lupin has a kindred spirit.

OT: TinyKittens News!

With all the stress over the storms, I just got around to turning my calendars. I love this month’s BCN calendar page of an Angelic Pucky! If you don’t have a BCN calendar, you can preview all the pages at the link below. It’s currently on sale for $23.80.

Those goggled joyful faces are too darned cute!
