Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 18, 2023

Elvis’ anger is beautiful. But not as beautiful as a visit from Tillie. They truly are never forgotten. They never leave us.

Much, much older.

Looks like someone might even have left a note or two on the doorway!

Lol I see the cool S everyone used to draw.

Hi Tillie!

Who is that ghost cat?

“That’s right, kiddo. Many’s the time the Tillster scooted right up that door.” WINK

Hey! Halloween is past!

And Ora Zella fell asleep. Don’t blame her, she was yelling like there was no tomorrow.

I used to remember my cat sleeping on my lap. Just too cute to imagine!! Ahhh, memories…

Tilly! We’ve been waiting for you, old girl!

I knew it! I knew it! Tilly and Ora are aDOORable! (And no door’s able to resist)

Kittens can take over the world easily, because we’d let them, whilst cooing about how cute they are.

Eh no way cat climb that in old days wearing that kinda dress.

You are, as always, right, Elvis. But you owe your current position to that fact.

Good to know someone was watching over her. As opposed to watching from under her.

From WW I, Robert LLoyd: Good Morning, Mr. Zip Zip Zip

This morning I went Zip, Zip, Zip

Running up door jamb fine

This morning I went Zip, Zip, Zip

No all the claw marks are mine!

Tillie, and others have run there, too

With Puck to help me I came down, true

This morning I went Zip, Zip, Zip

Now I’m ready for a nap ’till nine!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Puckmosis: Have any of you seen Ora Z lately?

Arachna: Yes. In fact, she’s right here testing the strength of my web art.

Puck: There you are. Let’s let Ari finish here web.

Ari: Oh, no problem. I’m glad my art is strong enough to stand the test of time.

Maat-Tilda: I remember back in the day I was quite a climber, too.

Sophititi: Anything to get the creative juices flowing.

Puck: Speaking of juices, Thomios has juice and scones in the small dining room.

Ora Z: I’m on it!

The Ladies: So are we!

ᶻᶻᶻᶻᶻᶻ ˢⁿᵒʳᵉ ᶻᶻᶻᶻ ♥

This one made my screen blur badly for some reason this morning. Must just be one of those days…

Kittens get away with everything and they’re exhausting.

That cool “S” that we drew when we were in school, way back in the 90s!!

Elvis, really. You remember being a kitten, don’t you?

Oh look, it’s Tillie! Hi, Tillie! :D

Tillie!

Memories

Etched in edges of the frame

Tillie left some deep-cut memories

Ora’s not all to blame

Scattered scratches

Of her climbs are left behind

Carvings the Woman discovered

As Tillie laughs and purrs

So it’s adventures

She can remember

Whenever she remembers

Good times that were

Fun climbs that were

- Marvin Hamlisch / Marilyn Bergman / Alan Bergman – The Way We Were

OZ has had her adventure, now time for a nap on The Woman. I love her snores!

From hysterical shrieking to completely zonked out in less than a minute – that’s gotta be a new kitten record. (Er, excuse me…small cat.)

where is dear, sweet, docile, Lupin??

What a little scamp saying “GOOD” when being told off for damaging the wood trim. :D

OT: Picture perfect launch…

Slightly OT:

That’s, Smol’ Cats, get away with everything, Elvis!

Tillie! Wonderful to have a visit from our ghost cat! It is still fall, after all.

It’s wonderful to see you again, Tillie, old girl!

Elvis, you act as though “kittens get away with everything” is actually news!

I love ghost cats!!!

Now I think the first frame should be a mug lol we have a kitten, Meisha, and she does get away with everything. :)

Damage is her middle name

Hello, Tillie – long time, no see!

How’s that for wish fulfillment? I said yesterday that those door frames had seen more action than just Ora Zella, and I hoped that we would see evidence of it someday!

Good thing the Woman doesn’t have to worry about getting a damage deposit back.

Tilly!!!! Poor little kitten tired herself out.

Our place was completely new in 2009, we waited a year before getting Poodle Boo, so she got to be the 1st to scratch up our doorways.

Ora Zella the Destroyer!

Oh my Cat, Tillie has returned! It’s great to see her every now and then.

None of my cats ever scratched a doorframe until Cindy Lou. She went about it very casually and methodically, which made me wonder what the doorways in her former home looked like. However, she only did this in the doorway to “her” room—I imagine it was a visible warning to the boys to stay out. It continues to work. The only one who voluntarily enters that room is Tucker, and he only goes in long enough to use his private litterbox.

TILLIE!

Tillie!!

Hi Tilly!

Tillie looks like she’s thinking, " The torch has been passed, the door frame scrammed. Well done, padawan."

I love Tillie’s pose and expression in the last panel, purrfectly evocative.

Of course, who else?

lol yes kittens get away with everything they’re cute …its what kept the caveman from eating them when cave cats was being rotten little monsters lol

Who might this be?

Holly Bear is our door-frame destroyer.

Yes, Elvis, they do. As did you when you were a kitten.

Alert! Tots adorbs photo of OZ on Georgia’s FB this evening.

Oooh!

So who’s the ghost cat in the last panel?

tillie! i am so happy to see you! <3 <3

OZ looks so sweet in cell 2.

Ora Zella falls asleep instantly once she’s safe.
