Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 28, 2023

Puck is so sweet, carrying Ora Z off to bed, with her chainsaw. But Elvis? What a Dad Cat, with his Precious lil Cherub! They will next star in One Sawed Thru the Cucko Clock!

I don’t know. As I recall, Elvis has some mixed feelings about the cuckoo clock.

“Loves to kick!” The sleepy face on the chainsaw is a nice touch.♥

Shards, Shards, everywhere Shards!

Bull in a china shop vs Tortie in an antiques store — who will wreak more havoc?

The boys’ experience with the cuckoo clock starts on 2018/08/28. Apparently, they decided, off screen, to call it a draw and stay away from each other.

But let her loose on the cursed secretarial.

In a previous life, Ora Zella ran one of those “rage rooms” where you can smash things and throw things and generally wreck the place. I’m told it’s cathartic – and that must have given previous Ora Zella a hint, because that has “cat” in it!

I wonder if Ora Zella will name her chainsaw? Not Buzzy, because Puck has Buzzy Mouse, but something girly, because it is after all a PINK chainsaw. Maybe go for the obvious and call her Pinky?

Did Ora Zella crash under the Christmas tree?

Even in her sleep she manages to find the pull cord on the chainsaw to keep it close.

A danger to all around her… But cute.

She really loves her new toy, even sleeping with it. Adorable!

Zzzzzz…I’ll get you…zzzzzzz…throw pillows…ha ha ha…,fluff…fluff, everywhere…Snooork! It’s snowin’…zzzzzzzzzzz!

Miley Cyrus: Wrecking Ball

I have my chain saw by my side

I saw, never asking why

Dear Puck found me underneath the tree

A saw no one could deny!

…….

I’ll never say I walked away

From mayhem and chaos

Running through the house with my first chain saw

I will always want to!

…….

I’ll come through like a wrecking ball!

I will always want to!

I live for chaos running through the house!

All I want is to wreck things,

Yeah, I want to wreck things!

Baby’s first (and hopefully last!) chainsaw.

Did Santa think to bring Ora Zella some protective eyewear?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: Mag-Lor goes on to talk about his father’s meeting with Borealis, of the Indignant People.

Borealis said, “Your jewels are beautiful, but what use are they? Here we need to be practical. We have no time for frivolity!”

Father replied, “Beauty is not frivolous, and there are uses for gemstones besides looking nice. I have used them to sharpen tools and weapons.”

Then Borealis said, “We live on the land, not venturing far from our village. But in years past some of our number were seafarers. Legend has it that they used a magical crystal called the sunstone. My people and I have often wished we had such a thing to navigate on land and sea.”

Father replied, “Perhaps I can be of help. Do you have any stories about your seafaring family?”

Borealis said, “We have no written language, but my son Australis is one of our storytellers. He can give you the history. And my daughter, his twin, Aurora, is a renowned artisan among our people.”

Then my brothers Amrod and Amrath, who are twins, had to ask. Amrod mentioned, “My brother and I are identical. Are your children identical twins as well?”

My brothers are mighty warriors, but neither one is noted for his listening ability.

Right now, Imp is sleeping with one paw on my keyboard. I expect chaos to ensue if I try to move him.

I think Ora Zella might need a course in proper chainsaw safety.

It is so cute when you take them off to bed and they are clutching their blankie, quacky-duck…or chainsaw. Then they grow up, and everything you say is wrong, or you just don’t get it, or you get the eye roll. I imagine that behavior is nature’s way of making the parent want to kick the offspring out of the nest.

Who but Georgia Dunn could make a weapon of mass destruction so cute?

Is that a little smiley face on the chainsaw as it goes to sleep? So cute!

There is nothing wrong with Ora Zella that a few weeks/months/years couldn’t solve in the psyche ward, or failing that, the juvenile detention center.

OT -personal update

Was Ora Zella trying to cut down the Vegas Fir?

I missed ‘babys’ first chainsaw’ label yesterday. It was too small and smashed together to see, even with the magnifying glass.

When all you have is a chainsaw, all your problems start looking like fragile mid-century heirlooms.

I googled “Baby’s First Chainsaw” and found that toy chainsaws actually exist, and look much like OZ’s. They buzz, but don’t cut. But if you want real action, they also have tiny chainsaws you can use in the kitchen to cut carrots for salad!

Georgia has outdone herself this Christmas! The cuteness factor in this entire arc is off the charts!

Starting to look like Ora Zella’s mom lived with the Addams family or something.

Reminds me of Ralphie falling asleep with his Red Ryder 200 Shot BB Gun – the best gift he ever received.

Even in sleep, no heirlooms are safe from being doomed.

So much cuteness, and even Baby’s First Chainsaw is happily snoozing!

Rabbit kicking in her sleep.

Heck Ya

Even the toy has sleeping eyes!

But the question is: will Ora Zella attack the creepy puppet?

Please?

What is Elvis wearing over his PJs?

Elvis is such an old softy.

Zork??

Baby’s 1st chainsaw asleep, putting away. OZ purring away, dreaming of carnage. Pucky the ever vigilant. (kick, kick, kick)

OT hero cat

This is a bit unrelated, but the “shards” made me think of it: yesterday at supper my sister and I had just finished putting jam on our respective muffins, and she dropped the butterknife in the almost-empty jar—and it kept going, straight through the glass. Maybe there was a weak point in the glass? Or the physics were just right? In any case, it punched a hole but didn’t shatter; I caught the butterknife reflexly, but it was actually caught inside by the thicker handle. I found a teeny glass shard on my plate, so my dad tossed that muffin & I got a new one. Better safe than sorry.
