Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 10, 2024

I wasn’t expecting to see Wesley, that was sweet. He’s really good-hearted.

Panel 4 would make a great greeting card. Wherever you go……Whatever you do……. I hope there’s cheese!

Yes, Alice, you can definitely help! Please, that would be wonderful.

Maybe the Raccoons and Opossums can help and keep on the lookout too. Even Jules, he sure gets around.

Glad to see Wesley is both within walking distance of the cats and did actually care on some level. Also it’s sad to see both him and rainbow sad. (Please Georgia name the rest of them)

No matter who you are, Jesus will always love you. Amen.

I really don’t like this story line. My nagging fear is that the apartment maintenance men will leave one of the doors open and my boys will get scared and bolt. (They’re both chipped, but it doesn’t make one iota of difference.)

Too late now. She’s lost and gone forever.

Clearly, for Wesley cheese is life!

Not even the ferrets know where she is… But Tommy, apparently, knows where the Ferrets live and has kept it to himself…

Let there be cheese…

Everyone’s worried, and rightfully so.

I’ve had that scare. At least Achilles made his way back both times, whereas Honor never did.

Loaner Cat has gotten too old to want to venture outside anymore. She’s happy to sit in front of any open door and just enjoy the breeze, but the two or three times she’d gotten out when she was young, she’d make it about a foot from the door and flatten into a carpet and refuse to move until I picked her up. She wasn’t going anywhere. If I put her harness on her, she’d take a few steps, but that was it. There’s not an ancestor’s bone in her body.

Cheese is comforting…

Raccoon update! Our raccoons are the best raccoons. I won’t hear any argument. We have five mommas right now: two sets of two babies, one set of three, and two singletons. Plus Plushie Bear the big male, five yearling males who have banded together after being kicked out by their mums, and Possum Buddy the unsocialized weirdo who bonded with an opossum after being orphaned as a baby. Tonight all mommas and babies had a playdate on my back patio and the babies were playing King of the Kiddie Pool while the mommas went around hunting snakes. I used to have a problem with water moccasins before the raccoons moved in, now they dispatch all snakes without mercy. There is nothing in the world cuter than baby raccoons in a kiddie pool. I gave them a couple of kongs and they take turns hunting it in the water. Getting a night vision camera for the back yard has been a wonderful adventure.

Come on doggie. Use that doggie nose of yours and tracks er down!

Nobody saw her. This can only means one theeng. Obviously it was aliens.

For some reason I find Wesley’s sentiment to be touching. Sure, it’s all about cheese, but he does seem saddened.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile (Classic Edition)

Alice-Ata: It’s an honor and a pleasure to meet you, Nezumi-San.

Nezumi-San: The pleasure is mine. I have always wanted to meet the Four Egyptian Royal Procurers. That is why I have joined the delegation unofficially.

Agnes-Ata: Do you know where we can find origami paper nearby?

Nezumi-San: On board our ship there is paper available, but I have been unable to take it by myself.

Ta-Natash: Of course. There’s the first rule of Procurement.

All: Never try to take anything you can’t lift.

Coming back from the ship

Violet-Ifa: Oh, there’s Beatrixia and one of the delegation. Where are you guys headed?

Bea: This is Shisho-San, the Royal Librarian to Japan. We’re going to the Great Pyramid to see the No Longer Hidden Library.

Shisho-San: I see you have a ream of paper. What is it for?

Nezumi-San: Oh, we’re just taking this to the Artisans for an origami demo. Ohariko-san knows all about it, of course.

Shisho-San: I have no doubt.

I first thought Wesley was a koala, and I was trying to remember if one had appeared in the strip.

Oh, where, oh, where

Has our little Sophie gone?

Oh, where, oh, where

Can she be?

With her ears perked up

And his tail puffed out,

Oh, where, oh, where

Can she be?

Oh where, oh where

Has our little Sophie gone?

Oh, where, oh, where

Can she be?

What a friend we have in cheeses!

OT: small chaos update

It’s sweet of Wesley to be concerned for Sophie.

We definitely need Natasha on the case!

Wesley actually seems concerned. Very nice. I hope we see both the perspective of Sophie and the searchers this week.

She’s sittin’ in a sad situation

From a thicket to miscommunication

Her friends still doin’ all they can

Even Robber Mice offer a hand

Pull out all stops and quickly plan

For a poet and artist they’ll stand

Homeward bound

They wish she was

Homeward bound

Home where her life is great and

Home where she loves creatin’

Home where her window’s waitin’

Silently, Sophie

- Paul Simon – Homeward Bound

Maybe the July-bug could come early and help,out??

We need a hero. Specifically a RACOON HERO!

Yes, Natasha! You all can be a big help!

Wesley is a simple soul with a good heart. He is clearly worried about Sophie.

OT – Peta’s sibling

We’ll always have cheese.

Along with some handicrafts to keep her artistic mind active.

Hmmm, could a star and two exclamation points in the upper right hand corner of panel four signify something other than typical ferret activity?

Let there be cheese for us

And let it be all for me.

Let there be cheese for us

The cheese that was meant for me.

What? Sophie is missing

Where no one can see.

Let there be cheese for us

And rescue for Sophie.

Is anyone else getting old school Carmen Sandiego vibes? These remind me of the answers when you flew to the wrong city.

They know she was put in a car—why are they searching so locally? Doesn’t The Woman have what’s needed for them to make some ‘missing cat’ signs?

Help from the mice.

This story arc has me stressed.

Newbie here- would somebody please identify all the other cats (plus a big dog?!) shown today, Thanks.

I think the Robber Mice will be most helpful in this story.
