Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 18, 2024

The Calvary has arrived!!

Whoa! Chitter and Chatter are with Gutter. He’s wearing the cans! Obviously this must be sanctioned by Queen Mag herself!

Expert help is here!

Today’s music is “Summon the Heroes”! (A real piece!)

Well, he looks extremely well prepared!

Yay! Gutter is here! He’ll find her!

The boy takes a stand. And also has a grappling hook

The cavalry has arrived! And his kit makes Batman look like an amateur! Go get our girl Gutter!

OT: Reposted from late yesterday: SPCA New Zealand Pets of the Year competition & Troublicious

Lupin’s despair is palpable!

Oh, goodness. Now we know why Gutter wears half a goggle.

Help is here! Good!

Instantly makes me smile!! And Elvis is even smiling – there’s hope.

I wonder if there is a team behind him at the window. He did say “we”.

“Everything is still awful” is just the normal news.

And loaded for Bear. I see.

The number of cats in this cartoon is outta control! I long for the olden days, days when the characters were fewer and their personalities memorable. I just can’t keep track of who’s who anymore. :(

Gutter on the go!

I’m suddenly hearing music. Wait, there’s lyrics as well. “Here he comes to save the day!” Is anyone else hearing this?

As someone who has worked professional Search and Rescue, I commend the racoons for contacting the search headquarters before getting involved. A coordinated search for missing persons involves proper communications to ensure all areas are covered and nothing is missed. I hope Junebug shows up to provide aerial support.

Elvis has such a sweet, hopeful smile today!

Lupin doesn’t have the energy to sit up straight today. He is full of woe.

All hail the Raccoon Court! Thus enters our hero as many hoped.

Motivated by his Heart, Gutter leads the way! He shall find her. ❤

With apologies to Shakespeare and the butchering of his 130th Sonnet:

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the trash;

Ketchup is far more red than her tongue red;

If trash be tasty, why then her cat food is mash

If fur be soft, then soft fur grows on her head.

I have seen bins damasked, yellow and red,

But no bins see I in her furry cheeks;

And in some pheromones is there less delight

Than in the smells that from my mistress leaks.

I love to hear her meow, yet well I know

That trumpets have a far more shrieking sound;

I grant I never saw a grand sow go;

My mistress, when she pads, leaps off the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

Gutter shall find his love. ♡｡ﾟ.(♡´‿` 人´‿` ♡)ﾟ♡ °・

For my Precious-girl, Maine C o o n gorgeous girl . . . RIP. That raccoon loved you dearly and didn’t quite know how to show it properly. ❤

He’s got a grappling hook, and two live, drones! He means business! Go get her, Gutty!

A kitty monocle !!! Remind me of the movie " Can I do it ‘till I need Glasses ?" The librarian with the magnifying glass in front of his eye, and his eyeball is like 4 inches big. Then he takes the magnifying glass away from his eye, and it’s still the same size !!

Do we have Sophie’s knight in shiny (kind of) armor!

Checks that secret hideout in the woods, raccoon, before it too late and steenky aliens is eats cat.

Go get her, Gutter!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile (Classic Edition)

Thomios: And now for dessert. Itame-San, will you do the honors?

Itame-San: I am pleased to present to you Thomios’ renowned Chocolate Everything as well as some of our own desserts.

Puckmosis: Is that banana in this dessert?

Itame-San: Indeed it is. We cover the banana with pistachio nuts and chocolate and serve it in the form of our sushi.

Elvis-Anum: I’ll have some more green tea cookies and green tea ice cream to go with my green tea.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: And this creme caramel is divine. What is it called again?

Itame-San: It is called Purin.

Lupinium: I have to try some of this coffee jelly!

Puckmosis: Uh, Thomios?

Thomios: Don’t worry. We made it with decatf.

Splendid outfit!

Aww, Gutter! He will be Sophie’s knight in – semi-shiny? tarnished? – armor!!

This gives me great hope! Especially with the climbing gear, glass-breaking equipment and aerial reconnaissance system (aka Chitter and Chatter).

That outfit reminds me of the character Joxxer from the old Xena: Warrior Princess show. Of course, Joxxer was comic relief, whereas Gutter intends to be the gallant hero.

Hooray, those who said it yesterday were right. The raccoons have come to help! They will probably be pretty useful at extricating Sophie from her predicament as well.

The search is long

With many a winding turn

That leads us to who knows where, who knows where

But we’re strong

Strong enough to search for her

We will find her, she’s our sister

… So on we go

Her welfare is of our concern

No burden is she to find

We’ll get there

… For I know

She would do the same for me

We will find her, she’s our sister

… If I’m laden at all

I’m laden with sadness

That Sophies still lost

It fills my heart with a madness

For we all love one another

… It’s a long, long road

From which there is no return

While we’re on the way to there

We will share

… And the search

Doesn’t weigh us down at all

We will find her, she’s our sister

…she’s our sister

We will find her, she’s our sister

We will find her, she’s our sister

Yay, Gutter!

I just noticed that both Sophie and Gutter have health issues with one of their eyes — her left eye, and his right eye? it’s almost as if they are mirroring each other?

Although veteran reporters, Lupin and Elvis can’t hide their emotions, from Lupin’s total depression to Elvis’s sweet hopefulness.

Now things are heating up!

Here comes Mad Max: Lost Kitty.

I cannot help but see a parallel between Gutter and Odin. This bodes well, indeed.

No dream team like a raccoon & animal companions!

Our hero has arrived!

Gutter is ready to face any challenge to help rescue Sophie!

Gutter will the hero to save Sophie.

Yeah, the Racoon Court!!

That grappling hook! Remember the scene in Star Wars (Ep. 4, 1977) where Luke was rescuing Leia, and he grabbed her and they swung together? Okaaay. I need a Gutter and Sophie scene like that!

Gutter is gonna get her, with Chitter and Chatter!

I’m hearing music too (I don’t filk as well as KK)

Risin’ up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet

Just a raccoon and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past

You must fight just to keep them alive

It’s the eye of the Gutter, it’s the thrill of the search,

Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor seeks his love

And he’s watching us all with the eye of the Gutter

Off-Topic Post

OT: Sleeping in & stuff…

A hero emerges!

I have a suspicion that Sophie is going to have a hand in her own rescue. Our delicate local eccentric has strengths she (and we) don’t know yet.

Guess what day it is today friends. It is INTERNATIONAL PICANIC DAY! See ya in the picanic grounds. – ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ -

Gutter has come seriously loaded with equipment. Eat your heart out, Inspector Gadget.

‘If you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise.If you go down in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise.For every bear that ever there was is gathered there together because Today’s the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic.’

“It’s easy to be a superhero if you have the right tools!”

Now we’re talking. Raccoons are very good at finding things.

OT – My FCE

OT

OT: weather in the Gulf of Mexico.

I have two problems. One is the inability to post links. The other is that my Facebook friend (who went to church with me when I was a teenager) posted it and while he got it from somewhere, I’m not sure where.

The sweetest calico kitten is hesitant to go home with the dog but the dog just keeps encouraging it and it finally ends up at its new home.

Here’s the song that sprang to my mind: Where have all the good men goneAnd where are all the Gods?Where’s the street-wise HerculesTo fight the rising odds?

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?Late at night I toss and I turnAnd I dream of what I need

I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero‘Til the end of the nightHe’s gotta be strongAnd he’s gotta be fastAnd he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero‘Til the morning lightHe’s gotta be sureAnd it’s gotta be soonAnd he’s gotta be larger than life(Larger than life)Go Gutter

O.T. – Willie Mays has passed

As much as I hate raccoons, and I have a legitimate reason for this, I have to say that if anyone can track Sophie, they can!
