Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 05, 2024

There’s so much truth to this. Here it’s 45 minutes or 8 hours. So I guess we’re lucky? Let’s hope Gutter and the crew have the very best of luck and bring our girl home soon!

We lost power today. Hoping it’s a couple hours and not 4 days.

So far, this is a very well planned operation.

ALSO I 3D printed the three original cats from BCN in white and am about to color them.

Whomever wondered yesterday what part Chitter and Chatter would play got their answer lightning-quick in daily comic time.

And Gutter will be the hero after all!!!

And Agnes is carefully documenting the whole thing.

Grappling hook! GO!

Operation GOGO is in full swing!

Unfortunately, have to get to bed as I have to get up early tomorrow. (sad face).

Fireworks Anxiety Relief Music Live Stream (now with more cute cats!) at Relax My Cat on YT: youtu. Be/ v00PBiiWOoI

Gutter, they might just hear it if you throw the grapple through the window…

Cue the music by Lalo Schifrin, composer of Mission Impossible theme, still around at 92.

They’re taking a screen test to eventually make it onto the security camera show…

Go boy go. I’m also happy Sophie will hopefully be free after maybe another week. This storyline is good …but man is it stressful

Does anyone understand what Chatter is being asked to do? I’m a tad confused.

With their state of the art security system, I would expect them to have a back up generator, which would really mess up the rescue.

Whee! Get her free!

Kind of reminding of the Dirty Dozen.

This is getting exciting!

Oh snap ! It’s a “Mission Impossible”. (can you hear the music yet?)

I screen, for freedom!!

Oh, SO true, Burt, yes!! AND water. I hate it when they cut off the water at our apartment. Back to Victorian times for us for either a few hours or days! Sure miss the Victorian bowl and ewer I left in England. Would really come in handy during those times.

Me is hope they is give em steenky extraterrestrials a sound beating so that they is never dares to comes back to earth and abducts anyone again.

Go mice Go!!

I have the misfortune of being at the very end of a particular section of the electrical grid that will lose power if a squirrel experiences flatulence within ten feet of a power line. It can be frustrating to be without power while I’m looking down at the end of the street where everyone still has it.

Burt’s right. It’s true.

The Robber Mice really know People. Get in there, Gutter!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Sophititi: I would like to do a tapestry for my descendant. Hopefully, the scrolls from the Library at Meowlexandria contain some information about what happened.

Beaver Lee Cleary: The 900s contain loads of information. We should keep looking.

Iggy: Jules just left for his annual July excursion. We can find out more from him when he gets back.

Beatrixia: I found something! It appears that year Independence Day and the Fourth of July fell on the same day. They had fireworks to celebrate.

Violet-Ifa: It’s a good thing Ora Z wasn’t there.

Bea: Anyway, here’s a transcript of what the Misguided People said:

Misguided Woman: The lights have all gone out! We have to make sure our cat is safe!

Husband: Yes, dear.

MW: And there’s a chickadee cutting a hole in our screen!

Husband: Uh-huh.

MW Not to mention a raccoon with a grappling hook and several mice with backpacks.

Husband: Don’t worry. They’re probably on a camping trip or something

Quick, Gutter, cut that screen and save our girl!

Years ago, I worked in a refurbished old mill building. We would lose power about once a month. Almost always for 1 hour.

Are there any linespersons, or persons of line, or whatever they are called in our enlightened age, to explain whether Burt is right and if so why?

“It takes either 10 minutes or 4 days to restore power.”

Again, Georgia’s Rhode Island heritage shines through. LOL.

Many moons ago I was visiting my childhood friend in Colorado (these trips to see her were pretty much the reason I moved to Colorado when I was 19) and one night the power went out. Her father came into the guest room with a flashlight, woke me up, handed me the flashlight, and was in the middle of explaining how the power was out but it shouldn’t be out for long and here’s a flashlight, etc. He was a bit puzzled by how blasé I was about it.

Gutter looks quietly determined. Not nervous, but serious. His heart is in this mission!

The power company feels they have to tell you something when they don’t have a freaking clue yet what is wrong.

We have power but down the street didn’t for several hours. Some dumb@$$ burnt his house down with illegal fireworks last night. It was a very entertaining show watching the fire department at work. We all figure to have a quiet New Year this year, as this is the same dumb@$$ that likes to shoot off illegal fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

If it is anything like the last moron from 5 years ago, it will be a while before the house is rebuilt. Insurance companies are reluctant to pay claims when the damage is caused by illegal activity. It was 18 months before the last one was able to move back into their house.

Gutter looks seriously determined!

Loving this…

O.T. Missing Member of the Orb

Chatter and ChitterGutter and GlitterHope they can git ’er!

No one has said yet that this is going a little too smoothly… I feel like we are sneaking around in a darkened house (not our own) with our fingers on the dial of a safe (also not our own) and slowly… the theme from Jaws starts to build. In other words, I have a bad feeling things are going to go sideways.

Lets hope that the jailers dont have a backup power source… or this won’t end well!

I’m impressed: there was a whole lot less noise and fuss last night! I don’t think the cats were bothered by the neighbors setting off fireworks, and I slept through what noise there was.

As an added bonus, there were no lost kitties in my yard this morning! Yay!

Those of us in areas prone to outages due to storms get much faster service than 4 days unless it is an apocalypse event like a major ice storm or a hurricane that can take down the power to most of the state.

Grappling hook? Check!

True story: we lost power last week for 4 days; we lost power yesterday for 10 minutes. I stg, it’s true!

He’s going to cut the screen with a grappling hook? Why not use a knife, or scissors?

Everything is going according to plan. We have faith in you, Gutter.

Hate how accurate this comic is

I knew Gutter would be there!

OT: but worth it. I just heard a noise outside. I look out the window? Two little, I mean little, fawns chasing each other through my yard! They were coming and going and going and coming. And then they were gone! LOL I didn’t see the Mama, but know she’s close by. Such a treat!

I am loving the sandwich bag glitter bombs strapped to the backs of Natasha, Alice, and Violet.♥

Glad to see interspecies cooperation. So far so good.

The rescue begins

The GOGO Gang Rides Again!

I had to get my foot rewrapped today. My doctor wasn’t there so I saw his very nice colleague. When I told him I had to be able to walk on it so I could take care of Foxy we started talking cats and he has one also, so I told him about BCN.

So first Sophie fell out of a screened window, now she’ll escape through a screened window? I admire the symmetry.

Ten minutes or four days eh? How about 16 days (minimum) to restore internet? I’ll never know how long it really took them, because we have changed providers now.
