Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for July 15, 2024

Business is just sew sew…

Natasha. The hero we need right now. Even Li’l Starfish Squeaker is happy to see her!

Why is she carrying a spool of thread?

Ah! She used it to rappel down from wherever they were (skylight/vent)!

Go, mousie, GO!

Oh. My. Cat, Indeed! Have I ever been so happy to see Natasha the Brave?

So many rescuers who care about Sophie!

Poor Sophie looks so distraight in Panel One, but then in Panel Two she looks so joyful!

Sophie toebeans of Joy! Panel Two. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I don’t understand the green hew of this arch… help please

Now the girls have real trouble. Rescue Sophie, rescue Gutter, stop Sophie having a panic attack. Win Gent over. A clean sweep may be impossible but three out of four is good.

Oh. My. Cat. Sophie’s two tiny paws tucked under her chin in joy is the sweetest thing.♥

Natasha, my Hero!

And flashback to the Thanksgiving pie incident (2019) — that looks like how Natasha dropped down onto the pie.

Send the Marines – Tom Lehrer

When someone takes a cat

But shouldn’t have done that

Who is it that always intervenes?

The Vet or Zoon Control

Make them your second call

But first – send the Murines!

There she is to save the day!

Hurry. The woman is bringing dinner. Hope the glitter bombs are set up and ready to go.

I want to see a mouse open a pantry. If ours could, they would.

Natasha! :-D

Now let’s get Sophie home <3 <3

Welp, now I really am crying. Tears of joy, but nonetheless…

HORAY… I swear this storyline’s going to give me a cornary. It’s somehow more stressful than the war arc last year

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Outside the Happy Healthy Hospital Pyramid

Pink Lupinium: Now, kitties, we’re going to make glitter food! Grab a donut, and some glitter sugar!

Kitten Asenath: Can we sprinkle different colors on our donut?

Pink Lupinium: You can sprinkle as many colors as you want. And you can use more than one donut.

Kitten Aya: Are we going to eat them when we’re done?

Pink Lupinium: Yes. And we’re going to make more for our friends who are still recovering.

Enter Ora Z

Ora Z: If you don’t want to eat your donut, you can wear the donut.

Kittens: Yay!

Sometime Later

Ora Z: And now, kittens, we’re going to have a donut fashion show!

Hazah…oops! I mean…HAZAH!!!

NO TIME FOR GREETINGS!! GO GET GUTTER!!

If they called animal control, could Sophie’s woman answer? She was the one who captured the owl. Then she would find Sophie and the awful people would be charged with stealing a cat… Cann’t wait to find out anyway!

YEA!! WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ WORDS! SAY HELLO TO OUR LITTLE GLITTER BOMBS!!

Let the fun begin!!!

Tasha’s got a ticket for some fast pain

Ain’t got time to stop to explain

Yeah, worry days be gone, must get Sophie home

Oh baby, just wanna float them some glitter

She don’t care how much blows up captors’ butts

Got to get back trapped two from those nuts

Rabid days are gone, must get Sophie home

Oy baby, things just-a got a lot better

Natasha always makes things go better

Anyway, yeah

-Wayne Carson Thompson-The Letter-The Box Tops

Rescuing the rescuer! Sophie looks so happy to see these folks helping her.

Mice freedom fighters

Go, Natasha, go! Free Gutter and Sophie, spread some glitter, and get out of there before animal control arrives!

From the Singing Marine: Song of the Murines, uh Marines

To the pantry, let’s go then!

We’re going to free, we’re going to free our friend!

Nobody knows where or when

But we’re gonna free, yes we’re gonna free our friend!

It may sparkle now, we all know how!

Sophie and Star, it’s not too far

We’ll free Gutter from the pantry and then

We’re shovin’ right off, we’re shovin’ right off for home

Again!

OT: Update on gorgeous gray tabby.

No time to say “goodbye”. “Hello.” I’m late. I’m late. I’m late.

The Murines have landed!

I’m trying to decide if the small line very near the edge of the panel line in the lower right corner of panel 4 is the slash mark (thus an opening) that Gutter made when he was starting to get Sophie out of the cage before he got locked in the pantry? Opinions?

Girl Mouse Power!!! And speaking of power, my electricity is back on after 7 days!!! Thank you to all in Orb who commented. I was hoarding scarce battery power, so I didn’t respond. Some in Houston area are still without power. As is That Woman, while Sophie’s rescue proceeds! Squeee!

I’m just loving this arc! :-)

I love that Natasha descended on a spool of thread. :)

The size of the heroes doesn’t matter, only that they are HEROES!

Natasha in the fourth panel bears a certain resemblance to Agatha the Golden Mouse in the Jules on Trial story arc of 2021.

OMC Georgia is the mistress of suspense!

Those people are in for a surprise. And not the good kind.

This is. better than anything on tv nowadays. Well written.

“Eek! A mouse!”

She knows: talking messes up a rescue. Needles to unlock the pantry. Check!

Think, Sophie, think! What can you do?

The mice have landed,

You go, girls!!!!!

From the halls of the Big Pink House

To the horrors of you know where,

We will free our friends from cages

no matter where they are.

Fist to fight for friends and freedom

and to keep our whiskers clean

We are proud to bear the title

Of Breaking Cat News Murines!

(Okay, not so good, but I’m not in our resident filkers’ league.)

Hey! BCN made GoComics’s Recommended Comics List!

MacGyver could learn a thing or two from Natasha!

I love a team effort!
