Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 01, 2024

Sunday Funday

A few rubs and purrs would do wonders. Just my purrsonal opinion…

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr…rrrrrrrrrr…..rrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm

Yes yes yes! Write that children’s book! The Orb will buy it and we’ll be here for you the whole way!

Well, Tabitha, I’m good on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 of your instructions. But that 5th one is a non-starter.

Sara does this by ramming her head into my hand. I find nuzzling her head quite relaxing. Gracie’s thing is to roll over, grab my hand and pull it in for belly rubs. It’s also quite soothing, until she starts biting.

Pock and Tommy. An unbeatable combination.

We’re all kids at heart, and we love these stories.

Is that Tabitha with the chart? At first I thought it was Goldie, but no ear notch. Looks a bit too mature to be Beatrix, and no sign of extra toes. Then I saw the pearls.

“stop doing that thing you do”. Oh, that advice is the best! There are so many people I would say that to.

“Stop doing that thing you do.” Um, thanks Tabitha, but you do realise I have to do that thing to earn money and pay for cat food, right?

Seems like a good plan, except for the last item.

September calendar picture is Puck looking back over his right shoulder while a sleeping Ora Zella is draped over his left shoulder. He has the cutest smile on his face.

Tommy reminds me of my late, lamented Random Numbers, who loved belly rubs. He was 19 lbs. of black tabby love.

Yes! You absolutely have it in you, and it’s a book we all would love to see. Pucky, keep up the encouragement!

Tell me more !!

Yes, Georgia! We’re very interested!!

great way to introduce her writing into the comic. well done, Georgia! yes, you do have a children’s book in you, and we read it (and loved it) last year.

Oh my cat, panel four… not even a tiny squE, Scaeva?

RSORTB [Rare Sighting of Rear Toe Beans] with a Boop Here invitation from Tommy! OMC!! Squeeee…thud.

Dang, but I love Dunn’s illustrations of cats pouring coffee! Pure delight.♥

Awww,Elvis! Maybe you can visit and old folks home, for grumpy people!

Aww. Write that book, Georgia. Love you and all the reporters.

BOOP HERE FOR JOY may be the best thing ever….

Yeah, I’m Tabitha. I’ve learned to stop and ask people, do you want suggestions for help or do you just want to vent.

If you were to give my Olivia a bely rub she would quickly remind you that five of her six ends are pointy

BOOP HERE FOR JOY! :D

Happy Tom and sweet Pucky

They’re the ones that can make your worries all flee

They ain’t in no hurry and help you let things be

Now we know that a prince and lovebug bring glee

We know how great a prince and love bug can be

Said, if you want to call Tom baby

Just go ahead, now

And if you’d like to boop him maybe

Just go ahead, now

And if you wanna feel Puck’s powers

Just go ahead, now

And if you’d like to talk for hours

Just go ahead, now

Catch those healing vibes to the nth degree

Give ‘em a try and you’ll soon see ❤️

Hamilton A. Cat and Belle are our two empathic cats. They will sit with you and help with your problem.

Nice to see Tabitha. Tommy and Puck are definitely great therapy cats!

Do I hear pages turning in the future?

Georgia, you definitely have the talent and imagination to write a wonderful children’s book….just do it!

Albert A. Cat was the best listener and loved belly rubs. Bart is young still, but shows potential.

Get your tissues ready, and prepare for defective monitors and blurry screens -

Sweet Sparky in today’s MUTTS over on ArcaMax!

Cats make good therapists. They don’t interrupt you when you’re telling them about your problems.

I know that sometimes breaking stuff can make someone feel better, but having someone else break your stuff… not so much.

OT:

Yes, Woman – I KNOW you have at least one children’s book in you (and hopefully, more than one). As with many other goals in life, the trick is to find the time to make it happen.

Dr. Tommy and the Loving Toe Beans! Put a fedora on him so I can hear a mix of motown and Cajun blues.

I just turned my BCN calender page. Scary note on it. My granddaughter becomes a TEENAGER!!!!!

Altruism Alert! Please feel free to steal these ideas! *BCN Babies could be a great idea for a children’s book. Paired with a pure white Squishmallow version of Lupin, An interactive story about his ability to disappear, could have young readers trying to hide their own stuffed Lupin around the house and take pictures of the funny results! What great fun!, what free advertising! I’m sure our esteemed comments section colleagues have great ideas as well, since we all love your strip so much!

We took on a poodle who had been a therapy dog. It took a while to realize that being a therapy dog meant he needed constant reassurance.

I always wanted to write a book for kids. 25 or so titles later, I’m doing everything BUT that.

OT: Going Home

OT:

Hmmm…How to interpret this? Since Georgia’s already a published author, with several BCN books for children of all ages, it would only make sense to have The Woman in the parallel-to-ours BCN world also be an author, working from her desk in their expanded area in The Big Pink House. But this could also presage Georgia’s publishing a differently-themed children’s’ book. (Since her son is showing talent in that direction, might he co-author it by writing, illustrating, or suggesting ideas?) I’d love to see more Swan Eaters, but that’s probably not a kids’ book — though kids do love “Grim Fairy Tales.”

Well of course you do woman, it like I told you just the other day, you are spending to much time on the couch with the cats and not enough time in the studio. So it’s time to get up and get going.

As the cheerleaders would say……..

Let’s go, go, go, go

Let’s write, write, write, write,

Let’s draw, draw, draw, draw,

Let’s Go, Let’s Write, Let’s Draw.

(and repeat)

Wait, that is Dr. Mann in panel 5!

Based on Tommy’s description on the original website he would definitely be a good therapy cat, not only because of his personality but also because he’s a really fluffy fellow

I’m sure the patrons and staff appreciate Tommy’s support. He is the world’s greatest therapy cat!

We all know you have it in you, Woman! Such a fun opportunity shouldn’t go to waste.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Xanadu Hive

Queen Bee Titania: Welcome, Your Majesty Queen Ant Anante, and workers. Have you come for honey?

Queen Anante: Yes, Your Majesty. We are pleased to help out at Honey Harvest Time.

Queen Titania: And we are pleased to be able to supply honey far and wide. As members of the Ancient and Accepted Procurers’ Guild, I know you will do your part. And not take more than you can lift.

Queen Anante: That is so, Your Majesty. But my workers can lift a phenomenal amount.

Worker Ant Amenope: Where should we take the honey to first?

Queen Titania: Thomios would like some for his Just Because Dessert Buffet.

Worker Bee Thalia: And Floofnet the Joyous is teaching a class on cooking with honey.

Worker Bee Kira: Sounds like a song! Ready, everyone?

Deserts sweet are such a treat

Smiling faces as we all pick out our favorite

All together, paw to paw

…….

We love to eat with honey

So sweet, delicious, too

We always eat with honey

We love to join with you

For a sweet time

Stress reducing belly rubs are the best possible support. Haha, Elvis discomfort is strangely relatable. And Tabitha clearly doesn’t have time for this. Wonderful strip <3 And if Georgia is planning on writing a children’s book I’m 100% here for it and I believe in her!

Cheeldrens books? Cheeldrens these days is ain’t reads no books. All they is wants is them smarteyphones and videos and video games.

Mister (Junior’s mom) is expecting! Read it in the TinyKitten HQ comments last night. Well, that will be her last litter! Those kittens will be adopted so fast, mom too, faster than Junior was. I had intended to drop viewing TK cold turkey, but, with this news I can’t.

A children’s book? YES Please!

Tommy must be that rare cat for whom the belly rub does not lead directly to the dread niplock.

ELVIS’S FROWN IS SO CUTTEEEEEE OMC

Did Tommy get smaller?

Oh yes, Tommy and Puck are naturals at feline therapy!

Tommy, when I was in the hospital I would have loved to give a cat tummy rubs!

seems like a nice job, i’d do it if i was a cat, just getting petted and listening to people’s problems for some cold hard cash doesn’t sound half bad

Anyone else having outrageous difficulty signing in to Patreon?

I so feel that last panel. Been trying to get that children’s book written for years now.

Thanks, for the advice, Tabitha. But I already do too much of 1 & 2. I’m good with 3, but I don’t do enough of 4 & 6. And which thing of many should I stop doing ?

I’ve really let myself stop doing the things I should – and shouldn’t – over the past 5 years. Too many life changes too fast. < sigh >

When I was in the hospital, I had a therapy cat visit me! Tex, the therapy cat, was wonderful!

RSORTB!

“Would it help if I broke something?”

Why, yes … yes, I believe it would. : )

Well, I do two of the things Goldie suggests… Well, I say “water”…
