Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 06, 2024

The kitty beans are huge with this one… SQUEEEEE!!!

Did Ora Zella just turn Tortimer into a newt? Or did she release a gargantuan lizard into the BPH?

Criss cross apple sauce?

Googly eyed applesauce. What a concept.

Apple sauce was one of the smells I remember from kindergarten. And chalk dust, cheap tempera paint, craft paper. chocolate milk, pencil shavings … and what else?

Toebeans! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

And yes, Iggy is just the most adorable little boy. You just wanna scoop him up and give him snuggles.

Oh, that’s why Mr Apple is here! For the pun!

Iggy is a good boy.

Cats cant…

Ora will be awesome the next time they play Vaults and Vacuums too!

Yesterday, I kept thinking to myself ‘Lupin is blind, isn’t he? How did Georgia trip up?’ I can only blame it on not long having woken up and the image of many white cats having different coloured eyes so therefore obviously blind, not deaf. I thought it several times over in my head, wondering why Georgia plus lots of orbsters hadn’t noticed the discrepancy. All I can say is ‘doh’!

What a lovelypoetic series of speech balloons today.

And the reader comments neatly complete, complement them.

Kudos all around!

“Confused beeping” LOLOLOLOL!

Poor Tortimer. Taunted for his lack of legs and desire for applesauce.

What only apple sauce to eats? That not enough.

Cyn: Criss-cross applesauce.

Sweet Puck, thinking of the Googly-eyed Apple.

For Cat’s sake, Girl, don’t anger him!

Lupin is so cute! I love him!

love it!

I finally get my blood sugar down and now I’m exposed to all this sweetness!! LOL!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Pretty Good Library

Ms Sebyat: Now class, for snacks we have a treat: Applesauce from Where We Know Not. And here to tell us about it is Royal Procurer Alice-Ata.

Alice: We have many sources to procure things, but most are a secret. But it’s all good.

Kitten Heba: Can we become procurers?

Alice: Certainly. You might want to start as a librarian. They are procurers by nature.

Beatrixia: That’s true. We’ll have to have Beaver Lee Cleary come for a visit. And now for some entertainment: I give you Sparkly Lupinium!

Lupinium: Right. I’m going to show you some sparkly poses. Here is the Pretzel Pose.

Kitten Omari: What’s a pretzel?

Alice: We’ll bring some in. But we’ll never tell where we got them.

Sometime Later

Ms Sebyat: Alright class, it’s time to go home. Don’t forget to thank Ms Bea and everyone.

Class: Thank You!

Lupinium: Now it’s off to Barbara’s shop for a shampoo.

Oh my heart! Iggy’s crossed paws! Albert A. Cat would sit like that all the time. One of my friends made a memorial portrait of him in stained glass, and chose that signature pose.

Yes, Pucky. Always raise your paw to talk in class.

Forgetful Pretzel and Lizard Wizard, the two latest yoga crazes!

And Iggy just sits there like the perfect star student.

Good boy Iggy follows instructions while the class clowns get all the attention.

Do whatever, as long as it rhymes. That works.

Oh oh- Lizard wizard!!!

I can’t believe no one is sitting like a loaf. (legs tucked under the body so they disappear and the tail wrapped down one side of the body so that the only thing that protrude from the body is the head)

Criss cross-legged apple sauce style

Confused beeping …?

Teacher is being ableist. Puck, Apple, and Robot Vacuum have nothing to cross.

Imagine a class full of Lupins and Ora Zellas. While the teacher is trying to get the Lupins down from the ceiling, the OZs are quietly placing and arming the C4.

Ora Zella and Lupin. What could go wrong?

Come on, Lupin

Do the twist

Come on, Lupin

A pretzel twist

Get down in your cute stance

And go like this

E-yah, twist

Baby, baby, twist

Ooh yeah, just like this

Come on, li’l hedonist ❤️

Forgetful-pretzel twist

E-yah

OT: Jojo

I got Jojo kitty safely to the vet today. There was a bit of chagrin, on my part but it’s all good.

and Pengo is still being the teacher’s pet ! although he can’t criss cross either

I love how Puck raises his hand, and in the fourth panel, only Iggy is following instructions . . . Tortimer would cooperate if he could.

The only reason I knew what crisscross apple sauce meant was because we-all explained it to me the last time it was used here. Poor Pucky with nothing to cross—that reminds me that every time someone has a med that says apply between the shoulder blades, I think of my tripod Paprika (called Peppy) who only has one shoulder blade.

Don’t overdo it, Lupin. You might need assistance to get untangled.

Aw, Iggy. Very tidy and cute. Gold star for you.

TOE BEAN WARNING! Panel 2 & 4!

My kids used to do a longer rhyme (with accompanying gestures):

Criss-cross applesauce,

Spiders crawling up your back.

Tight squeeze, cool breeze,

Now you’ve got the chills!

The two trouble makers and the shy one with his beautiful fangs.

No Sphinx or Meat Loaf?

Rock Paper Lizard Wizard Spock

Elvis will be the principal and Goldie the superintendent?

yay

Georgia, you have really got us confused on the crisscross applesauce sitting pose…LOL. Good job on confusing us! I’m still confounded. I guess that nursery rhyme was not in my category or even my sisters’. This must be a new nursery rhyme?

these cats are just doing their own thing, i guess

OT

Of course Iggy follows directions!
