Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 11, 2024

The detective is working remotely…

Uh oh. Goldie looks a little . . . bemused at Ora Zella’s sudden appearance. She may have doubts about how much help OZ will really be in the investigation. But Ora Zella sure looks cute in her deerstalker!

Plot (and character) twist!

As good as solved already with that pair on the job.

OMC, OZ working as a junior detective. Oh, I can’t see anything going wrong there! [Rolling eyes].

Ora Zella heard “deerstalker” and didn’t ask any further questions, I presume.

Never fear, Detective Lil Hop is here. With her chainsaw?

Oh! In the third panel, you can see a teeny tiny smol cat tail sticking out from behind Goldie! And then—li’l hop!—Ta da!

I’m guessing that the Junior Detective will find it, having been instrumental in its disappearance.

Yay, let the dectectivizing (umm, ahem) begin!

I’m having a hard time seeing Ora Zella filling Sherlock’s shoes. She seems more like The Tortie of the Baskervilles.

At panel three I thought, “They’re saved!”

At panel four I thought, “Doomed.”

Incredicat!!

Hmmm. Does Ora Zella know where the remote is… (Insert dramatic paws here) … because SHE hid it?

Breaking news to Goldie.

Goldie in her “Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor” long coat makes me smile whenever I see it.

Goldie on the case, with what appears to be her “apprentice” though judging by Goldie’s reaction this is breaking news to her. Anyhow, this ought to make the quest for the missing remote that much more convoluted. Okay, now we just need the Robber Mice to lend their assistance, and the missing device could become a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Of course, could the Robber Mice have “borrowed” the remote to ensure they did not miss an episode of “Our IX Lives”…….

Someone has a sidekick.. but this could be good. Ora Zella isn’t a bad cat but she does tend to be more an agent of chaos and this is the rare intrest of hers that isn’t violent like fire or biting.

And while you detect, unplugging the TV would be an option.

OT Scarlett the Cat

“Lil’ Hop” IS THE CUTEST THING EVER! OMC!

Should a possible suspect be allowed to help, in the investigation?

The magic cat closet comes through again. And in a size smol.

L’il hop! <3 :-))

OT Patriot Day

I wonder if the 1920s era dollhouse that Georgia posted about the other day will make an appearance in the upcoming Killer Roombas story arc? Being that there are so many haunted items in the BPH already …

Our little Ora Zella has the ghost of Edith Head outfitting her.

Pucky should join them. I miss Sherpuck Holmes.

Remember that the clothes come from the cats’ imaginations. So someone’s Papa has been reading well to her.

I hope Ora Zella never grows up!

If truth be known, I prefer the “Murder By Death” version of this story. Sam Diamond, Sydney Wong, Jessica Marbles, Milo Perrier, Dick & Dora Charleston, all the great Detectives of the dime novel days.

“It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out! A door slammed. The maid screamed. Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was growing up.”

Now that’s how to start a Mystery.

Lying on the couch, they want to watch “Scooby Doo”

Losing the remote

Truthfully, is nothing new

Flashback, Goldie

She can solve the crime

With notepad and junior OZ

There’s help this time

If it’s lost they will look and they will find it

Time after time

Where clues fall, they will catch them, (noise is grating)

Time after time

Crime after crime

/Cyndi Lauper, Robert Hyman /Time After Time

No worries then!

OT

Tell us, Junior Detective, what you might know already about the Case of the Missing Remote???

With Ora Zella on the case, it won’t be remotely solvable.

With OZ on the job, what could go wrong?

Everyone was right about Detective Goldie being the one to solve this. I predict Ora Zella will have a decidedly mixed record as a detective, either getting distracted and not helping at all or solving the case with a simple “Yep, that was me.”

DeCATive eh.

Just unplug it already!

The Junior Detective clearly not having been planned for in advance in this instance, and instead just abruptly joining the case without forewarning. :P

Question: Is that Lupin’s tape recorder in Goldie’s hand?

By the way, you is knows what day be today. Never forgives. Never forgets.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Estate of Sir Alcott Kittleigh

Violet-Ifa: It’s been great learning about battles lost in futurity.

Sir Alcott: It has been said if we do not learn from the future we are doomed to write about it.

Ta-Natash: The weird thing is I understood what you said.

Agnes-Ata: But as long as we have beautiful night skies and delicious cheese, I am hopeful for the past.

Sir Alcott: And now to cheese. I have some delicious Double Down, as will as Still Stilton, Wonderful Wensleydale, and Very Good Gouda. With some lovely fruits of all kinds.

Alice-Ata: And we can stay for the rest of the week.

Sir Alcott: Yes. I got that all sorted out.

Now all they need is a senior detective. Cue in Elvis!

BIG LOVE for the LI’L HOP! :-)

A small request to those who post links: Please give at least a hint of what it is. After 25-plus years on the interwebs, I’m strongly (self-) conditioned to never go to unknown URLs.

Thank you.

Pucky’s paw on Goldie’s shoulder and her big wink in panel 3!

23 years ago, something happened…

OMC, this potentially the cutest thing I have seen in a while.

That is saying something, since I read BCN and have the two cutest cutie pies living with me.

Also, glad to see that the kittens have clothes in the TARDIS wardrobe as well. I would still love to see it.

Junior in stature but not…

OT: The cutest Hobbit EVAH!

OT: Our sad anniversary

OT: Fires in San Bernardino Area, evac plans

SSSQQQUUUEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Too adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pint size Purlock Holmes!

OT: Homeward Bound, the sooner the better

I would unplug it until I found the remote!!!

No 9-11 memorial?

Oh my goodness! Love it

I have a feeling this will end with even more peanut butter and a broken remote.

Luv Junior Detective.
