Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for September 17, 2024

The cats are on a roll now…

You can’t blame Tabitha for, once again, proving gravity exists.

Tabitha fangs!

Thank you for translating the woman’s statement. I would have been lost without it. :-)

They are round and they are on shelves, windowsills and the edges of tables. We all know that means they are cat toys.

It’s nice to see Tabitha at any time, but especially nice to see her in playful attack mode in that last panel.

SPECIAL REPORT: Does it bounce?

There’s a little Lupin in every cat…

The Mystery of the Tiny Pumpkin: Did It Jump, or Was It Pushed?

Tabitha does exactly what Katie would. Whenever there is anything on the kitchen island, she removes it and keeps it clean, neat, and without obstructions.

Today’s the long-awaited day!

At The Fancy New Apartment building, as it’s all enclosed, people frequently decorate their doors. I have seen Halloween decorations beginning to pop up now, including one person that placed largish, fresh, uncarved pumpkins flanking the door. I don’t know if those will stay that way, or if their future is as Jack-o’-lanterns.

I got a notice that Good as Goldie has shipped! Happy dance ensued!!!

The tiny pumpkins are doomed.

Does not use steenky thick n narrow fonts like Haettenschweiler or similar ones unless they is in big enough size like big titles. Me is can bearly reads em. And nobody seeing it on mewspaper will be able to reads em or zooms in also.

¡Ay caramba! El gatos is unleashingano cat-astrophicano chaos.

Cats are proof that the world is not flat. If it were, they would have knocked everything off it.

Tabbies can be very tenacious! ;D They can’t resist the chance to get into trouble, especially with vulnerable, small objects they can bat, swat, or roll!

Tabitha lines up her shot …. she shoots! She scores!

Let’s put, Newton’s laws of gravity, to the test!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Alice-Ata: We not only brought cheese, but a supply of fruits and veggies.

Lupinium: What are these round orange things?

Violet-Ifa: Those are pumpkins. I thought we could decorate them for the upcoming Feast of Candy.

Sophititi: I’ll take some down the Studio right now.

Ora Z: Can we shred them?

Puckmosis: No.

Ora Z: Shoot them in the potato launcher?

Puckmosis: No.

Ora Z: Roll them like lawn potatoes?

Elvis-Anum: No, just look at them!

Ora Z: Can I just roll one?

Elvis: No!

Ora Z: How about this one?

Pumpkin: Plunk!

Elvis: Oh, now you’ve done it! Smashing pumpkins.

Thomios: Not to worry. I have a recipe from my Uncle Floof to make pumpkin pie.

Puck: Sometimes something good can come out of disaster.

If pumpkins weren’t meant to roll, then why are they round?

Now that’s comedy!

This arc comes at a perfect time. We are leaving Thursday for a trip to Spain. These Spanish phrases may come in handy!

In first panel “Se…’ .” is unnecessary and grammatically redundant.

GATO EN UN PALO

RECETA

2 libras de “gato”

Escabeche:

2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra

2 cucharaditas de comino molido

2 cucharaditas de cilantro molido

1 cucharadita de cúrcuma

2 cucharaditas de ajo picado

2 cucharadas de azúcar

2 cucharadas de aceite vegetal

2 cucharadas de salsa de soja

2 cucharadas de jugo de limón

2 cucharaditas de salsa de pescado

Brochetas de bambú

Método:

Corta el “Gato” en rodajas de 1/4 de pulgada o algún tipo de trozos manejables para tejer en un palo. Las brochetas pequeñas son las mejores, pero por alguna razón nunca puedo encontrarlas y tengo que usar brochetas largas que no son tan lindas. Intenta encontrar pequeños por el bien de la ternura.

Mezclar todos los ingredientes con un batidor en un bol y luego agregar las rodajas de “Gato”. En este punto tendrás que mezclarlo con las manos.

Deja marinar el “gato” de 2 a 24 horas (en el frigorífico, obviamente). Poner el “gato” en las brochetas y asar hasta que esté cocido. (remoje las brochetas un rato antes de que comience a pincharse)

Salsa De Maní Picante:

6 oz de maní tostado sin sal

2 latas de leche de coco

1/2 lata (o 2-3 cucharadas) de pasta de curry rojo (me gusta la marca Maseri en la pequeña lata roja)

2 cucharadas de azúcar

3 cucharadas de jugo de limón

1,5 cucharadas de salsa de pescado

Método:

Procese los cacahuetes en un procesador de alimentos hasta obtener una harina fina. Reservar.

Vaciar una lata de leche de coco en una olla y llevar a ebullición.

Agregue la pasta de curry rojo y mezcle.

Llevar a ebullición durante 10 a 12 minutos hasta que el aceite de la leche de coco comience a subir a la superficie.

Agrega la otra lata de leche de coco y los demás ingredientes y mezcla. Baje el fuego a medio-bajo y déjelo hervir (suavemente y revolviendo con frecuencia) durante 15 a 20 minutos hasta que la salsa se espese y el aceite haya regresado a la superficie.

Tiny pumpkins

On the edge

Need to be swatted

So they get SMASHED!

Shouldn’t the little station placards on their microphones say “NG” for Noticias de Gatos?

Oh yes, its pumpkin rolling time!

Didn’t really need a translation for the last panel all that much, did we? :P

She caught the red dot; of course Tabitha will bat the pumpkin!

Hopefully the pumpkins aren’t fragile. They are just perfect for kitty fun.

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’

Landslide

Keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’

Floor pile keeps on growin’

Keep them punkins rollin’

Inside

Keep movin’, movin’, movin’

Though Woman’s disapproving

Keep them punkins movin’

Fun time!

It’s her own fault.

Borrowing my comment from late yesterday:

Cat motto: If it rolls, I bowls!

Teach those little pumpkins a thing or two so the big ones won’t mess with you.

The rolling of the pumpkins reminds me of something.

There was a Wide World of Sports episode from the 1970s (yes, I am OLD! ), where Willie Mosconi and Minnesota Fats played pool.

After a shot, one of them commented “Look at that ball roll.”; to which the other snarkily replied “The ball’s round, its gotta roll!”

She’s on a roll and partly because she knows, that pumpkins really gonna go..

Who in their right mind would place pumpkins on the edge of tables? That’s just asking for trouble.

And that is why the Flat Earth Fallacy is just that, a fallacy. Otherwise the cats would just push everything off the edge.

Pumpkins actually fly quite well, but their landings take a lot out of them.

Tabitha, YES!!!

Waaayyyyyyyyyy up on a tree…

Well, we know that last statement doesn’t need a translation. Now if it was Japanese …

I thought Tabitha was too sophisticated for pitching things off tables.

FANGS!!!!!!!

GOOD AS GOLDIE – Was just delivered!!
