Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 04, 2024

Apparent effects so far: Adult males – mind controlled. Adult females – unconscious. Younglings – unaffected.

It remains to be seen if further evidence bears this theory out (and where, exactly, Lupin fits in).

That’s OK Iggy. I’m not normal either, relatively speaking. So it’s the children, Iggy and Orazuzu against the evil invaders. Go get em Lil’ Ones! Home Alone rules.

Normal? I should hope not!

Any guesses as to what Iggy is holding? I don’t think we’ve seen it before, have we?

So, I can really relate to Iggy in Panel 2.

Orazuzu! How cute is that?

Being normal is for the birds. ;)

That’s a long speech for Iggy.

Some can do both. Why be normal?

I think the Smol Cats should hork up a wall of hairballs. Let’s see the Roombas handle that!

Orazuzu! So sweet. And Iggy has come into his own.

Are there mind control crystals at the base of the skulls?

I’m in the “weird” category and will soon(ish) be in the “sleeping” category.

It’s time for Meowor Pack to investigate!

There’s a Star Trek episode where everybody is… (asleep? weird? I can’t remember.) All except the one kid who has to sort it all out. Next Generation possibly.

Maybe they is all tired, kids. You is better goes to sleeps too.

Say where be Lupin in all this commotion? He shoulda be leapin around.

This reminds me of the second book, to 101 Dalmatians- The Twilight Bark. All creatures are asleep, except for dogs and 2 cats, who were dubbed, honorary dogs!

It’s a bit hard to tell with the Girl but the Boy, Iggy and Ora Zelle appear to be wearing matching sweaters or pjs?

Since this seems to be affecting adults but not children, will Mama Vacuum be affected? Will Baby Dust Buster have to come to her rescue?

Buffalo Springfield: For What It’s Worth

There’s something happening here

What it is ain’t exactly clear

The adult women are asleep

The adult men are acting so creep(y)

…….

I think it’s time we stop, children what’s goin’ on?

It always gets so dark before the dawn!

…….

Papa was giving me a hug

And now he wants to vacuum the rug

I know something isn’t right

It started with that lousy green light!

…….

I think it’s time we stop, hey what’s goin’ on?

It always gets so dark before the dawn!

…….

Iggy and the Children are alright

This is the strangest of nights

Is Lupin affected, too?

I really just don’t know what we’re gonna do!

…….

I think it’s time we stop, hey what’s goin’ on?

It always gets so dark before the dawn!

…….

I know things will turn out fine

The answers we are gonna find

It will be that we will have won

After everything is finished, it is all said and Dunn!

…….

I think it’s time we stop, hey what’s goin’ on?

It always gets so dark before the dawn!

Iggy, this calls for a 47-act opera! Stat!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: I think it would be a good idea to get some emergency preparedness projects for the library kids.

Beaver Lee Cleary: A very good idea. We can start by making a list of the materials we’re going to need.

Ta-Natash: I don’t think there will be any problem obtaining them.

Violet-Ifa: Of course we won’t tell how they’ll be obtained.

Bea: And it would be nice to construct some kites for flying.

Bev: I have plenty of papyrus and string. And there’s a group of youngsters coming in for a reading today.

Sometime Later

Tash: It was a great idea making kites. They do look lovely flying in the Portentous Wind.

Kitten: My kite string broke! My kite is flying away!

Bea: Don’t worry. I’ll help you make another one.

Enter Woman with umbrella, and kite

Woman: I believe you lost this kite.

Bea: You must be…

Woman: Mary Andrews at your service.

It’s up to the kittens (smol cats) and children to save the day. I wonder if we will see Bea?

Could I love Iggy even more? I too have unique interests and strange hobbies.

Cuteness count: (1) Iggy is hugging his pom pom collection (or tribbles), (2) Iggy is the everycat of awkward middle schoolers, (3) “Orazuzu” (Zuzu’s petals?)

I love Iggy’s response! Who needs normal?

Understanding rotary phones, having wrinkles, and having to pee multiple times in the middle of the night spell DOOM. There’s no hope for Robin, Scaeva, or me. Leave us! Save yourselves! We’ll buy you time. Robin, help me push Scaeva in front of us – they can take him first.

The older I get, the more I refuse to be normal.

Normal? How many standard deviations are we talking here??

I still think it is Muppets!

Y’know, I’ve found a brief difference between the BCN community and the Big Nate community. I mean, just today…

I just love Iggy’s expression in panel 3, so subtle.

Iggy, you are wonderful. “Normal” is overrated.

♪ I put a spell on you, Because you’re mine ♫

Is there such a thing as normal, we are all unique, just like these kitties X❤️❤️❤️❤️X

This morning I realized our bookcase was all disorganized and dusty. I took all the books off, dusted the books and shelves thoroughly, and rearranged the books neatly according to size.

SO. MUCH. TO. LOVE. today! The expressions! The matching jammies! “Orazuzu!” Iggy’s thoughtful self-acceptance! I’m just a big ol’ puddle right now.

OT: Update.

Normal is a relative term. I’m glad Iggy and the Children are okay.

OT: Health Stuff

Has anyone read the fascinating story of Rayne Beau?

Fox 40 news/california-connection/california-cat-rayne-beau-yellowstone/

The kits have matching bat jammies!

Oh, the Boy does too. Can’t see the Girl’s except for the collar. Which is purple—so they all four match?

Iggy is a geek. I’m liking him even more.

I bet this whole episode will turn out to be a dream (but whose dream?) Any takers? I haven’t read the intervening comments yet, can hardly wait to read them!

Ooh, quick note! I was reading last Christmas’s panels. Look at the alst panel on December 28th, 2023, and then check out the 2nd panel on October 1, 2024. Wondering if there is any connection there???!!!

I miss Our Nine Lives!

Yeah! It’s the October story line!

Orazuzu!

I posted elsewhere that Oct. 4th is St. Francis of Assisi’s day. Time to get your animals blessed … (quoting someone else) your dogs, cats, and emus.

Ah, man! I forgot that Oct 4th is Taco Day!

Oh well, maybe next year.
