Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 14, 2024

That’s a LOT of KRFOS’s. What does the fire code mean?

So, what’s the proper term for many more than 10 Killer Roombas from Space? A gaggle? A herd? I’d say that’s a Swarm of Killer Roombas from Space! And would that mean they’re part of a hive?

The bad news is that this violates OSHA regulations on so many levels. The good news is that if they sell those killer Roombas on eBay, they’ll really clean up…

Maybe they are friendly Killer Roombas and just want to help clean up. Maybe.

All your Destry are belong to us.

If they have a cookbook, flee. (Yes, I saw To Serve Man over the weekend.)

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian Orbsters! ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪ Hope there’s lots of great nibbles and plenty of potato salad and/or mashed potatoes! Mmmmm!

This is getting curiouser and curiouser.

What’s that under Beatrix’ nose in the last panel? Kinda looks like a mustache.

A cleansing of Carpet drones…

A metric bonkers’ worth?

A collective… Think Star Trek. The Borg. They are a hive mind. Therefore. A,Collective.

It was Elvis’s 16th birthday. Happy birthday dear Elvis! There are lots of great photos of him on FB (Instagram too, I’m guessing). I would have liked to have taken copies to share a link here but I don’t know how.

So worried !!! Nobody does suspense (combined with cuteness and beauty) like Georgia! I hope tomorrow’s strip gives us a hint that all is not lost for our favorite felines. Love this <3 !

Shame on Destry !!! Is their name a typo of ‘Destroy’ ?

See? See? Me was tolds ya not to trusting them steenky robots.

28 roombas

Is there any actual evidence that these are “killer” Roombas or is it just Iggy’s guess?

I’m confused. Are they all trying to get through the door at once? Or are they all trying to crowd into the closet?

More ice cream! Stat!

That’s quite a few!

I don’t think a chainsaw is going to be able to handle all those Roombas.

.

We’re gonna need two chainsaws!

This is not looking good. The killer roombas are going to swarm them.

Neena: 99 Red Balloons

You and me up late one night

Suddenly there appears a green light

All the grownups in a trance

As the spaceship’s lights advance

Destry signals, there is no time yet,

Now it’s time to clean the carpet

Floating from the autumn sky

99 green roombas roll by!

…….

Looking around at the scene

Elvis, happy Sweet 16!

All the grownups in a trance

Except for Lupin, by some chance

Dust bunnies flee in terror

Wonder, could there be some error?

There’s no time to wonder why

99 green roombas go by!

…….

Now to formulate our plan

Could Captain Kirk be our man?

There could only be the one

To figure out what must be Dunn

Everything seems bleak right now

But we’ll get it sorted out

We will figure out just why

99 green roombas go by!

A little late, but did folks already call out the backstory “easter egg” that Georgia shared a while ago where she and her best friend invented an elaborate code to pass notes with? I’m hoping that was the source of the ciphers that popped up on the screens? (Sorry if this was already covered in real time, I meant to post this then, but got pulled away, and there are so many comments now I’m having trouble keeping up with them and all the sub-threads.)

I hope they don’t get a code, fine!

Five cats and a dog, here in St. Louis. Just sayin if they’ve come to clean our carpets, they’re welcome at Casa de Gatos.

Yikes, that sure is a LOT of Roombas! No carpets are safe!

OT Upcoming change from unofficial status to official …

The ‘Destry’ home system? The home system that’s just one letter from ‘Destroy’?? Oh, how did we not see this coming?!

I love that the alien roombas are green. Such a fun riff on the “little green men from space” motif!

At least they are not Stabby the Space Roomba’s kin.

ALERT THEY ARE GOING TO CLEAN EVERYTHING AND RUIN THE CATS HARD WORK

“Have to clean the carpets…”

Maybe the roomba’s come in peace…?

For a minute there I thought that was an elevator, and was very impressed with the upgrades to the Big Pink House! Even though Beatrix said that it was the front door.

Although the image of dozens of flying alien Roombas patiently packed into an elevator is pretty funny.

Iggy started it, and now Beatrix is saying it too. But do we really know they are “killer” roombas from outer space??

Will this dream never end???

Send them to the moon

Let them dust among the stars

And let them see what dirt is like

On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, scram, bots, scram

In other words, wake up, Destry

/Bart Howard /Fly Me to the Moon

So I think the BPH has a front door that leads to a hallway or entry way and then each apartment has another door to their apartment that also locks. So do the Roombas have access to the apartments or so far just the entry way?

Good math skills, Ora Zella! Every number you named is an integer greater than 10!

Maybe they have come to take tortimer home

We’re going to need a bigger doorway.

…Actually, no, scratch that, somebody get us a smaller doorway!

You know, this could be a lead in to one of Chicago’s greatest hits. 25 or 6 to 4.

Neena: 99 rote Luftballons

Du und ich sind eines Nachts lange wach

Plötzlich erscheint grünes Licht

Alle Erwachsenen in Trance

Während die Lichter des Raumschiffs voranschreiten

Destry signalisiert, es ist noch keine Zeit,

Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, den Teppich zu reinigen

Vom Herbsthimmel schwebend

99 grüne Roombas rollen vorbei!

…….

Schauen Sie sich am Tatort um

Elvis, glückliche Sweet 16!

Alle Erwachsenen in Trance

Außer zufällig Lupin

Staubhasen fliehen voller Angst

Ich frage mich, könnte da ein Fehler vorliegen?

Es bleibt keine Zeit, sich zu fragen, warum

99 grüne Roombas gehen vorbei!

…….

Nun formulieren wir unseren Plan

Könnte Captain Kirk unser Mann sein?

Es konnte nur den einen geben

Um herauszufinden, was Dunn sein muss

Im Moment scheint alles düster

Aber wir werden es regeln

Wir werden herausfinden, warum

99 grüne Roombas gehen vorbei!

Danke, Google Translate

Will this plotline ever end? Will it make any sense before it does?

THEY WILL LEAVE NO SURFACE UNCLEANED

Also, happy thanksgiving to all Canadians! Turkey and cranberry space goo abound!

Everybody’s running when the roombas comes into the towns. Everybody’s gunning for the likes of the killer roombas! From outer space!

The suspense!

I was all set to get a Roomba. Now, I think not.

I’m confused… Yesterday, Destry was opening the door of the Big Pink House, and OZ was yelling at him/her about it… But now we’re seeing Bea reporting that the KRfOS are coming into HER house (bookstore), with OZ asking about the number of them. Following from yesterday, shouldn’t it be the other way around?

How high can cats count? I know moms know when they’re short a kitten. Many seem to be able to tell time.

All along, these past few days, Beatrix has been reporting from her home, which I believe is the bookstore, and if not that, it’s in Bookstore Woman’s home. She was with Trevor one day last week, for example.

We know Destry stated ‘opening front door of BPH’. That being the case, How are the KRfOS coming in Beatrix’s front door?

Did I somehow miss Bookstore Woman, Trevor, and Beatrix also moving to the BPH around the time Tommy, Sophie, and their Woman did?

Question: r u reading on a Macbook, an iphone, an Pad, android, windows or Chromebook

Who is your fave cat?

OT: Comet

There is a comet that is naked eye visible in the south near the horizon, near Venus, the next few evenings. I’ll have the guys look for it, and go out in my wheelchair if they see it.

My sister has to leave hers unplugged because the adolescent cat thinks activating it is hilarious.

I won’t be here tonight when the new comic posts because I have to get up at oh dark thirty. I won’t be around until later in the afternoon or evening. Watch out for those toebeans, everyone! See you later tomorrow night.

Love these comics, my cats are the same way!
