Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 20, 2024

Catch it before it floats too high!

Nevermind Captain Nimble, what this show needs right now is Captain OBVIOUS!

Well, I’d like to know the pigeon’s name.

Their whatchamasay now? You can’t just drop a character reference like that and not SHOW us a pigeon au pair, Paisley.

Paisley looks wonderful in that green lace mantilla!

The kittens are demonstrating the proper use of telekinesis! SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Hey look! Telekinetic snowball . . . not fight, exactly, more like tossing! Paisley seems to be _experienced_in catching things tossed telekinetically her way.

Not, of course, that I’m paying attention, or am in any way familiar with the characters in this movie. I just happened to unintentionally catch a glimpse through the open door.

Over here in the Grumbling Room we are eagerly awaiting our next topic of discussion (which, thankfully, I am certain, will not pertain to anything so banal as soap opera characters).

That is one courageous pigeon.

It’s like Paisley knew that snowball was coming!

Aha, there’s that Christmas card again …

I’ll open the Grumbling Room straight away. Not that it’s ever actually closed. (Note to self: fix door.) And dust off the snacks.

Today’s Great Question is:

Are morning people real, or are they just a figment of a disordered imagination, like The Mailman?

(And is that a mantilla?)

Shouldn’t Bandit be saying “our kittens”? Why doesn’t Paisley just tell him he’s the papa?! gah bleeping soap opera logic …

It always seems as if the children are the ones with powers… especially that flying kitten!

Love the heart snowflake(s) in panel one.

Sugar cookie? Well, the kittens are all dead ringers for him…

OMC, a pigeon au pair sounds ideal for telekinetic kittens! (My niece, who has intellectual and developmental disabilities and level 3 autism, LOVES pigeons. She loves to run after them to make them fly.♥)

Rad? What does that even mean?

Telekinetic or “tell a kitten ick”?

[bro] there psychic not telakanitik there’s a difference. a big one

Telekinetic kittens guarantee a lively time. Who am I kidding: we’re talking chaos.

The levitating snowballs call to mind Mr. Terrific’s levitating T-spheres… seen in the newly released (worldwide, yesterday at 9 AM EDT) trailer for “Superman” 2025. It’s a long-distance shot, so they only appear as small dots on a computer monitor.

And P.S., Superman’s dog is absolutely precious.

I’m convinced that people kittens are telekinetic. How else can you explain flying tater tots in elementary school cafeterias? [That’s a rhetorical question. Don’t ask me how I know the answer.]

Imagine Ora Zella as a telekinetic smol cat! That’s from the it could be worse file.

Little kitty onesies

I’m often up in the morning , but rarely awake.

happy Elvis gotcha day

Not he see the moost obveeous strikeeng resemblance that keettens ees look exactly like heem? Not that me care or payeeng attention that ees.

I guess Paisley’s ensemble has distracted everyone from her pet name for Bandit? “Sugar Cookie?” Also, looks as if one of the kittens is playing with a pinecone?

Cute, the kittens are in their onesies.

Love the telekinetic kitty floating around!

A pigeon among the cats?

Catching a snowball without it crumbling to pieces is pretty impressive. Paisley and Bandit are so cute together!

First, telekinesis explains a lot of kitten activity I’ve seen. Second, every one of those kittens is a tiny clone of Bandit.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

At the Afar Public Library and Café

Beatrixia: Thank you so much for letting us see these scrolls, Bev. I’ll arrange for Elvis-Anum to come with his staff to make copies.

Beaver Lee Cleary: That will be great, Bea. And then they can make copies using the newly invented movable press.

Patrice Possum: But that wasn’t supposed to be invented for centuries!

Bea: True. But why wait until the last minute?

On the oPun Road

Snowfall Braggart: The kingdoms think they have outwitted me, but I’ll have the last laugh! Let them have their spice plurals and cheese. I’ll see about those scrolls!

Puck got a part on his favorite TV show? I’m so happy for him!

Well, it looks like Puck.

growing up i had 2 pigeons au pair

This may have been said but for those of you unfamiliar with soap operas Paisley may not know that Sugar Cookie/Bandit is the father of the kittens. She may have been led to believe they were (umhmm) conceived with someone else, the paternity tests were intercepted/forged, these kittens were switched at birth with others, she’s been told Bandit is unable to father kittens, and so forth….

At this point, I need a flow chart to keep track of all of characters and who knows who and who is related to whom!

Wouldn’t you think… if Bandit’s a cop and all… He’d probably know some really savvy detectives. Hmm? The kind who might be able to do some checking and, possibly, discover the paternity of those adorable telekinetic kittens? The ones who (sort of) look like Bandit? And that one called Bandit, Jr.? (That’s probably nothing more than a coincidence.) But you see what I mean.

Have you considered that morning people may be just very late night people who never quite made it to bed? And yes, that is definitely a mantilla.

Nice catch in the third panel Paisley!

Psst, Hey Georgia ? I just went to buy the entire series of paperbacks for a young relative for Yule and the first book isn’t available like, anywhere, in paperback. I mean, that’s great but will they be reprinting so people can get the whole set when they discover you and BCN? (would have asked on Patreon but can’t find my password lol) I’m going to give her mine but just wondering… not everyone wants their littles to just read e-books.

“Telekinetic kittens” would be worse than poltergeist. !!!

(It does roll and bounce off the tongue, though.)

Now I’m wondering about Paisley’s beads. Did she visit N’Awlins for Fat Tuesday, and if so, were her telekinetic kittens with her? Perhaps we’ll find out before that day rolls around again.

OT: Checking in

Captain Nimble will be so thrilled when he receives the Christmas card.
