Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for December 26, 2024

Oh Captain my Captain! Smite the evil one. With or without the cryptic amnesia.

Oh yeah, he’s definitely Paisley’s brother. No doubt about that.

Love Captain Nimble’s shoulder crab.

Does Captain Nimble have a pet lobster on his shoulder that talks like a pirate? I hope so.

Nice try, Snowball! We obviously can’t end this without seeing Captain Nimble, er, that sailor cat, whatever his name is.

Since the Grumbling Room needs must remain open, the snack table are still in use. I would recommend light fare after all the feasting, but to each their own. (Mind you, if someone brings cheesecake, all bet are off!)

While I wonder if there is any amnesia that is not cryptic, I get the feeling we are about to get a story that will be about an amnesia more cryptic than the standard cryptic amnesia.

Ah, yes, cryptic amnesia. A close soap opera relative to subdural hematomas.

I like Nimble’s shoulder buddy, but dang it, now I’m craving shellfish. Does that make me a monster?!

Snowball is a really bad cat. He appears to be surrounded by really GOOD CATS. Now we need some justice for all the bad cats L&O

A crab on his shoulder! A worthy addition to Cap’n Eddie’s cat. (Non Sequitur)

I want Snowball to get his comeuppance soon.

Happy Hanukah.

what does Snowball flip in the second panel? and should the Captain be wearing a tie in the third panel since he appears to be wearing on in the fourth? or is that something else?

Cryptic Amnesia sounds like a good reason for being Lost At Sea.

So, is Snowbelle not just only fake dead but really most sincerely dead? Did the untimely helicopter crash happen after we saw her at the end of the first Our IX Lives Christmas special?

He’s had the will all this time? He’s just never shown it until now…

(And, in one version of how that’s meant, it took a year to dry.)

Was captain nimble sailing around then just got amnesia out of the blue with no reason at all

Snowball must be a long lost relative of Lupin.

Typical Soap Opera!

Georgia seems to be intent on leaving no soap opera cliche unturned!

Aha! I just knew the Captain had been lost at sea (kind of).

I once forgot who Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Jersey Devil are. I had cryptid amnesia.

Whaaat? He found will lost at bottom of ocean? Not this just too preposteridiculudicrous. No way he find pieces of paper inside ocean intact. It just too convenient. Not that me is pay much attention to it that is. Say where be the foods room me no see it today?

I cant find it

Is “dramatic music” soap-opera-speak for “musical sting at every cliche”? Also, is it possible Georgia might be making fun of something just a tad?

Because it wouldn’t be a soap opera without some amnesia!

That’s the cutest crab I ever did see! What is its name?

It wasn’t my fault I forgot your birthday, Marie. It was the Cryptic Amnesia!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: I think a snack before the evening naptime would not come amiss.

Beatrixia: Let’s go to the kitchen. You know that Thomios always leaves a few snacks out for impromptu noshing.

At the Royal Kitchen

Puckmosis: Looks like a few others have the same idea. Thomios made some cat-friendly chocolate chip cookies and cranberry orange scones.

Elvis: Just right for a late-night snack.

Lupinium: Nothing like a relaxing snack after testing me-proof shelving.

Bea: How did that go?

Lupinium: The shelves are still standing. I was going to ask Elvis about choreographing a shelf routine for me and the Getting Better Kittens Dance Group.

Elvis: Sure thing. We’ll discuss this in the morning.

Puck: Now time for a cup of tea and a long winter’s nap.

Okay, we’ve gotten the cryptic amnesia meme out of the way. What’s next, the dream sequence?

Pet shop ran out of parrots

Captain be nimble,

Captain be quick,

Captain just started

An Amnesia shtick………………………..

I’ve thrown away my toys, even my drum and train

I want to make some noise with real live noisy things

Some day I’m going to sail, I’ll be a captain, too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?

OnTheGoodShipCrazyCat

It’s a sweet trip to a ocean spot

Where dolphins play

Near the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay

Lemonade stands everywhere

Crackerjack bands fill the air

And there you are

Happy landing on a chocolate bar

See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll

With the big bad devil’s food cake

If you eat too much, ooh-ooh

You’ll awake with a tummy ache

OnTheGoodShipCrazyCat

It’s a night trip, into bed you hop

And dream away

Wow! Cryptic Amnesia! Usually found only among the dead. :)

My sibling’s kids remembered me talking about “Breaking Cat News” so they bought me a naked Lupin tote and a coffee mug with the earliest version of the news crew on it. They will be enjoyed.

He may have hads amnesia but he sure hads the WILLpower to finds it. Haw haw haw.

Captain Nimble saves the day! Very (in)convenient that amnesia.

Ha, objection overruled! It’s great to see you, Captain Nimble.

The captain be Nimble,

The captain be quick,

The captain deliver

more soap opera schtick.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was quiet and wonderful. The cats loved the boxes, empty, of course, the ribbons, and especially the wrapping paper. And one of the stolen stuffed toys from the great-grandchildren. They stole Didi, the smallest stuffed toy.

Hope you all as lovely a day as I did, Novadaisy was the best hostess, she graced everyone with time on their lap!!! We had ten of us for Christmas dinner, nice old fashioned day X

Oh dear, I’m feeling logical. If the will was on the bottom of the sea, how did Captain Nimble find it or What was he doing on the bottom of the sea? Hmmm.

OT: Testing ou my new keyboard (I won’t be correcting typos to see how good I am at typing compared to my old keyboard)

This show keeps getting better and better!!

There really IS such a thing as “transient global amnesia.”

Hmm, is it just me, or do some of those snowflakes look a little like the doomba language, in October?
