Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for January 09, 2025

“Incredibly stupid and nonsensical, but since we’re brainstorming, I’ll allow it.”

Ah, Ora Zella! We all knew it all at that age, how did we lose it?

Ora Zella with the classic “why I oughta”. Iggy, however, goes for the sweetheart move. But I’d rather see more huffing and puffing!

I don’t know. I’ve heard plenty of bad ideas in the brainstorming phase.

Good boy, Iggy. Just leave it alone.

“There are no wrong ideas in the brainstorming phase.”

I give you the Russell Boomerang Grenade….

Oza Zella in panel 3 reminds me of Adam Savage. I think it’s fair to say they’re both great at brainstorming, esp. when it comes to using explosives. About a teaspoon’s worth of C4 should be enough for the kibble bin.

Or kibble-storming.

There are plenty of wrong ideas in the brainstorming phase. The point of brainstorming is to get all the ideas out there, and then sort them into “bad”, “very bad”, “hopeless”, and “totally loony”.

Once you have done that, you know that none of your ideas will help, and you are completely doomed.

Iggy, we love you. O.Z? You’re exhausting.

I have difficulty accepting all ideas during brainstorming.

I’m always angry at inanimate objects. But to be fair, they started it.

Hammer? No… Mallet? No… Chainsaw!! No… Dynamitechainsaw?! There is no such thing…I think…and, sigh, still NO!

That last panel needs to be a mug.

Ora Zella (rear) Toebeans!

BCN at its best. And Lupin the voice of reason

OT:Winter is a beast.

I would suggest that one kitten is frantically trying to open the kibble bin, the other is pondering the situation more thoughtfully.

Iggy looks so innocent. These two make such good partners in crime.

Li’l Huff Huff.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Alice-Ata: So long, everyone! We’re off for cheese.

Agnes-Ata: Where to first?

Alice: We’re meeting Blade at the dock. They’re just back from Britannia an France.

Ta-Natash: Always a fine source of cheese. Those sabre tooth cats do have exquisite taste.

At the Nile Dock

Blade: Hello Ladies! Long time no see.

Agnes: I know it’s great to see you. Sometimes it feels like you’ve all gone extinct.

Blade: Ha! Just a rumor. You’re in luck. We managed to obtain some Double Down Cheese from Brittania and some of the finest Brie from France. Will you be going to Afar?

Violet-Ifa: Yes, just as soon as we get the cheese delivered to Thomios’ kitchen.

Agnes: Then we’ll head down to Afar to the Beaver’s Guild. And visit with Beaver Lee Cleary.

Blade: Great idea. Librarians are natural Procurers.

OT: Brian

Iggy has the right idea, Ora Zella. Leave the kibble dish alone. The Woman will not allow any of her furbabies to go hungry.

=AHEM= Unusually smol cats! For SHAME, Lupin!

With all that huffin’ and puffin’, and kickin’ and bouncin’ and rollin’, there ought to be a nap coming on pretty quickly. Maybe then it will be more quiet and Iggy can think…

Woman wouldn’t let the cuties go hungry, so what’s all this even for?

Sorry frens. Me having problems with accessing site and interacting with comments these days. Heavy loads and all that. Sometime it work fine and sometime it no work at all.

OT: Taking inventory

This is not a spoiler. It’s just my guess. I’m hoping if they finally do get the kibble bin open, it will be empty. Sometimes the woman forgets she has cats.

The reason she hasn’t stopped the kittens is because she’s on a grocery run to buy more kibble.

As we used to tell our children, jokingly, when they were young and impatient. “Patience is a hurt you, because if you don’t have a little patience, you might get hurt.”

This came from one of our children admonishing their siblings when they told them that Patience is a hurt you. Apparently the word virtue wasn’t in their vocabulary yet. It was too funny at the time and grew into a family saying.

Aren’t they about the right age to figure out how to use pitiful meowing to get People to do what’s wanted?

Darn it, whoever thought a child-catproof container was a good idea!!!

Inanimate objects have a funny way of messing with your head.

OT: Dulcie update

I have been trying all day to post a sort of OT comment, ALL DAY. If you don’t see me for a few days, it’s because GC has finally gotten the best of me and I’m just fed up.

Is O. Z. being kind or sarcastic?

Potp for Tomball of TinyKittens. He has his surgery today to remove the ear polyps.

OT: visiting cat in the yard

OT Question for Georgia Will you be at Emerald City Comic Con (6-9 March)?

Has anyone noticed that Ora Zella has an advanced vocabulary for her, er, number of months on this planet?

She’s up to something.
