Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 17, 2019

There they are! I was waiting for those shirts to show up! Of course, I’m sure Elvis believes himself to be the best parent, thank you very much.

Love Burt happily setting things up for Beatrix!

Wow! Not only has Beatrix become gainfully employed as a book store cat, she’s been promoted from intern to correspondent with BCN. Glad to see Burt already has the bookstore networked in.

Take two. I love Elvis’s shirt.

Congratulations, Beatrix! In true cat style, you have landed on those wonderful feet of yours, and are off and away!

P.S. I like Burt’s jacket! It looks very nice on him.

For a second, it looked like Burt was plugging Bea’s tail in! And that must be a copy of ‘Lupin Leaps In’ with Georgia’s name on the spine.

Love Georgia’s signature on the spine of the book. And look how grown-up Beatrix looks atop the bookshelf!♥

A good roadie is almost invisible.

We are so proud of you, Beatrix. Great job!

Technically speaking, “Proud foster-parent …” But let’s not quibble, for once.

Awww Burt’s wiring her up! I wonder what tune he’s humming?

I wonder if the Bookstore Owner knows an older Male Cat is hanging around and messing with the wires?

I think in some small way we are all proud parents of a bookstore cat today. So lovely to watch Bea head out into the World with confidence, looking forward to her fact checking and to seeing so much more of her story arc than we got to see in the initial run. X

Now waitaminute. Is that Burt, the barn cat? What’s he doing in the book store?

Elvis nailed it. And I love him.

Love Georgia’s signature today. I wonder what book that is? “Lupin Leaps In” or “Breaking Cat News”? I’m sure this fine bookstore would have both in stock.

The budget at BC News must be remarkable. A brand new Book Store Bureau and the hardware to boot.

Just think of the charts to come with access to so much research material…..

OK, who else besides me is going to start watching out for appearances of “Proud Parent of a Bookstore Cat” stickers on the back windows of cars?

Lupin toe beans!

We’re about to enter the (hopefully) wonderful world of bookstore catting.

I have named my new addition Ally. 2 reasons. I was watching A Star is Born (again) and I’m a huge Lady GaGa fan, and she was found in an alley. Now she’ll either be a queen or a “little monster” (nic name that Gaga calls her fans) P.S. Ally is a tortie, and they have tortie-tude

Good. Beatrix needs to be a recurring (re-purring) character.

I’m looking forward to Trevor’s delighted face when he discovers his new housemate

I wonder how much of the bookstore Beatrix has already re-arranged.

I’m relatively new to the strip. Who is Burt? I’ve never seen him before. Also, it looks like maybe Beatrix and the bookstore are going to become a regular part of the strip. I hope so, because I’d like to see Beatrix as a regular character.

Is that a 1st edition copy of ‘Georgia Dunne’? That’s a classic!

Nice resolve to the separation-situation! Connection established, and it’s ONLY Monday! :)

Aw, Beatrix, you were always part of the crew!

Beatrix is growing up, , but she will always have a special spot with the boys.

Georgia posted a picture of Lupin being invisible on a blanket:

All you worrywarts who were afraid of a sad ending: We told you so! While BCN occasionally has problems with the screen going blurry, it’s not permanent.

Oh, Elvis. You’re such a secret softie. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Oogie Boogie. He still thinks you’re a gansta.

Someone needs to tell @Maizing about this. Anyone in touch with her, or know how to find a person on GoComics?

“Everybody wants to be a cat” from the AristoCats.

Two promotions, in one day? You go girl!

Hmmmm . . . bookstore cat? Sounds like a challenging job. I wonder what it entails? I hope Beatrix is up to the challenge! =)

Thanks for the boops everyone. Waiting for the vet to call back with the news for Miscreant. He has renal failure and the lab work that I get the results for today will tell if he has a day or months left. He’s drinking a lot and I haven’t seen him eat in 3 days no matter what I try to get him to eat. I’m giving him all the affection he will allow. I think the anti-nausea medication helped him feel better but he still won’t eat. He lost a quarter of his body weight in the last month and so he’s down to 6 lbs. I’ll check back in tomorrow when I know more.

Where did Elvis get the tee shirt?

What a purr-fect position for budding network star.

“Proud Parent of a Bookstore Cat.” Love it!

“Bookstore cat” is a fine and noble profession. Rodents have caused more damage to books than censorship. Even the oldest bookstore cat can protect books by daily shedding in prominent places.

I can’t figure out how to reply to so many people, but thank you so much for all the kind responses, everyone. That hint to look at the tab above that says “our reporters” was especially helpful. :)
