Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 02, 2021

But…but…you have a hat! And someone coughcoughLupincough is going to attack Elvis’ head…toy… any second now!

Love the little woodland birds and animals gathered round for the big show. Puck still has his doubts and Elvis is all in!

I was thinking that was a hedgehog on the left, but the “MN” on his mic must stand for Mole News.

OMG, I want Elvis’ dealyboppers.

Happy Birthday to @Notaspy!

Dinsdale!

Pucky, are you still bummed from discovering the scam? Poor baby, it is all in fun! Perk up and enjoy!!

OT: Gotcha Day

Georgia is keeping us in suspense. What will the groundhog predict? Doom, or even doomier doom?

Puck is in the spirit with his ground hog hat.

Great hat, Elvis.

If you see a blue coloured bird there, don’t believe it’s news channel!

Mole news is probably OK. The underground Beat.

How did Beatrix get mittens on those super sized feet of hers?? Cute…

Elvis’ headband is awesome! I never found one like that, but I used to wear them as a front desk admin for all the holidays. And poor Puck and his groundhog hat…

Tommy and Beatrix must get their outerwear from Pawtagonia.

Poor Pucky, I too have a hard time getting in to the whole Groundhog Day thing as well. What do you say we just sit in the window and watch the bird feeder?

As performed by The Captain and Tennille: Muskrat Love

Groundhog, Groundhog, first daylight

Waking from sleep and greeting his friends after evening

Find out the season

Punxsutawney Phil awakes

Prognosticating spring is early or late

Faces aglow….Puck doesn’t think so!

…….

Bea and Tommy all anticipation,

Elvis loves the situation

Looking at the clouds above

But Puck doesn’t love.

…….

Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese

Waiting with hedgehogs and chickadees,

Even our Elvis seems to be pleased, we can hear it

Puck can’t get into the spirit,

And he’s feeling so sad, heaving a sigh

Wanting to join his friends, he wants to try

Maybe later

…….

Bea and Tommy all anticipation,

Elvis loves the situation

Looking at the clouds above

But Puck doesn’t love.

We’ve been getting 6 weeks worth of winter over the past 2 days in Pennsylvania.

Sigh…I guess Groundhog’s Day has been so commercialized and I just can’t get into the spirit! CAN’T ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT GROUNDHOG’S DAY IS ALL ABOUT?!

I like the yawning groundhog. Cute.

This is a reversal indeed — Elvis, smiling and cheerful, while Puck is out of sorts.

Yeah Puck…. I’m right there with ya buddy. Groundhog disillusionment

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Serfig-Aro: Your Majesty, may I present the Royal Prognisticator, Phil-Adelph of Punxsutawney.

Her Majesty, Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Welcome, Phil-Adelph. What news do you bring?

Phil-Adelph: I awoke from my slumber this morning, Your Majesty, and noted I did cast a shadow. That means the seasons will proceed as expected.

Puckmosis: What if you did not cast a shadow?

Phil-Adelph: It would indicate the day was overcast.

Puckmosis: So what is the difference?

Thomios: A great difference, friend Puck. When Phil does not see his shadow, I make angel food cake with vanilla ice cream. On those other times, I make chocolate shadow cake (available by googling chocolate shadow cake) with hot fudge sundaes. Either way, the entree is ham.

The Queen: Then let the feast begin. That is, if Lupinium doesn’t get there first.

There is a very funny cartoon on, Disney + called, 101 Dalmatian Street! In it there is a character named, Dante. He is literally a negative Dalmatian…black coat with white spots, who always predicts that everything is DOOMED! Hmmm, it reminds me of someone… ; )

Elvis seems unusually “into” this holiday

I Am Cartoon Lady: Sigh…I guess Groundhog’s Day has been so commercialized and I just can’t get into the spirit! CAN’T ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT GROUNDHOG’S DAY IS ALL ABOUT?!

rs0204: Sure Cartoon Lady, I can tell you what Groundhog’s day is all about….Lights please…

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by a winter’s day.

And, lo, the Great Ground Hog came upon them, and the glory of the Hog shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the Ground Hog said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you this day in the city of Punxsutawney a weather-rodent which is Phil.

And this shall be a sign unto you that winter is not forever; Ye shall find the Ground Hog Yawning, and emerging from his den.

And suddenly there was with the Ground Hog was a multitude of the woodland creatures host praising Nature, and saying,

Glory to Nature in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards all creatures.

rs0204: That is what Groundhogs day is all about Cartoon Lady.

“Isn’t there anybody who can tell me what Groundhog Day is all about?”

Poor Puck. It is a sad thing to see through all the illusions.

After days of gloomy, gray clouds, and a weekend of snow, thunder snow, sleet, freezing rain, more snow, the sun rose over the snow covered hill across the road. Take it away, Robin…

Puck is the cutest cat alive in that costume, other than when my mom put a cat hoodie on Mallory. That was the cutest thing ever, nothing will ever top that.

The groundhog can’t come out in the snow…:(

Puck looks as if he woodchuck everything and go to sleep for another six weeks!

Oooh! I want to know all about the hedgehog reporter!

Oh, Puck! It’s not about the calendar. If he sees his shadow, it’s six more weeks of winter WEATHER. It’s OK to believe!

Hedgespokeshog.

Happy Imbolc/Lady Day!

There seems to be some disagreement regarding the winter/spring forecast. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and scurried into his home to wait out six more weeks of winter. However, Woodstock Willie, in Woodstock, IL, where most of “Groundhog Day” was shot, did not see his shadow and is predicting an early spring. I live about 50 southeast of Woodstock; I saw my shadow this morning, so I’m hunkering down, especially since the weather is expected to turn bitterly cold this weekend. I think Willie is going to freeze his furries off!

I vote snow, we have not had enough of it where i am, I think it’s waiting until sometime during spring to dump it all on us.

Also, i like the groundhogs mustache, its very nice to see it like that, plus the PJ’s, one cannot ever sleep without proper nighttime attire.

Phil saw his shadow this morning.

It is very odd to see BCN without at least 100 comments in the first 10 hours.

Did Sophie make Elvis’s hat and Puck’s costume?

I’m wondering, is there any Breaking Cat News subreddit? If not, I’ll start it. (Remember when I made a BCN discord? Yeah, that didn’t work. Also thanks for the support on my fan game!)

I hope all Orbsters impacted by the Nor’Easter/Blizzard/snowstorm are safe and warm!

Poor Pucky is all confused because he doesn’t realize that Groundhog day was invented in the South. Down here, winter is not a season, it is a type of weather. It happens in spurts of a few days up to a few weeks, depending on your latitude and altitude (and possibly your attitude!) and is loosely defined as those periods when the ground is frozen. (Just don’t expect that with a side of snow unless you are in the mountains!) The time of year you northerners call “winter” is divided into “post fall” (which begins when the leaves finish falling) and “pre-spring” (which ends when the daffodils come up, or after the last hard freeze, i.e., “winter”, depending on who you ask. Opinions vary.) The changeover between “post fall” and “pre-spring” is determined by the groundhogs at the start of February. Of course, none of this makes sense in Pennsylvania where Phil lives, so they had to simplify it to six more weeks of winter or an early spring.

What’s troubling Puck?

Oh dear! What’s wrong with Puck?

I’m so excited! I spent several days trying to find a vet in our area who gives Purevax rabies vaccine, since that’s what our previous vet recommended and what our two have had since they were born. I finally found one! The only drawback is they only see one animal at a time, so I have two appointments on the same day. I’ll try to catch Miss Pookie Poo first because she’s the escape artist, then grab Tommy for the second appt. I hope he isn’t spooked by Pookie leaving in the carrier, or I might not be able to catch him for the p.m. visit. And I can go in with them, which is great since they are afraid of everyone except my husband and me.

Smart Puck. Me, I’m wondering if the groundhog saw it’s snowblower.

OT – Bernie’s mittens

Love the headband that Elvis is wearing!

We know how you feel, Puck.

A new observation about QTπ. I found her off switch, no matter her mood.

Rub her belly. It almost puts her to sleep.

the one with the snow or sun hat…that hat is confusing!

Here in Las Vegas, one of our TV news casters mentioned that we don’t need no “stinkin’ hedgehogs”, because we have Mojave Max the Desert Tortiose who only comes out of his den once Spring is ACTUALLY approaching. I totally LOL’d!!!
