Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for November 15, 2021

(cue graphic of a yarn ball vaguely patterned like the Earth – or some sort of M-class planet – that, while indistinct, is definitely spinning the wrong way)

I hear this in MacDonald Carey’s voice!

Like kittens don’t get into enough things.

I don’t understand the surprise and indignation about Kit being in jail. I mean he looks like a shifty type with that eye patch and all. Definitely a “usual suspect”.

Our favorite soap! I want to hear more about those telekinetic kittens……

Well I think I can guess a few BCN fans will now be taking a short break from following the comic. Especially a certain bloke from down under.

Pucky, it’s a soap. They’re going to beat around the bush for all they can, then reveal that (shock) Bandit the Magician is the father. Or maybe the story’ll be better written than that, since Georgia is a better storyteller than most of the folks in charge at the soaps.

…Yes, I tend to have an Elvis-like view of soap operas…

Right. I’m off to the Grumbling room. I have absolutely no interest in this at all. None.

All this time and they still haven’t said who the father is? If I watched soap operas or cared about this one, I’d be outraged!

(And that’s pretty low, having Bandit arrest his own brother!)

(Not that I know who Bandit . . . er, that cat on the TV . . . is or who his brother . . . I mean, or why it’s such a big deal that he had to arrest him.)

Now it sounds like I know what I’m talking about. But I don’t.

Wait, I mean about this soap . . . I don’t know what . . .

Never mind. Disregard all the previous entry. This is actually just an announcement that the Grumbling Room is open. All non soap opera types welcome. (Especially if you bring snacks. I have some fresh baked homemade pretzels.)

Robin, there’s fruit juice and Cornish Pasties in the kitchen. See you next week…

I’ve often thought we will be in big trouble when cats evolve opposable thumbs but telekinetic kittens would be even greater trouble.

Poor Burt! He’s so horrified!

We demand answers!

I love that they use the ironing board as a table.

I’m off to my recliner for a nap. I don’t do soap operas. I’m queasy anyway and waiting for my new meds to get to the pharmacy.

For anyone who might have missed it, Georgia posted an update and Lupin is HOME! He came home last night. He was at Blue Pearl and they’re pretty amazing, at least by us, sounds like they are by Georgia as well. I read the update on FB, but I imagine it’s on her other social channels as well although I’m only on FB, but he’s HOME! So happy to read that.

If you’re looking for logic, soap operas are the last place to find em.

O.k. I have a confession that I have been keeping a secret for a long time. You folks have shown yourselves to be compassionate and supportive of people when they open up to personal matters.While I’m kind of embarrassed to admit this, I know I can get it off my chest here without too harsh a judgement from the community.

(Deep breath) Me. I’m the one. I framed Kit for reasons I really can’t get into here and now, but I do have good reason and I know Kit is durable and can handle himself.

Thanks for lettting me get this off my mind.

I like these soap opera arcs! They remind me of my Mom and Grandmother who were big “Days of Our Lives” fans and also watched “The Edge of Night” and “Search for Tomorrow”. My Grandma used to watch her soaps with ladies from her church sewing circle, they rotated between their homes day to day it seemed, and lets just says that a lot of their comments directed towards the villains in the soaps were quite colorful and probably could not be repeated in many places, especially church. I think that any villain would not stand a chance against those ladies if he/she were to bump into them on the street! Good memories from the ’70s and ’80s. I miss those ladies and of course my Mom and Grandma Hannah.

I hope Lupin (in real life) is feeling better today. Thinking of you, Georgia! <3

New Lupin photo today captioned “at home and resting”. Sleeping Lupin pinning down Georgia’s arm in his usual favorite spot on their bed. Keep getting better Lupin!

poll who is your favourite BNC character

Heard in a local Texas laundry room…

Me: Lupin in the ER, I can’t believe it!

Hubby: Believe it!, he needed help breathing!

Me: WHY would such a happy cat get sick??

Hubby: I still need to know how the new adopted kitty is fitting in.

Both of us: Get out of the way, Zeus, Dateline is starting!

Ok call me when its over.

Panel three – accompanied by dramatic organ music crescendo.

Anyone figured out what Bandit is holding in his right hand? I have blown it up to fuzzy pixel size and my best guess is a cat face shaped mask…but why?

Anyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand.

Whoa, whoa, try to spin only four or five yarns at the same time. :)

I’m still trying to wrap my head around “telekinetic” kittens. I do know kittens can teleport short distances.

For all newbies, you can find the original Our IX Lives on the BCN website. Click on Past Reports and scroll down or http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/todays-episode-of-our-ix-lives/ That takes you to the very first one. Those who don’t like the soaps should know that we, the faithful readers are to blame. Georgia showed a scene where Burt had been watching Our IX Lives. So many demanded to see it that a few months later, she gave us a strip as a Valentine’s gift. And that was so well received that months later she gave us a series!

If this follows the typical soap opera time warp, she’ll be Grandma Paisley since the kittens will be adults with kittens of their own.

I’ve never seen Burt that upset before.

Telekinetic Kittens… didn’t they open for Pearl Jam in ’95?

She just posted a few minutes ago, he is up and about sitting in an open window. So many of us praying and thinking about the boy. He looks really good.

Telekinetic kittens, even worse than levitating kittens.

YAAAAASSSSS!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not slowing down the excitment for the boring!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!

OT: Nimitz

Angora’s so dramatic pose! I always try the poses out myself. Georgia captures them every time.

Update update:

I sure hope Kit is doing alright.

Finally my hopes and dreams of Our IX Lives returning our fufilled!(Btw i think paisley got kit in jail b/c he figured who her kids father is
