Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 06, 2023

Remodelation is about to commence!

(voice of experience here)

Elvis with his best Admiral Ackbar impersonation….. Ora Z bolting for the door, no doubt. and Pucky, concerned. A hush falls over the nursery!

My guess is that we are about to see some remodeling or renovation about to take place at the big pink casa. Somehow this will be an adventure for someone, if not Georgia’s crew perhaps Tommy and Sophia or Tabitha and Figaro or even the robber mice.

The voice of experience! He knows! (And pushes OZ to the door.)

I shouted, “Go! Go! Go!”

But it was too late! She’d already been entrappenated!

Lupin and Goldie trapped in the same room? Tension is about to rise.

Where are the children?

Ah, but what kind of trap?

It ain’t no trap until Admiral Puckbar says so.

They should have listened to Admiral Ackbar!

ONE litter box for six cats??

Elvis is now Admiral Ackbar. :D

(Yes, I know the actual line is, “It’s a trap!”)

Why does the sight of the water bowls trouble Puck and Goldie?

Time to move furniture or some other thing that requires doors being propped open…

I think most cats would eat first and ask questions later, given how they react if breakfast is even a minute late

Iggy has a very puzzled expression.

Then Elvis raised his mike like a sword, and said, CHARGE!!

Even if the people close the door in time, if they don’t set up some kind of “air lock” (to be able to check on the cats) I predict an escape and some hullabaloo

This says it all:

Is this the big move into the BPH by Tommy and Sophie?

I’m afraid not even the speedy Torbiepedo is fast enough to escape.

… They’re caught in a trap

They can’t walk out

All of the cats, even the babies

Why aren’t they free?

Stuck in a nursery

What are they missing out on today?

… They must escape together

From suspicious minds (suspicious minds)

If it’s not what it seems

Blame suspicious minds

… Well, don’t you know they’re caught in a trap?

- Mark James – Suspicious Minds – Elvis

Now, remember, everycat will need a cat-eared hard hat for when you eventually escape and start to report live from the renovations. Puck check the Magic Cat Closet.

I agree: it’s a trap!

I always near Admiral Ackbar’s voice… “It’s a TRAAP!”

Hard to tell where Lupin is. If at the anchor desk, then the plan to trap the cats has failed. Reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they tried to herd cats. Even when they resorted to picking up and carrying the cats, it took a few tries to get them all in the enclosure at the same time.

Listen to the force, Ora Zella!

“This is a violation of our rights! CATTICA! CATTICA!”

.

Maybe they could get Trevor to visit. Then it’d be a real dog-day afternoon.

I’m going to “trap” my cats today. Claw clip, Gerry for his arthritis injection, Rocky along for the ride so they smell the same and peace is kept in the family.

Elvis doesn’t like to admit his years, but he’s old enough to recognize a trap when he sees it!

I am SO hearing this in General Ackbar’s voice!

Expertly set up as you can tell SOMETHINGS off from panel one.. but our heroes don’t until it’s likely too late. They presumibly shut that thing the second they were sure everyone was in there.

Thank you, Admiral Elvis-bar.

Episode Two: The Walls Begin to Converge …

Evacuate the area immediately! This is NOT a drill!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Beatrixia: Looks like we still have some renovations to do for the Very Good Pyramid Library.

Burt-Ra: I’ll have Wally and Iron Glove take a look and see what needs to be done.

Bea: Appreciate it. Thanks a lot, Burt.

Sometime Later

Bea: Baba-Stet! What a lovely surprise! What brings you here?

Baba: I heard you were working on the library and I came to have a look-see.

Bea: Do you foresee any problems?

Baba: Possibly. I suggest you close the litter room on the right until repairs are made.

Georgia’s comments on Sunday’s strip: “We go now live to BREAKING CAT NEWS! Please ask your vet for more info and guidance before trimming your cat’s claws. They will be happy to let you know how to do it safely! In real life, Elvis seems to understand this helps him. He sits very calmly in my lap on his own, taking little breaks and then walking back to me so I can finish trimming his claws.For the comic, I could not resist drawing the baby towel burrito option.”

The local newspapers just announced that they will no longer publish the print editions of the Saturday newspapers.

I had the vet people trim my cat’s nail while I was there. When I got home I saw they only cut a smidgen. I was very angry especially when they charged $32 per cat. I do a better job when I cut their nails. I know just how much to cut without drawing blood.

Aah, the voice of calm reason from Elvis. Perhaps he needs to be a towel burrito again.

What if Ora Z is the only one to escape. On her own in the BPH? Can you imagine?

Change, the enemy of cats everywhere.

OMC! Pucky’s little perplexed expression! My heart!!! The cuteness!!!

Goldie’s skeptical little eyebrows! So cute!

OT: Late Breaking Great News!!!

Some one is visiting. Maybe alergic to cats or hates cats?

Its a trap!
