Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 05, 2024

Phantom of the Bureau? Cat-He Fan Tushy? Maybe even Das Kittygesteckt if you want a more Wagner-esque?

Dang it, Iggy! I rather want to hear that opera.

Never send an opera singer to deliver a singing telegram.

47 acts? The fat lady will be retired by the time the opera’s over…

I love Iggy!!!!

There’s lots of wonderful music in opera, but you usually can’t hear it because there is a stage full of people screaming and shouting.

47 acts? I didn’t know operas came in mini-series format. Actually, mini-series are that long even

Don’t repress Iggy’s creativity.

OT – Skywalker

Iggy is enthusiastic. He’s just easily diverted.

Hi Yo Comet! Away! wanted to know… about 7 hours ago

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

Is it safe for animals?

If you see it in a store read the label or search it online.

But how you gonna communicat? Woomin not know neither your language nor yours dialecat.

One time there was an opera with 48 acts altogether.

Iggy you beautiful, inventive, lunatic! (Who’s on Ora’s side)

Nice try, Iggy. You got this, Goldie!

I love the fact that he had time to write a 47 act, opera! Lol!

I hope the opera is set to Tchaikovosky

Never send a kitten to do Goldie’s job!

An Excerpt From Iggy’s Opera: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom

Beneath the big boo-roo

Hid Ora Z

With Puck and Elvis there

She purred with glee

And does she purr again?

For now we find

The Phantom of the big boo-roo

Is stuck and we all mind!

Elvis: I wait with dignity

For help to come

Let there no laughter be

Do not succumb!

Goldie: He’s there, the Phantom of the Boo-Roo

Aware, the Phantom of the Boo-Roo

Must fetch the Woman now

To come and help

A most unfortunate hand

Elvis was dealt!

And now that Ora Z has had her fun

It’s time to release our Phantom now!

For everyone!

Sing, bring Woman to the rescue

Mew, purr, meow, and maybe a hiss too!

Sing, we must help Elvis

Mew, purr, meow, and maybe a hiss too!

Sing, and give us ham!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Back at the Palace

Obadiah Opossum: Folks, I’d like you to meet my friend, Dooky Ferret.

Thomios: Pleased to meet you. Your friends were all worried about you.

Dooky: Nice to meet you all. Guys, I’m so glad you’re alright!

Beatrixia: Would you like to introduce us?

Ferret #1: I’m Tinker. Over to you.

Ferret #2: I’m Evers! Next.

Ferret #3: I’m Chance. And we’re all quite a team.

Tinker: How did you manage during the dust storm?

Dooky: I thought I was doomed, then I found a lopsided pyramid. There Mandy and Lynn let me know where the pantry was.

Evers: I’m glad you’re safe. Sorry about your hat, though.

Obie Opossum: Not to worry. We have some of the best artisans in the Nile Valley.

Puckmosis: Not to mention that Louie-Nour is coming to visit from Afar.

Iggy: If he doesn’t know what’s cool, nobody does!

Bea: We just have to make sure not to startle him!

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Iggy more!

So sorry for your loss. You sound like you have a sweet, loving heart. She was lucky to share her time with you.

I love the idea of a BCN opera! Now I kind of want that to be the next long summer arc.

A 47-act opera to describe Elvis’ plight, with aria solos by Goldie!

A 47-act opera would be a radical development in the history of music. One composed in the amount of time that has elapsed plot-wise even more so. Clearly, Iggy is an incredible genius.

Well, if nothing else, it’d give Elvis something to listen to while he’s trapped.

I love fat kitties,

There warm in the winter

And shady in the summer un-huh,

If you lay down besides em,

You automatically roll towards em,

So getting together is never a problem you see.

I love fat kitties,

If you get one with tattoos

You got moving pictures

It’s so great to go to the drive-in

And we never have to leave our house.

Check out the snack bar,

Don’t mind the reporter

Who’s interrupting the show

He’s had some catnip

He’s probably tripping.

WITH THANKS to the great Williams and Ree.

Iggy, we love your creativity and obviously want to support it…but now is not the time!

OT: Mom

Oh, Iggy, you are adorable. But you had 1 job to do and you turned it into 47.

The only “classic” opera I ever liked was done by Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny.

Sorry, Iggy, but they’re on a serious time crunch to rescue Elvis.

Update on Nemo the yard kitten.

Having been fostered and fixed, he is now on his way to the adoption place! He’ll be missed, but boy, we hope he gets a great new home and life!

O.T. Facebook is down in many places. It’s made the news so it’s being worked on. I am putting this here in case your facebook and/or instagram are down. It’s not your computer.

We could use a little Orb power here. Tule Moon has a sinus infection. She’s Had it since December, and so far it has shown itself to be antibiotic resistant. Cultures showed the pathogens to be e. coli (!) and some myco-bacteria. She just started yet another round of antibiotics, one for 20 days and one for 30. I’m hoping some healing energy will help the drugs to work. Thank you.

Forty-Seven Acts? Uhm, Iggy? Can we get the Cliff-Notes version?

47 acts?! Even Wagner wasn’t that inhumane!

Lots of “down” sites today. I noticed. As we are also down, namely up to our wazzoo’s in snow here with no let up in sight I am noticing all the down websites I usually miss. Cabin fever is hitting hard as this is our 6th day snowed in!

They should just delegate it to Goldie. If Beatrix were around she could handle it.

Iggy has a great future as a bureaucat.

Love Iggy’s fangs!

I watched it. You made some great points. It’s interesting to hear about the cats and your plans for the future. 8 books, wow!
