Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for June 13, 2022

“Yes I are…”

Thank you, Georgia, for this little moment of smiles. I needed it right now.

The roofers will be finished before you know it……inconvenience to be put up with….satisfaction guaranteed.

Of course the roofers have to stop by to see how their “widdle Princess is doing!

Oh dear. Georgia said that in real life the Girl was just a baby at the time, but perhaps it is merely storytelling, or gross exaggeration, and the Boy did not actually respond in such a manner?

What big eyes you have, Miss Girl!

Everyone is drinking coffee . . . Huh.

Noise is life.

OT: I apologize for traumatizing everyone yesterday, and also for laughing as hard as I did. Apparently I’m evil incarnate.

Poor Goldie, caught right between a pair of energetic toddlers! The horror!

The Woman looks remarkably calm considering both the noise overhead and her Children’s over-the-top reaction to the roofers.

Today’s earworm? Last panel reminded me of ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye’ by Soft Cell https://youtu.be/hZFslSfjTwU

O.T.

So the girl is no longer a squirrel?

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Elvis-Anum: What is that incessant hammering and shouting?

Beatrixia: Burt-Ra and his crew are doing some renovations on the Royal Palace roof.

Elvis-Anum: And where is Lupinium in all of this?

Bea: I think he’s teaching Diana some horse and rider stunts.

Elvis-Anum: At least he is away from all this noise.

Bea: There is room at the Great Pyramid. Why not go there for some peace and quiet?

Elvis-Anum: Great idea. Let’s go.

At the Great Pyramid

Elvis: Looks like the Hidden Library is nice and quiet. I can get a lot of work done there.

Sometime Later

Elvis: Now it sounds like someone is juggling pots and pans. But that scent isn’t half bad. I’d better investigate.

Elvis comes to the Great Pyramid Kitchen

Elvis: Thomios and Floofnet! What brings you guys here?

Floofnet: We found some of my old cook scrolls from the Hidden Library and decided to try some of the old recipes.

Elvis: How did you get ingredients?

Thomios: You could ask Violet-Ifa here, but I don’t think she’ll tell.

Violet: That’s right.

Floof: Anywho, would you like to try some of our honey scones and tea?

Elvis: Thanks. Don’t mind if I do.

Sun is shining, the surround sound is loud, yeah

Make you wanna move your coffee cup out now

To the roofers: here I am

Want you to know, y’all, can you understand?

here I am

Want you to know just if you can

(Tuesday evening) where I stand

(Wednesday morning)

Tell myself a new day is rising

(Thursday evening) get on the rise

A new day is dawning

(Friday morning) here I am

(Saturday evening) the cats don’t want to hear you

Want you to know just where I stand (coffeecup in my hand)

When the morning gathers the roofers

Want you to know “I are a builder too!”

So, to the roofers: here I am

Want to wave you hello now just if I can

How much I can stand, knock, knock, knock, knock, RRRIP! SAW! SAW! DRIIILL….oy!

Sun Is Shining / Bob Marley

The girl looks just a bit manic.

I believe The Woman has her coffee in a The Who mug.

OT:

And miss out on the chance to make a lot of noise, mother? Never.

Hang in there, Elvis. It will be over soon.

Doesn’t the Woman know that imitation is the best form of flattery? What they are doing is much better than a simple hello.

Sometimes it feels like builders TRY to be as loud as possible

I woke one morning to the sound of the neighbor’s roof being removed. A squad of some ten people were singing, banging, prying and hauling. They got the roof off in one day and the re-roofing was complete three days later. Amazingly loud but better than weeks of constant noise.

When I lived in Pasadena I saw a helicopter being used to raise pallets of tiles onto the roof for re-roofing. It would have been twice as expensive to take down power lines and guide a crane through those particularly narrow streets.

Oh look. It’s Bob the Builder. Heh heh.

Some of our pots and pans still have dents from when the boys were small.

Let’s go roofin’ now!

Everybody’s learnin’ how!

Come on a roofin’ safari with me!

Poor little Goldie.

Off-Topic

It’s the noise that gets it done.

I hope crazy furballs are talking about catnip toys time !

The Woman must be going situationally deaf. Anyone smiling through all that would have to be.

Love, blessings, and healing energy to Tigrisan, you, and LoanerCat.❤️❤️❤️

Oh well, they cant be finished soon enough for the kitties, no one likes to listen to work!!! even less people like doing it!!!

OT: New Snow today!

OT: Miss Kitty

So no Bob the Builder in the Big Pink House?

Similar theme in today’s (June 13) For Better or for Worse.

Two FYIs:

1. GoComics seems to have recently implemented something that checks your post for certain words before it is posted. I’ve noticed that there seems to be a slight delay when I post the past few days. Also, someone at Adam@Home (I think it was) said that they couldn’t post the word indicating the below ground level of one’s house — and couldn’t understand why (I don’t, either). And they weren’t the only ones — @Le’letha above (in the second posted comment) couldn’t post an author’s last name. So, be aware of this — you may need to re-word what you post if you try to refer to the below ground level of your house! :)

2. Another change (possibly not recent, but I just learned of it and no one here has mentioned it) — GoComics seems to have implemented a Search text box at the top of the page. If I noticed it before, I assumed that I could key in “Breaking Cat News” and it would take me directly here. However, what it also apparently does is it allows you to search WITHIN a comic’s archives based on key words. For instance, a character named Percy appeared in the Adam@Home comic today, and someone wanted to know more about Percy in comments area, so someone replied that one could put “Percy” in the search box and it would find Percy — and… it did! It not only found the comic Skippy (by Percy Crosby), but found three previous Adam@Home strips with the character Percy!

We had a monster severe storm this evening—wind gusts of 70 MPH, 3 inches of rain, and almost nonstop thunder and lightning. The electricity went down a little before 6:00 PM and came back on a little after 10:00. At one point there were over 100,000 homes and businesses without electricity. Several reports of trees down on top of houses. I was lucky. So far just a few sizeable branches came off my trees. I could hear a mother bird frantically calling out for her babies. There were no answers. I fear the nest was blown down by the wind.
