Cats rule the world. Just ask the internet.<\/p>\n

Those of us with moggies also learn pretty quickly that they run the house too.<\/p>\n

However, illustrator and cartoonist Georgia Dunn found a way to make her indolent furry overlords earn their keep after watching them converge on a domestic accident and inquisitively and interminably poke their little snouts into the mess.<\/p>\n

Thus was born Breaking Cat News<\/strong>: a hilariously beguiling series of strips detailing how – when no-one is looking – her forthright felines form their own on-the-spot news-team with studio anchor Lupin<\/em>, and field reporters Elvis<\/em> (investigative) and Puck<\/em> (commentary) delivering around-the-clock reports on the events that really resonate with cats – because, after all, who else matters?<\/p>\n

The history and development of the feature is covered in Dunn’s Introduction<\/em> (which you can read if your own claw-pawed companions give you some time off) before this superbly engaging full-colour digest-sized (165 x 203 mm) paperback concentrates on crucial domestic and foreign issues.<\/p>\n

Drawing attention on the home front are items such as ‘Everything is Broken and We Don’t Know Who Did It’<\/em>, ‘The Food Bowl is Still Empty’<\/em>, ‘The People Bought Some Stupid-Looking Thing For the Dining Room’<\/em>, ‘The Woman is Cooking Bacon’<\/em>, ‘The Woman is Trying to Use a Laptop’<\/em>, ‘The Woman is Trying to Make the Bed’<\/em> and ‘The People Bought a Different Kind of Kibble’<\/em> whilst long-range outside broadcasts confirm ‘The Man is in the Backyard’<\/em>, ‘The Neighborhood is Under Attack’<\/em> and ‘The Trees are Falling Apart’<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

The rolling news is backed up by In-Depth packages devoted to ‘The People Are Going Insane’<\/em> (moving house to us two-foots) and the entire team undertake a dedicated series on a lengthy brush with maternity (‘The Woman is Feeling Under the Weather’<\/em>, ‘The Spare Room is Filled With New Cat Furniture’<\/em>, ‘The Woman has a Hair Ball’<\/em> and ‘The People are Awake in the Middle of the Night’<\/em>) to prove that cats don’t just want vapid snippets of information for mayfly attention spans but can also handle complex issues with no simple solutions\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Smart, witty, imaginative and deliciously whimsical, Breaking Cat News<\/strong> is a fabulously funny feel-good feature rendered with great artistic \u00c3\u00a9lan and a light and breezy touch that will delight not just us irredeemable cat-addicts but also anyone in need of good laugh.
