As I eagerly await the imminent release of the next feline frenzy fact file from Georgia Dunn (Gosh! When willit bee Septemphber?) I feel the need to revisit how it all began\u2026\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Cats rule the world. Just ask the internet. Now, now, now. Those of us with moggies also learn pretty quickly that they run the house too. 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\u2019s looking – her forthright flurry of 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\u2019s Introduction<\/em> (which you can read if your own murder-mittened mates 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 \u2018Everything is Broken and We Don\u2019t Know Who Did It\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Food Bowl is Still Empty\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The People Bought Some Stupid-Looking Thing For the Dining Room\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Woman is Cooking Bacon\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Woman is Trying to Use a Laptop\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Woman is Trying to Make the Bed\u2019 <\/em>and \u2018The People Bought a Different Kind of Kibble\u2019 <\/em>whilst long-range outside broadcasts confirm \u2018The Man is in the Backyard\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Neighborhood is Under Attack\u2019 <\/em>and \u2018The Trees are Falling Apart\u2019<\/em>\u2026<\/em>
\n\"\"
\nThe rolling news is backed up by In-Depth packages devoted to \u2018The People Are Going Insane\u2019 <\/em>(moving house to us two-foots) and the entire team undertake a dedicated series on a lengthy brush with maternity (\u2018The Woman is Feeling Under the Weather\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Spare Room is Filled With New Cat Furniture\u2019<\/em>, \u2018The Woman has a Hair Ball\u2019 <\/em>and \u2018The People are Awake in the Middle of the Night\u2019<\/em>) to prove that cats don\u2019t just want vapid snippets of information for mayfly attention spans, but can also handle complex issues with no simple solutions\u2026<\/p>\n

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