Breaking Cat News
Breaking Cat News is a comic strip created by cartoonist Georgia Dunn and distributed to newspapers and the GoComics website through Andrews McMeel Syndication.
Dunn created the strip after relocating to her native Westerly, Rhode Island, after living in Seattle from 2010 to early 2014. She returned to the Seattle area in 2017.
The strip made its debut on March 12, 2014, initially self-syndicated by Dunn. It has been available on the GoComics website since October 20, 2014.
Andrews McMeel Publishing released the first collection of the strips in 2016. In the foreword, Dunn shared that she got the idea for the strip when one of her cats created a mess, prompting the others to investigate. This incident inspired her to envision them as television news channel reporters and to develop distinct voices for them.
The main characters in Breaking Cat News are based on Dunn's own cats Elvis, Lupin, and Puck, augmented by newer arrivals Goldie, Iggy, and Ora Zella. They are drawn in watercolor and ink. The characters' personalities are based on the personalities and behavior of their real-life counterparts. Also in the cast are a human family originally referred to as the Woman, the Man, the Toddler, and the Baby. In a January 5, 2020, broadcast, when the Baby becomes a toddler, they change the reference terms to The Boy and The Girl. Other people, cats, and other domestic and wild creatures appear.
Because this strip is "news important to cats", a typical lead story might be "There's a great big box in the living room!" or "Someone ate all the flowers and threw up in the hallway." Only the animals have names. There are larger story arcs, such as Tommy the stray finding his Woman, the Children developing, the weather, the reunion of ghost cat Tillie with her human, holiday traditions, the People buying a house, et cetera.
The original three cats (all adult males), living on the second floor of the Big Pink House with the Man, the Woman, the Boy, and the Girl:
