    Oh no, poor little guy stuck outside in the frigid cold!! I hope the boys (and the People) help him out – and that Elvis didn’t go crazy contemplating the void lol Another great strip, can’t wait for the next installment!

    A new cat with 6 toes? Allways love the characters you create. Is this one based on a cat you know?

    Elvis should know all about snow with his adventures from last Christmas (2014)

    Also, I entirely agree with Lupin: ‘Tis far, far better to gaze into a cloud of marshmallow than the vast, stark void. If the end of the world does come, I hope for a marshmallow cocoa jamboree to send it off.

    • Amy
      February 18, 2016, 9:56 pm | # | Reply

      If she is there for the internship, she’s a real go-getter, trekking through all that snow. Elvis will love her determination; Lupin’s will love her adventurousness; and sweet Puck will just love her, period. Imagine her helping Tommy in his Cat About Town segments. The combination of Tommy’s sweet personality and a kitten would be all kinds of warm, fuzzy, and cute. She can also learn from Burt, Baba Mouse, the Robber Mice Ladies. Would she work for Tabitha and Sir Figaro Newton, or would they have their own kitten intern? So many possibilities!

      Or she could end up being the neighbor’s new kitten who got lost in the snow. So many possibilities with that, too. The boys getting to know their new kitten neighbor. Awwwww.

      I can’t wait to see where this goes!

    Ask for an intern, you shall receive an intern! Poor little kitten. With the way the boys are treated, this little one has just hit the jackpot. Looks like the kitten chose the place to look pathetic the same way at least one of our foundlings chose us. Dad always said kitten Fiat chose our yard to wander in to based on the fact that our house already said “Meow.”

    I love the boys’ sweaters and Puck being ensnuggled in the blankets.

    …Yes, Elvis needs to turn around, but given the Little Brother type shenanigans Lupin and Puck have pulled on him, it’s hard to blame him for not jumping at the chance to look at the White Void. People attention will be acquired by Elvis’s catlike “WTF?!”

      Where did you get the name Zeta from?

      I was trying to figure it out. You stated SEVEN toes per foot, but zeta is the SIXTH letter of the Greek alphabet. (eta is the seventh.)

      Lotta would have been a descriptive and hilarious name choice.

    Holy Hemingway! A polydactyl kitten out in a snowstorm. Reminds me of the kitties that used to live in the barn on the farm across the road. So glad the Guardian Angel of lost kitties is sending her (I’m hoping it’s a female) to a place where we know she’ll find warmth and kibble and adventure!

    B.) I think you should hold a contest to name the new character..( unless you have a name in mind 😊)
    C.) People are calling it a Polydactyl kitten but I don’t see any wings on the kitten.. Then I looked up the word on Google and learned a new word tonight 🙂

    Yay, PolyDactyl Kitten! I’ve become the local “cat lady” of our street (or our part of it) in terms of feeding wandering cats when they come to the back of the house, and this past Autumn we were visited by a Polydactyl boy – only came by a few times, and obviously had a home (as to most if not all of our “visitors”), but he was the first extra-toed cat that I’d seen in person, and so holds a special space in my heart. I hope the kitten is as beautiful as our visitor!

    Elvis’ reaction to a new cat should be interesting. Will he be aggressively poofy as with Tommy, Tabitha and Burt? Or will his ‘inner protector’ kick in toward a little kitten as it did with the new baby? I’ve love it if Uncle Elvis lets her get away with anything and everything! 🙂

    Like most humans, my cats have always grabbed things with their front extremities, using the rear extensions to kick and stand only. Therefore I differentiate: front paws (little cat hands) have fingers – back paws (little cat feet) have toes.
    The newcomer has too many fingers. 🙂

    I first read this on Thursday right before falling asleep (as I’ve been sick), and immediately dreamed that the lost Polydactyl kitten was in my bedroom saying, “Ma’am? Ma’am?” My reply, of course, was to beckon the kitten over and say, “Come here, Polly. I need a little spoon.”

    Is it possible to be too invested in Breaking Cat News? If so, I think I am.

    I love a mashmellow world too. I had a mama cat that came to my house but I couldn’t get near her. So I made her a bed on the carport and left food for her. I named her Mama Lady. She rewarded me by giving me one of her kittens. Later she died but I think I did what I could do for her.

    My dear, departed Madison was polydactyl. His mother was a show Persian who got out at the wrong time and met a stray cat. He was very intelligent, and sweet for the most part. When he was still a tiny kitten he was this huge puff of golden fur with a little flat face. He couldn’t handle grooming all his fur, so Malachi and Meriadoc, much to his chagrin, would pin him down and groom him. I wish I had some good pictures of his feet, because he really did have thumbs on his forepaws, and could grab things with them sometimes.
