Cat-related matters

Happy 9th Birthday Miette & Molly

Today is the day we designated their birthdays since neither cat has a known date. Molly’s estimated age was given to us through the shelter, making it the more “accurate” one. As you all know by now, Miette was a … Continue reading

Molly, ten pounds of raw aggression, now on video!

Normally the cats stop doing the funny things they’re doing as soon as we get the camera rolling but not this time! Besides being the psychotic cat, Molly is the most territorial. Whenever a stray animal other than a dog … Continue reading

A belated Caturday or is it Faturday?

Don’t let the source of this story fool you. Somara and I aren’t into UK celebrity gossip but when it comes to a cat weighing almost 30 pounds, we take notice. It definitely puts Molly’s weight issues into perspective (she … Continue reading

Artistic Cat Toilets?

Somara discovered an awesome looking litter box on the Internet. Pretty inconspicuous but unfortunately, two of our cats like to take a dump on plants whenever they can. Still, this product is a neat attempt to marry function to form.

Bloody Caturday

Nemo and Molly decided to ratchet up their hatred this morning instead of letting us sleep. Normally they get uppity around 5-6 AM because they want to eat. On workdays, not a problem, feeding them is part of the daily … Continue reading

I’m ready for my closeup Mr. DeMeow

Somara tested out the video-recording element of our new camera on Nemo. Just like a child, the cat decided to hold still and do nothing amusing while “filming.” But it’s Caturday, so click on the picture to see him doing … Continue reading

The cat in this movie is so fired

After reading the article, I’m hoping Professor Kobayakawa will not be letting these mice loose on the world. I understand the practical application; how does fear work in mammals. I am not keen on mice having the chutzpah of Pixie & … Continue reading

Rest in Peace Wicca

With great sadness, we had to have Wicca euthanized today since her ongoing battle with cancer was taking its toll. Somara and I felt we did everything possible to keep Wicca alive and happy. We agreed that if she didn’t … Continue reading

I’m still whipping together November’s colors and an explanation for it as I’m juggling catsitting, a lack of sleep, a slew of things to do plus the general fatigue cold weather brings. However, here’s a little cat levity to kick off … Continue reading

Arrrr! Where’s the Tender Vittles?!

I thought this picture kills many birds with one stone since I’m rather sleepy from the appearance of cold weather and I have to go to work a tad earlier while my friend Adam is on vacation: his three cats … Continue reading

Why cat owners rarely get to sleep in

Alaire sent me this cartoon originally but it was in the inferior Windows Media format. Thankfully Adam found it on YouTube which is more accessible to everyone. I think Nemo trained this animated cat on the various techniques of annoying humans … Continue reading

Here giant mousie, mousie, mousie

This weekend I went out to my friend Deborah’s place way out near Bee Cave (it’s southwest of Austin, I think). She and her husband Dale have this bitchin’ house in an area called Briarcliff with a great view of … Continue reading

Cat care from the beyond the grave?

Now this owner is dedicated to her cats as the cartoon demonstrates. I can relate though.

New incentive for using Feline Pine

Every once in a while, the Feline Pine people have mail-in rebates for their product. I know I enjoyed depositing that five-dollar check into our vacation fund recently. Before I threw away the “envelope” it appeared in, there was a URL … Continue reading

Some cats have midi-chlorians

It’s been a while since the New Yorker’s animated podcast did a cartoon involving cats but this one is definitely the funniest in a while. Then again, I’ve never met a cat (yet) that was spiteful about the operation, including the males.
