Kitty workout

Oh, and we must have a cat today. Get your fat moggie off the couch and make it feel the burn. This cat workout video is ultimately an ad, but a funny one, and not obstrusive. h/t: Michelle

Henri: capitalist hypocrite

Unless Henri stops flogging his book (as he does in this new video) as well as Friskies cat food, I will post on him no more.  This video, in which Henri pretends existential angst while, of course, mentioning his book at the same time decrying the profiteering of his owner, is an exercise in hypocrisy.

Two photos for Tuesday

Just to start the day off with a “gee” and a smile. First, a photo of some famous bits of Earth taken from the International Space Station by Commander Chris Hadfield, who’s given us many nice pictures. Before you click on the link, let’s see how good you are: guess where this is: And a […]

Monday felid

Reader Patrik sent me a paper he wrote on the evolution of language and then, as an addendum, enclosed a felid picture with this note: I also provide a cat photo from Manila, Philippines, where I am a resident at present (I’m Swedish). The photo is taken outside the local cat lady’s house. Please feel […]

All I’m capable of: kitten nomming pancaeks

There are three felid-related bits and bobs today, including this parrot who has learned to meow like a cat: ***** On to #2. We’ve had stories before about owls and eagles caught in car grills or windshields, but here, from the Daily Mail, is the tail of Muril, an Austrian tabby caught in the grill of […]

Monday felid

It’s going to be a long, hard week, so why not begin with a felid and a bit of good news?  Reader Ant called my attention to a tweet from Earthpicks described as “Firefighter in Denmark rescues cat from burning house.The way he hugs cat and the expressions of cat says it all.” Truefact!

A reader’s beautiful cat who lives in a beautiful place

Meet a beautiful cat whose photo was sent by a reader wishing to be identified only as “reader—one who very much enjoys your website.” Thanks, reader! This is a lovely cat, and I have a weakness for black moggies, so I asked the reader to tell me a bit about it. Here’s the reply: His […]

Caturday felid bonanza: Russian cat licks vacuum cleaner hose, other big cats play Maru, and cat walks a toy

As always, the Russians and Chinese are producing the best cat videos. This one, from Russia, shows a kot sucking on a vacuum cleaner hose when the machine is running. Every other cat in the world flees from the sound of a vacuum cleaner. What’s going on here? Just to prove that cats are smarter […]

Which are smarter: dogs or cats?

The answer, much as I’d like it to be “cats” is actually “it’s a meaningless question.” Or so is the unbiased opinion of Higgs, the Answer Cat. Acting as a mouthpiece for his owner Faye Flam, Higgs has a new science column in Parade magazine, which comes as a Sunday supplement in many American newspapers. Faye, […]
