I know this is a cat news blog, and I know this isn’t even “news,” but I remembered it this morning and couldn’t help post about it. It’s the work of photographer Erwin Fichou.
Fichou photographs dog owners wearing garments made from their dog’s fur. There are definitely people out there who make/wear things made from [...]

Before we finally got a cat when I was 12, my mom gave me every excuse she could think of for why we couldn’t have cat. When my sister was a baby, she (and my grandmother, who was TERRIFIED of cats) told me that cats get jealous of new babies and will climb into their [...]

Two sites recently came to my attention: The Daily Kitten and the Daily Kitten (yes, those are two different sites. “The” can be a very significant word.)
Look, I like kittens, and the kittens on those sites are adorable and playful and delightful and everything kittens should be. But where are the cats of a [...]

This week I’d like to bring your attention to a story coming out of the Galapagos Islands. The good news: a new species of Iguana has been identified on the Galapagos Islands, and it’s pink!

I am mostly unfamiliar with the music of Katy Perry, beyond “I Kissed a Girl,” but I love that her cat’s name is Kitty Purry.
