When one of Jon’s nephews came to visit, he became convinced that we had a talking cat. I talk to Jack all the time, and he talks back. He understands when I am calling him, when I say “dinner!” and when jon wants to play with him. We understand when he is hungry and when [...]

I hope you enjoy this video, narrated by a very dignified British man, of cats getting high in a catnip garden. My favorite is the cat who is so high that he starts drooling.
I had no idea the flowers of catnip are so pretty. Maybe we can get Jack a little [...]

Today is Take Your Dog to Work Day.
Rather than complain about how it’s not Take Your Cat to Work Day, I thought I’d compile a set of pictures of cats at the office instead. Behold!
Somebody needs to learn to clean off his desk.
Somebody has too many post-its.
His desk isn’t messy, he just has a lot [...]

the dark side of animals in casts

This is Robin Hood.
He’s in a cast because someone shot his paw with an arrow.
Much as I love Fuck Yeah Animals with Casts, I have to admit that I didn’t think of the dark side of those adorable images. What if some of those animals, like Robin Hood, were in casts not because of accidents [...]
what makes a cat lady?

The moment I met Jack, I knew he was meant to be our cat. And while I haven’t felt anything that strongly towards another cat, I do melt at the sight of those trucks with cats up for adoption. As I said to Jon yesterday, if Jack wasn’t destined to be an only cat (his [...]

In the tradition of Fuck Yeah Puppies and Fuck Yeah Ryan Gosling comes Fuck Yeah Animals with Casts. The name really says it all.
Some are in wheelchairs . . .
Some have multiple injuries . . .
Some make me cry . . .
As the description says: “Animals with casts are really cute. We hope they get [...]
cat without a face

This is Chase (and her friend the chihuahua.)
Looks like your average cat, doesn’t she? Maybe you need to see her face.
I have to admit that the first time I saw a photo of Chase, I gasped in a mixture of shock/horror/disgust/sadness/etc. Hit by a car when she was just six weeks old, Chase, as you [...]
keyboard cat: the meme that won’t die

Just when I think I’ve seen every keyboard cat video out there, another one pops up. But the ones I’ve found today are two of my favorites. Super Keyboard Cat Bros? Helen Hunt and Hall and Oates? Yes, yes, and yes.
serial cat killer finally caught?
Posted in bad things happen to good cats, tagged cat serial killer, miami cat killings, tyler weinman on June 16, 2009 | 4 Comments »
This is Tyler Weinman.
He’s been arrested and accused of a horrific crime spree in Miami that included the murder and mutilation of nearly two dozen cats. The stories from Florida have been horrifying me for weeks now, and I’ve refrained from posting about them because I didn’t want to upset anyone else. But now [...]
