cat sneakers

So you guys, I’ve been thinking about incorporating more cat fashion into my life . . .

If these cat sneakers weren’t $49 and weren’t beige, I’d be wearing them right now.

vivienne westwood attacked by stuffed cat

Cat attack!

At first glance I thought this might have been some sort of anti-fur thing, but I think that stuffed cat was thrown out of love.

cat playing theremin

My old roommate played the theremin, and it is a lot harder than it looks. But this cat is doing a pretty good job. Please watch the whole thing, because the best part is the end:

Cats playing music for each other! I love it.

I worry about the safety of this cat:

Serial killers always start with animals . . .

Special thanks to my co-worker Vanessa for sending me this one:

fat cat

Why are fat animals so much cuter than fat people?

I know he probably has all sorts of obesity-related diseases, but he’s so adorable!

In case anyone’s wondering, there are currently some issues in the greater whiskers family, and posting may be slow for the next few days. Please bear with me!

the woman behind those crazy japanese cat costumes

worldwidewhiskers — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:04:32 +0000

You’ve probably seen these incredibly wacky Japanese cat costumes before:

Now you can meet the tailor behind them: Takako Iwasa. While it’s a very lovely and inspiring article, it does repeat these incredibly bizarre instructions for dressing up your cat:

“First, dress her up. Cheer or yell. Do whatever you like to enjoy the moment with your family. Second, after you are enough with your joy, take a photo! And third, remove her clothes and give her a hug, say ‘Thank you!’”

Imagine how that would seem from the cat’s point of view. First, your owner forces you into a ridiculous costume. Then he or she yells at you. Then he or she snaps a flash photo in your eyes. Then it’s all over and you get a hug. All that’s needed for it to sound completely like abuse is for there to be a fourth step of whispering in the cat’s ear not to tell anyone about what happened or you’ll kill her.

golden girls love golden cats

What can I say about a video that features Rue McClanahan of the Golden Girls and cats? Aside from the fact that it’s awesome?

And I here thought Betty White was the only golden girl who loved animals.

hipster kitty

If you liked Hipster Puppies (and really, what kind of sick person wouldn’t?), then you’ll love Hipster Kitty. Here are some of my favorites:

caption: Kitty wishes her mom would stop referring to mashup artists as “cover bands”.

caption: This has to be the most boring Michel Gondry film Pork Chop has ever seen.

caption: “Buffalo Exchange won’t sell me new skinny jeans until I put on some pants.”

It’s so much more fun looking at pictures of hipster animals than actual hipsters.
