If you have cats,  none of  these shots  will amaze you.   If you don’t,  you will laugh until your sides hurt.

Cat naps…

with 5 comments

If you have a cat,  these photos  will make perfectly good sense to you.   If you don’t,  you will wonder not only how cats get themselves into such awkward-looking confines,  but why they even attempt it.   They are enormously flexible creatures,  but perhaps they try simply because they like a really stiff challenge.

Here are some  simple tips  for deciphering the body language of your dog or cat.   Having owned one or the other for decades,  I can say that these rules hold up well for the vast majority of normal animals.

Cat heaven…

Even if you don’t love cats,  you’ll have to admire  this cat sanctuary  in Hawaii,  which lets visitors cuddle cats all day,  or adopt one,  for free.

Parrot vs cats…

leave a comment »

How does a parrot flummox three cats?   He  meows at  them.   Kittens meow to their mothers,  but once they become adults,  cats meow only to humans.   No wonder these kitties are confused!

I know I’ve said this before,  but it really does bear repeating with ObamaCare having been so destructive to our medical system.   Do not let your dog or cat lick your face..   Here’s why.

Jock VI moves in…

leave a comment »

Winston Churchill was given a marmalade cat by one of his private secretaries,  who he named the cat for.  It was his wish that there always be a cat named Jock at Chartwell,  and that wish is  being fulfilled  anew by the introduction of Jock VI.

You’re just another big cat…

Or at least  that’s what  one study shows your own cat thinks,  and it would certainly explain some of their attitude towards humans.   I had cats as a child and quite enjoyed them,  but I prefer dogs as a species.
