Okay we’ll have a Caturday this week, but we’ll see about forthcoming weeks. If you have a cat-related item for me to consider, by all means send it along. First, we have an eight-minute video of a real “cat lady”, who has over a thousand moggies. She’s turned her house into a sanctuary/rescue center/adoption center, so…

We’re back with three Caturday items and a bit of lagniappe. First, Larry the Cat, the Chief Mouser of the Cabinet Office, has shirked his job, catching almost no nice after 15 years at 10 Downing Street. But at least, at the ripe old age of 19, Larry has not only caught a mouse, but…

For example, he recently caught his third mouse, though that was nominally his job as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. All Brits love him now (save for the miscreants), and he’s…

Sit back and enjoy the…

We’re back with the Caturday felids: three items and several more for lagniappe. First, an 18-minute video from Meowtopia about how cats see humans. It’s designed to prove that cats aren’t just using us, but that we are “their secure base.” It’s a mixture of true facts mixed with some dry humor, somewhat like a…
