I love when cats go into crouching ~~tiger~~ kitten, hidden dragon mode on little bugs. They don't want to kill them, necessarily, they just enjoy little scurrying things. (OK, maybe they want to eff with them a teensy bit.) His flexibility is quite impressive, I have to say.

Très Bizarre: Prisoner Wants Visit From Mom - Who Is a Cat

Five years may be a short prison sentence, but that's 36 years in cat time. Way too long for Peter Koenig, a German inmate who wants to see his mother while serving a five-year sentence for armed robbery. One small, furry problem, though. His deceased mother is reincarnated as a cat, or so he believes.
The (formerly) heat-packing Buddhist took his fight to court, demanding cat-visiting rights, but was turned down for being unable to "furnish proof that his deceased mother had been reborn in the cat.” In a misguided gesture the court suggested a compromise: he could always write her.

Funny as this story sounds, it seems to me that if you can have human visitors in prison, why not have furry, four-legged ones?

This squash-faced kitteh sure has the sweet life! Not only does he get fed by hand, with chopsticks, but if his human ~~companion~~ servant doesn't do it fast enough, he swats her! It's good to be the king.

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Female Cat Scorned

This dialogue - well, OK, monologue - may sound uncomfortably familiar to some of you. If you haven't had this conversation in real life, then I'm sure you've heard it at the movies. My favorite part is when the significantly smaller "boy" cat gets in one pathetic word: "Right." Kick him to the curb, lady! Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Instead of creating a cat door for their little feline friend, these people made their cat do the heavy lifting. She knows how to knock on the freaking door to ask permission to be let in! I love her serious little patient face as she waits. Sigh. I heart cats.

Friday Feel Good: Simon's Cat Continues to Be Needy

In advance of Happy Caturday, I thought I'd post this cute cartoon Fuzzles sent our way. The Simon's cat series depict essentially the same scenario: Simon's cat will not be ignored, and resorts to all manner of devious acts to get attention. Whether it's jumping all over Simon when he tries to sleep, or messing up his papers when he's trying to work, the cat is a punkass. But still adorable.

They say you have to be extra careful about the meat you buy these days, but even going organic with Niman Ranch might not save your from E. coli poisoning if your friendly neighborhood meat department is this lax with its standards of hygiene . . .

The standards for beauty have truly reached impossible heights. Now, not only do you have to be uberthin to be considered beautiful, you can't even be human!

Replacing stick-thin human models with feline ones, fashion line United Bamboo has given new meaning to "cat walk" with its limited edition 2010 calendar featuring little furries modeling its ready-to-wear line. (In case you're wondering - they're already out of stock!) I have to say, these cats do make the garments look quite fetching! And they're pretty good at smiling with their (cat's) eyes.

A friend sent me this video on Facebook, and before I even had a chance to do a video-grab, it was yanked. While shedding hot tears and searching YouTube, I was reunited once again with one of the best cat videos I've ever seen. (I don't say that lightly.) A woman and cat seem to have this amazing routine together: she brushes her teeth, and her cat jumps on her head. Pay careful attention to :45 and 1:21. Wow.

Although it looks like someone drew in Groucho Marx eyebrows on this kitty, I think those brows are real! Maybe a little fur dye or kitten electrolysis will help this cat so that he doesn't have to go through life looking so quizzical. Or maybe it doesn't matter - it looks like someone is in love with him just the way he is!
