don't shoot the BIG cat

looks like house cats aren't only the group being targeted.

i doubt they'll ever be able to get his guy into a carrier after this. what a tenacious kitty.

pesticides on the skin can be bad for you? no kidding!

peta always has something to say when it's someone else doing the killing.

happy hump day!

sable, a gorgeous muted tortie, is over at the west-side store waiting for you to come get her. "i can haz fourevah hom now?"

the people responsible for the menu foods recall two years ago are have plead guilty and will soon be sentenced. we think they should have to eat a few "well-balanced" meals of melamine-tainted wheat gluten along with paying a few fines.

the suspected florida cat killer has been released while awaiting the results of a psychological exam.

we would much rather find this adorable dottie look-a-like in a mail box than one of these!

warning! you have a little over 24 hours to complete your ballot for madison's favorites. make it so!

live long and prospurr

the budding mad scientist who put his kitten in a bong has been arrested again - go figure.

a new webgame challenges you to stack watermelons and cats atop a pedestal. we're not sure why they chose watermelons and cats but i guess if i had to put one fruit and one animal on a pedestal watermelons and cats would be a prett good choice. play the game and waste a few minutes.

another sicko is out there - this time the kitty will be ok.

this web comic implies that cat people are inane - we beg to differ. we're not inane, we're mad-diddly-mad!

a funny star trek video for all the cat-lovin' trekkies out there.

kittehvolution!

scientist now think cats became domesticated as many as 10,000 years ago in the fertile crescent - still no word on dino-cats, though.

fuzzy wuzzies are the perfect antidote for a case of the mondays - unless you suffer from a fear of adorable bunnies and kitties, in which case we pity you.

43,000 pounds of cat food was spilled onto a florida highway - dottie already booked her ticket to paradise.

florida cat-owners can breathe a bit easier now that the cat killer has been caught. perhaps we can use this unfortunate story to bring focus to ending all the other unnecessary animal deaths that occur all across the country every day.

roomba zoomba

this one goes out to our old pal, joe, a roomba and kitty enthusiast! gabby would really get a kick out of a ride like this - she's our shoulder/tree/shopping basket-riding enthusiast. a real wild child (when she's not sleeping, that is)!

toxic plants and couch monsters

check your home and gardens for these common, but poisonous, plants. catnip is not on the list, but if you have some really spaced-out kittehs you may want to check for that, too.

finally an excuse for the awkwardness that is garfield - toxoplasmosis makes you either paranoid or very promiscuous. did jon even have a girlfriend?

while we get that the heart is in the right place it just seems kind of freaky to stuff your beloved, deceased pet's ashes into a throw pillow.

ladies, gentlemen, distinguished cats, it looks like we have a new enemy on our hands, a feline-munching couch. we may need to call in rick moranis. "feeeeeeeed me!"

coga? cats and yoga and eagles, oh my!

doing push-ups in the company of cats almost always leads to a face full of cat hair. why do they do that? now you can use their inexhaustible curiosity to lose a few.

the recession is really taking a toll on a cat sanctuary in florida. 600 cats and counting - sounds like a new tlc reality series in the making.

the best thing about this video of a cat and a bald eagle is the cat acting like he could take down the giant bird of prey - after he flew away.

mythological lion-headed, snake-tailed, fire-breathing beasts are cool, and sound a little like dottie when she wakes up on the wrong side of the cat tree.
