more robocats!

more robocats news. at least this one is pretty cute.

"The robo-cat is equipped with touch sensors that let it engage in such real-life feline behavior as purring, moving its legs when you rub its belly, and sleeping a lot. It will not, as far as we know, scratch your face or drag mice in." ......yeah, until the robot war starts. then you'll be lucky to escape with your eyeballs.

another shelter making the switch to no kill

the message of hope and compassion is spreading. the manatee county humane society is expanding it's reduced-fee spay and neuter clinic in efforts to move the shelter to no kill status by 2010.

here's the best part of the story: "A plumber, an electrician and other craftsmen have donated their services to build the clinic." it's just like nathan winograd says, trust the community and they will come through for you. to read up on or donate to the humane alliance, who provides training and funding for spay/neuter clinics across the country, click here.

to read more on the no kill movement and the history of sheltering pick up a copy of winograd's book, redemption, at any of our stores.

stuff on my cat

one of the best things about having cats is that they sleep a lot, and that affords us, their guardians, the perfect opportunity to pull pranks. we can pile random objects on them, put our glasses on them, put funny hats on their little heads, and even put other cats on them and they don't even care! to celebrate this wonderful part of human-cat bonding the gods of the interwebs brought us stuff on my cat, a site chock full of funny pics of cute cats with stuff on 'em. genius!

what kind of stuff do you put on your cat?

spayathons and weather cats

looks like the cats of hawaii are going to get a little nip and tuck from spayathon master mind jeff young, who has spayed and neutured "more than 160,000 animals" in his life. wow. that's....impressive? do you think there's a guinness record holder for that category? well if there is, jeff young is on the warpath to victory.

in other mews, a german cat decided it was time to pursue his dream of becoming a meteorologist. i wonder if his forecasts will all be in terms of how cold he is; "too cold. way too cold. stay-in-bed-cold. sit-next-to-heater-cold."
