Cuter Kitty

A cat with wings? Wow, this is just weird.

That’s right, we’re evolving our way into super hearing. Meet Yoda, the cat with four ears. I can’t even look at the picture without my eyes going all screwy. If I see a cat with four eyes, I may have to hide under the bed.

Wish you could think like a cat? Wish no more. The Meow Mix Acatemy opened up in New York, helping people understand cats. Listen, as a cat, I’ll be honest, if you could hear our inner thoughts, they would be:

• Wow, litter is clean today.
• Pay attention to me?
• I can has tuna?

That’s it. Nothing fancy. I love this quip from Mayor Bloomberg from the article:

Even the most seasoned cat owner must admit that it sometimes seems as if our feline friends are speaking a different language - which is why the understanding generated by the Meow Mix Acatemy is good news for two- and four-legged New Yorkers alike.

Phinny, a male tortoise shell cat was found in San Diego. This is actually an incredibly rare find, as males only occur as a genetic anomaly — most tortoise shell cats are female. Only about 1:3,000 being male.

A cat is kidnapped, taken overseas, and released. The owner received an anonymous letter with a map to where the cat was left. This is just weird, both for the extremes the perpetrator went to, as well as the detail with which the owner was notified.

Whoa, an article on how to make kitty crack (distilled catnip extract). You have to be careful with this stuff; if you accidentally spilled it on yourself and walked around the neighborhood, you’d probably be covered in cats by the end of the block.

Canadian Post is afraid of a cat. I know we’re very fearsome creatures, but it’s impressive when we can stop the mail…even when declawed.

Yes, another cat meme site. I like cats as much as the next person, but how many of these sites can the Internet support? Well, maybe just one more.

We cats love surprises, like hiding away in your suitcase while you’re packing. My favorite excerpt:

They had asked me, when they put … the luggage through the X-ray, whether I had a turkey…[Security] kept going back and forth with [the suitcase]…I was adamant. ‘Look, I have no turkey.’

Cats can use public transportation. I choose not to, though, because I’d rather drive.
