Do you want to cry about the passing of a beloved pet?

If so, I have some links for you!!!

• Cats in the NYT
• Cat the Cat

Lewis, fetch me a glass of your finest Merlot

It could happen.

CATPACK

I am sure Lewis is a size Large.

Concerns from Lewis' Dad:

That is a step in the right direction, but its not as hands free as I want.
I think it needs to come up higher because he would probably get out (not because he isn't having a great time, but because he's so excited he's having too good of a time).

I must be a little cat wacky, because this week a few people have sent me cat-related items to post here. But I am not cat wacky enough to include my pet on the US Census form, resulting in a jury duty summons.

The article is worth reading, if for no other reason than the great cat puns in the comments section:
Do you swear to meow the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
I mew.

"Kitty" to the tune of "Gypsy"

So I'm back to the scratching post
Back to the floor that I love
To a room with some newspapers to shred
Back to the kitty that I was
To the kitty... that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
And catnip strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your kitty
You see your kitty

To the kitty that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a kitten
And the kitten was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is purring away from you now
She was just a meow
She was just a meow
And a hairball is all that is left for you now
You see your kitty
You see your kitty

Catnip strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you

Catnip strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
I have always loved you
And it all comes down to you

Cat-themed cover band

My newest endeavor is forming a cover band that takes pop hits from the 80's, 90's, and beyond, and reworks the lyrics to include more cat-oriented language.

This bro at ICHC knows what I'm talking about:


For those among us with more contemporary taste, you may enjoy my rendition of Yacht's "Psychic City," which I will call "Psychic Kitty."



This band needs a name. Suggestions?

P.S. Best comment on the Yacht video: "FUCKING FREAKSHOW CUNTS GO AND DIE"

Lewis, don't get any ideas

I am creeped out. Thank you mrdubin.

Explorer: Science of Cats

This National Geographic series is compelling for the title alone. They blew it in the photo section; most of the pictures are of hairless cats. Next time, they should use Lewis Catberger as their catmodel. See headshot below. Kthxbai.

Plantz on Pizza

Silly!

Crazy Cat People

This sweet NYT essay defending cat ownership is a fun read, but the comments section refutes the author's thesis that cat people are not wackadoodles who should be tracked like sex offenders.

I haven't read all of the posts yet but this one jumped out as an early favorite (and, strengthens the case for Cherry):

You should never own just one cat. The need for same-species friendship is universal. My two cats never tire of playing or napping together, even though both were adoped separately as adults. They are named after two iconic Americans. My large and gangly orange tabby tom is named Duke after John Wayne. My elegant all-black female is named Condoleezza after a favorite political star and hopefully future President.

Moustache cat!

Thanks Jenny.

Cherry

I think Lewis wants a catfriend.

I nominate Cherry:

Cats eating flowers

PB has been eating a lot of the flowers at our house, and promptly barfs them up. PB when will you learn?

ORDER STARBUCKS PAY IN MIXTAPES

This is silly

Best tag ever, on the ICHC homepage!



Lewis Catberger needs to get it on that ASAP.

Boozecats!!??!?!!?

Thanks Laura for sending me this interview with the creator of Boozecats. I need a kitty internet business plan. Moustaches haven't panned out so far.

CATIOS

Thank you Mike. I know a few kitties who would appreciate a catio. And I know a lady who will help you determine if your cat is among them:

(10:02:34 AM): Even indoors, a cat enclosure can be a boon, said Carole C. Wilbourn, a cat therapist in Manhattan who recommends them to clients struggling with what she calls “inter-cat hostility.”

(10:02:36 AM): found my calling

(10:02:38 AM): bye standard time

(10:02:43 AM): i will be a kitty therapist

I can has business plan?

Kitttehs converting into moneez in the NYT! Lewis, get on that.

What's With the Cattitude?

OPI's new Shrek collection has some ugly colors with great names. At the head of the class is a light blue called What's With the Cattitude! A real pussycat.
