Video Treat: Death-Defying Cats

Well, now I think I know why they call cat burglars cat burglars.

But please do not try to imitate these cats. They are crazy.

Video Treat: Cats’ Welcome Wagon

Who’s the lummox who said cats don’t care for you? Here are some cats who are very glad you’re back, wherever you were, and don’t mind showing it.

And now it’s time for me to see if lying down in bed can help me any…

Video Treat: Loquacious Kittens

Yes, I’m ignoring the news today. This constitutes a sanity break. Let’s have some talkative kittens instead.

Gotta tell ya, my cats didn’t seem to like this video. After about a minute of it, they both went upstairs.

Anyway, here are some kittens with an awful lot to say and a most emphatic way of saying it, urgently trying to communicate… who knows?

Video Treat: Cats in Hiding

Cats get into the darnedest places, don’t they?

When they were kittens, Robbie and Peep sort of disappeared and I just couldn’t find them anywhere…. until I looked under the bed. Nothing at first. And then the two little heads, upside-down, popped out from inside the box springs. Eeyah!

Video Treat: Cats Loving Babies

It’s hard to remember being a baby. I can’t do it. But I think I could, if I’d had a cat to cuddle me. I’ll bet that does wonders for the baby’s development.

Just be sure the cat understands she or he is to be gentle with the baby, before you leave the two of them alone together.

A lot of the babies in this video are laughing merrily as they play with the cat. I would love the see what the bond between the baby and the cat is like, five or six years down the road.

Is Your Cat a Moth Whisperer?

Everybody’s cat chases moths. But does your cat talk to the moths?

Our old cat, Henry, used to give moths a big piece of his mind, especially when they parked on the ceiling, way out of reach. “Come down here, you coward! I triple-dog dare you to come down!” Very strong language for a cat; I know he didn’t learn it from his mother.

Video Treat: Kitty Can’t Stay Awake

Watch this poor kitten try to stay away–can’t quite manage it. This reminds me of some lectures I’ve attended.

Happy Fourth of July, everybody.

Video Treat: Flying Cats

Check out the moves on these cats. Don’t you wish you could be as athletic as that? Imagine what you could do on a basketball court. “Folks, he’s 67 years old, but he’s got the moves of a cat. I mean–wow, did you see that? He ducked the ball from half-court! I don’t believe my eyes!” [Has to be carted off, raving]

Video Treat: Lights Out!

Now for a little fun before I relax with Freddy Goes Camping and probably fall asleep. Watch what happens as this cat tries and tries to catch the moth!

Cats love to chase moths. My old cat Henry, though, also liked to scold the moths. Sometimes a moth would just rest on the ceiling, way out of reach, and then Henry would give the insect a piece of his mind. Really, what that moth was doing wasn’t fair!

Another Cat, Another Scary Movie

I guess cats really shouldn’t watch horror movies–although I must say my cat, Buster, sat on my lap purring the whole time we watched The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Maybe he just didn’t think the Creature was all that scary.
