Intrepid Cats Pursue Moth

Yes, it’s always a big occasion when a moth gets into the house; and the guy who filmed this is soooo lucky his cats didn’t run afoul of anything breakable.

Our two cats, Robbie and Peep, normally at war with one another, instantly close ranks whenever a bug violates our space. Down with the moth!

Our old cat Henry, when the moth came to rest on the ceiling, would sit there looking up at it and meowing angrily: “Come down from there, you coward!” Few moths complied.

Video Treat: Cats and Slippery Floors

Pay close attention to the black cat who has invented a game involving the slippery floor plus a dinette set. It took some smarts to think of that!

Sanity Break: Cat Watches TV

All right, I can’t stand any more. My blood pressure has shot way up again, for reasons I don’t know, and I need a cat break.

Observe this young fellow intently watching TV. I’ve had cats who watched for a while but then gave it up when they learned they could never get at the critters that lived inside it.

More Fun With Cats

I’m just about out of gas, but not before I post one more cat video.

If you don’t have a cat, run out and get one. Just kidding. But they are fun.

Sanity Break: Ollie the Kitten

My wife is in love with this noisy little character, so here he is: Ollie the talkative Siamese kitten. By now he has grown up to be a talkative cat.

Shouldn’t let him bite, though. It reminds me of how I used to think it was so cute to get down on all fours and encourage Buster the kitten to ride on my back. He really took to it, and when he was a full-grown very big cat, he’d hop on anybody’s back. That did not always go over very well.

Sanity Break: Dogs & Cats & Beds

Anything can happen when dogs and cats are brought up in the same household. And what usually happens is, the cat steals the dog’s new bed. These poor dogs don’t know what to do about it.

I wish I had a picture of my iguana cuddled up on my bed between his two good friends–a schnauzer and a big black cat.

Your Cat Can Help You Make the Bed

I was going to post some slowworm video, but decided not to push my luck. So here are some cats instead.

My cats have always liked to help me make the bed. They dive under the sheets, on top of the sheets, and have a wonderful time. If you get to playing with them, you can have a wonderful time, too–although the bed doesn’t get made.

A word of caution: Do not attempt any of this with a waterbed.

Sanity Break: Cats Making Funny Noises

Some cats make really strange noises while they’re eating. My cats don’t, but here are some that do.

If you’re wondering why I’m putting up all these posts this morning–well, it’s raining and I’m stuck indoors. But my wife wanted the rain for her garden, and I guess that’s that.

Video Treat:Kittens’ First Time

Here are kittens discovering that the world is full of amazing things they never expected.

I love it when kittens first find out that they can make puffy tails and run all around, doing it. My cats don’t bother to fluff their tails out anymore, but they had a grand week or so when they first learned how to do it.

Video Treat: Your Cat Loves You

Think about this thing that God has done. He has made it possible–in fact, not at all unusual–for members of totally different species to love each other.

Would we have thought of that, if any of us had made the heavens and the earth? No way we would have thought of that!

You have to be in a bad way indeed, if being hugged by a cat (or fussed over by a dog) doesn’t soothe your soul.

God loves us by pouring love on us!
