I couldn’t resist the sheep using the trampoline. Even if I had Bigfoot video, the bouncing sheep would be better.
But there’s a lot of fun in these clips, even without a trampoline.

Cats & Kittens (without Bigfoot)
Yes, you read that right: there is no Bigfoot footage in this video. Just a lot of cats and kittens.
Just as rare as Bigfoot, these days, are phone booths. But one of these cats has invented a new way to drop a dime…
Extra Chuckle: Cat Tries to Eat Picture of Food
In all honesty, I thought it was a plate full of cookies, or cold cuts, too. In fact, it’s just a placemat. But it was realistic enough to fool a cat.
Tricky business, all that two vs. three-dimensional stuff. Good thing there aren’t more dimensions.
Back to bed!
Chasing Their Shadows
Okay, I’m beginning to wonder–do dogs have trouble distinguishing two dimensions from three? Or do they just chase their own shadows for fun?
My iguana used to try to eat pictures of fruit or vegetables painted on the plate, so those dimensions must’ve confused him, too. I wonder if we can find any video of dogs trying to eat pictures.
(P.S.–Still sick, but able to eat supper and post this video. Experience tells me this’ll be over sometime tomorrow. So far it’s been all day today. *Sigh*)
Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who’s the Fiercest of Them All?
Something, I don’t know what it is, holds animals back from grasping the concept of a mirror. I had a little lizard once who got so upset when he saw his reflection, I had to make sure he never saw it again. No more mirrors for you, guy! But even smarter animals like cats and dogs just don’t get it. And watch out for that box turtle–he’s really cheesed off.
Why Do Cats Have 9 Lives?
Why do cats have nine lives? Because they need ’em! I mean, look at some of the situations they get themselves into, just in this little 6-minute video.
By the way, we have a clip here of a cat who’s actually on a tin roof. It doesn’t appear to be hot tin.
Not Exactly ‘Man Bites Dog’
I couldn’t find any video of a man biting a dog. The best I could do was “fuzzy little bunny rabbit chases big black dog all around the barnyard.” The chickens, I regret to say, were not amused.
Because animals are so much more intelligent than we give them credit for, they can learn behaviors that don’t seem natural to them. The dog’s supposed to eat the bunny, right? But he’s not going to, and the bunny knows it.
Cat Talk
Holy moly! Did you see the size of that owl, trying to get in through the window? No wonder the cat made a fuss about it!
Here we are treated to a sampling of cat vocalizations, some of them already infamous, like to two Siamese objecting to their human’s taking a shower. Actually, these sounds all mean something. H.P. Lovecraft wrote about talking cats as someone who would’ve given just about anything to speak their language. But we can all learn some of it.
Like, I know which sounds mean “Feed me!”
One Bag, Two Cats
People think it’s so easy to find a serviceable cat video! It’s not. We don’t want situations which some human obviously set up just so he could be on Youtube. When it comes to cat videos, humans should neither be seen nor heard. You don’t see a cat horning in on the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. Although that might improve it.
Anyway, here are two cats and only one can fit inside the paper bag. Sounds like the plot of a not very successful movie. Probably with Kevin Costner. Enjoy.
Furthering Your Cats’ Education
Wishing only to expand their horizons, without subjecting them to college, I ran out and bought my cats one of these fidget spinners. It held their interest, mildly, for 15 minutes: my cats have black belts in blase. Now I’m the only one who bothers with it.
I do love the solemn, pensive expression on that grey-and-white cat’s face. Grey-and-white cats are very good at doing solemn.
