Video Treat: Super-Kitten

Look! There on the bed! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s==Super Kitten!

Able to leap tall pillows in a single bound, and to run sideways all over your bed…

Don’t you love it when kittens first figure out how to puff out their tails, or run sideways, and do it all the time because it’s new and exciting to them?

Sanity Break: Dog Sings ‘You Raise Me Up’

Before we get into reporting any of the unedifying news of this day (if I can find the stomach for it), how about a trio singing this lovely song, You Raise Me Up–two guys, with a French Bulldog to sing the harmony? Call me a nut, but I find this rather beautiful.

Just one thing: how come when dogs sing, it’s cute, but when cats sing, they get shoes thrown at them?

Video Treat: Cats & Dogs & Cars

Every cat I’ve ever had has absolutely hated riding in a car. They suspected they were being taken to the vet, and they were always right. The cats in this video hate it, too.

Dogs seem to love it.

I have to say that of all the pets I’ve ever had, the best-behaved in a car were my two rats. Either one would just sit quietly on my shoulder and let the scenery go by.

P.S.–I strongly advise anyone not to let cats ride loose in the car, in case you have to stop suddenly. Use a cat carrier.

Sanity Break: Cats Doing the Unexpected

Note: I recommend turning the volume way down on this appalling music. But the video portion is great.

You never know what a cat is going to do next, and the cats in this film are determined to prove it.

Video Treat: Cats & Dogs & Babies

Boy, some babies really do love cats and dogs! And some cats and dogs really do love babies.

I don’t know about you, but this video just about makes me wish I could be a baby again and see how my cats treat me.

Bonus Video: Sleeping Dogs

Well, they do say let sleeping dogs lie. Does that still hold true when they’re sleeping in rather strange positions?

Kissing Your Kitty to Sleep

Gotta do something to kick-start this blog today–hardly anybody here.

So how about an early cat video? Do you ever do this–kiss a kitten to sleep? It’sOK to kiss grown-up cats, too.

Interesting Medical Fact: According to a poster on display at my doctor’s office, babies who are cuddled by dogs or cats develop measurably stronger immune systems than babies who aren’t.

So there you have it–cats and dogs are good for you! And a whale of a lot more fun than eating salad or doing calisthenics.

Sanity Break: Fun with Hamsters

Cute and cuddly hamsters–well, mine were mostly grumpy and they slept a lot, but the ones in this video make me want to go out and get one myself. I don’t know what the cats would think of that.

Sanity Break: Your Furry Babies

All right, so I’m a sap for kittens. But then so are a lot of people!

Here are kittens being bottle-nursed by human beings. I don’t know about trying to do it with one bottle and four kittens tumbling all around your lap. But it can’t be as bad as 100 fiddler crabs breaking out of your bait-bag all at once…

Sanity Break: Cat and Dog Play Tag

Enough with the news, already! Let’s have something sane.

This cat and dog have a regular game going, and if I were their size, I’d want to join in.

I wonder if I could get them to play chess.
