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!
Go ahead, tell me you know somebody else who has a pet penguin. I dare you. And a penguin who does some of your shopping for you, no less.
This kind of penguin is native to Antarctica, but he seems very much at home in Japan, which I have heard is somewhat warmer.
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.
There’s all sorts of disgusting and outrageous news I could be reporting, but I think instead that I’ll just show you these good dogs getting all excited over what they see on television.
Yes–dogs know how to have fun. Do they ever!
With a truly impressive display of what President Kennedy used to call “vigah,” this cat leaps to the top of a folding door, inches away from the ceiling. And once he’s up there, he’s purrin’ and rubbin’ and happy as can be.
Not that anyone has ever figured cats out–but what’s so great about the top of that door? My cats get happy when I share my langostinos with them, but I doubt that any door could ever turn them on like this.
Explain it if you can!
There have been times in my life when I’ve wondered whether kittens actually do sleep, ever. This video proves they do. At least a little.
Look, it’s been a hard week, and this video is intended to soothe us all. I mean, if this doesn’t relax you, I don’t know what will. I am wide, wide awake because I stillll have… got to….[clunk]… zzzzzzz….
See these babies following a dog, a cat, or human being? They have a very strong instinct to bond to whoever or whatever they learn to regard as their mother.
I once met a man who had raised two Canada geese from chicks. They were by then full-grown, and they still followed him everywhere he went. Didn’t fly south for the winter, either–not if it meant leaving Daddy!
Do you ever wonder, sometimes, what our pets see in us? If we could only live up to it! But we can try…
All right, this one is a bit longer (7 min.) than the cat videos I usually post. But I’ve had a hard two days and watching kittens play relaxes me. Especially when I don’t have to clean up any mess they care to make.
Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your prayers. No further word from the hospital as yet.
Meanwhile, because life goes on, and because I love cats–they are God’s stuff, and that’s why they still work right–and love watching them, here we have a few kitties who need more practice. But I guess if you’re as athletic as a cat, you can take a fall with no harm done.
Don’t you just love the subtle way cats operate? He wants you to stop playing the piano and pay attention to him instead. Does he walk up and bite your ankle? Heck, no. Much, much more fun to quietly interfere until whatever you’re trying to do becomes impossible. Our cats like to flop themselves down on top of jigsaw puzzles while we’re trying to do them. And you know what any cat does if he thinks this is not a good time for you to be reading a book.
New Feature: I’ll post reader-suggested videos, if you want to send some in. Bear in mind my want of technological know-how. Join in the fun! We can all use a daily break from watching our whole civilization go down the tube.
