fat cat stretches

this fluffy cat reminds me of my own furball, who seems to get fatter every time I see her. and I love the look on his face.

cat (out of the bag)

cats really like bags. they just can't get enough of hiding in them, knocking them over, popping out of them to attack your feet, and sitting on top of the groceries when you are trying to put them away. anyway, here you can find a set of very adorable kitten pictures which made me happy despite the fact that i have two exams this week. and also a belated halloween cat! how festive of him to pose on top of a pumpkin.

sleepy kitten!

I take back what I said yesterday. This is actually the cutest video ever. I started to cry/laugh/squeal as I watched this. Behold, the power of the sleepy kitten to change your mood irrevocably. Cuteness overload. I really, really want a kitten now. Just some kind of small furry creature I can pet. The perils of dorm life: no furred animals allowed. I think this video is a powerful incentive to move off campus... tomorrow.

cat games: why sushi cat is the best way to waste your time on the internet

Sushi cat is a fun, free, interactive Japanese flash game featuring a roly-poly cat on his way to meet his kitty love. You advance to the next level by eating the biggest number of sushi pieces. With each sushi, your cat grows bigger and bouncier. It is kind of like playing pinball but with California rolls and kittens and Asian music. I have wasted a lot of time playing sushi cat because it is silly, mindless and adorable. I don't really like video games for the most part, but I do like pictionary, word games, and especially games involving fat cats which require no skill with a mouse pad whatsoever. The one problem with sushi cat: it always makes me hungry. Time to break out the chopsticks.

cats in sweaters

I am a cat person. And yes, I greatly enjoy scrolling through pictures like these. But unfortunately for crazy cat ladies the world over, cats do not like wearing sweaters. It is a sad truth. Some of the cats are bored, disaffected, unconcerned with their newly acquired turtlenecks, but the rest are seriously peeved. Actually angry cat expressions paired with wool knits are hilarious. When I was ten I decided to craft a Halloween costume for my cat out of red felt and cardboard. She was to be dressed as a Devil-Cat, greeting the trick-or-treaters with a flick of her forked felt tail. She wore the horns and the cape for most of the night before finding a way to dislodge them. Unsurprising, given her quest to lose every collar we attempted to fasten around her neck, usually burying them under the pine tree in the back yard. We cat people love the idea of feline companion as furry doll. There's just something about a cat in a cardigan. Am I right? Also--that rasta cat? Speaking of cute things that I can't have, micro-pigs named Clive. Notice his red Wellington boots. I guess you have to be Paris Hilton to procure a micro-pig, but perhaps they are commercially available in the UK. If I get to go abroad next year, I will investigate. Finally, cardboard love and a helpful instructional video.
