Who knew Texas was home to so many men who love cats? These cuties are Jamie and Sally May (I think it’s obvious who is who). According to Roxy, Jamie’s fiance, Sally May likes to sleep with her head tucked into Jamie’s or Roxy’s chin. Adorable!
Today’s featured man and cat is Mike and Poozy – or rather, a represenation of Poozy. Mike, the man behind the Infinite Cat project, says “My girlfiend of lo these many years created, for my birthday, a textile-art version of a photograph I took of my cat, Poozy, playing ‘dress-up’ (see http://infinitecat.com/extras/poozy-do.html). I entered the art at the Texas State Fair and it won a blue ribbon. So the picture I’m sending you is of me at the fair in front of the winning artwork. As Poozy, in real life, is a just a black ball of fluff – this is about the best picture you’ll get of her anyway.”
Nice work! Menandcats.com agrees that it deserved the blue ribbon indeed.
NEW YORK (AP) _ A champion cat was not exactly gracious about his win: He bolted for 14 hours.
Evgeny Plushenko, named after the Olympic gold medal-winning Russian figure skater, jumped from a judge’s arms after being named best of its breed at the Cat Fanciers’ Association Cat annual show. He beat out 200 other felines at the Madison Square Garden event on Sunday. The “Best in Show” Russian Blue with emerald eyes was found Monday, after 14 hours, huddled in a carpenter’s room.
OK, sorry for the lame pun. But here’s another one, featuring my pals Howard and Meridian.
The woman upstairs found two cats who were taped up in a box near our place in Brooklyn. One of the cats has cancer – she’s keeping that one. The other one is reportedly 20 pounds and very cute and needs a home (the woman already has one other cat and a very neurotic dog). So, if anyone wants to adopt a cat, drop me a line.
