I just set my DVR to record the new TV show “Must Love Cats” which is starting this Saturday on Animal Planet. I haven’t even seen the show yet, but based on the website for the show and this interview with host John Fulton, I already have a major crush on him. A super-cute musician who loves cats?! I can’t wait to see this show!
UPDATE: I have seen the show and LOVE it!! My new favorite tv show.
Dear Charley and Thurston,
It’s your eleventh birthday, and your cat-mom is preparing to become mom to a human being for the first time. Your cat-dad and I are sure that our son will be a cat lover, since both of us love cats so much – and I think he can hear and feel you purring when you’re using my bump as a pillow. We have no doubt that you will love your new “brother” since you are both such sweet and gentle cats. Thurston, you’re my “cat-dog” who greets people at the door, fetches (fake mice), and sleeps right next to me every single night. You already accept kisses on the nose from our nephew and love every person you’ve ever met. Charley, we know when there is too much human activity you’ll go find a secret hiding spot and take a nap like you usually do when there are too many humans around. You guys have never bitten, scratched, or so much as hissed at a human being. And why should you? You’re both totally pampered and content, and you get along so well with each other, having never been apart since you were born. So although we’re all in for some big changes pretty soon, we know you’ll do great.
Love,
Your cat-mom
This video from the band Holy F*&% is full of cats! It is awesome. I am guessing the guys in this band must be cat-lovers. If there is one way to get me to listen to a band’s music, it’s to make a video full of cats! Something like 40 million households in the U.S. have cats, so maybe this is a sound strategy to reach lots of new listeners.
I don’t know what is about people who love cats and people who love knitting, but those two groups intersect quite a bit (I certainly count myself among the cat- and knitting-obsessed). So of course I love this ad for Purina, featured on the Craft blog, that shows cats going bananas with balls of yarn.
Further proof of cats loving yarn: My own felines with my wooly stash.
I always say that I have a mental cat-map of all the stores in my neighborhood that have cats. So, I decided to take my mental map for a particularly fertile (cat-wise, at least) stretch of the area and make it into… an actual cat-map.
If you know of any other local stores in NYC that have cats, shoot me an e-mail and I’ll expand the map or possibly map other neighborhoods… or you can make your own cat-map of your favorite local haunts that have feline friends to greet their customers!
