Back in January, Menandcats.com featured Sean with his brand-new kitties, Kumi and Aiko. Look at this latest picture of Sean with Kumi – check out how big the little kitty is now at 7 months old! Sean’s girlfriend/Kumi and Aiko’s cat-mom, Mikka, reports: “Kumi is madly in love with Sean – they’re inseparable and she follows him everywhere.”
Menandcats.com has totally got a thing for orange tabby cats. Oh, how I love them. If I didn’t already have the belly-licking tiger tabby and his brother, the black-and-white menace (who, the other day, was sitting by himself in the bathtub meowing for no apparent reason) I would adopt an orange tabby ASAP!
Anyhow, my lovely and talented friend Rashmi took this great photo of her friend Konrad and feline pal Marlon, although Konrad is not actually Marlon’s “animal manager” any longer. Konrad’s girlfriend (sorry, ladies!) Kim accompanied a friend to the animal shelter recently, where Kim saw Marlon and fell in love (how could she not!?) Even though Kim and Konrad already had a cat, Ingmar, she couldn’t resist bringing Marlon home. Konrad became really attached to Marlon. But alas, Ingmar was none too pleased. He stopped eating and became frail and weak. So Kim and Konrad sadly gave Marlon to a friend. They miss him and hope to visit him next time they’re in Connecticut. Well, Ingmar, you win this time! There is just no arguing with a cat when he insists on getting his way.
Whew, after a little domain hiccup, menandcats.com is back.
Check out this Gawker post about a man who loved cats who sadly died while swerving to avoid a cat. From his NY Times obituary: “Dr. James R. Richards, a prominent veterinarian who was a recognized authority on cat care, died on Tuesday in Johnson City, N.Y. He was 58 and lived in Dryden, N.Y. Dr. Richards died of injuries he sustained in a motorcycle accident on Sunday. According to Sgt. Kelly Daley of the New York State Police, he was thrown from his motorcycle after he tried without success to avoid hitting a cat that had run into the road.” It sounded like this man really loved cats – he was the director of the Feline Health Center of the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, he wrote a book on cats, lectured about cats, and of course, he was the “animal manager” of a cat himself. And his cat has the cutest name ever: Dr. Mew.
Dr. Richards is the official Cat-Loving Man of the week. Menandcats.com salutes him for all he has done for the feline kingdom.
I have to give a big shout-out to Rich from the blog Four-Four, who wrote this incredibly sweet entry about his love for, and life with, his special cat, Winston.
Rich, you are officially the Cat-Loving Man of the Week at menandcats.com.
