{ Those Cats Are Hot }

I love these kittens with all that leg. HA! this was too fun not to share / archive. Cats wearing tights is now something I think I might just have to try on my own kitties... They might hate me for it, but if I get some pics it'll be worth it. {via}

{ Apparently Artists and Cats have a Bond }

While I'm no stranger to the benefits of having some great kitties. It's always nice to find others (artists I admire no less!) who share the same love for felines as me. Similar to the Freddie Mercury article, I'm in love with Dali and his beautiful Ocelot, and Warhol and his 25 kittens all named Sam.


The elusive, self-sustaining nature of the cat finds its human reflection best in the personality of the artist - as they often seek inspiration from their feline companions. similar to ancient egyptian culture - in the sense that they revered cats as borderline deities - cat domestication owed to the clear depictions of house cats in paintings from over 3,600 years ago. being viewed as both an object
of worship and an adored pet, the animals frequently were adorned with jeweled necklaces and gold earrings.{via}

{ This Past Caturday }

I found this video and had to share! It's almost as good as that awesome Vitalic dog one, Poney Pt. 1, from years back, remember? But I promise this is the last cat video for a few days, I feel like I'm goin cat crazy lately... but maybe that just means it's time for a new kitten... what do ya think Loon?

{ This is turning out to be one cat filled blog }

Alright, I know the cat thing is getting a little out of control, but who can blame me? I feel like I've only posted the best of the best... ya know, the stuff you'd want to come back to for an, awwwww or half heart filled chuckle. Needless to say, Cats in Space is all that and a bag of chips! Enjoy!

Thanks to Cameron Sinclair (you know you know him as the founder of Architecture of Humanity) for this INCREDIBLE architecture over run with cats tumbler link! YAY for kitties + photoshop at it's finest! Enjoy! {via}

{ Eye Candy: Cats + Classic Works of Art }

Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus

Who doesn't love a good classic work of art? Now infuse it with kitties (or one very cuddly looking orange cat) and I'm lovin' it! Great Artists' Mews does just that and very pompously too... check out this exert: Our name is Zarathustra. We are a cat. According to our assistant (named by ignoramuses as our “owner”) We are the best cat in the world. By the will of the gods, We have been relieved of our animal desires, therefore Our postprandial time  is given to the reflections on lofty matters. We are so gracious in Our enjoyment of repasts. And We are also very very fond of Art. {via}

{ Kittens! }

{ Paula Deen + Kitten Mittens }

Apparently this is all the rage, Paula Deen riding some humorous object / person / animal / whatever you can think of. I adore Charlie and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia so I had to share this lil' chuckle.

{ Infographic of the Day: Kitties }

Jennifer (who is always awesome at posting great gtalk stats) posted this earlier in the week. I think I've already spent way too much time tryin to figure out what my kitties fall under. Enjoy! {via}

{ Freddie Mercury: my first idol }

From as early on as I could remember I LOVED Freddie Mercury. I remember thinking he was sooo cool, almost super hero like in his videos. I even remember being bummed out about the AIDS announcement, only to be even more bummed when he died the next day. I know I didn't understand all his theatrics or his true brillance as an artist, but that has come with time and age.

This morning I did hear exciting news that conjured up these adolesent memories. Sacha Baron Cohen (yes, Borat) will be playing Freddie Mercury in a film written by Peter Morgan (the guy who wrote Frost Nixen, the Queen, and the Last King of Scotland). So far Brian May (who I have always considered to be one of the best and under rated guitarist of all time) and Roger Taylor have been working with the film's producers. There were once rumors that Johnny Depp would play this role.. But I really think Sacha could pull it off. I mean he's sung before (remember Sweeny Todd... also with Depp) but I think Sacha has it, other than the resemblences, the flamboyance that was Freddie. {via}

And as if I didn't need another reason to love Freddie, apparently he was a HUGE cat person. Dedicating on of his solo albums to four of his cats. He would even go so far as to call home while on tour to chat with the cats... and we all know how ridiculous long distance used to be! {via}

{ Crazy Ol' Cat Man }

This elderly gentlemen used to hate cats until his son left behind his cat, Pepper (who was secretly preggers). Now Craig (the cat man) lives on a wildlife reserve wit 660 cats! what a life! But unfortunately costly, "The expenses for the nonprofit sanctuary, Caboodles, come out of Craig's pocket and donations from the public. Each cat costs about $550 a year to tend to, and that is without extraneous vet bills. All the cats are spayed or neutered, and their shots are kept up to date." Thanks Beth for this great article! and be sure to friend 'em on FB ... if you like cats! {via}

{ well obviously my cat needs to tweet }

I guess the header sums this up! lol!
Sony Computer Science Laboratories has created a device that detects cats' activities and Tweets them. Using a camera, an acceleration sensor, and GPS, it keeps track of the cats movements, tracking basic activities like eating, sleeping, walking, and playing with other cats. It then sends one of 11 set text messages via bluetooth to a computer and posts it to the cat's Twitter feed. {via}

{ I think I need an Ipad }

So shredder can have as much fun as this lil' kitty... Thanks for the gtalk link Jennifer!

{ Ohhh and how could I forget! }

Happy Easter! I'm not religious by all means, but Easter is still a great excuse for family, friends, and great food! (so count me in!) I hope you'all have a great Easter!

Poor Kitty...

Forget it Keyboard Cat!

Thanks Gavin for this cheerful keyboard cat!!!

Best Documentary Ever!!!

I stumbled upon this documentary a few weeks ago, and it has been haunting me since. The waste land of today's Chernobyl is now over run with wildlife, and at the heart of this documentary, the viewer follows a family of domestic house cats around the abandoned town. My sleuthing this morning did help me discover the name of the documentary, Chernobyl: Life in the Dead Zone. I highly recommend it and you can catch it on You Tube: part 1 . part2 . part3 . part4 . part5. 'Cause I know all you guys are as big an internet watcher as me!

This Might be the Best Post Ever!

Thanks to 2PzNaPpod for this great video find! For those of you who don't know its the best damn blog out there, but this vid. has had me and my office crackin' up all day!
check it!
