new year, more cats

I’m pretty satisfied with who I’ll be kissing at midnight tonight, but a teeny part of me still wishes there were someone fluffy to kiss as well (though not on the lips. i’m not some cat perv.) Losing Rainbow (who died) and Jack (who stayed with my ex) this year has been rough.

Here’s hoping I meet some new cats to love in 2010! One of my resolutions is to volunteer in a cat-related capacity (the other ones: get a driver’s license, write more, use more hand lotion), so there’s a good possibility I will.

cat calendars 2010!

Now that it’s almost the new year, I’ve realized that what I need most in life right now is a cat calendar. But which one???

I know some people might disagree, but I think that cat is more creepy than cute.

I am not interested in learning from this psycho cat.

These cats and I might have different standards of cool.

animal abuse.

don’t be fooled–this is not an awesome calendar of cats with jobs.

Finding a good cat calendar is harder than I thought . . .

To continue with last week’s theme of cats being dicks, here is an awesome video of a cat showing a dog what’s what:

six reasons why cats are dicks

I love cats more than anything, and I still loved this list of six adorable cat behaviors with shockingly evil explanations.

more useless cat-related products

There’s no denying that fingerless gloves can be useful for those days when the office is just too cold. There’s also no denying that it’d be nice if those gloves were heated. But this might be going too far.

Just plug them into your computer via USB, and your hands will be warmer than they’ve ever been before. But is it just me, or do these seem absolutely impossible to type in? I guess for some people actual work takes a backseat to looking cute.

cat killer update

You might remember Cheyenne Cherry.

She decided to mess with a former friend by stuffing that friend’s cat in an oven and killing her.

Now Cheyenne has finally been sentenced. Two years in jail. Not owning a pet for three years. Somehow, this doesn’t seem harsh enough. I’m okay with that amount of jail time, I suppose, but not owning a pet for three years? How about forever? What’s going to happen in the next three years that would make this girl worthy of having an animal in her life?

fat cat

This is Higgins.

Higgins likes to steal food. Higgins was “bigger than a dog” when he first arrived at the shelter in Cambridgeshire, England that he currently calls home. Higgins is “competitive over food.” Higgins is “obsessed with food.”

I’m kind of obsessed with Higgins.

little hairless wonders

I really wanted to be snarky about this article about sphinx cats being used as therapy cats. After all, it does contain the quote “Terry True says holding Jak is like holding ‘a suede hot-water bottle.’” Which is quite disgusting.

But then I read that Jak, the cat in the article, got his start visiting children with leukemia, showing them that hairlessness can still be beautiful. Damn you, sphinx therapy cat! You’re just doing too much good, and I can’t make fun of you.
