Kitty Blogging
Our cats have kept me very nice company so far; they do seem to have an instinct for when to comfort human companions who are feeling under the weather, and of course
the health benefits of pet ownership have been known for quite some time. So in honor of my feline friends, some kitty goodness:
Every Friday is, of course, Cat Blogging at Calpundit, where last Friday Kevin Drum gave us three wonderful links and pictures of two beautiful kitties belonging to CalMom!
Also last Friday, Emma related the story of the cat that's come to be called Lost-and-Found.
Everyone please send best wishes to Peter David and family on the swift recovery of their kitty Pandora, who apparently had an adventure.
Does anyone have a link for Joel Veitch's VH1 kitty work? It doesn't look like he's updated his site since March (a contract with a cable network will do that to one, I guess), and as much as I love the Viking Kittens (and really, who doesn't?) I'm itching for new web stuff. I suppose Mata's Mittens the cute kitty (via Bean at Alas, A Blog) will have to do in the meantime, particularly when discussing politics with Snowdrop, who apparently has a drinking problem and is extremely gullible. Mittens has even been on safari (side-splitting even with what I went through today), but I still think he's no match for Kitty Cop.
One of the neat things about visiting Tiger Mountain at the Bronx Zoo yesterday was finding out that the daily scheduled "enrichment sessions" are voluntary - i.e., zoo personnel don't make the cats come play or eat. If they're feeling hungry or playful, fine; otherwise they just lay around and sun or digest (sometimes in the summer they only eat every few days; wish my cats did that!), which is of course what they did yesterday. (By the way, Lisa English - link at sidebar - has a great suggestion in yesterday's comment section, that NYC-area bloggers converge on the Bronx Zoo during their "winter wonderland of lights" this coming December holiday season. Anyone want to suggest that to The Week or NYCBloggers? Update: Julia, you will be included in this, I promise!)
Well, I'd best go, Datsa (who, doubtless in solidarity, has just lost the last of his four canine feline incisors) is meowing for attention, and I really should lie down and let the Tylenol work already...
