Chosey Cat Burglar Choses Panther Toy

Frankie the cat has been stealing soft toys in Swindon for the past year.

“They're all soft toys for cats I think, although I could be wrong. About 15 of them are all the same leopard,” the owner says, "and he's quite pleased with himself -he lets out a big meow upon returning." 

Don't let your cat watch this video:

Call of the Wild: Transient Feline Squatters Move In

Honey! Come meet the new neighbors!!



Did you ever wonder what happened to all those homes that were becoming increasingly abandoned due to foreclosures? Wonder no more. Since Ted and Jane moved out, the wild have moved in. They've found a food and water source: the koi pond in the back yard plus a spacious and elegant place to raise their kittens.

These cats have taste!

More on the story at the LATimes.

Hurricane Preparedness

We've just bought a 3rd crate to house all 3 of our cats separately should disaster strike.

Please take the time to review your emergency supplies for your pets -keep at least one week supply of food, water, and medicine for your family members. Also, pick up a few of the microfiber towels to wick away moisture from your pet, otherwise she may go into shock from over exposure.

Also, the Humane Society of the US has a special update video featuring the director during these tumultuous times.

Bacchus & the Peacock Feather

Finally figured out that my video was private. So I published it today to add a little levity in your life.

On occasion, we'll see him spin so fast that he bonks into chairs, doors, and walls. Once in awhile, we'll hear those collisions thru-out the night, too. Hilarious.

Enjoy!

The Pet Doctor Will Take Your Questions

Our local station: WRAL TV has a feature called 'Ask Anything' on their Web site allowing us civilians to ask questions of professionals. This week, it happens to be a local veterinarian.

Check to see if your local station has the same feature.

I wondered if there's a chance she'd address why Bacchus doesn't do the dishes when told?

Leopard vs Crocodile

First, I am not a fan of the Darwin scenes -ever! But, we found this astonishing event: a leopard attacking and killing a crocodile as photographed by Hal Brindley - it's simply incredible.

Nothing too gory which my eyes cannot handle.


While viewing, Chardonnay took notes as he wrestled a small mouse in honor my birthday last month. "I" had to rescue the mouse and return it to the wild.
