Sammy Sleeps Anywhere!

Cats sleep anywhere, any table, any chair. Top of piano, window-ledge, in the middle, on the edge. Open drawer, empty shoe, anybody's lap will do. Fitted in a cardboard box, in the cupboard with your frocks. Anywhere! They don't care! Cats sleep anywhere.
~Eleanor Farjeon (1881 - 1965)

Random Cat Fact #2

Okay, so we all know cats are fast. Really, really fast. Have you ever seen a cat run from a hungry Rottweiler? We can be pretty fast when we want to be. But really, what is the fastest cat? Well, that would be the Egyptian Mau, one of the oldest breeds of cats! The Egyptian Mau (which means "cat" in Egyptian) can reach up to speeds of 30 miles per hour! Now that cat has some scary neighbor dogs! Why is this? Probably because of their long legs, and a unique flap of skin extending from the flank to the back knee, which allows for great agility and large steps. Run, kitty, run!

Random Cat Fact #1

Cats do not see all the colors you humans do. The world around us we see in different shades of grey, black and white. What colors can we see? Shades of blue, purple, and green! As you can see, my blog is green, and I can see it, too! ;D Also, I sleep in a green chair, and green bean-bag chairs. The couch downstairs is green, and all the walls in my human-editor's room are green! It's like the whole house is cat-oriented or something!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day - the day of romance! Get out those roses and boxes of chocolates! Whether you find your fancy in romantic dinners for two, a stroll around the park, stargazing, or maybe a big, social party with lots of cats (or humans), Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate! This is my Valentine's Card to you! Have a great day!

Your Sweety,

Sammy.

Bright and Early!

I believed this morning, as I was feeling very loving and social, that it was my glorious duty to wake up all my humans with the wonderful sound of my musical meow. But for some reason unknown, they didn't quite appreciate this. In fact, my editor-human dared to call me a spoiled brat and a loudmouth! ....
I just meowed at the garage door a lot, then my big-tom-cat-human (he is the alpha-male of the humans) let me in the house. He pet me and filled up my food, but I didn't really want this; I still had work to do! So I went up to my queen-human's door and meowed and meowed, but nothing happened. So I went to my human-kit's room, but nothing happened. The nerve! Finally, my human-editor let me into her domain after a bunch of meowing. She told me I was wet, and pet me, and then she told me to go out again and stuff.
The story is longer, but in the end, everybody wakes up. Haha. The end!

Shedding is NOT a Problem!!

My humans think my shedding is a problem. Well, DUH, of course it's not!! It's purrfectly NATURAL! They put sheets and blankets over all of my chairs so I wouldn't "ruin" them, but the chairs are fine! *rolls eyes* Why won't humans put up with anything? *sigh*

Party4Paws

Another great site I found! (Well, my human did, but come on.... who has the blog, here?) My human was looking for a dog-friendly frosting recipe, just for fun -- you know. But what she found was a whole SITE dedicated to parties for doggies! (Hey, they oughta make a page about parties for cats, too ;) ) Anyways, www.party4paws.com has recipes for doggie cupcakes, frosting, party ideas and more! Check it out!

FreeKibble? Is it truly possible?

I just discovered http://www.freekibble.com/ and http://www.freekibblekat.com/ and boy do I love them! Go on each day to answer one trivia question about cats and dogs, and each time you answer, right or wrong, you donate 10 pieces of kibble to a dog or cat in need in a shelter. I also found out they are supporting some kennels in Washington, so please, go on and answer the trivia to help pets in need! And I encourage you to tell your friends, too! Together we can make a difference!

A Kitten's Creed

Here is a look into the world of cat's:

Every housecat, when just a young kitten, must memorize and recite this solemn oath, aptly named, "The Kitten's Creed". Here I will recite it:

"I promise to...
Meow loudly at night to make sure you stay awake in case burglars come...
Scratch only the nicest furniture - my claws deserve the best...
Go to the bathroom behind the couch where you don't have to worry about it...
Practice my climbing skills on the draperies, just in case I need to know how...
Lap my milk sloppily - the fun way...
Have the most fun possible, doing whatever is the most fun...
Shed my fur all over, so you know that I am always there...
Play with my food...
Help staple your important papers with my teeth...
Hiss at every dog, vaccum cleaner, and toddler that may harm me...
Wake you up early to feed me...
...Comfort you when you are sad...
...Snuggle with you in bed...
...Protect you the best I can...
...Love you till the day I die...and after..."

So, if you ever bring home a new kitten, and they are meowing the whole way in their crate in the back of the car, just know that they are loudly reciting this over and over again, just to let you know that they will stay true to this honorable creed.
