Humor

This cat video is a really cute one. I was halfway through another one (and had every intention of posting it), but it didn’t pass my STRICT guidelines. I refuse to post a video that shows a situation where the cat is/was in obvious danger, all for the sake of a video. It’s ridiculous.

I don’t like the segments where cats are put in high places so they’ll jump down. Oooooh, how entertaining. I also don’t like when the cat’s being scared just to get a reaction. Not even remotely cool. I saw one clip of a woman who threw a kitten upwards toward a wooden ceiling, so it’d “land” claws-first into the wood.

If she and the photographer don’t have anything better to do than that, they probably shouldn’t be proving it to the world.

It’s also not cool to tempt a cat to jump toward a ceiling fan… I mean, come on, are these people even thinking?! Cats are funny enough little characters on their own - they don’t need directors.

Especially if the director isn’t taking their safety into account.

Okay, rant over.

My cat is not an attention hog… she’s taking the attention off of my flaws.

My cat does not tear up paper… she’s recycling.

My cat does not break things … she’s a science geek and it conducting experiments with gravity.

My cat does not fear dogs … he is merely selective of the company he keeps.

My cat is not a glutton… she simply appreciates the culinary efforts made on her behalf.

My cat does not scratch … he is a furniture ventilator. He happens to also specialize in ventilating wood frames, paneling, carpet, window frames…

My cat does not catterwaul … she is singing off-key. Intentionally.

My cat does not hog the spot on the couch… he’s keeping it warm for us.

My cat is not a Chatty Kathy…. she’s so full of wit and wisdom, she can’t control it all.

My cat is not finicky… he’s particular.

My cat is not a pest … she’s a selfless entertainer.

My cat is not a heartless hunter … he is a wildlife control expert.

My cat is not mean… she’s practicing for the role as Batman’s next villain.

My cat is not fat … she is insulated.

My cat is not lazy … she is conserving her energy.

My cat does not get underfoot … he’s protective. He’s making sure I arrive safely at his food dish.

My cat is not always in the way… she’s always there for us.

Obviously, someone who’s familiar with Alexa, Prissy, Svenn, and Bo used them as inspirations to create a bumper sticker. You’d think they’d at least send me one free, right?

The Cats running wild! Bumper Sticker lets the world know you love cats and gives them something to smile about at the same time.

You gotta love that!

Alexa hates for me to use the word “precious” on this blog.  She has an image to maintain and says that the name, frankly, lessens her position in the animal kingdom.  I’m afraid I have to break the rules this time, though - I mean come on!!

I can’t imagine anyone looking at the art print above and not smiling with every muscle in their face. But I do know one thing, if the person exists, I hope to never meet them - they’d be the sourest almost human alive!

Now to face Alexa’s wrath… She has an rss feed for this blog, of course, so I’m about 3 minutes away from a cold front.

I got an e-mail featuring these colorful cuties and knew I had to share them with you.  If these don’t put a smile on your face, your smile muscles are impotent.
