Merry Christmas to all

Hi, everyone.  Just want to tell everyone Merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you might be celebrating, I guess).

This first video is a classic version of White Christmas, sung by The Drifters, with animation by Joshua Held.  One of our long time favorites.

Next up, a copy of the Jingle Cats version of White Christmas.  This is a cat blog, after all.

I hope most of you have the connection speed and time to watch them.

Billy White Shoes is still hanging in there.  I let him out of his cage most of the day when I am around to keep an eye on him.  He stays more or less calm most of the time, and when he starts running and jumping around, I put him back in the cage.  He's kind of figured out the connection, and tends to limit his jumping and climbing.

And Now For Something Completely Different

If you are familiar with cyriak, you pretty much already know what this is going to look like.

If you aren't, trying to describe this video is pretty much pointless.

Enjoy.  Maybe.

If you are having trouble viewing this video, try linking to it directly on youTube here.

A NEW Simon's Cat video.

Enough said.

Enjoy.

Hi everyone. Something we found this morning, and thought you all might find interesting.

Oscar was a black kittie happily living on a farm, until he had a accident with a combine.

Now he is still running around, but he has titanium back legs.

So far, he seems to be doing well.

More information is available here, and probably a lot more places. If you are somewhere close to England, you may be able to see Oscar on a TV show called The Bionic Vet. It starts on Wednesday June 30, although you will have to track down what channel.

The Internet is Made of Cats

Hey, all. Allie here with just a quick note.

If you believe the folks at Rathergood, the entire Internet is made out of cats. You all might have knows that already, but it was news to me.

Check this out if you don't believe me:

Smudge Saturday

hmmmm . . . It seems our interlopers have been sneaking onto our blog when no one is watching. We'll have to deal with that later. For the moment, we want to do a post for Smudge and his beans.


Radcliff here.

We never really knew Smudge very well, but we were watching and purrrring for him during his battle with this ugly parasite. We're hoping Zoe and their beans are feeling a little better, and are thinking about Smudge's life, and not his end.

We saw this video on zazamataz, and we thought it said what needed said much better than we ever could. (even if it IS about a woofer!)



for those of you who don't want to wait for the video to download, you can read the entire poem at "Beau". The last few lines are

He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.

And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.

And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.

Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.

Jingle Bells

A thoughtful commentary appropriate for a few days before Christmas.

(my first attempt at posting a YouTube video. We'll just have to see how things work.)

UPDATE: It turns out musaeri has a longer version of this video as well, at around three minutes. We just thought you might be interested in knowing about that.
