Friday Cat Blogging

Sometimes, all you can do is lie on your back and air out your privates.

Many of you have seen this this week, but in case you haven’t, a new Simon’s Cat cartoon came out:

It seems I’m not the only one who watched this and wondered if the artist has been spying on my apartment, because all of this has happened to me. All. Especially the bit with the cell phone.

Actually, sometimes my cat’s sitting on the cell when it rings. And doesn’t move. It is an odd thing to extract a phone from a cat’s butt like one would an egg from under a chicken. I’ve also found iPods and important papers there. I suppose I should thank her for keeping them warm.

(Thanks to Bill for showing me the link, and Cin for reminding me.)

Supposedly my not having heard of The Mighty Boosh means I’m just not hip and with it, but I got this Youtube link off of BoingBoing earlier this week, and felt I should share:

What’s sad is that I actually picture kittens in my mind when I am struck by flashbacks of traumatic events in my life. No, really. It helps, but I could use a printed copy to make things easier for me: “QUICK! THINK OF KITTENS!” is kind of a vague instruction to give to my brain. Or maybe I could memorize an image, like this:

I’d also like to point out a blog I’ve been enjoying called Miscellany of a Cheshire Cat, with its comic serial Chronicles of Monster Cat. I love how Carla makes fun of her pet by taking photos of him and superimposing thought bubbles of (what we think are) typical cat thoughts of gracious condescension and annoyance. Cat owners will understand.

Happy Friday, peeps.
