I usually show a picture of my cat Biscuit at the beginning of a cat post, but I’ll spare you this time. This kitten belongs to Carl at Simply Left Behind. Isn’t he precious? But look at those feet! Thumbper has six toes on one front paw, and seven on the other. I don’t know about his back feet. He is a polydactyl cat, in the tradition of Ernest Hemingway, who had a six-toed cat whose descendents still live at the estate. Take a look at some more polydactyl cats.

Irish Drinking Songs for Cats. Famous drinking songs with new lyrics for cat-lovers, including the one below. (via Arbroath)

I'll tell my cat when I come home,
"Leave the furniture alone."
She tore my sheets and shred my couch.
I'm tired of coming home a grouch.

--chorus--
But she is loving. She is pretty.
And I am so whipped by my kitty.
Her claws catch my sleeve, rips 1, 2, 3
Please won't you leave the curtains be.

I tell her each morning that I love her.
But my shoes need laces so please don't chew 'em.
She mews real sweet then knocks over a candle
Now she's gnawing on my sandles.

Out of the bathroom she struts quite bold,
A roll of toilet paper clung to her toe.
I really wonder if I will kill her
When her mouth has feathers from my pillow.

Let the thunder storms crash all night long
She'll be too scared to rend my thong.
She may be shivering from fright,
But at least this weekend I'll have my tights.

I bought her a scratch post of her own.
So she'll leave my living room alone.
But I come home to see only fluff and filling
If she hadn't just meowed, there'd be a killin'.

--chorus--
--last chorus--
She is loving. She is pretty.
And I am so whipped by my kitty.
Her claws catch my sleeve, rips 1, 2, 3
I never liked those curtains anyway.

The Difference between Dogs and Cats

A dog thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me...
They must be Gods!

A cat thinks: Hey, these people I live with feed me, love me, provide me with a nice warm, dry house, pet me, and take good care of me...
I must be a God!

Cat News, news by and for cats. NSFW audio. (Thanks, Bill!)

You’ve heard stories about cats who fall from great heights and survive. The highest recorded fall for a surviving cat was 45 stories! How do they do it? Its a combination of factors, including the cat’s ability to land in its feet, a decrease in drag, and relaxation. Relaxation? Together, it’s called High-Rise Syndrome.

Ten Things A Cat Thinks About

1. I could have sworn I heard the can opener.

2. Is there something I'm not getting when humans make noise with their mouths?

3. Why doesn't the government do something about dogs?

4. I wonder if Morris really liked 9-Lives, or did he have an ulterior motive?

5. Hmmm ... If dogs serve humans, and humans serve cats, why can't we cats ever get these stupid dogs to do anything for us?

6. This looks like a good spot for a nap.

7. Hey, no kidding, I'm sure that's the can opener.

8. Would humans have built a vast and complex civilization of their own if we cats handn't given them a reason to invent sofas and can openers in the first place?

9. If there's a God, how can He allow neutering/spaying?

10. If that really was the can opener, I'll play finicky just to let them know who's boss!

The Psalm of Nine Lives - A Prayer to My Cat
(lifted from konagod)

My cat is my Shepherd;
I shall not be able to sit without first seeing to His needs.
He maketh me to keep His bowl full.
He leadeth me to turn on the running water.

He restoreth my soul.
He standeth in the path of my run to the phone,
tripping me to the floor for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of
His morning offerings on the carpet,
I will never be lonely, For He is with me.

Thy purr and Thy sweet face,
They comfort me.

Thou walketh across the desk before me
in the presence of reports and paperwork.
Thou annointest my head with Thy tongue,
My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and love shall follow me
to the kitchen all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of my Cat.

Thought for today: Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.
