Princess only gets more cat-nutty as she gets older. She has such a loving heart that she spends her allowance on cat toys and cat treats. The cats are just as happy without them. They have quilted cat beds, but sleep in a box, or in bed with the kids at night. They have more combs and brushes than I do. But they are not only spoiled materially; they also get more than their share of cuddling and petting and catering. Gothgrrl is overly competitive, so she is working to pay more loving attention to  Gogo than Princess pays to Biscuit. What we’ve ended up with are the two most spoiled cats in town. Maybe the whole world!

VINDALOO

(via Phil’s Phun)
Gavin was walking along the High Street of his shire when a right English rain began to tumble down. Ducked he himself into a pub, whereupon friends he met, quaffed a number of pints, and then a few more, and began the long slow stagger home in the midnight hour.

Meandering in the cold, Gavin decided it was time to get himself an Indian curry, so he stepped into the nearest New Dehli Deli take-away and ordered an extra hot vindaloo. Getting home at long last, Gavin put the curry on the kitchen table while and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Now it would come to pass that the house cat closed in on the curry and, hungry and bored, decided to take the temptation to task. Nom nom. Nibble nibble. Chow chow. Lick lick. The vindaloo vanished.

Sure enough, Gavin returned and was shocked to find his felis domesticatus fully immersed, whiskers in the sauce, licking the tin clean.

Gavin grabbed his cat by the scruff of its neck, and carried him out to the trash bin. "You horrible little floor mop. Now you've done it! Good riddance!" he shouted. Filling a trash can with water, he tossed the cat into it and slammed the lid down, keeping it weighted down with bricks.

Returning to his abode, Gavin started to feel very sorry for himself. A few minutes later he heard a knock on the window, and sure enough, when he looked there, he saw his cat.

The cat looked at him and asked,

"You wouldn't happen to have any more water, would you?"

UGLY THE CAT

by Lori (via Fark)
Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love.

The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.

Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby, striped type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, and even his shoulders. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one UGLY cat!!!"

All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction.

If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around your feet in forgiveness. Whenever he spied children, he would come running, meowing frantically and bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him up he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt, earrings, whatever he could find.

One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's dogs. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was laying, it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear him wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.

Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. I pulled him closer to me, and he bumped the palm of my hand with his head, then he turned his one golden eye towards me, and I could hear the distinct sound of purring.

Even in the greatest pain, that ugly battled scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, perhaps some compassion. At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, try to get away from me, or struggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.

Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly.

Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.

Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, beautiful, but for me...

I will always try to be Ugly.

My new kitten Biscuit looks like a full-grown cat in miniature. I think he's about 12-14 weeks old. That would put him on par with a 5-6 year old human boy. In this case, that boy would be Dennis the Menace. If there is a stack of important papers on my desk, he will knock them off one by one. He LOVES grapes... not to eat, but to bat around on the floor like a ball. His preferred food is anything we people are eating, so he gets locked up at mealtimes. He leaps into the refrigerator every time the door is opened, twice getting shut up in it. He has a very loud and incessant maaaaoww. He loves to run across my keyboard and cancel whatever I'm downloading, and he loves to chase that infernal cursor across the screen. But his most cherished entertainment is watching the toilet flush. He is very tolerant of the girls carrying him around, dressing him up, and giving him baths. He has become the master of the ankle ambush. Its fortunate for him he's so CUTE!

25 Laws About Cats (lifted from Wulfweard)

1 - Law of Cat Inertia
A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force - such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

2 - Law of Cat Motion
A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

3 - Law of Cat Magnetism
All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

4 - Law of Cat Thermodynamics
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.

5 - Law of Cat Stretching
A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

6 - Law of Cat Sleeping
All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved as is possible for the cat.

7 - Law of Cat Elongation
A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it.

8 - Law of Cat Acceleration
A cat will accelerate at a constant rate, until he gets good and ready to stop.

9 - Law of Dinner Table Attendance
Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.

10 - Law of Rug Configuration
No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.

11 - Law of Obedience Resistance
A cat's resistance varies in proportion to a human's desire for her to do something.

12 - First Law of Energy Conservation
Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible.

13 - Second Law of Energy Conservation
Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot of napping.

14 - Law of Refrigerator Observation
If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.

15 - Law of Electric Blanket Attraction
Turn on an electric blanket and a cat will jump into bed at the speed of light.

16 - Law of Random Comfort Seeking
A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room.

17 - Law of Bag / Box Occupancy
All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond.

18 - Law of Cat Embarrassment
A cat's irritation rises in direct proportion to her embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.

19 - Law of Milk Consumption
A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can.

20 - Law of Furniture Replacement
A cat's desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture.

21 - Law of Cat Landing
A cat will always land in the softest place possible.

22 - Law of Fluid Displacement
A cat immersed in milk will displace her own volume, minus the amount of milk consumed.

23 - Law of Cat Disinterest
A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him.

24 - Law of Pill Rejection
Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity.

25 - Law of Cat Composition
A cat is composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn't Matter.

While I’m behind on everything for the holidays (swimming upstream to catch up, because the kids are out of school), I may as well post something easy and fun, however dumb it may be. That gives me a few hours to get something really terrific ready for you tomorrow... not that I'll actually get it done, but I've got some plans. Do I get any credit for good intentions?

Anyway, you can’t go wrong crossing two of the internet’s favorite subjects, in this case, cats and Star Wars. Gotta be some fun there! Some of these images were sent to me, some were found at Fark, others here and there. If you have a funny photo, you can add captions with LOLcat Buildr.

Star Wars Cats. I don't quite understand this site, but it’s got some pretty cats!

Yes, there’s a game. I hope you have better luck with it than I did.

Two years later, I finally got Biscuit neutered. It’s sad in a way, since he was such a charmingly macho cat, but it was neccessary. He was spending all his time trying to get outside, and he’s not familiar with automobiles and what they can do. After his procedure and an overnight stay at the clinic, he slept all day (but was back on duty in the bunkbed at bedtime). I explained to Princess that he probably didn’t sleep at the animal clinic because he was scared and thought he’d never come home, and wondering what parts they were going to cut off tomorrow. She said she wished we could have explained it to him ahead of time. No, I don’t think so... tell a guy your going to remove his nads, and he’d be up a tree and you’d never get him down!

CAT TRAINING

(via Phil’s Phun)
Our young daughter had adopted a stray cat.

To my distress,he began to use the back of our new sofa as a scratching post.

"Don't worry," my husband reassured me.

"I'll have him trained in no time."

I watched for several days as my husband patiently"trained" our new pet.

Whenever the cat scratched, my husband deposited him outdoors to teach him a lesson.

The cat learned quickly.

For the next 16 years, whenever hewanted to go outside,

he scratched the back of the sofa.

REVENGE

(Thanks, Rich!)
One December day we found an old straggly cat at our door.  She was a sorry sight, starving, dirty, smelled terrible, skinny, and hair all matted down.  We felt sorry for her so we put her in a carrier and took her to the vet.  We didn't know what to call her so we named her "Pussycat." 

The vet decided to keep her for a day or so.  He said he would let us know when we could come and get her.  My husband (the complainer) said, "OK, but don't forget to wash her, she stinks."  He reminded the vet that it was his WIFE (me) that wanted the dirty cat, not him.

My husband and my Vet don't see eye to eye.  The vet calls my husband 'El-Cheap-O', and my husband and calls the vet 'El-Charge-O'.  They love to hate each other and constantly 'snipe' at one another, with my husband getting in the last word on this particular occasion.

The next day my husband had an appointment with his doctor, who is located in the same building, next door to the vet. 

The MD's waiting room and office was full of people waiting to see the doctor.  A side door opened and the vet leaned in -- he had obviously seen my husband arrive. 

He looked straight at my husband and in a loud voice said, "Your wife's pussy doesn't stink any more.  We washed and shaved it, and now she smells like a rose.  Oh, and, by the way, I think she's pregnant.  God only knows who the father is!" 

Then he closed the door.

Now THAT, my friends, is getting even!
