Humans and cats! What a marvelous combination. Who'da thunk that table manners are important? Obviously this lady has strict rules for tabby at the table!

Optical Illusion? A Very Long Cat?

I have heard the expression "Git along, little doggie", but never anything of the kind in connection with kitties.

Either this is the longest Abyssinian ever to exist, or our eyes are being deceived.

What do you think?

This Kitty is On The Ball!

This cat sure is on the ball, don't you think? I wonder which league this Harlem Globe Trotter is getting ready to try out for. Purrsonally I think the cat heard the word " basket", and jumped to a wrong conclusion!

What do y'all think? Let us know!

Adorable Kitten Photo: Supply the Caption!

Sometimes I receive photos in my email that just get me smiling ear-to-ear.

Even if they are pictures which have been circulating on the 'net widely, those that I think are top notch "knead" to be included on my blog so folks can have an opportunity to "ewww and awwwww" to their heart's content.

This litte girl's pose was so adorable I felt compelled to share it, and also to ask my readers to give her a caption. What do you think she is trying to say?

Leave a comment with your caption and let's have some fun!

Silent Sunday On Frequently Feline: Bengal Bath Time

Mithril, the Bengal cat tests the waters and finds them to his liking. He's anF2 Bengal male. Dash to the splash and watch ladyjeshra's fun video.



This debunks the old-wive's-tale that cats don't like water, don't you agree?

The Cat Tower: A Fabulous Feline Film

I really think that there should be an Oscar awarded for the most creative cat video.

"The Cat Tower," a mini-movie produced and directed by thecatdiaries, made my morning a lot brighter. I am sure that this one would certainly be in contention for the prestigious win.

When I run across an amazing cat video, my first reaction is to share it with other felineophiles. This high action adventure is filled with humor, drama and tension inspired by an obvious passion for cats.

So please put your feet up on your desk, grab that cup of coffee or other favorite beverage and spend a few minutes in delight. I give it a four-paws up.



Now wasn't that a worthwhile way to spend some serious feline oriented moments? Leave a comment once you stop saying "awwwww."

Meowsy Monday Morning!

Since yesterday's Silent Sunday on Frequently Feline was NOT so silent, I thought I would back track and post a charming photo to ring in the new week.

Kitten Caption Needed

 

Occasionally I am sent  a photograph that is so adorable that I feel compelled to share it on my blog. Sent in by DBDustbuny, this one put a huge smile on my face this morning.

Of course being "caption" oriented, I thought it would be be fun to ask my readers to comment with a caption about what this little kitten might be saying.

What do you think? Leave a comment and give us all a chuckle.

Silent Sunday: Do You Speak Feline?

 
Hush Puppy and Trouble discover a Cat instruction guide. 

Cats frequently chatter between themselves about intriguing objects. I often am curious about their thoughts and opinions. It just takes a lot of patience and intuitive skills to translate a feline discussion.

Obviously these two kitties in the video below, are involved in a major discussion about something that has caught their eye. TheCatsPyjaaaamas gives us the  purrfect opportunity to eaves drop on a serious conversation between two cats.

We are all  very interested in your translation of the conversation between these two "chatty cats". Leave a comment and share with us.

Internet Play: The Feline Way

Hush Puppy, our lilac point Oriental Shorthair always keeps me busy. His inquisitve nature, while quite entertaining at times, can also cause me a great deal of anxiety.

Whenever I hear unfamiliar sounds in the house, l almost always attribute it to one of Hush Puppy's fascinating antics.

The other morning, after I finished my E Mail,  I forgot to shut my office door. I didn't give it another thought until I settled down to watch TV and have a snack. All of a sudden I became aware of a very familiar computer sound emanating from the office.

Jumping up and running to the office, I caught Mr. Puppy lounging on my laptop keyboard. Each time he moved, a different webpage came into view. He jumped off the keyboard very quickly when he spotted me, making me  sure he was surfing the net in search of "kitty" porn.

I bet he got the idea from watching this little video on YouTube, which had me in stitches. He did not take the time to dump the cache because I found it in his browsing history.

I just hope that he is not planning to form an Internet Pen Pal relationship with this enchanting kitten. I can just imagine what other mischief he will be planning, if he does.

Are your cats attracted to computers and have you caught them in the act of "googling?" Leave a comment to please tell me that I am not alone.

Demando Cats: Do You Have One...or Two?

Cats definitely have their individual methods by which they  disturb our sleep. Frequently impatient imps when their patience has reached critical mass, they can always manage to find a way to have their "kneads" known.

If Hypnus miraculousy grants me the gift of slumbering past my habitual waking time, our cat, Hush Puppy, (above) can discover ways to laugh in his face in total defiance.

His favorite trick is to  continuously and  vigorously pounce upon my top sheet until I begrudgingly succumb to meet his urgent request for me to serve up his breakfast.

They say that a "picture is worth a thousand words". This little video posted on YouTube by simonscat, humorously captures feline frenzy at its finest.

I am sure you will get a giggle out of this one, as you identify with the haggard human subjected to his cat's demands.

"A hungry cat resorts to increasingly desperate measures to wake its sleeping owner."

Do your kitties have a special method to get your attention? What are some of the things that they do that drive you nuts? (Lovingly, of course!) Share with us so that our cats may learn from your experience.

Keeping Kitty Comfy! Meet Butthead.

It has been what seems to be ages since I last posted anything about cats. Based on last week's entries, I might as well have changed the title of my blog to Frequently Equine. Barbaro's birthday week was so important, since he made such a deep impression on me, leaving a huge hole in my heart. But now I am back to business as usual, and feel compelled to return to our wonderful felines, for the moment at least.

My friend Andy is owned by a beautiful white cat (with a touch of gray on the top of his head), who is affectionately referred to as Butthead. Andy described his fur as a "million per square inch and very thick". At the height of the shedding season, she finds it impossible to leave her house without "wearing at least half of him". So in order to help both Butthead (by keeping him cooler), and also to save her from leaving the house wearing an extra layer of fur, she takes out her trusty clipper to give him a shave and a haircut with the help of a friend.

The process takes about 30 minutes. Butthead, a "great cat", often whines and complains while being subjected to his new coif, but never bites or claws. He probably knows by now that he will be a lot more comfy in the long run.

Andy does have to vacuum both herself and her friend when they are finished. I am sure that Butthead is not thrilled with the noisy vacuum monster. But he has heart and is very brave.

 
Butthead was clipped recently. Andy lives in New England where the early spring nights can get quite chilly,temperatures often reaching into the 30s. Since Andy does not want Butthead to catch a cold, she lavishes him with a little sweater to keep him warm.

Andy wrote a little more detail concerning Butthead's beautification, "These photos were taken about 2 months after his last hair cut last year. You can see we didn't do as good of a job. Now we really get closer and do more leaving a Mohawk We concentrate on his feet and a poof on the tip of his tail along with just his face so we don't clip any whiskers. Bailey Butthead Polar Bear is his nickname...Bailey was what he was given, but I call him Butthead, and everyone who meets him calls him Polar Bear due to his size. Butthead is around 8 years old now and is strictly an indoor cat."

 
I just love the way cat "servants"  go out of their way to take care of their kitties. It is a testament to the strong love and bond that develops and grows as our relationship with them deepens.

Is Your Cat Multi-Lingual? If so, Services Needed!

As a fun "hobby" I have been participating in the cat's community on Yahoo Answers. It's quite habit forming, but a lot of fun. The other day I ran across a question and answer that just had me rolling on the floor, laughing out loud. I had to share the question and answer with friends, who also found themselves having a good belly laugh, so I thought I would share them on the blog this morning.

The questioner may be referring to a Russian Blue cat.

"I bought a cat from Russia and now I am having a communication problem. I guess it only speaks Russian because whenever I ask it if its hungry it doesn't reply. I asked my other cats to talk to it but they don't know Russian either. Does anybody know where I can find local Russian cat translators? I don't know what this cat needs and the language barrier is putting distress throughout my family of cats.

I am a 23 year old dude with a cat family and nobody seems to take this problem seriously. This language barrier is causing turmoil within my kitty family."

And the response by a very clever and resourceful Yahoo Answer cat lover.

"The Department of Homeland Security has cats from all over the world in place to help in situations such as yours. Because terrorists can look like anything or anybody, they and the Immigration and Naturalization Dept must be ready with Translator Cats(dogs are available). These cats are from Turkey (Turkish Vans), Iran (Persians), Tibet (Himalayans),Russia (Russian Blues), and other countries such a Singapore(Singapura) and even Britain (British Blues) for example.

Being that your cat is Russian, however, they may want to assure that he has the proper paperwork in order, or they may try to deport him, as often happens. You don't say where you are from, but if you are close to Brighton Beach in NJ (?) I believe there is a large Russian population that can help translate(this according to the Sopranos). They may exact a large price for the service...

I would just place a Black Russian or White Russian close by while you teach him American Sign Language, if he doesn't like the Vodka, you drink it and give him tuna and water...
DA?"

This response was chosen as the "Best Answer" with the comment by the asker, "This was very helpful. I hope I can learn what my new Russian cat is interested in. Thank you! "

I thought that this was a most charming and creative interchange between two people who have a stellar sense of humor.  What do you think about their conversation? Leave a comment and let us know your reactions!
