Cats!: In this cat post, we plea for a mea culpa with our sister

  • Dear Jess: We’re sorry we didn’t get this up yesterday. We just had a ton of photos to throw up! If it makes you feel better, you’re the first Catstravaganza photo to go up on day two. Sincerely, your (now-likely-to-be-estranged) brother. Somebody at the ShortFormBlog staff is getting fired for this ding on decent family relations.

Cats!: An update on Catstravaganza: We’re extending it to two days!

  • We just can’t stop posting cats! We still have a number of photos and such in the can, and rather than just not posting them (not fair to you), we’d much rather share them with you (fair to everybody). So expect more cats tomorrow. Hooray! WHOOO! WE JUST LOVE CATS!

Cats!: Blanket-chewing kitties always warm our hearts

  • Catstravaganza is a worldwide affair. And to that effect, one of our most passionate regular readers, @khakhov, sent along some particularly cute kitty photos from the island of Mauritius. We have to admit, anytime a cat chews on a blanket, it melts our hearts and makes us feel a bit too cheery inside:
  • A pretty tasty snack There are many awesome things about this photo – the claws, the chewing – but our favorite is the ultra-colorful eyes.
  • Some pretty serious navel-gazing “Look at that serious little upside-down face,” @khakhov tells us. That’s only one part of what makes this photo cool. We dig the disorientation.
  • Editor’s note: An earlier version of this article listed somewhere else as the home point for this wonderful cat. Sorry about that. We owe Khadeja an apology. We swear it won’t happen again! 🙁

Cats!: Cat adopts squirrel, proves most mammals get along

  • She’s very protective of it. If it starts to move and she don’t like where its going she’ll reach up and pull it back and start licking it and taking care of it like she would one of her kittens.
  • Central Mississippi T.A.I.L.S. organizer Jim Watson • On their cat, Emmy, who has adopted a squirrel. Not only has she adopted said squirrel, but the squirrel has even started purring. “Oh the squirrel, you can pick it up and pet it and it will start to purr just like a kitten does,” Watson said. Nothing more to add except for this: There’s video at the link. THERE’S VIDEO AT THE LINK. (Thanks Nick Snider for the link.) source

Cats!: To bum you out, here’s a photo of a cat wearing a cone

  • Reader Emily johnson’s cat Larry had a recent spat of bad luck. He apparently decided to jump out of a broken window, so now he’s wearing a cone. If it makes you feel better, Larry, we’re wearing a cone right now, too. And it’s not a fashion choice.
