Cats!: Inception Cat is unofficially Catstravaganza’s mascot

  • This slow-moving little guy was brought to our attention by Andrew Ottoson, who called Catstravaganza “the new Festivus.” It’s only fitting, then, that we have activities to match that postmodern holiday’s lineup. We think we need to make cat remakes of popular movies a big part of the whole Catstravaganza experience. We’d like to see a few kitties take on that still-in-progress “Arrested Development” movie. We’d love to imagine what a kitty Michael Cera would be like.

Cats!: OUR FIRST CAT! Meet Tangles, who has very piercing eyes

  • This submission comes from our friend Sarah Palmer, someone we know from college back in the day. In other words, she knows how annoying we were back then. Which means she understands how annoying we are now.

Offbeat: Catstravaganza is coming back! Here’s what you need to know.

  • It’s that time again. After some soul-searching and a little talking over cat food, we’ve decided to bring back Catstravaganza, our popular cat feature last year. We’re teaming up with our good friends at Cavalcade of Schlock this year in ensuring total cat saturation. We’ll be bringing you tons of cat photos and cat-related news, and Micah and company will be bringing you lots of cat movie reviews. It’s win-win. (Are you a blogger who wants to saturate your site with cats next Thursday? Bug us. We’d love another sponsor.) Anyway, we want your cats. Here’s what you need to do to submit us cat photos:
  • oneTweet them to us! Send us your cat photos via Twitpic or Yfrog. Then send us a tweet. Be sure to hashtag them as #catstravaganza.
  • twoPost them to Facebook! Our Facebook page (like us yet?) accepts photos and videos, so feel free to submit your fancy feasts over there.
  • threePrefer to keep them a little more private? Send them to us via our official e-mail address, [email protected]. We’ll throw them up.
  • » And a footnote to readers: We’re aware that there are two kinds of people – cat people and people annoyed by cats. To people annoyed by cats, we promise that your regularly scheduled programming will be back on the tenth. And we’ll also set up a non-cat version of the blog for you guys. Promise. 🙂

Offbeat: A note to readers: Would you like to see another Catstravaganza?

  • What is Catstravaganza? To our readers who have only been reading the site for a year or so, we had a sort of fake battle with Urlesque, which ran “A Day Without Cats,” a day where no cats would prowl the interweb. We responded by turning the site into a mecca of catdom, complete with reader submissions.

    Our question for youDo you want to see another Catstravaganza, or would you prefer to get more short, sweet news? Acutally, you’ll get news either way. But there’ll be more cats hanging around on 09/09/10 than usual. Most of them will be strays, though if we find any with tags, we’ll do our best to return them to their rightful owners. And trust us; your allergies won’t kick in.

Music: Devo’s listening parties: Much more feline than yours

  • We’re sure the “I Can Has Cheezbuger” folks love this. To celebrate the band’s release of its first album in about 20 years (years which have been spent, among other things, in “Rugrats” purgatory), the band had a listening party. In a room full of cats. Seems pretty awesome, right? (Hat tip Laughing Squid) source
