A day like always. Leosia (Kujawy, Poland) is eating with Leon. Despite having identical food and bowls, she eats his the moment it is available. Later, they like to run with each other.

Marley (Oxfordshire, UK) has started jumping up to the window, so he can watch the rain with his human while they wait for their tea to brew.

Bagel (BC, Canada) has a big announcement to make. He has been shouting very loudly so everyone in the house gets the message. It is vitally important that everyone, everywhere, drop what they are doing and come watch him poop.

Prince (Bristol, UK) likes to get in the shower first, to make sure it is safe in there. He also seems to enjoy waiting for it to be turned on so he can race the water. Normally he can make it out of the shower faster than gravity and pressure can move the water droplets.

Sammy (BC, Canada) is quite a fan of the new potted plants. He likes to jump up and paw at them, to make sure they are still all in good order.

The humans were talking in the kitchen, so there was nothing to be done except that Lydia (Greater London, UK) join them on the stool nearby. There's no way she was going to be left out of important conversations.

Cat News has another announcement this week. The Cat News editor and the Cat News illustrator have been working on a web comic called 'The Monster Dating Show.' Episodes comes out on webtoons every 10th, 20th and 30th. It is a story about a werewolf, a vampire and a witch joining a dating show, to try and give paranormal beings better representation. It will also feature a talking cat. You can find the link here, if that sounds like something you'd enjoy: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/the-monster-dating-show/list?title_no=1101646

Pippin (BC, Canada) very sweetly came and asked his human for snacks at lunchtime, sitting on their desk and patiently waiting for them to be ready to feed him. The plan was nearly perfect. Unfortunately humans can talk to each other, and the human was warned that he had already been fed.

Want to take a look back at old Cat News? We are now slowly re-uploading them in random order on Tapas, if you want to relive what the cats of the world have been doing for the last few years. https://tapas.io/episode/3794022

Bumble (Buckinghamshire, UK) has found that one of her humans has a mug that fits her whole head inside. She has also discovered that tepid tea, in an unattended mug, is quite tasty. She now wants to have her share every time the mug appears.

Lilli (Germany) was stuck in a traffic jam on the autobahn with her humans. She slept, and when she woke, they were still there! So she decided to go and watch the trucks passing in the opposite lanes. To do that, she climbed up and sat on her human's legs - sitting on their lap for the second time in 21 years!

While his human was answering e-mails, Archie (Auckland, New Zealand) snuck between their feet and sunk all of his little baby needle teeth into their big toe. He has to learn how to hunt somehow.

One of Golly’s (Massachusetts, USA) most favorite games is having his human staff “fake” chase him around the house. He is a little less sure when his older brother Tigger-Tiger chases him as sometimes it feels like a little too real.

Molly (Greater London, UK) likes lying on a heated mat. There are two heated mats, one for each cat. She especially likes lying on Max's mat. The mats are identical, but she takes every opportunity to steal his.

It's been a slow winter. Lots of naps, Ziggy (Earth) is on a diet and Lola has been busy being Lola. Cat News recommends everyone treat them like role models and take it easy too.

Aura (Kent, UK) has been more vocal asking for cuddles lately. She doesn't normally meow unless going to the vets, but now at home she's been meowing so much more when she wants attention.

Cassiel (Ontario, Canada), despite eating the same things as all the other cats, produces intermittent rounds of chemical warfare, and is somehow the only creature not affected! Previous Cassiel stories are here: https://cat-news.news/2025/08/10/something-to-sniff-at/ https://cat-news.news/2025/06/28/a-stare-from-the-stairs/

Marseille (Chișinău, Moldova) completely vanished the moment she detected the faintest hint that her human was going to take her outside in her cat backpack. The idea was she might get to see snow for the first time, but she went from meowing all day and being a lap cat to being silent and hidden. Her human was very spooked and hunted everywhere for her. Eventually she was found behind their clothes in the closet drawer.

Simba (Earth) bolted up from the basement with his tail all puffed up. Twice. Ten minutes apart. It is not fully clear why he did this, but his human thinks maybe he spotted a friend outside?

Tiny (Glasgow, Scotland) has moved into a new home in Glasgow southside and has been a big brave boy looking out the window.
