Secret Cuteness

Today Pippin (BC, Canada) was being utterly adorable playing with a toy. He promptly stopped the moment one of his humans tried to film it and instead just began licking himself.

Gift Accepted

Benjamin (Surrey, UK) was very curious about what his human was eating today, and was even allowed to get close enough to sniff it. This is how Benjamin’s human learned that cats will eat bread when given the opportunity.

Dissection Master Class

TC (Buckinghamshire, UK) reports that since his failed attempt to teach hunting skills to the miniature humans, he has tried a dissection lesson instead. This time he provided a fully dead squirrel and placed it in front of his food bowl, where he proceeded to show the inner workings to the miniature humans. This did seem to rouse more interest and less screaming. Sadly, despite this, the miniature humans’ hunting skills have yet to improve.

No Obstacle

Tom (Hertfordshire, UK) has found a nice patch of sunlight in the house to sleep in. The fact it is in a walkway everyone uses is of little consequence to him. Everyone must step around.

International Cat Day 2022!

Happy International Cat Day from Cat News! We just want to show our appreciation and give our thanks to all the cats out there, and especially the cats who have sent in their stories (and their humans). We love reading them and drawing them. Have a wonderful day, even though, really, every day is cat day, because cats rule the world.

Warning: Humans have telekinesis!

TC (Buckinghamshire, UK) was merrily sleeping away on the arm of the sofa as his humans worked on the other side of the room. In a deep sleep TC was rudely awoken when they used their human telekinesis powers to push him of the sofa arm causing him to fall (he definitely did not fall in his sleep). A warning to cats out there: humans use their telekinesis powers to torment adorable sleeping cats.

Some Like It Hot

It’s hot outside, but Pippin (BC, Canada) hasn’t been sitting in front of the fan. Instead he likes to sit next to it and watch it blow.

Intruder trapped

Yogi (Buckinghamshire, UK) was surprised to find a strange cat in the conservatory and valiantly guarded the entry to the rest of the house. Not to be outdone, Bumble guarded the cat flap exit to the garden thereby trapping the intruder between them. The traumatised cat has not been seen since the humans let it out the back door.

A Heavy Burden

Oatcake (North Carolina, USA) continues his efforts to help his human write their novel, by reorganizing their notes onto the carpet. The new filing system is based on which pieces of paper fall the slowest.

Present Of The Day

TC (Buckinghamshire, UK) recently provided a half dead squirrel as a gift offering to his miniature humans to practice their kitten hurting skills. The results were mixed. There was a lot of screaming from taller humans. Next time dead squirrels will be provided.
