Miracle Jam

A cartoon of a black cat sitting on someone's lap while they are driving a car.

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!

Pins And Needles

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.

Golly Runs

A cartoon of a beige tabby cat being chased by an orange and white cat.

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.

The Secret Ingredient

A cartoon of a black and white cat asleep on a heating mat, while a black kitten watches from a distance.

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.

Taking It Easy

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.

Attention Required!

A cartoon of an orange cat with a little crinkled ear, meowing.

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 the chemical warfare cat strikes again!

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!

Homebody

A cartoon of a grey Scottish fold cat hiding at the back of a clothes drawer.

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.

Take Two

A cartoon of an orange cat running with its tail fluffed up.

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?

The Brave And The Bold

A cartoon of a slinky brown tabbyish cat peeking through a window next to two houseplants.

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