Salem, The Knitting Inspector

A cartoon of a black cat grabbing and pulling at at a pink knitted square.

Salem (Hampshire, UK) always needs to check the tension of the knitting work. This is essential to make sure that the product is warm and cozy. To do so, before starting any new job, Salem needs to test a bespoke fresh sample of the knitting, with loads of dangly threads for extra pull. Cats are always working for the good of the community!

Feeling Fresh

A cartoon of a tabby and white cat curled up cosily, asleep while wearing a cat harness.

Pippin (BC, Canada) looked like he wanted to go out and explore the balcony. It turns out he just wanted to go and sleep on the outdoor furniture while his human got cold.

Singing a different tuna

A cartoon of two black cats investigating a bowl of tuna salad.

Bel and Dari (Ontario, Canada) are VERY INTERESTED in their human's tuna salad. So interested that they're expressing their profound desire in song and poke.

Breaking: It’s Treat Time

A cartoon of an orange siamese cat meowing and staring forwards.

Maggie (California, USA) has formally announced that it's time for treats. She made the announcement by staring intently at her owner for some time, then meowing repeatedly when he didn't get the hint. Treats will now be distributed.

Note: speculative image, as Cat News does not know Maggie's coat colours.

Shimmy Time

A cartoon showing a cat's eyes in the dark underneath a lump in a turquoise blanket.

For her own reasons, Minerva (Vermont, USA) threw herself under one of the blankets in the bedroom, and proceeded to shimmy across the bed in it like a worm. It is possible she was just trying to get out the other side, but it is also possible she just thought it was fun.

Booking It

A cartoon of an orange and white cat jumping as a book lands next to it on the ground.

Spike (PEI, Canada) likes to rub up against the bookshelf. For some reason he hasn't learnt that it is his own fault that books keep trying to attack him.

Welcome Human!

A cartoon of a happy tabby cat walking forwards with its tail up.

Genie's (California, USA) human finally came home after being out for literally hours. She came running up, tail raised high and fluffy, to happily meow a greeting as they returned. She is a fantastic greeter.

Grumpy Face

A cartoon of a tortoiseshell cat grumpily cosying up to a gold cushion.

Kaya (Dorset, UK) often has a very grumpy face as she slouches into the cushions. Her humans are pretty sure she is relaxed, but it can be hard to tell.

Not Listening

A cartoon of a black cat staring up into the air.

Herman's (Washington State, USA) human keeps telling him that it isn't dinner time yet! Luckily for Herman, he wasn't paying attention, so he is going to ask again anyway.
