Feline Philosophy

A cartoon of an orange cat lying on its side and looking thoughtful.

In quite the turn of events, Voltaire (Saskatchewan, Canada) came to tell his human that he had had a thought. He couldn’t seem to remember what it was, but it is very notable that he may have had it.

On a string

Quick tip from Pippin (BC, Canada), the humans can’t leave the house if you have their shoelaces.

Seeing the signs

Karen (Greater London, UK) did not announce that she would be sleeping nearby while her human was relaxing… but there are signs.

Food Delivery

A cartoon of a cream coloured cat crouched down nervously next to his food bowl.

There are contractors in the house and Bagel (BC, Canada) is hiding where it is safe under the bed. He managed to telepathically instruct his humans to bring his food bowl to him though, rather than go past the strangers down to the kitchen, so he is ok for now.

Sings the song of his people

A cartoon of a tabby cat meowing up a set of stairs.

Tabby (Earth) is known to go to the most echo-worthy spot at the bottom of the stairs and sing the song of his people for the whole household to hear at random moments throughout the day. Sometimes leaving the company of his humans to perform.

Morning Chorus

The birds were out and singing today, so Pasta (Wicklow, Ireland) was singing back to them. It is not clear if the birds appreciated this accompaniment or not.

Terciel got his goat

A cartoon of a black cat sitting politely and licking his lips.

Terciel (Ontario, Canada), being a proper gentleman, sits tidily in front of his human, and wills a piece of goat brochette into his mouth.

Going Crackers

A cartoon of an orange and white cat lying on his side next to a package of crackers.

Noodles (Washington State, USA) has seemingly gotten a taste for Ritz crackers, and while his human was out he broke into the pantry and extracted a mini sleeve from the box. He then gnawed on it for some time, perforating and crushing a half dozen crackers.

Sharing Is Caring

A cartoon of a white kitten eating from a big blue dog bowl.

Babette (Washington State, USA) loves to eat her dog brother’s food, and thinks it smells really good. Unfortunately it is a bit big to chew. However her Grand-human likes to visit with two little dogs and their kibble is much easier to eat.

Unfair Play

A cartoon of a tabby and white cat looking out through a window at a person walking a dog.

Mister Pickles (New York State, USA) has observed that the dog gets to go to the park all the time. This seems extremely unfair as he only gets to leave to go to the vet!
