Box Testing

A cartoon of a grey cat in a cardboard box.

An outside opinion was needed, and luckily Silver (Manitoba, Canada) was around to confirm that the box in the hallway was indeed a good box. It even passed her extensive nap test.

Lending A Paw

A cartoon of a grey cat peering into a computer case, with a screwdriver lying nearby.

Repairs were underway, and the human clearly needed a technical mind to help. Smokey (Berkshire, UK) was luckily at hand to lend a paw.

Opinion Noted

A cartoon of an expressionless orange cat.

The humans were taking a poll on some possible changes to the house, and of course, they wanted to know Voltaire's (Saskatchewan, Canada) opinion too. It seems that not only does he not have an opinion, he also possibly doesn't have a single thought in his head right now either.

To The Moon

Cat News has received credible reports from Toby (Florida, USA) that the humans have all been very excited about a big bright thing in the sky. He saw it himself, he watched it through the screen door from the back of the blue cloth couch.

Study Time

A cartoon of a black and white cat with sleepy eyes, sitting next to a sheet of paper and a note book.

Gwen (New York State, USA) is trying to supervise her human as they study. Unfortunately it is so boring that she can barely keep her eyes open.

Improvisation Skills

There weren't any toys handy for the human to throw for Beatrice (Québec, Canada) to chase. They had to improvise with random pieces of paper. Luckily, she loved them!

Small Unit Found a Worm

A cartoon of a dilute torbie cat circling and meowing at a worm, surrounded by puddles.

It rained, and Small Unit (California, USA) saw a worm moving on the patio's wet concrete. Her entire mental model of the world shattered, and she circled it like a lion while meowing very loudly for some time.

The Spooner the Better

Tiny (Glasgow, Scotland) is a big fan of licking a little bit of peanut butter off a spoon.

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!

A Cunning Disguise

A cartoon of a blue point ragdoll cat sitting staring out a window with a curtain on her head.

Bonnie (West Sussex, UK) has disguised herself as a curtain. The pigeons will never suspect a thing! Once they let their guard down, all she has to do is work out how to open the door.
