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.
Poppy (New England, USA) was recently put on a diet by her vet and is unhappy about it. So unhappy, in fact, that she broke an expensive piece of pottery by climbing to new heights in her hunt for more food. She's lucky she is loved regardless.
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.
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.
Good news from the Black Cat Ranch. Miss Mercy (California, USA) is gaining weight, after increasing her prednisone! On the other hand, she has started waking her human up for food at 3am. She went and stood on her human's shoulder, put her face close to their ear and meowed repeatedly. She’s very little, but, despite her size, she subsequently got mad at Seamonster and started battling with him to force him off the bed. Then everybody jumped off the bed. No respect for the food giver.
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.
Garfield (USA) is a meowdel and had his first job of the new year this week!! Congratulations Garfield, you are a very handsome cat!
News from the Black Cat Ranch: the human was collecting Mercy's (California, USA) food dish from the bedroom, leaving the door open slightly behind them. Eclipse and Tony were hot on their heels, however, instead of just pushing the door open, Tony decided to take an alternative route. He leapt through the gap, failed to get purchase on a bookcase and fell off. Eclipse just opened the door.
A tiny little tuxedo kitten, born prematurely, the only survivor of his litter, has warmed hearts in foster care, nursery, and the fediverse. Little Oliver (California, USA) took longer to grow and spent weeks in the kitten nursery recovering from a persistent URI. Despite it all, he is a bright and silly spirit and brought joy to all. Even better, accompanied by his stuffed seahorse toy, Oliver was adopted on his first full day available!
Noodles (New York, USA) is feeling much better after some tummy troubles early this week. She will not, however, be eating the tuna flavored cat food any time soon. Thankfully, new cans of chicken flavored cat food arrived today.
