Sometimes one is invited into the rare and compelling world of an animal caught in their natural habitat, completely unaware they are being watched. I happened upon a chance like this one day and had to grab the camera to capture this stunning creature, much like a photographer for National Geographic would do, if the occasion so presented itself.

You will notice with the advancement of technology, how I was able to capture the visual surroundings and transcribe the exhilarating feeling of the moment with the high speed of the lens shutter. Each image is more amazing than the next and you can just feel the energy of this amazing creature burst off your computer screen. For your sense of time and to see just how incredible this camera is, I have documented the snapshots in real time. I truly think I deserve some sort of award for this rare and extraordinary post!

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 9:46 a.m. The creature is discovered, apparently sleeping atop some sort of domesticated wicker hamper with a padded towel for maximum napping comfort

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 10:14 a.m. The imagery and range of motion is stunning!

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 12:34 p.m. I don't know about you all, but I feel I could faint from the excitement!

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 2:14 p.m. The animal awakens, completely startled and a blur of motion as he rubs the sandman out of his eyes.

Sunday, June 26, 2011. 4:46 p.m. In what is a shocking and stunning turn of events, the creature has rotated itself to now nap in the opposite direction... this is just incredible people, simply incredible...

My special gratitude and acknowledgements to my beloved cat Zee. Turns out this was not some rare creature after all, but just my cat napping for 16 hours a day on the hamper like he does any other day….

Learning to Drive –
by Zeuss

After reading about Mia’s trip to the mall, it occurred to me that I didn’t know how to drive yet. After asking my humans why that was, the answer received was that I was too young to operate a motor vehicle.

“But my sister Mia knows how to drive,” I said. “We’re the exact same age.”

“Perhaps the laws are different in Florida,” retorted one of my humans. (The argumentative one.) “Different states have different driving laws.”

After researching laws regarding cats and driving, I was able to deduce there there was no legal driving age for cats. The humans had no retort to this fact, and my driving lesson commenced! Read more

This was Zeuss at seven weeks of age – he is now all grown up at two years old!

Muahwahahahahahaha…. Zeuss Catt from Boston and his plot to rule the world is nearing completion! This amazing cat is truly incredible – his jumping skills are renowned and he is quite a popular kitty in his home town – he has made the local paper twice for his endearing antics and I think it’s been a marketing ploy all along to be the first cat to run for the presidency. I don’t know about you, but I think the world is ripe and ready for a change! I would vote for Zeuss for sure!!!!

Zeuss all grown up - if this isn't the makings of an ideal politician, then I don't know what is!

Ever since Human Mom (HM) was a little girl, she loved playing dress-up and with paper dolls and Barbie Dolls. Now that she is an “adult,” she has a house full of porcelain dolls and teddy bears because they are “collectibles.” Sure HM, whatever…. Well, now that we have this awesome blog, her new favorite thing is to torture us kitties with all kinds of cute clip art stuff so that she can dress us up for her own amusement! Well, truth be told, I actually like it too… so when HM asked us kitties if one of us wanted to go on a Caturday Adventure that involved driving, shopping, Malls, and dress up, I quickly raised my paw as the first volunteer! Any of you that know me, know that I am  the princess diva extraordinaire and my favorite thing in the whole world is wearing tiaras and the color pink!

So, HM sent me off to the Mall on a mission – us kitties are going to a birthday party for a new kitty friend we just met named Odin over at Cat Wisdom 101 and I need a NEW hat to wear so that I can look pretty and special! Buckle your seat belts everyone, here we go!!! (Even though I look spectacularly pawsome in my convertible, I have actually never driven before… this could get a bit hairy… keep your paws crossed that we make it okay!) Read more

Rolz and Mia

You ever have one of those lazy kind of days where you just feel like hanging around and doing nothing? What? What do you mean it’s like that everyday for a cat? Hey, we resent that implication! Wait… you’re right, it is like that! Ahhh… the life of a cat!
