She's already starting to catch a few mice.

But you're giving him too much credit. Felix is smart - part Siamese, you know - but Felix also has very much one single interest, which happens to be: 'Felix's well-being'.

Felix greets me enthusiastically when I get home, because it's dinner time. Felix likes Drinka, our dog, because she's soft and warm. And so on and so forth.

Gratuitous foster kitten photo. Now adopted by one of my former co-workers. And my cat, Julie, who loved ladders.

I'm not sure about all these cats watching TV photos/videos.

Latte got out and caught her first mole today.

And, it is still mid-winter.

Silly me. I thought these were for presenting bikes. But they're not. Of course not. They're for presenting cats.

Has anybody else tried using a loose bicycle spoke as a cat toy? It is one of my cat's favorite toys (bathroom toy?)

Old shoe boxes are very useful for shipping bicycle parts, like the saddle and crankset I received in this one earlier today. But of course shoes and bicycle parts aren't what they're really meant for ...

There is a USPS mailer about the size of a shoebox. It is probably getting a bit small, but that was one of my kitten's first toys. She picked it out, threw everything out, and dove inside.

I sure ain't. Currently we have a standard Poodle, a Pinscher, and the cat. Here's the cat cleaning the Pinscher's ear.
