Fatso Schmidt: the True Story
You have got to watch this video. It is hi-freakin’-larious. Brilliant. Further comments from me would be superfluous, even nugatory.
Art Cats on Display
My posts have been somewhat heavy recently, so I’ll lighten the mood with this post about some nice artsy, cat-related goings on in Catskill, NY. Catskill is hosting an outdoor art dipslay, called “Art Cats on Display.”
Jail Time for Former New Waver’s Cat Abuse
Several months ago I posted about the animal abuse charges against Dale Bozzio, former lead singer for the new wave band Missing Persons. Bozzio was charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty after investigators found her house stuffed with neglected cats. Bozzio went to trial in April and was found guilty (though not of all charges) and […]
Meet the community cats #1: Mittens
As John said so well in his special post from London, all of you who care about the Tabby’s Place cats are truly family to us. But, our family is scattered across the miles and oceans, so we like to give you as much of an experience of the feline community here in the non-metropolis […]
Do you hear the felines sing?
Singing the songs of kitty glee? It is the music of the kitties who, today, are Brandy-free. With apologies to Les Miserables for that musical interlude, it’s easy to imagine that you can hear the happy songs of the Suite B cats from oceans away today. It’s all thanks to one elegant tabby, or, rather, […]
The Evolution of House Cats
I am fascinated by evolution and the way various life forms are categorized and compared. I have spent countless hours at home leafing through my copy of The Tree of Life (a Phylogenetic Classification) studying the branches in the tree and looking for interesting patterns (“Where did the four-chambered heart appear?”) You won’t be surprised […]
Tremendous Tara and Beautiful Bonzai Adopted!!!
Blacks cats have the terrible misfortune of being over looked for adoption all too often. Sometimes these black beauties just blend into the crowd. Some feel they’re not unique enough. And, some are, believe it or not, superstitious about owning a black cat. But, not this week!
From despair to dessert: the Chester Four
While I certainly don’t condone their actions, my heart goes out to animal hoarders who genuinely believe they are helping – even “saving” - the creatures in their care. But it always seems to end in multi-species tragedy, as the hoarder is heartbroken when the animals are taken away, and the animals struggle to recover from […]
Outpost from across the pond
The following is a special guest post from John Graham, cat-adorer extraordinaire in London, England. John, everykitty at Tabby’s Place sends big thanks and many purrs for your kindness and your amazing heart! I couldn’t agree more that you and Bets are truly family to every one of us at Tabby’s Place, and we are so […]
“And the Mouse Police Never Sleeps”
I wonder if any of you recognize the album cover to the left? On second thought, if you’re old enough to remember (like me), your eyesight has probably deteriorated to the point that the image is too small to make out. In any case, the cover is of a seminal rock album: “Stand Up,” Jethro Tull’s […]
