Guest post: A very Tabby’s medley
Take it from this fanilow, Barry Manilow’s oeuvre is just like cats (no, not the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical; the actual furbies). Each song is the favorite, and each song is the best.
Guest Post: Zesty: Brave Sir Bellamy
Whether you realize it or not, you are very, very familiar with the Arthurian Legend. Maybe you haven’t done the deep nerd thing (I can NOT make that claim), having never delved into Mallory (too much jousting!), Chrétien De Troyes (maudlin much?), or the Mabinogion (Welsh dictionary advised). Maybe you have never participated in any […]
Guest post: A bit of the sublime
Blissfully back inside Tabby’s Place, I am now one of the hands-on volunteers who get to sweep, mop, stock, and do all manner of cleaning and tasks that need lots of doing, all day, every day. (The cats wish I were a feeder, but they have that wish of all of the people they see […]
Guest post: Mantras
“OM” – classic and concise. “Oh, mama, papa, buy me pizza” — often used in my youth, now in disuse (“oh, no, I gotta buy my own pizza,” and “oh, hubby-wubby, buy me pizza,” just don’t have the same ring).

Guest post: The Physics of Friction, or Mew Mu μ
Mu (μ) is the friction constant (it’s a physics thing). Constant mew can cause immense friction (it’s a cat thing).

I’M BACK!!! Blow the trumpets! Blast the bugles! Bang the drums! SOUND THE KLAXON!
Guest post: Kitty Cuisine
It might stretch your belief that the inventor of shark repellent adored cats. It might surprise you to know how deeply one of the top chefs ever known adored cats. It might also surprise you that a researcher who was at the top of the ladder working for the head of the OSS adored cats. […]
Guest post: The book of cats
C.S. Lewis once compared cats to Pharisees, which is essentially saying what we know to be true. So, when Lewis said, “You Can Never Get A Cup of Tea Large Enough or A Book Long Enough to Suit Me,” it’s clear he was talking about feline paralysis.
Guest Forever Loved Post: We’ve been Waltered
Editor’s note: When the news about Walter crashed like a wave of tears, I was without words and without the strength to do true justice to one of the truest souls we’ve ever known. Miraculously, words arrived courtesy of one of my favorite living writers, Kitty Le Fey. No one could have said it all […]
