Picture of the Day
Every cat I’ve ever had is terrified of the vacuum cleaner. They run for the hills as soon as the thing starts up, which is useful because it keeps them out of the way while you work. This cat apparently doesn’t mind, and is taking advantage of the way a vacuum will take loose hair off and actually tug at the scalp in a fairly pleasing manner.How they got this feline to not be terrified of the sucking tube of doom I can only guess at.
Mr. Romeo Levitates, and other Feline Friday treats
If there were a panel of judges holding up cards rating Mr. Romeo on his form, I’m sure he would be racking up some high scores! Back straight, legs directly in front, tail extended, eyes forward. It was a very lucky shot. I happened to have the camera in hand when he took up a position on the floor, looking up to the counter top, and his back end signaled that he was preparing to jump. So I raised the camera and took several images in short order. This one caught almost the perfect moment as

Got You Under My Skin!
Firstly, my news before I reach the meat of my post. I’ve sold a new manuscript to Ellora’s Cave. It’s called House of the Cat, and I posted an outtake for this story a couple of weeks ago for Snippet Saturday. House of the Cat is a paranormal sci-fi with a feline shifter hero. I
Stone age memes: Radioactive lolcats
I’ve never experienced “ Radioactive Cats ,” Sandy Skoglund’s 1981 installation, in person, but I love the photographs I’ve seen of it: a gray kitchen, with an old man and woman, and everywhere, cats, painted neon green, crawling, writhing, looking lanky and predatory and anything but cute. Skoglund likes to take the things that seem tame and comfortable to us and render them in ways that make us squirm. Lately I’ve begun to think that “Radioactive Cats” suitably predicted the status of the feli

Where do Vaccine-Associated Tumors Develop in Cats?
Hi Dr. Barchas, I know that the feline rabies vaccine has been associated with fibrosarcomas at the site of injection. Is it possible for the vaccine to cause tumors in other locations? Someone told me that the three-year rabies vaccine was more likely to cause cancer - is this true? My cats received the three-year vaccine several years ago. One of them developed an aggressive tumor in her abdomen a couple years later. As surgery would not improve her quality of health, we elected to put
Cat Urinary Infection – Naughty Urine Behavior Hides Painful Illness
by Kater Are you thinking your cat’s odd potty behavior is related to a feline urinary infection? You could be on to the real problem. Cats are amazing creatures. When they are ill they just deal with it. Now they may display some abnormal litter box behavior, but we don’t know that the cat is really sick. Sometimes they may squat on the edge of the litter box forever, but there is nothing to show. No urine or stool. Then an few minutes later you may find a puddle of urine on the kitchen cou
daily ritual: noticing the love between m + m (and photographing it)
it is no secret that I love a couple of boys named mortimer and motown, and that I photograph them often. I am not too shy about expressing my feelings for these two. I am also not shy about posting photos of one or both of them in this space and over on flickr on a pretty regular basis. what can I say, they are rather photogenic and I’m a bit of a crazy cat-lady. could be worse. funny thing is, I never lived with cats until mort and motown. I grew up in a family that preferred dogs to cats
