3 Good Links Thursday

Posted in Cats, This, that and the other at 0:05

One Good Cat Link: The hamburger chain known as either Checkers or Rally has an advertising campaign centered around a cat puppet named Rap Cat. OK, so far, so good. The restuarant also wants you to put a cat in one of their bags, which is printed to look like the outfit the cat puppet wears in the commercial, then take a picture of your bagged cat and send it to them. (Cringing) Oooh…not such a good idea.

One Video Link: Have you ever heard of rabbit show jumping? I haven’t, but after watching the video below, I like it…

One Other Link: Baseball players aren’t the only people who autograph baseballs. For instance, a baseball signed by a former U.S. president fetched more than $4,000. So how much would an autographed baseball be worth if it bore the signature of, say, Mother Teresa? (If the signature were genuine, that is…)

What is a Good Cat?

“A cat enjoys the quiet self-esteem of one who is comfortable in his skin, who requires no applause or salary raises to hold his tail high.”

    — Rick Bayan

Caitie attentively inspects Kelly, and, as a Good Cat, he accepts it as his due. The look on his face seems to say, in the words of epigrammatist Ashleigh Brilliant: Appreciate me now and avoid the rush.

At the beginning of the snowstorm last Tuesday, Kelly and Caitie went outside briefly… very briefly.

Caitie rests her head on John's left forearm.

And remember, you can also see Easy Like Sunday photos at Diva Kitty and the Fluffies and Cat Crossings.

Let Me Out! Let Me In!

Posted in Cats, This, that and the other at 12:00

After the snowstorm Wednesday, I cleared the driveway and the sidewalks, but not the deck. Thursday and Friday, things were frozen by the time I got home from work. That meant the cats hadn’t been out for days when I hauled out the icebreaker and the snow shovel this morning and cut a path in the drift left on the deck. All the Good Cats took a few steps into the sunshine, but Lizzie and Nicky made quick U-turns back inside when they realized how cold it still was. Kelly and Caitie lasted only a little longer…

Caitie seems to be having second thoughts already.

Just out the door, Caitie seems to be having second thoughts already.

Kelly is making his way back to the door.

After a minute or two, Kelly makes his way to the back door.

Caitie does the hokey-pokey with her right hind paw.

Caitie does the hokey-pokey with her right hind paw, and soon, she is back inside as well.

By the way, I hear tell that the 152nd Carnival of the Cats is calling Pet’s Garden Blog TBIFOC home this weekend.
