Existentialist Cat

Why do cats look like they just smelled something bad?

Ever wonder why your cat has that "eeech" look on its face after smelling something (especially another cat's butt)? It's not what you think.

Cats have a special gland in their upper mouth. After they smell something with their nose they open their mouth to use this gland to re-route the air passages to their nose to help the cat's sensory nerves carry messages on a separate route to the brain than that of the normal sense of smell. It's sort of like re-smelling the scent but in a different way.

Cat's need water in summer's heat

It may not get as hot where you live as where I live but the summer heat still takes a toll on your neighborhood's outdoor cats. It may not be a bad idea to place a dish of fresh water in your yard each day to help them to stay hydrated.

Lap Time

I know Honey & Diablo aren’t “normal” (what cat is?).  At the end of the day they both like to curl up in my lap, after a long day of kittynapping alone.  Last night they were both sleeping on the guest bed when lap time came so I sat down and called upstairs “Honey, come sit on my lap”.  Within seconds I heard her jump off the bed, run downstairs and jump on my legs.  Next I called the same way to Diablo and seconds later he came trotting down the stairs and up onto my lap.  There’s not an “independent” bone in either of their bodies!

Just trying to return the favor

I had a cat once that dragged home a possum that was larger than the cat.  You guessed it, the possum was playing possum, as soon as the cat turned its back the possum took off.

The spirit of giving

If you can't give today, do it tomorrow, but please do it.

Bedtime

Honey & Diablo in the middle of the night, deep asleep.  Gee, do you think they might be related or something?

Please do this every single day!

The number of cats who are hurt, maimed or killed when sleeping in car engines or wheelwells is large and preventable.  Please help avoid such tragedies by taking a few seconds to take these simple steps.  Thank you.
