Caturday: Tommy the Tabby

A few weeks ago I went down to visit a friend who had just moved to LA. I had a fabulous time. We went to The Last Bookstore (which is amaaaaaaziiiiing and I want to live there), Universal City Walk, and Disneyland. It was an epic weekend.

And her roommate has an epic cat, Tommy the Tabby!

It's hard to tell from the photos- but he's MASSIVE. The biggest tabby I've ever seen. I mean, he's kind of chunky in terms of weight, but even without that he's huge.

King of the castle!

Time to get ready for work. We got a new movie yesterday (The Spectacular Now- it looks great), and we're showing the 49ers game tomorrow, so it should be a busy weekend!

Happy Caturday!

Caturday: SAY IT IN CATS.

This week I made the most amazing discovery ever via Neon Fresh: A website where you can type in whatever text you want AND IT SPELLS THOSE WORDS WITH CATS.

This. This is what the internet was created for. You can say whatever you want in cats here. It's a Japanese website (go figure) but it's easy to figure out. (the four options between the text entry box and the button that makes it go are size options- largest on the left).

Happy Caturday!

Caturday: Celebrity edition

Sooooo at one point I posted cats every Saturday. But during the unplanned break I took after October I somehow lost that. I think I'll bring it back!

Today was a four-cup-of-coffee sort of day. Between dropping my phone in a toilet last night to leaving my keys at my mom's house to needing those keys this morning by 8:45 so I could serve popcorn to forty ten-year-olds at the start of a long shift... let's just say I've had better days.

But these have made today infinitely better.

Is twenty enough? I think twenty is enough.

That was so much fun. If you ever need a little pick-me-up I definitely recommend searching for celebrities and cats on Pinterest. Or you could just check out this pinboard- I discovered it toward the end of my search and it is AMAZING. Over six hundred pins!

Have a great weekend, everyone. Hopefully this made it just a pinch better.

Happy Caturday!

This is Jango (or Django, if you ask my brother- named after the original spaghetti western, not the Tarantino flick).

My mom adopted him last August to keep Groucho company. He is one of the sweetest cats I have ever met. He starts purring literally when you pick him up. Look at those huge eyes and tell me you don't feel the love!

Hope you have a chance to pet a cat today!

Caturday craft!

This Caturday I'm posting a plug for one of my bestest friends, Jessie and her awesome Etsy, Ciaobeatrice! She makes super cute animal pillows and her kitten (pillow) is adorable.

Jess is one of the sweetest, awesomest, talented ladies I know. She lives in LA- too far from here! She just put a new Hobbes softy in her shop, too!

Crafts tomorrow. I'm excited!

Caturday.

Egads! Have I really gone a whole week without an update? Oops! This week has flown by. More hours at work, and I spent my two days off crafting like a madwoman. I'll have some photos to show for that soon.

This Caturday I thought I'd share one of my favorite cat webcomics, Cat Versus Human.

CvsH's creator, Yasmin, is crazy about cats and really hits the nail on the head as far as cat ownership. If you dig CvsH, check out her book and her shop, where she's got cute shirts, iPhone cases, and canvas totes with lots of cute cat designs.

I am absolutely drooling over this super cute wide neck sweatshirt!

Happy Caturday! Now go pet a kitty.

Caturday.

I have not yet figured out a schedule for this blog yet; how many updates I'll post each week, which days will cover what topics, et cetera et cetera. It is too soon for me. I need to experiment a little and find my voice.

The exception being Caturday. Because I. Effing. Love. Cats.

I won't be celebrating Caturday in the traditional lolcat fashion (for more on that check out Know Your Meme). Instead I will share things like this photo.

Groucho, Harpo, and Chico were rescue kittens my old roommate found in a box outside of a K-Mart three years ago. I begged my mom to let me take them home... and she said yes! She still has Groucho, and Chico went home with my uncle, but Harpo sadly and suddenly died last year. I can't have cats in my apartment so I have to visit my mom to get my cat fix. Guess where I'll be this afternoon?

Happy Caturday!
