Hieroglyphic Cats from Ancient Crete
We stumbled upon an interesting little tidbit earlier this
week. At first we didn’t even believe it and thought it must be one of those
alternative facts that are so easy to find on the internet. But a little
digging brought us to some reputable sources, so we are ready to tell you that

famous Egyptian hieroglyphs)

Cat of the Week: Bird
Each week in this space, we feature an
older adult or senior cat (7 years +) in need of adoption or sponsorship. Mature
cats make great companions, and unlike kittens, they (probably) won’t climb the
curtains! Adopt an older cat, and help them enjoy the best years of their life.

Real Cat Paisley: A Sunday Selfie Story
Getting a "selfie" of Real Cat Paisley is best accomplished when she is asleep. This is how this week's selfie session went with Paisley awake:
Hmm ... I think I see something over there ....
It's on the move, whatever it is ...
What's that? You want me to turn around? Okaaaay ...
No, no, no ... there is definitely something I need to look at over here.

Here is the original:

Sunday Selfie: Paisley on the Cat Tree
Real Cat Paisley posed for a Sunday Selfie on the cat tree this week. She refused to look at the camera, though, busy as she was watching shadows and sparkly reflections on the floor:
