Cat’s Got Nothing to Do Café: Our Foreign Correspondent Reports In

Today we are again grateful to old SoLT’s friend and our
foreign correspondent, Joseph, who was recently traveling in Taiwan and Japan
and was kind enough to share some cat-related pictures with us for our blog.
The picture we’re leading with today is, I think, my favorite so far, and it
does not even have a cat in it. It is a sign for a café called Cat’s Got Nothing
to Do Café. No, it’s not a

Cats of the Week: Chloe in Baltimore

During the month of July, several
shelters in our home state of Maryland are offering free cat and kitten
adoptions through the Maryland 2000 program. Most of the young kittens won’t
have any trouble getting a lot of attention, but there are also so many older
cats in shelters just waiting to be welcomed into a loving forever home. That’s
why each week in this space, we feature a senior cat

App Review: Avatar Maker: Cats

 

Today we review an app that we found to be a lot of fun,
even though it is not a game. It is called Avatar Maker: Cats, and it lets you
create a cat avatar that is as tame or as wild as you want it to be.



How it works

Sunday Selfie: Webster at Ease

Today we join the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head, with this picture of Real Cat Webster. It seems (to Webster) that Real Cat Paisley has been getting all the attention lately, what with her recovery gown and all, and Webs is sure that it must be his turn now. Well, he is right!

Caturday Art: Paisley Times Two

Welcome to our Caturday Art. This week someone, who shall remain nameless, couldn't stop herself at just one version of our art, so she went for two. Actually, what happened was, she made the first one and thought it was intriguing but possibly too "out there" for some of the Caturday Art crowd, so she made another that is slightly less weird. Still weird, but less so. Here's the really weird one

Friendly Fill-Ins for July 21

Today we one Friday feature for you: Friendly
Fill-Ins, from 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader. They are a fun way to learn a little bit about the authors of
the blogs you read. The first two questions, answered by old SoLT this week,
are from Ellen of 15andmeowing, and the next two, answered by Real Cat Paisley,
are from Annie of McGuffy’s Reader.

Review of After Surgery Wear E-Collar Alternative for Cats

A message from Miss
C: I am turning the blog over to old SoLT today for a product review. Try not
to be too disappointed with the low quality of her writing (really, it’s barely
intelligible, but I think you can make it out if you concentrate).

Cat of the Week: Maggie in Baltimore

During the month of July, several shelters in our home state of Maryland are offering free cat and kitten adoptions through the Maryland 2000 program.

Book Review: If the Haunting Fits, Wear It

On this Mysterious Monday, we consider the latest
installment in Rose Pressey’s Haunted Vintage series. It’s called If the Haunting Fits, Wear It, and as we’ve
come to expect from this series, it is a thoroughly fun story to get lost in.

Sunday Selfie: Paisley Is Too Busy

Old SoLT was so ridiculously excited when Real Cat Paisley sauntered into the office yesterday. "We can do your selfie!" she exclaimed. (I am not exaggerating; she actually exclaimed. It was embarrassing.) Well, Paisley had other plans.


"Do you want to just look up for a second to take your selfie?" old SoLT asked, to which Paisley replied, "Can't. I am far too busy."




"Please? Can you just
