Majimeow: Etiquette Mascot of the Taipei Metro System
Cats could teach humans a lot, if humans would only pay
attention. For example, cats know a lot about etiquette. That’s probably why
the metro in Taipei, Taiwan, uses a cute cat named Majimeow as the face of a
campaign to promote civil behavior in stations and on trains.

Cat of the Week: Ryan in Baltimore
June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month. At this time of year, “kitten season,” the young kittens get a lot of attention. But there are lots of 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 (7 years +) in need of adoption or sponsorship. Mature cats make great companions, and unlike kittens, they (probably)

Sunday Selfie: Layla's First Gotcha Day!
Today for the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by The Cat on My Head, we are letting Resident Dog Layla get in on the fun, because today is her first Gotcha Day. Here she is enjoying her party:
The Real Cats find it hard to believe that Layla has only been here for a year. It seems like such a looooong time (especially to Paisley). But the humans in the house can hardly believe it's been a

We kept it simple this week for the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by Athena. Old SoLT just took one of her favorite pictures of Real Cat Webster and used the Landscape effect in LunaPic. We like what it did to his eye and the texture of his fur:

She already had a cat, but it never occurred to her that the cat might like to
go hiking. You just never heard of things like that back then.
But now you do. All the time. “Adventure cats” is a “thing”
now. We’ve lost count of the number of news stories
