Webster the Real Cat on Blizzard 2016: The Snowplow Incident

The Real Cats





 Hi, friends. It’s Webster the Real Cat, and I’m in the house today to give you a brief report on the most interesting part of the Blizzard of 2016.

Cats deserve awards. Lots of awards. Admit it, every single
day your cat does something so irresistible you just want to give him an award.
The way she talks to you…the way she lies on her back and observes the world
upside down…the way she gently touches your food and then licks the luscious flavor
from her paw while you wonder if you should still

Book Review: The Misadventures of Grumpy Cat (and Pokey!)

Did you know that everyone’s favorite grump has her own
comic book? Well, she does, and it is a pretty fun read overall.



I am talking about Grumpy Cat, of course, and the book is
called The Misadventures of Grumpy Cat
(and Pokey!). In this collection of comic book stories, Grumpy Cat plays
herself and Pokey plays her happy, energetic (and therefore often annoying [to
Grumpy]) foil. The book

National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day

The Real Cats






You are looking at a Real Cat with a lot of questions (but about only one subject).







Today (January 22) is National Answer Your Cat’s Question
Day, and since She of Little Talent has barred me, Miss Cuddlywumps, from asking any questions
(sounds like someone’s afraid of the truth), I’ve invited Webster the Real Cat
in to do the asking. So, Webster, old SoLT has agreed

From time to time, I like to report on the most cutting-edge
science related to cats, and this, as you may have guessed, is one of those
times.



It seems that cats with calico and tortoiseshell coloring
tend to be more aggressive than cats of other colors.

you can turn to satisfy your craving for amazing feats of athleticism (assuming
you’re not excited about watching your football enemies progress toward

See the Year’s Best Cat Cuddle

“And the Academy Award goes to…”Oh, who cares? I haven’t been to a movie in…my whole life. Let’s talk about something important. Like cats. And the Acatemy Awards, otherwise known as The Cat's Meow Awards. These truly important awards are brought to you by Meow Mix and are part of the Mix’s celebration of those irresistible moments that make the human-feline bond so special. (Let’s be honest,

Book Review: Pouncing on Murder

For this week’s book review, we enter the surprisingly
dangerous world of librarian Minnie Hamilton in Pouncing on Murder, the latest Bookmobile Cat Mystery by Laurie
Cass. The “height-efficient” (i.e., short) Minnie lives on a houseboat in the
warmer months in Chilson, Michigan, and lives at her aunt’s boardinghouse when
it turns cold. This sounds “pretty cool,” to quote She of Little Talent.

Cats in Early Irish Law: Types of Cats

Cats and legal tracts go together like, um… Okay, I can’t
even finish that sentence because, you know, cats are not the first thing you
think of when you think of laws. But cats do show up in legal codes (think
licensing, anti-cruelty measures, and so on), and they have been showing up in
