Carnival of the Cats #178
Okay, one thing I'd like to ask before we get everything underway...when you are done oooo-ing and ahhh-ing over our wonderful collection of Web-Based Feline Wonderfullness, you might want to check out This Post about a true Carnival of the Cats: The Moscow Cats Theatre. When you're done with these, of course!
Well, here we are again! One big, happy, blogging, feline family. Welcome to StrangeRanger. The residents cats are delighted to have you back! All right, Maddie, Ivy, are you ready to present the Carnival?!
Um, girls, are you awake?
Maddie?
Ivy??
Oh well, it looks like I'm on my own. At least they are napping peacefully in the same vicinity. Maybe there's hope... Let's get this Carnival started!
At least one cat at Howling Hill waits patiently for spaghetti and yummy veggies, and one cat at Elisson's (Hooray Ha!) avoids the crowd at the food bowl. Ivy and Maddie raid each others bowls. They never share.
Heather may not realize it, but Minga is helping. Minga is supervising.
Biscuit helps sort out the dresser drawer.
Surfer Sam presents Bingo and bad cat jokes.
Over at the Poor Mouth, Robyn and Bebe intermingle.
Menstrual Poetry discusses the aftermath of getting fixed. We hope Devin has an easier time of it from now on.
Jax finds camoflague and a nap in the Texas oasis.
The Scratching Post's maximum leader is caught with catnip and is left holding the bag! Great video!
Anastasia celebrates her gotchaversary with the rest of her Crazy Meezer family. Many Happy Returns of the Day, 'Stasia!
Manx News presents a Tuxedo Multiple-Cat Test. There are NO wrong answers!
A very proper, polite, and welcoming cat is Miss Caitie.
Enrevanche's Mister Gato changes levels and delights his humans.
Rahel presents us with an embarrassment of riches; two pictures and three cats.
Tummies are shown and Intruders are investigated in the realm of Composite Drawings. I love the pics of the investigating cats. Loads of personality.
We won't have to work hard to Chase Grace. She doesn't look like she's going anywhere.
Don't let him fool you: Coby's Chi is imperturbable.
Dolphin's Dock shows us The Three Whiskateers. En Garde!
The Divine Miss Marilyn comes out of hiding and gets on Leslie's Omnibus.
Ignore the title of the post! There is NEVER Too Much Kitten Cuteness. Ever.
Perfectly Parker is perfectly pretty, even if she is wordless.
Dinah and the Mites seem to have a full house. Lots of fun learning to use the feetsies.
Wish I'd had KC around when I set up the new computer. I could have used the help!
Kat's Cat of the Day presents Inky. Chez-Ranger hopes Inky gets a forever home soon.
More wordlessness from the whole crew at Momma Grace and Company.
The PooBox Clan House of Mischief has much news, including the amazing Merlin Kitchen on Mars! And Maddie offers symapthies on Merlins plight. Maddie, too, is the size of a small mountain lion.
Rafe recovers, but still thinks No Deep Thoughts.
Not quite to the point Howard Cosell should call it, but Bonnie and Victor have a difference of opinion. Maddie and Ivy haven't gotten this physical in a while, thank goodness.
Life From a Cat's Perspective is sometimes wordless.
Sissy Willis shows us Baby Cakes exhibiting that most typical of cat beliefs: In a cat's eyes, all things belong to cats.
Peach Man is happy that his Momma came home!
House of Chaos presents some well-ordered thoughts on cats and their capacity for love. We wish Zorro a speedy recovery, and commend Hrimnir for his tender attention to the ol' grouch.
It's portrait day, and Pet's Garden Blog has plenty.
RambleStrip gets into the act with homegrown Lolcats!
Well, that about wraps it up for this edition of the Carnival. As always, thanks to Laurence, the GodFather of Cat-blogging, for letting us host.
If I've missed anyone or messed anything up, charge it to my head and not my heart. Let me know and I'll get it fixed. I'm going to join my two girls on the couch for a nap now... Thanks for visiting!
SUPER carnival!! Congrats! I love the napping photos. Perfect for this time of day, for sure.
I never tire of looking through all the links. Such fun on a Sunday afternoon (or sometimes evening)!
