Things You Probably Don’t Need #6

Posted by Stacy in Everything Else, Home & Garden on December 10, 2008 at 1:21 pm

I don’t really even need to offer my commentary on this, do I? I’ll just use the description from What on Earth catalog instead: “Cat lovers, take a seat. An adorable kitten’s face decorates your toilet lid; viewed from above, the matching rug completes the cat’s body to hilarious effect. Soft acrylic synthetic fabric. Hand wash. Imported. Seat cover is 13″ x 16″; rug is 24″ x 25″.”

World’s Oldest Cat Turns 125 in Cat Years

Posted by Jill Harness in Animal, Odd News, World Records on December 5, 2008 at 1:33 am

Mischief, the world’s oldest cat, just turned 27 years old. He’s still very active, but has been slowing a little in the last years. His owner, Mr. Thorne, got Mischief when he was only a few months old.

He’s still got two good years to go if he wants to be the oldest living cat ever though, as the current record stands at 29.

Update: He’s got at least a good 98 years to go before he catches up to the world’s oldest living animal, Jonathan the tortoise. If you click the link, you’ll see a great picture of Jonathan from 1900, when he was already around 75.

Oldest LOL Cat Revealed

Posted by Jill Harness in Animal, Funny, Odd News, Pictures on December 1, 2008 at 6:02 pm

A fan of I Can Has Cheezburger sent them this delightful postcard he found in an antique store. The print is from 1905.  The grammar may have been nicer back then, but those poor LOL Kitties are have been being denied food for over 100 years. What a shame. I think someone needs to start a charity organization to get kitties cheezburgers once and for all.

Some creative person has taken the time to build a neat cat house that looks like a ghetto blaster.

What do you think your cat would prefer, taking a nap in a boombox or roll around on a Cat Spa?

Cat Spa

Posted by GeekAlerts in Animal on November 24, 2007 at 5:02 am

Now you can have your cat saying “I’m thankful for my Spa” for next Thanksgiving.

When introduced to the Cat Spa, most cats react immediately approaching it, rubbing or rolling on it, or biting on the gum stimulator. You’ll be amazed!
