I was getting ready to put together my usual serious (or at least semi-serious) collection of cat news… but there were so many good April Fools posts involving cats that I decided to share my favorites instead! Sadly, they are all false.
If you want something with a little more meat (although there’s no chicken), I’ve also included a couple of cool posts from my fellow cat bloggers.
- This one was a real attention getter — it’s a mashup of Groupon, Uber and cats: ta-da, it’s Grøüber, cats who drive you to your Groupon deals.
- The city of Colorado Springs is planning the world’s first cat park… or maybe not.
- Cat cafes? That is so last year! Japan is already on the next trend: cat nightclubs! Sadly, that wasn’t true either.
- My friends over at Pawesome Cats write about cats doing agility drills. Yes, that’s very real, and no, it’s not going to be part of my repertoire of skills. (My human claims I’m too lazy.)
- And finally, Ashton over at the Cats Herd You blog explains the importance of making sure your cat has ID.
This has been quite a busy (and fun!) week for me.
- I started off by having a giveaway for a copy of the hilarious new book Texts From Mittens! And texted with Binga too! There is still time to enter.
- I spent last weekend at a cat show in Palm Springs. I really enjoyed myself, and I even got a few ribbons!
- For a while there, I thought my human was going to trade me in for a bunny!
- Here is a fun Throwback Thursday post — it shows me competing in cat shows as a kitten. Big difference from now!
- I ended the week by supervising my human while she put together packages from the Rescued Pubslush campaign (in fact, we are still working on them). And I have to admit, I’m still learning this supervising thing.
If you see a good cat-oriented news item around the internet, send me a link and I may include it next week!

I have a microship and it´s updated so if I ever get lost , they can found my humans 🙂

That Groupon/Grouber one is hilarious! Happy Easter to you Summer, we hope the Easter Bunny is good to you and Binga and Boodie!
We loved all the April Fool’s jokes, Summer. We actually fell for a couple of them.
I have the ID to get me into that kitty nightclub. Tell any cat who doesn’t have ID to let me know cos I have some for sale.
Excellent roundup Summer.
Great round up. You always find things we missed.
There’s no fool like an April fool!! Thanks for the round up, Summer 🙂
I don’t do April Fools Day pranks but you did good
All the April Fools were fun.
The Grouber site is so funny. We enjoyed the Colorado Springs Cat Park and Cat Nightclub articles too. It was good to catch up on what we missed with you, Summer.
April Fools is so much fun!
Meowmy had to go to her work, and trust us there was no fooling round there…OMC!

Great report as usual Summer. Lots of good April Fool’s stuff. Have a great day.
We’ve been so behind with everything in the blogging world this week — this report has helped to get us caught up. Thanks, Summer!!!
Another great Caturday post, Summer!
Purrs,

Wouldn’t it be cool if the nightclub thing was REAL? I can see Boodie with a lampshade on her head!!
Great round up s always- I don’t know how you do it all.
Summer your research and reporting skills are top knotch!
Hugs Madi your bfff
Dang, I was hoping the nightclub thing was a true one!
Hey summer i know this has nothing to do with this article but there is something going on your website when I am on my I phone it keeps spamming me with apps. For example when I scroll down it keeps bring me to the AppStore 😩 it is soooo frustrating!! So I think that some of the advertisments on your website are being a bit sneaking and doing this behind your back. Could you fix this !!???😃
I know about this problem, and it is making my human crazy! We are trying to figure out where it is coming from so it can be fixed.
Thanks for the reminder! We have to sneak Mom’s credit card out of her wallet to order “Rescued”.
Thanks for the shout out, there were some great April Fools jokes this year!
What a week huh? We loved your April Fools HA-HA’s too! Hope you have a grand weekend Summer…….
Love, Sammy
MOL! How funny! We think these are all excellent choices for today.
We loved all the April Fool pranks Summer and so did our Mum!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
