I hope you don’t mind that I am reporting from the Master Bathroom today! But it has been dark and overcast the past couple of days, and this was the only room with halfway decent light.
This week’s Caturday Report contains a variety of topics, both silly and serious, plus awesome posts from a couple of my blogging pals, like always!
- Researchers are urging veterinary schools to adopt a more efficient form of spaying kitties! Right now, many are doing it oldschool. Here’s why the newer way is better.
- Want to play with shelter kitties, but you’re stuck in front of computer? You still can with the iPet Companion. Mashable describes it as “like OKCupid but with cats.” I say, it’s better than OKCupid!
- That bastion of hard news, MTV, looks a new mini documentary… of Taylor Swift filming her cat Olivia sitting on her hind legs!
- Have you kitties considered a raw food diet? Christy Paws shows you how to make it in this awesomely detailed post!
- If you run across a stray cat, do you know you might be able to get it scanned for a microchip for free? The Sometimes Cats Herd You blog tells you where you can ask.
I’ve had quite a week! Check it out:
- I competed in a cat show this past weekend… but I’m more interested in showing you the cool hotel room I stayed in!
- When my human needed some photos of us kitties for a story she was writing, she did not count on an uncooperative tortie messing things up.
- I got serious for my Earth Day post.
- Then I got a whole lot less serious for a post full of fun outtakes… and a few good takes!
- We ended the week with Boodie getting Furminated for Hairball Awareness Day — and I offered some deshedding tips for you humans.
If you see a good cat-oriented news item around the internet, send me a link and I may include it next week!

See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
You sure know how to be entertaining and serious. We love reading all the wrapups so we can play catch up with Summer!!
a busy week for you Miss Summer and we have read most of those post. Great recap
You dear child had a durry busy week and how does yous and your human keeps up? And on a side note, the article on cat spaying has a link to a artist who makes paper mosaics and my Mommy (who is ALWAYS distracted by art) ended up side tracked for a half hour!
Kisses
Nellie
BTW The artist is Mary Wells
Summer, Thanks once again for the round up! I missed some stuff this week! Mum’s just ordering a furminator for me so those tips were excellent! I couldn’t get the Taylor Swift video (think I’m too foreign!) What’s that Ipet thing all about? MOL AND I think I am developing rather a soft spot for Binga – but don’t tell her, k!! xx
WE think it rocks way better than OKCupid too! And our mom is ticked off because of the rain – it cancelled her ResQwalk today!
Great report as always Summer!
We liked the spay article.
The others were good too 🙂
Purrs Georgia and Julie,

Very inneresting report but they said the Taylor Swift video wasn’t available. I don’t like her anyhoo so it wasn’t a big deal but someone else might.

Thanks for catching us up, Summer! We always appreciate your Saturday posts, so we can read what we missed during the work week. 🙂
That new spay technique article was especially interesting. Sounds like a win-win all the way around.
Mum was very busy (and we were very “offline”) this week, we thank you for your report ! Purrs
I might have to start listening to more Taylor Swift music…
Super report today beautiful Summer! I missed a few of those too!
Great round-up. I loved Christy Paws post on raw diets, I want to try that someday for my kitties.
OH! I missed one I see. Let me go back and look at Boodie.
Great report Summer! We’re all fur quick spaying here! Taylor’s cat is a sweetie!
You worked again a lot for your caturday report ! The females here are spayed by lazer surgery. I picked up Rosie a couple of hours later at the vet. She just had a little stamp like looking shaved spot and in the middle was one red point. No stitches at all ! I was so surprised about this new method !
