The news items I found this week all seem to involve humans doing something, well, human-like with cats! Some were fun, some were very serious.
You will see what I mean when you read what I have for you:
- In a stunning display of ignorance, a doctor told his pregnant patient to stop feeding a feral colony and get rid of some of her six cats. Don’t worry, pet expert and advocate Steve Dale tells the mom-to-be it is perfectly okay to be pregnant, with cats.
- As you know, cats and books go together like chicken and… um, chicken! And for today, which happens to be Hello Kitty Reading Day, MTV has some surprisingly astute book suggestions.
- If you follow the I Have Cat blog, you know that a cat cafe is opening in Oakland, CA. But did you know there’s also one coming to Denver within the month? Now you do!
- Do you have a busy kitty who could use a little direction for his energy? Maybe he could learn to run an agility course! The Playful Kitty blog shares some tips on feline agility.
- Lastly and definitely not leastly, my pal Savannah has an awesome post about cats with cerebellar hypoplasia… because there are three of them in her area that need a home! They must be placed in northern California… please spread the word!
I had a busy week but don’t worry, I took lots of time to have fun!
- I competed in a cat show while my human ran off and did other things, including attending a big benefit event for Stray Cat Alliance! My breathless report is here.
- I learned that the Twinkle Chute Tunnel is really fun! Except for one thing.
- I also took possession of the Ess, since no other kitty seemed to want it.
- Although I am training to be a certified therapy cat, in reality, I believe all cats are therapy cats. I explain why here.
- My blogging friend Coco the Couture Cat stars in a stylish new children’s book! In fact, this book was so fancy, I had to get dressed up to review it.
If you see a good cat-oriented news item around the internet, send me a link and I may include it next week!

Yikes that will teach me to jump up and down BEFORE I finish your Must Reads, Summer. Those CH cats are awesome. Apart from being wobbly they are just wonderful!!!
(Sorry)

We just read Savvy’s report from the Cat Cafe it looks SOOO exciting!!
This idiot doctor – is he still practising?!?!?!? ðŸ˜
Good job, Summer! Wish there were more cat cafes in Malaysia
Where did that doc dude go to school?? MOL! Hisses, too.
Hope those kitties get good homes, soon.
Have a great Sunday and an exciting week ahead.
MIAOW!
Grreat report as always , Summer !
What a stooopid doctor ! *hiss*
I can tell you there is a Cat CafÄ— in Copenhagen too , that my mom-person visited yesterday 🙂
Yes there will be a whole post about in some day next week 😀
XOXO
Great report, Summer! Our favorite thing was about the cat cafe in Oakland. Our human’s mom and stepdad live there, so maybe it’s time to visit! 🙂
I am so very excited about a kitty cafe opening in Denver! Will have to look it up next time I am out there! Great Caturday report again this week Summer!
Luv
Marty and Mom
We sure are huge fans of CH kitties and hope Savvy’s post helps them find loving homes!
I feel the pain of the woman in the first item. The lady who was gonna TNR the Maple cats is 6-months preggers and was told not to go near the cats. Grrrrrrr! Hiss! So much for THAT avenue.
Fantastic week!
Mommy says the book list was too funny! Summer, we think your tunnel *may* be infested with a Tortie…
May I commend you on how pert your whisker humps are?
That’s crazy the doctor would say that! I’ve actually read that it’s good to have pets while pregnant – pregnant moms with pets give birth to kids with better immune systems who are less likely to have allergies!
Excellent selection of posts for us to check out this week. Mom can’t wait for a trip to CA to check out the Cat Cafe. Summer, are you going to take up agility training so you can run the obstacle course? Please try to join us tomorrow for our Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
That is another great report Summer. I have a lot of catching up to do on it because mum hasn’t let me get online much this week.
We enjoyed all the articles this week Summer.
Purrs for the 3 cats too.
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
And another hugely informative Saturday post, Summer! May we also say that we think you have spectacular whiskers?
Purrs,
The Chans
Was that a real doctor who said that, makes one wonder because it is a load of bloody rubbish……………..
Great stories Summer! A cat cafe, how awesome! Yep, you sure do keep yourself busy, hope you get some relaxin’ in this weekend!
Another great report ! Our favorite is your post about therapy cats ! Purrs
I would be happy to have a CH kitty…but I’m not anywhere near California.
Thanks for another great cat news roundup, Summer. Can we get that stoopid doctor’s license revoked??
We can’t thank you enough for sharing the articles about cats and pregnancy, and about CH cats needing homes! We’re pawing ’em forward on our social networking accounts *hint hint* 😉 with best wishes for a happy CATurday to you and yours, Summer!
Good stuff, Summer! Thanks for keeping us up to date:)
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie

You are getting to be such a pro with your Caturday reports, Summer. Best of luck with your next cat show!
That was a great report, but that so called Doctor is an idiot.

Happy Saturday Summer! We’re going to have to do some catching up today. . . .
