The Caturday Report: The With-Cat Edition

October 25, 2014 By: Summer Samba33 Comments

The Caturday Report

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.

Everything is better with kitties!

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!

    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.
