City Fishies

Now and then I stray from the cat theme here at City Kitties and post non-cats.  I think I've only posted mammals up until now, but I've seen this koi pond a few times in my neighborhood and decided that it is worthy of being featured.  I'm not sure if it is clear enough, but there is a particularly large, black fish just below all the small orange ones.

I wonder where they live in the winter?

Mossie

Heidi saw this cute moss cat from Dig at Atlantic Antic in Brooklyn yesterday.  Thanks, Heidi!

Mooca

Heidi and I went to my friends Justin and Shay's apartment last night for dinner and met their fantastic cat Mooca.  She used to be named Fatty, but later had a name change because she looks a bit like a cow.  (And she really isn't fat, anyway.)  She is suuuuper friendly and cuddly and hung out with us the whole night.

Traveling Cat

I know, I know, it is a pretty terrible picture, but in the tan pet box is a black-and-white kitty that I saw on the 2 train yesterday afternoon.  It was so quiet that I was pretty convinced that the box was empty until I saw it poke its little nose through one of the holes!  I felt bad for it because its human chaperon didn't pay any attention to it the whole ride :-C

Happy 4th Birthday, City Kitties!

I've never celebrated City Kitties' anniversary before, but four years ago today I took the leap by deciding to  embarrass myself and expose my cat-lady tendencies to the world.

Cats spend 12.5 hours a day sleeping, so to recognize this momentous event I'll share a couple pictures of my two favorite City Kitties in their favorite sleeping spots.

Unfortunately, Doodle loves to sleep on my sweater shelf in my closet:

Maybe I should move the sweaters to a higher shelf that he can't reach...

And here is Scribble sleeping, as always, on a bag:

To my handful of dedicated readers, thank you!  I'm looking forward to delivering more kitties to your computer screen.

Moo Shoe Cat

Heidi sent me a picture of this cat who lives on the Lower East Side in a vegan shoe store, Moo Shoes. We had actually met him and his friend before, but it is always nice to have an update :-D

Atlantic Avenue Cat

I saw this cat hanging out on Atlantic Avenue only seconds after I left the store that Fille and Mish Mush live in (see previous post)!  It is hard to see, but s/he is sitting in a tree garden (you know, the part of the sidewalk that has no paver so a tree can grow there?).  What a nice surprise :-D
