Bun Bun

Ok, Bun Bun is obviously not a cat but he is so cute that I just had to post him. He is my brother's girlfriend Nina's bunny. Bun Bun is really small even though he is full grown and he is litter trained!

Mistoffelees, a.k.a. Missy

Here is Mistoffelees (or Missy), my mom's cat who was found in my friend's dad's yard. She loves to sit in laps and gets so relaxed that she drools everywhere.

Claudius

Last night I went to a party at my friend Eva's new apartment in Kensington. Her cute cat, Claudius, managed to look after (and sit on) the coats in the bedroom while also taking the time to mingle with the guests :)

Candy Cat

I have been trying to meet this cat for months. He lives at Economy Candy on the Lower East Side. I go to this store pretty regularly to satisfy my sweet tooth (and need for obscure/old-fashioned/imported candies) and was once told by an employee that a cat lives there. The problem is, the store is so packed with yummy stuff that it is hard to find the cat! But today I was lucky enough to have my first sighting when Candy Cat sashayed through the crowd. (He looks like he's been enjoying a bit of candy, too, doesn't he?)

Dunn

I met Dunn a few years ago when my boyfriend's friend Dan adopted him. He lives with Dan, Katie and Hank in Crown Heights. Dunn's eye is sick, but he's seen a vet and a cat optometrist (wow!) and they said it should be better soon.

Hank

This is Hank. He lives in Crown Heights with Dan and Katie. He is very big, as you can see in the picture above (with the beer bottle providing some scale), and has very pretty markings, as shown below.

Surprise Cat

To balance off my last post that featured a homeless cat which made me feel so sad, here is a cat with a home.  I saw this cat in Bed-Stuy also on my way home from seeing the Dyker Heights lights.  We stopped because my boyfriend saw a cat run under a car.  I looked and looked for the cat, but couldn't find it.  Just as we were about to continue on our bike ride home, I looked up and saw this cat watching us from it's window!

Change-of-Heart Kitten

Last night, my boyfriend and I rode our tandem bike to Dyker Heights to see the Christmas lights.  On our way home, we passed through Bushwick where we saw this little kitten.  It was frightened at first and hid under a car, but I lured it out to get a (poor quality) picture.  I guess the kitten decided that we were nice people because as I went to get back on the bike, the kitten ran in front of us and meowed profusely.  That made me so sad!!!  I think it wanted to go home with us.

It is cold, so adopt a shelter cat (or dog)!

Sidewalk Drawing Cat

I've always wanted to see a freshly-poured paver of sidewalk cement... I don't think I would have the guts to write anything in it, but it would be nice to have the chance. When this paver on Houston St. was poured, instead of writing his/her name this person drew a cute little cat face :)
