Fuzzy Cat

My good friend Heidi sent me this fuzzy picture of a little cat that she saw in Woodside, Queens this weekend!

I saw this sticker at the corner of West Street and Murray Street earlier today... I can't decide if it is being rude or cute. It reminds me of Spolem in Ridgewood, whose "alternate" name appears on this sticker.

Cheer Up Cat's Friend

Bastet, the Goddess of Cats, must know that I've been in need of a bit of a distraction in the past 24 hours. That must be why, when I was walking up 18th Ave. to my laundromat, she summoned Cheer Up Cat again, along with his friend, above, who was eating food out of a Friskies can.

I'm glad someone's taking care of them--they might be that breed that is rare in New York City: the outdoor cat pet.

Sometimes when life is crappy, the crappiness can be briefly interrupted by a nice little cat like the one I saw on 18th Ave on my way home this evening.

Happy 6th Birthday, Scribble!

Today Scribble turns 6!  It is so hard for me to believe; I remember when she was just a tiny kitten.  We celebrated this morning with a lovely tuna breakfast.  Scrib tends to really take her time when she eats, but she gobbled it all up!

She also spent the eve of her birthday relaxing in the bedbowl:

Mural Cats

Last summer I saw a bunch of kids painting this mural on Chambers Street just east of West Street in Tribeca, but I never noticed until today how many cats are in it!--Many of them are Cheshire cats, because the mural is an Alice in Wonderland theme.  Here are a few examples; it would have been way too many pictures to post all of them.

And this one, below, has four cats in it! See if you can find them all.

Subway Graffiti Cat

I was waiting for the R train on the downtown platform at 8th Street earlier today when I saw this little cat face on the trash bin. Very cute!
