Urban Mantis

Well, to be fair I don't know what kind of bug this is.  Heidi gave me the picture last night, and said she saw it in Brooklyn.  That's a pretty fancy bug for Brooklyn!

Coddled Cats

I was walking down the street near my apartment today when I saw this adorable cat!  It was very friendly and was rubbing all over me.  When I looked up, I saw a woman laying out a TON of food for the cat... and kitty's friends.  I think they are siblings.

Despite the fact that they're homeless, they eat quite well.  The woman left them lots of real meat, along with regular cat food.

Trouble

Katie saw this kitty who lives at the vet that she brings her dogs to in Ireland.  He apparently struts around like the office is his castle and is not bothered by dogs.  Cute!

Grumpy Art

I saw this Grumpy Cat art in a cafe window on Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay yesterday morning!

Happy

I was on my way home this evening on the train when a this woman got on and sat across from me.  It didn't take long for me to discover that she had a tiny black kitten in her shopping bag (you can see kitty in her arms in above picture)!  I, of course, got suuuuper excited, and because I had a couple of adult beverages before getting on the train, I shamelessly got up to pat the kitty.  The woman couldn't speak much English, but she said "happy" when I was patting the kitten, hence the name.  Eventually the woman sitting catty-corner (lolz) to her got off the train, so I moved myself to that seat to pat the kitten some more.  I have no idea what dialect this woman speaks, but I took my chances with one of the few useful Cantonese words I know and said "mau."  She said, "you mau?" so I said "two mau," since I have two cats.  Then she proceeded to offer me the kitten.  I'm glad I hadn't drank enough to take it!

Hong Kong Cat Cafe!!!

Jimmy went to a cat cafe in Hong Kong yesterday and sent me some pictures of adorable Hong Kong babycats.  Although he liked this cat cafe, it was apparently not as awesome as the one in Tokyo where you can feed the kitties treats and they climb all over you.

Truffle

One of my Instagram followers (I think she lives in Ridgewood, which is why she started following me) sent me pictures of an adorable Persian cat today, Truffle!
