Stewie (New York State, USA) went to great lengths to get his humans all into the living room, meowing and rubbing their legs. In there, he can keep watch on them. Now that this is done, he can finally sleep.
We are committed to journalistic integrity at Cat News, so we must report that last night our CEO engaged in some wanton vandalism. Pippin (BC, Canada) chose to throw a mug on the floor, smashing it into many pieces, right in front of the Cat News Editor. We hope he wasn’t sending a message.
Today marks one year of Cat News being on Mastodon, and we just want to say thank you to everyone for being so welcoming, its been really fun here. This feels like a special kind of social media. Extra thanks to all the cats here who have reported in and told us their news so we could draw them.
Pippin (BC, Canada) thinks that this is enough internet for today and it is now time to pet a cat. Please step away from your device and find something small and fluffy.
Kelly (Ontario, Canada) has a perfectly good (and fancy) cat house to sleep in. Regardless, she prefers to sit next to it on the hard floorboards. She considers it more of a nice backdrop for her, than a real resting place.
LeeLoo (Pacific Northwest) says its cool to live life on the edge. In fact she is living life on the edge twice as much as anyone else as she stands on the edge of two armchairs at once.
No one knows where Tulip (Dorset, UK) went today, at least, no one except Tulip. What is known is that she came home extremely muddy, and left little muddy paw prints all over the kitchen. She is not concerned about that though, she is only concerned about licking her paws clean again.
A sneaky little someone tried to steal something from the kitchen table while the humans were eating. Unfortunately for Penni (Washington, USA) all she managed to get was a straw in its paper wrapper, not a tasty treat.
Its been cold the last few days, and that means that our CEO cat Pippin (BC, Canada) has been a real cuddle-bug to keep his humans warm (or steal their warmth). He has been sitting on them for hours! Even when they should have been drawing cats!
There's a new pain drug for cats - they get one shot per month for at least two months. Izzy "Starr" Izzborne, Purrst of His Name (California, USA), is getting them because he has arthritis, and he seems to be improving quite a bit - running around chasing his brother as fast as he can, and even "combing" his fur.
In case you ever wondered if our CEO cat Pippin (BC, Canada) helps with the drawing process at Cat News, we can confirm that he thinks he is helpful. Regardless, he is at least involved.
Roo (Alberta, Canada) misses her hooman when they’re not in the house. To stay close to them until they get home, Roo settles in with their sandals. In a sunbeam, of course.
The humans like to hide snacks around the living room for Pippin (BC, Canada) to hunt and find. Normally he rushes to find them all as fast as possible. The other day however he decided he didn’t like the snacks on offer and just left all them all. Now there are a lot of abandoned snacks hidden in the room, but that’s the humans’ problem.
Cat News recently spoke to #NASA about the work of Taters (California, USA) on the Deep Space Optical Communications experiment. Taters took on the role of Laser Motion Analytics and Close To Capture Specialist, for the mission, which saw an ultra-high definition video of him chasing a laser-dot streamed, via lasers, 31m km (19m miles).
Dougal (Wicklow, Ireland) settled immediately into a new box, the first chance he had, but the way it is straining at the seams indicates it might not last long enough for him to get used to this one.
Kevin (BC, Canada) has been keeping his socks very clean lately, and would like the younger humans to please stop touching them. They don’t understand that it takes a lot of work to keep his little feet perfect.
There was a lot of commotion coming from the bathroom. Apparently Joe (Missouri, USA) had knocked over all of the shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower like it was a bowling alley.
The humans dropped food off the table once, and now every time they eat, Pugsly (Vermont, USA) sits underneath the table. You never know when they might do it again, and he is going to be ready.
Harvey (Pennsylvania, USA) is very certain there is something of interest inside the entrance hallway closet. He likes to go in there and be among the coats, waiting for… something. Cat News is hoping for an update if that something is ever discovered.
Dinner isn’t coming fast enough, and unable to stand being ignored, Roland (Greater London, UK) has decided to ignore his human back. He is now sitting with his back to them.
