Long Way Round

No, this is not Ewan McGregor’s bike riding feat, it’s a about this tabby who snuck into his master’s luggage and made the trip with him on the plane. Read the story below:


Suitcase


Seth Levy, of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. holds his 10 month old cat, Gracie Mae at home in Palm Beach Gardens, Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2008. The cat sneaked into Seth’s suitcase for a flight to Dallas/Ft. Worth and landed in Texas. At baggage claim, another passenger mistakenly grabbed the suitcase and when he returned home Gracie Mae jumped out. The traveller brought Gracie Mae back to her owner for a return flight back home, and she is doing fine.

A new kitty at No. 10

Humphrey the Prime Minister’s Cat

Who doesn’t know Humphrey the controversial kitty – accused of serial murder and then rumoured to have been banished from the Prime Minister’s residence? After having been devoid of a feline for nearly a decade, it seems like No. 10 Downing Street has a new kitty.

Reuters reports:

Sybil, named after Basil’s wife in the classic 1970s sitcom “Fawlty Towers,” has moved down from Edinburgh with Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling and his family who are living in the three-bedroomed flat above No. 10.

Named after a character in the 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers, Sybil is moving in with the Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling and his family from Edinburgh. Might the kitty get used to a new accent soon? Hehehe!

Flickr Felines

One of the various websites that take up most of my websurfing time is Flickr. I can spend all afternoon long clicking link after link of photos by people who are far more gifted than I could ever be with the camera. One of my most favourite cat photographers is Junku or Jun Kumagai. As I do not read nor speak Nihonggo (YET!) let his Flickr profile give you a proper introduction.

Junku has 5 very adorable cats namely:

Rika, Hime, Fuwari, Kin, and Nana

My personal favourite is Fuwari.

Junku is best known for his photos of ‘Airborne Cats,’ a collection of photos he took of cats that look like they’re flying. His photos are so good that you’ll see them crop up once in a while being pilfered by other people too lazy to ask for his permission.

I have yet to see a better feline fotog on flickr.

A Cat in Concert

I have pretty smart cats and with all their antics, they entertain me no end. I sometimes wonder how it would be to have a talking cat in the house, hehehe! It would be fun to hear what my little darling furry creatures have on their minds. At least three of them might be constantly thinking of food, hehehe!
A talking cat I’ll never have but how about a cat who plays the piano? I wonder if I can send one of my darlings to my old piano teacher? Hmmm…

If you think I’m losing my mind, click on this YouTube video link and see Nora, the piano player.

Nora is one of the Cats at the Raven’s Wing Studio.
