Hello Friends,
Alberto here with my weekly purrrusal of the web. I hope you enjoy this week”s stories and Happy Valentine’s Day. Also, one note. My purrsonal assistant did not have access to her usual technology today so, if the formatting is a bit wonky, she asks that you bear with her. (It’s hard to find good help these days, sigh).
Nine of the World’s Hardest Working Cats – Mother Nature Network
Finally more of you humans are getting wise to one of my favorite subjects…working cats. I found some new listings in this article. The cat above works security in a warehouse. There’s a gym cat and my favorite, the weather cat. You humans need to explore the full potential of your felines. We’re quite talented you know.
Poodle Cats are a Breed – Romper
My readers know I and the rest of The Tribe of Five, are adamant proponents of adoption so this “breed”. thing isn’t something I usually talk about, This one is interesting though because thought the only poodles were canines. And, these curly kitties came from great stock, a feral cat in Montana, whose litter included one very curly haired kitten.
A Persian breeder adopted the kitten and named her “Miss DePesto” after a curly haired television character and the rest, is hiss-story.
Cats on Glass NYC Pop Up for a Good Cause – Lonely Planet
All you feline lovers in NYC rejoice! This event isn’t only cool, it’s for a good cause. Each room in the pop-up exhibit will feature an element of cats and an element of glass. There will be a live “Cats on Glass Playhouse” too! The pop-up will feature a “larger-than-life cat display”, a yarn pom-pom room, a meditation room with the sounds of cats purring and more. If you’re truly interested in bringing a kitty into your family, you can play with cats that can be adopted. And donations will be taken for the Humane Society of New York.
Sometimes You Don’t Even Have to Do Anything to Be a Famous Feline – People
Meet Paws the Cat, a Minnesota feline with 28furry digits and now included in the Guinness book of world records. Meowza, I bet he can make those furry toy mice fly! Paws is. Polydactyl feline. Sometimes these cats are called Hemmingway cats because the author kept a tribe of extra toed kitties at his Florida home.
Larry The Number 10 Downing Street Cat Terrible at Rodent Control – Mirror.co
Purrhaps this piece should be called, “Cats in danger of losing their jobs” Seems the British PM is no great fan of Larry and recently exterminators had to be called in to 10 Downing Street to deal with the vermin problem.
The mirror reports that, “…the brown and white tabby is often found sleeping in the street or, at his most energetic, fighting with other Westminster felines, including the Foreign Office’s cat Palmerston.” Larry, my friend, you’d better check your contract or you might be looking for a new job!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you 5 and your staff, too!

I don’t even know where to start … working cats, poodle cats, non-working cat … I’m in awe of you finding so much great and diverse content every week! I have to laugh at Larry, the non-working cat. For years, Kitty ignored the mice in my father’s house. All of a sudden, when she was 9 or 10, she started mousing. It’s fun to speculate what changed!

I sympathize with poor Larry. We’ve had to hire an exterminator TWICE. Five cats in the house and they’re useless at hunting.

Thank you! I send my purrsonal assistant far and wide on the web to find feline articles that are different and interesting. You should see the ones I reject!

Larry needs to stop acting like a regular politician and get to work. (or maybe he doesn’t like this PM)

I know, right? I don’t think Larry understands that purrlitical positions are less than stable!
