Hello Friends, Furry, Feathered and Otherwise,
Alberto here. As you may have surmised by the heading that my purrrrsonal assistant has once again proven to be less than adept at meeting deadlines. Still, I have to say, she has had a lot going on so I will cut her some slack. I have asked however, that this not happen again (I am still waiting for her response).
Without further ado, I give you the feline themed gems I discovered during my wanderings through the web.

Lawyers Have Taken Over the Rally Cat Saga – NBC Sports
Some of you may remember my earlier report on the fearless feline who ran into the outfield on August 9th at the bottom of the 6th inning at Bush Stadium. One of the ground crew captured the courageous cat and the feline has weaseled his way into the hearts of Cardinal Fans. Evidently, the plan was for Rally Cat to remain with the Cardinals group, in a cushy set up and they were even planning a Rally Cat promotion.
But human lawyers have stepped in and now there is a legal battle between the Cardinal’s organization and the St. Louis Feral Cat Outreach. Evidently these outreach folks feel it’s better to keep Rally Cat in a shelter than letting him have a good home. Take it from me, my brother Oliver came from a nice no-kill shelter but we’d much rather have the furever home we have now!
Demeter’s Kitten Fur Perfume – Bustle
I’ve reported on some crazy cat-themed products, Apollo Peak Winery’s Feline Wines like Pinot Meow and Catbernet. I’ve written about Meowijuana’s cigar shaped catnip treats and other great stuff but this product is really off the charts!
Demeter has created a kitten fur-scented perfume! They say that when you sniff this concoction it captures the “olfactory essence of the warmth and comfort of that purrfect spot, just behind a kitten’s neck. This isn’t the company’s first foray into unusual scents, the first three fragrances they produced were Dirt, Grass and Tomato and they’ve since created other popular scents such as Laundromat, Gin & Tonic and Paperback.

CatCon 2017 – Pet Product News
What is this strange event you might ask? Well it’s one of the premiere Feline events in the country. This year’s event (the third annual) attracted 15,000 cat lovers for a weekend of all things feline. It was held at the Pasadena Convention Center in Los Angeles in August and featured new feline products, feline fashion and human feline themed fashion. Some of the world’s most famous felines were in attendance and the best news of the weekend….more than 150 cats and kittens were adopted during the event!
Deaf Woman Teaches Sign Language to Her Three Cats -Elite Daily
We felines have the capacity to learn so much and this story just illustrates how amazing we are (and the humans who are patient enough to teach us!)
Two paws up for this lady who is a former teacher of the American School for the Deaf. She came up with this idea after she adopted a deaf cat named Bambi. She said that since her daughters learned signs from their infancy, she thought she’s try and teach her cats.
Silva, who is deaf herself, then taught signs to her two other cats, whose behaviors would be mimicked by Bambi soon after she arrived. So far her fantastic felines understand the signs for “come”, “more”, “stay”, “circle”, “play” “shrimp and some others. It has also helped make her shy kitty more outgoing and playful. Watch these clever kitties on the video.
Crazy Cat Themed Wedding on the Isle of Man – Rock N Roll Bride
If my humans ever decide to renew their vows, this is the theme they should pick! I find the choice of the Isle of Man for the venue very clever as I am sure all my readers are well versed in cat facts and know that the Isle of Man is the home of the Manx cat.
The beautiful bride and her bridesmaids wore cat shoes, earrings a cat fur scarf and a headband with little enamel cats peeking out. There was a cat cake, cat decor, cat favors…well you get the picture! What a lovely wedding and a lovely couple. I wish them a long and prospurrrrous married life!
As a member of the senior feline society, I greatly appreciated Sister Saturday’s blog post. We more mature felines still have a lot of spunk and we also have a purpose so two paws up to you Sister Saturday !
Oh my, I had to put my paw over my mouth to keep from meowing out loud. Seems Erin’s lackey…err purrsonal assistant is as inept at gardening as our own human. Now we felines take quite an interest in things from the great outdoors and ensure that we nibble, swat and toss anything from the outdoors that is brought indoors. The female human received some beautiful yellow roses and put them in a place she thinks we cannot reach…trust me, we’re working on it!
I loved, loved this post because our humans are constantly accusing us of henios crimes such as shredding furniture, scratching wood on the doors, slobbering on the sliding glass doors and windows, etc. Finally I have something to point my paw at and say, “Seriously, you think WE’RE bad??!!”

I’ve reported on cats who work in breweries, hardware stores, for police and fire fighters and even Russian cats who work in a museum but this is my first report of a cat working in a distillery. Ricky often greets visitors in a baby blue tie. Brett Connors, the distillery’s brand ambassador, adopted Ricky when he learned that the feline had FIV — feline immunodeficiency virus — which resulted in folks passing up adopting him as they were concerned about his medical costs.
Cat Draws Pension Without Lifting a Paw – SwissInfo.ch by Susan Misicka
I’ve featured rail riding felines before and I am always interested when a feline decides to travel. This little guy gave his humans quite a fright. He hopped on a local train and traveled 30 KM (18.64 miles) to the next town. I guess the moral to this story is, if your cat goes missing, check the local train stations!
Well, I can’t think of anything better than having a sushi chef for your very own human. Jun Yoshizuki of Jun’s Kitchen prepared a fabulous hand crafted sushi meal for his cat Nagi’s birthday. He placed the beautiful sushi platter with a plate of canned cat food next to it and waited to see what Nagi would choose. I know what I would choose! If you want to see Nagi’s choice you’ll have to watch 
The Belmont firehouse in Greenville, SC has experienced a parade of strays who come and then leave but not Flame, the orange tabby. Flame wandered in as a kitten and when the Fire Chief noticed that the firemen were playing with Flame and had created a place for him to sleep. It was obvious that Flame was there to stay. Flame has his own

A Dutch photographer moved to Hong Kong and noticed something right away, seems everywhere he went there were cats. I say two paws up to these feline loving folks in Hong Kong and I might suggest that the folks in my own beloved U. S. of A get on this bandwagon!
