The Visitor & Other Entertainments

A garden full of sparrows, and what does she want? Caged parakeets. When I put my hand to the glass, she rubs her head against it. But she gets  quickly bored -- cold glass between her and scritches; between her and budgies. Off she goes.

As you may want to, before we're done. It's February, the longest month. [Oh, c'mon, you know what I mean!] So, what to do, what to do. Hmmm. Maybe some odd entertainment would be in order.

Like The Magic Kittens in Kompakt's Wonderland or Poor Cat, both via Ample Sanity.

Perhaps you'd like to indulge in a little kitty decoration. Here we have a variety of purchasable options (lots of new designs!) and here instructions on making your own noble fruit helmet for your cat (via boingboing.)

Hello Kitty is planning to replace guard dogs and receptionists. I knew they were planning to take over the world. If the very idea makes you feel a bit catty, you may find this useful:

A few more pleasant pastimes:

Friday Ark
I and the Bird
Carnival of the Cats
Carnival of the Dogs
Circus of the Spineless

Oh, did I mention, it's February? Don't have a calendar yet? Go here:  Cat Lovers Against the Bomb.

Be warm.
