Pictures of Cats from Our Readers – Ebony

Pictures of Cats from our Readers - Ebony

Steven has sent in a fun picture of his cat, Ebony, doing his stretches. Here is what he had to tell us about Ebony.

“Ebony is a one year old cat that I recently adopted along with his sister Ivory. I have a black and a white short hair. They have both brought me much joy in my life. People at work have commented how calmer I am now. Ebony was a charter at the Humane society where I adopted him. When I went into the teenage room, he was the only one that came up to me. I knew then I had to adopt him. A friend mentioned that I might consider adopting two cats as they would keep each other company when I was not at home.”

Thanks for the great picture Steven.

How Cats communicate using sound, smell and body language.

Posted by on Mar 20 2009 | Cat Facts

Jade likes to communicate regularly with us

To help you understanding your cat and develop a closer bond with them we found three articles about Cat Communication, Cat Talk and Cat Emotions that we think are worth reading. Cat Communication covers a number of ways of how your cat communicates using sound, smell and body language. It has some good diagrams to help explain things visually.

There are links from Cat Communication to Cat Chat and Cat Emotions. We found all these articles very interesting and ideal for the cat lover who would like to know more about the inner working of cats.

Here is a snippet from each article. Links to the complete articles are at the end of the post.

Cat Communication

Cats which communicate mostly with other cats use mainly on body language and scent – this is their “native language”. Their body language is subtle, but many owners and cat workers learn to read the more obvious cues.

There are at least nineteen different types of “miaow” which differ in pitch, rhythm, volume, tone, pronunciation and the situations in which they are used. The familiar purr may be used for contentment, self-reassurance or an invitation for close contact.

How to have fun with your Cat Pictures

Posted by on Mar 20 2009 | Dax, Pictures of cats

If you’re like me, you have a lot of cat pictures that you’ve taken over the years. Some images I’ve managed to get into a frame for others to enjoy. Other cat pictures I’ve put into a photo album and the rest are sitting on my hard drive or on a CD/DVD somewhere.

Besides just ordering prints and filling up my photo albums I’ve always wished there were some other fun things I could do with all the images I have of my cats. Well there are.

Furniture your cat can really sink it’s claws into.

Cat Scratched Couch

The Scratch Lounge is the kind of furniture you don’t mind letting your cat scratch to pieces.  We found this new approach to cat scratch technology while surfing around the net the other day. We liked it’s nice simple design and we knew Jade would love a box to go crazy in, stretch out or just relax in and, from what we saw, this might be her dream box. So we ordered one.

Oldest lolcats found on a 1905 postcard

Posted by on Mar 13 2009 | Funny Cats, Kittens, Pictures of cats

The lolcats trend is very popular as we all know, and every so often a really funny one comes along and you just have to laugh. Here is one that you don’t see very often.

What's delaying my dinner?

Someone has found what seems to be the oldest lolcats on a picture postcard. It was recently found in an antique shop in Seattle and was made in 1905. Interesting to see that kittens have been dealing with modern day struggles for over 100 years. Luckily the puffy sleeves are not in fashion anymore.

Here is our monthly collection of Cat Faux Paws; a series of unexpected cat-pictures. There are only a few this month. I guess the cats and the camera were being more co-operative for us this month. We hope you enjoy them. We especially like the one of Dax. Enjoy.
