It's Caturday!

It's Caturday, and another week has come and gone. This week, Maru, the world's favorite cat turned four, I went on a strolling adventure and recapped the first season of "My Cat From Hell", Katy Perry visited a cat cafe in Tokyo, and we all learned about Natalie's beautiful tribute tattoo to her cat, Bucky. I also kicked off a new giveaway for a custom made GhostKitties Memorial Doll, and you still have until Sunday night to enter! I have to say that the designer and I have been deeply touched by all of the comments everyone has shared so far, and I wish I could have dolls made for all of you!

In other news, I'm excited to announce that I officially registered for BlogPaws 2011! The 3rd annual pet bloggers and social media conference is being held from August 25 - 27th in Tysons Corner, VA (near Washington, D.C.), and if any fellow pet bloggers are going, please let me know so we can plan to meet up!

"His name is Cash, and he's awesome."

This week's featured Caturday feline is a gorgeous black house panther named Cash, but his owner Kaelie usually calls him Zoot!

MY JEANS

She sez: "He's a chiller, he loves to boat (you know when they tuck their little paw under and sail the sofa seas?) on jeans, if you set a pair of jeans anywhere he will find them and turn them into a perch. He's got one hockey tooth, because sometimes he's an idiot."

(I'm just going to let everyone ruminate on the term "boat" for a minute..!!!)

Cash & Kaelie. I love how he looks like a little bear!

Kaelie also tells me that Cash is "the best animal that ever lived," and who am I to argue with that? I have a deep affinity for black cats myself, and admit to being completely smitten with this guy as well.

Special thanks to Kaelie for sharing her Zoot with us this week! You can also check out her blog here.
