It's Caturday!

Welcome back for another edition of Caturday, where we catch up on the week's latest cat news, and get to know some of your amazing kitties!

This week, Dexter came out as a cat man, Bowie the CH Kitty inspired buttons, Vanessa taught us how to make a crafty kitty tee, Fashion Cats were in the spotlight, clever cats infiltrated the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Teal Cats were the new black, and I was on location with lots and lots of cats at Matilda the Algonquin Cat's Debutante Ball in NYC.

Demelza - "Pillow hoarder"

This week's featured felines come to us courtesy of Karla, who wrote in about her three awesomely named cats, Demelza, Ruggles, and Pud.


Ruggles - "Close call"

She says:

Ruggles is 4-years-old, Demelza is 1, and Pud is 11. They are all indoor kitties that rule the roost in Auburn, Maine.

Pud - "Independent businesswoman"

Ruggles and Demelza are the Bonnie and Clyde of the household. Pud holds her own, but could care less. ;-) Demelza is the only shelter kitty, though Ruggles was a day away from being one. They all try to sleep with us in their own way - Pud at our feet, Ruggles on top of us, and Demelza on MY pillow.

Karla, those sound like purrfect sleeping arrangements to me...and you must save a lot on your heating bills during those cold Maine nights! Special thanks for sharing your pics, and for introducing us to your kitty collective this week!

Tazzy

And finally, in a bit of sad news, I hope you will take a moment and join me in sending our deepest condolences to Catsparella reader Kriz and her family, who lost their beloved one-year-old kitty Tazzy on August 1st after she was attacked by a dog.

Kriz remembers:

Tazzy was a very special kitty, almost human like in her behavior. If we were gardening, painting, sewing, doing anything active, she was right there. She would even huff and puff when she was upset - She cooed like a bird. She would sleep with us and want to snuggle and get petted during the night. She was the life of the household. Now the house feels lonely without her spunky self around. We are devastated over her death and the way it happened. We have five more cats, but she was so different than the rest of them, so overly unique. She loved to curl up in our bathroom sink and take naps.
