UPDATE 8.00pm: he’s back! He’s back! My humans found him… or he found them ;-)
My half-brother Grouik has not come back for 24 hours. Where are you Grouik? My human won’t let me go out now!
No seriously. I know we had a couple of fights but I miss you bro. Hope you’re ok…

Painter Heather Mattoon had the brilliant idea (not surprisingly, thanks to her cat) to paint cats in clothes.
Check her website here. There are some pretty nice paintings. You can even get a painting of your cat in clothes (think about it: a painting of your cat in clothes is so much better than actually trying to put clothes on your cat… no we don’t like it, no no).
And we can’t resist the urge of quoting the painter:
We should also be more like cats: soulful, stylish, and entirely unconcerned with others’ opinions.

Interesting article on what to give and not to give as food to your furry friends:
Also keep in mind that while dogs are omnivorous and thus more open to trying different kinds of foods. Cats, on the other hand, are carnivorous. They are not just picky about what they eat — they are constitutionally incapable of digesting some types of foods.

I am an apartment cat. I have lived most of my current life inside an apartment, sometimes without even a balcony. So I am not used to go outside. More importantly, my human is not used to let me go outside.
But I love to go outside! Today I had a lot of fun with some bugs and I slept on my humans’ deck, in the sun. I loved it.
Then I did some exercise. See?
Of course, after such efforts, I needed a nap. So did my co-worker, err, half-brother. It’s tiring watching younger cats exercising, you know.
I love my cat life :-)

When I was living in suburban Paris, summers were sometimes hot (though not like in New York). And I liked to have a little mojito! (with no alcohol inside, please!)

Speaking about Catster again, I joined several cool groups. One of them is BOCU: Brilliant Orange Cats Unite!
Great things come in orange packages.
“If it ain’t orange, it just ain’t happening.” Are you an orangie who rules the home? BOCU is a meeting place for those royal felines who are orange & white.
I usually prefer to call myself white and cream, but I’m fine with the above description so thank you guys for the invite :-)

Just came back from the vet. My human insisted on bringing me there because I had tiny red spot above the eyes.
Vet thinks it might be an allergy. Hence my half-brothers and I have to stay in the house – yes, inside – for at least two weeks. TWO WEEKS.
Geez.

Humans have delicious stuff to eat (ham, yogurt, shrimps, Philadelphia cream cheese) and also very strange habits (fruits, citrus, chocolate… and no mouse?!).
They have an interesting toy though that they call recipe books. My human has one especially for cooking cat treats. It is called “You Bake ‘Em Cat Treats”.
It comes with cookie cutters and gift bags.
Let me share with you one of the recipes I liked. Cats: do what you have to do so that your human bake some for you. Humans: Be kind to your favorite pets, bake some now ;-)
Kitty Biscotti
Ingredients:
12 oz chicken liver
1 1/2 cups soy flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Puree liver in food processor until smooth. Place liver, flour and oil in mixing bowl and mix until it achieves a smooth, brownie batter-like consistency.
- Spoon the dough onto cookie sheet and smooth with spatula until it forms a large patty approximately 1/2 inch thick. (Don’t worry about spreading to the edges of the baking sheet or pan, just aim for the correct thickness.)
- Put cookie sheet in oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Lower oven to 300 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes or so.
- Cool. Cut into cat-size biscotti bites with a knife or pizza cutter.
- Serve.
Enjoy!
