Your Honor, would this face lie?

The face that launched a thousand ships

You can tell I love my mother because I have an "M" on my forehead.

Lenny knows that the camera loves him, and especially loves his leather pads and black velvet under-paw.

"Hey guys! It's me, Lenny (or Aslan).  I'm available for adoption at Toronto Cat Rescue!  
Just imagine if you brought a sweetie over to your pad and s/he saw this mug waiting for you.  
That's why they call me the wife-catcher. 
See my profile here! I hope you pick me."

Cat Lady of Parkdale sez: In a just society, we owners would be advertising ourselves on line for the cats to choose from!  Please support TCR by adopting, fostering, volunteering or donating!  Thank you.

Wiz Khalifa pays homage to white and orange cats

Yeah... uh huh... you know what it is:
White and Orange! White and Orange
White and Orange! White and Orange!
















Repping Parkdale when you see me 
in my creamsicle coat.
White and orange! White and orange!
White and orange! White and orange!

Yeah... uh huh... you know what it is
Errything I do, I do it big!


Yeah... uh huh... mewing "that's nothing! 
when I show you my claws - that's stunting." 

I put it down from my tail
to the collar i'm in.
White and orange! White and orange!
White and orange! White and orange!

















     Stay cute like how I'm supposed to do
that crown underneath the clouds can't get close to you
and this kitty might look unapproachable
super clean but I'm super keen!

Yeah... uh huh... you know what it is
White and Orange! White and Orange!
White and Orange! White and Orange!



Thank you so much to Margaret for these incredible kitty pics.

hey yeah i'm the tax man

A very portly and intelligent Camille helps Parker do her taxes in BC.


Once referred to by my sister as "the most beautiful cat I've ever seen", Camille Hewes not only has the beauty, body and brains demonstrated in this picture, she also has an exceptionally loving personality, incredibly soft fur and a beautiful, melodic purr.  This kit's really got it all.

Coloured noses.

Q: D'y'know what's cute?

A: When cats have coloured noses.

This guy knows what I'm talking about!

This guy DEFINITELY knows what I'm talking about!

It makes me happy.

And apparently it makes this guy happy too.

Thank you to the inimitable Margaret Kwan for the tuxedo cat straight "chillen: on da pavements, and to my best bud Sarah Colleen Dillon for capturing mi amorato on Spencer Ave.

White Cats



In the clear gold of sunlight, stretching their backs,
Closing eyes jealous of their inner glooms,
Slumbering in the tepid warmth of their illumined fur.


For since then their dazzling and inestimable whiteness
Ennobles them to a rank of calm contempt,
Indifferent to everything but Light itself!

The Seventy-Five Praises of RA


Praise be to thee, O Ra, exalted Sekhem,
Thou art the Great Cat, the avenger of the gods
And the judge of words and the president of
The sovereign chiefs and the governor of the
Holy Circle; thou are indeed the bodies of the
Great Cat.

From THE SEVENTY-FIVE PRAISES OF RA inscribed on the walls of royal tombs of Thebes in Egypt (c 1200-1100 B.C.E.)

Thank you to Sarah for taking this pic of me worshipping this cat god on Cowan Ave.

Cat craze.

So the newest craze in cat culture is getting portraits of your cats commissioned in order to prove your undying love and devotion to them.  Without these art works, your cats WILL NOT KNOW you love them!  

Take Brenda here, for instance.  My parents had Bren-Bren immortalized by local textile artist Margaret Butt (yeah, I said it).  Margaret rug-hooked Brenda's likeness onto a chair pad - that Brenda now sits on!  It's the ultimate luxury for little Brenda.  

I mean, look how insecure and sad Brenda looked before we had her portrait taken: 


 She is not certain we love her enough!!!  

But when she saw herself lovingly portrayed in recycled fibres....


She totally knew she was loved.
haha, that wasn't even the photo that Margaret used for Brenda!  She just always looks like that!!  So cute.

Gotta let you COP fans know that the bio-pic about my life, called The Cat Blog, is coming to theatres soons!  I'll be played by Jessica Alba and Tatum Channing's gonna be Kam.  Don't worry - when the bottom falls out of the cat blog boom, I'll work it all out in art therapy.  Happy 420 y'all!
