wouldn't your life be better with two giant tuxes in it?

Bonded brother and sister pair Angel (above) and Guiness (below) are ready to be adopted at Toronto Cat Rescue!

Beautiful rolly polly cuties!

A sad thing.

STEPH HOFF doesn't even live in Toronto anymore (boo!) but she still contributes beautiful pictures to COP.  A lost cat of Vancouver! Keep your eyes out for Scully!

Song For Mourning a Cat

You became wild, you became a street cat!

Did you not fly around my heart like a nightingale?

No longer is your beauty a revelation,

Your face no longer a place of worship.

Your former tenderness grew coarse,

What were your fineries, became torn…

How can your beauty betray itself,

How can wine turn to quinine?

I’m afraid for you – decorated with jewelry –

And now you’ve become like a gypsy

Prostituting herself.

An existentialist cat roaming the streets at night –

But who’s still dreaming of you?

Parisian bone yard cats

Wouldn't you be comforted to know that after you give ghost you will have a fantastic fox monument on which the toughest French tom cats bask in the sun?  Sounds like heaven to moi!

My friend Andrea and her cat loving friend (seen here) went to Paris and captured this incredible cat Cemetery phenomenon!  I love that this snoozing black beauty let her scratch his crown.  

going viral rite now

what could be cuter than a cat mom spooning her kitten who is having a hunting dream?

when she hugs the kitten to her breast at 00:34!!

i gotta make some lifestyle changes

the power of prayer

Remember how I posted a few weeks ago that my bro Joey was missing his cat-bro Joey JR??????

Well, it is a testament to the power of a simple cat lady's prayers, as well as to the tireless humane society website surfing of a desperate Dad that JOEY JUNIOR HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you Joey!

This almost makes up for the daily trips to the humane society that me, my sis and my mom took when I was 8 and we lost Shirley.  Listening to Les Mis on cassette and crying out the window.  Good family.

call to arms

Thanks Mikey.

do you recall?

do you remember a few months back there was a beautiful, full figured gentleman cat named Jang featured on this very blog?  No?  Well, maybe this will jog your memory:

OH YEAH!!!  That beautiful creature!

Well, Jang is so incredibly photogenic and pleasurable to look at, that he now has his own blog!  Rejoice!  

Just Jang: Visions of Jonathan

We all suspected it, and now it's confirmed - Jang's a feminist!!!  "Woman's Wisdom"!!  Great half paw tuck.

so debonaire. 

Jang's mama Cara sure makes a mean blog!

Top hat kitty

This kitten has a permanent top hat!  

I'm really strapped for Parkdale cat pictures right now and so am resorting to posting international web superstars like this masterpiece above.  It's pretty sad though because I am seeing so many great Parkdale cats every day, but have no camera with which to bring them from Parkdale through my eye holes through your screens to your eye holes.  So please send me your Parkdale kitty or Parkdale kitty related pics!  I will lurve you forever!
