Cats

Love Bites

Not That Mike The Other Mike4 Comments

Could your cat be… a vampire? Tired of hanging around in belfries, today’s modern vampire often assumes the form of a common house cat to better feast on its unwitting prey. Here are some signs your tabby may be one of the bloodthirsty undead:

  • Sleeps in daytime; active only at night
  • Allergic to garlic unless lightly sautéed
  • Shows inordinate interest in your blood type
  • Constantly demands Count Chocula for breakfast
two cats lie together on a bedspread. One cat rests its nose on the neck of the other cat, who looks alarmed.
(No wonder I wake up feeling drained.)

Miri and the Suspicious Snack

Hana knows what to do when presented with a delicious snack, but Kitten Miri isn’t quite so sure. Perhaps a snack of grass from the backyard is more her taste. (via Andrew Y.)
