Please enjoy the following videos, because for some reason, enough people thought that scaring their cats with cucumbers was funny to create a compilation.

In other news, if you never hear from me again, my laser eye surgery has gone horribly wrong and I’m blind for life. On the other hand, if I post next Monday, I will be spectacularly glasses-free. Wish me luck!

Who “owns” who?

This cat is certainly smarter than its owner:

Truths About Critiques

Click here for an amazing page of incredible art and masterful portrayals of expression to convey a humorous and enjoyable webcomic page about a child’s first art critique.

Seriously though, it’s amazing.

I love it. It’s relatable to anyone who has ever been a neophyte at anything. We create this thing that we think is amazing, take it to the seasoned veteran for appraisal, and…

Well, hopeful our first critiques weren’t that bad (although some are bound to be), but we’ll catch the gist (maybe), while not really understanding much, and if we’re blessed, we’ll take it constructively, laugh, and do better next time. And our mentors, while strict, will secretly smile at our successes and urge us to do better.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! (Especially my fellow Canadians, since it’s actually Thanksgiving for us, but the well-wish stands for everyone else too!)

I was lucky enough to spend last night with my family and an abundance of delicious food. I ate SO much turkey.

Fat flat cat

I regret nothing.

Thanksgiving is a time to remember all we’re thankful for. In reality, we should be remembering those things every day. I am healthy, I am loved, and I have enough of everything to live comfortably. I may stress about money or future plans, because I’m human and I forget that serenity is found in being thankful for what I have.

How about you, readers? Any thoughts? Of that feels too serious for you right now, we can always go down to a simpler question: turkey or ham? Pick a side! (Turkey for me.)

What do you think? Is the mouse a troll, or is he just distracting the cat while his pals raid the pantry in the back?

Bubba the Cat Has Become a California High School’s Star Pupil

Bubba lives near Leland High School in San Jose, California and he loves going to school. Every day he’ll venture out, get treats from his favorite teachers and hang out with friends until the school day is over and everyone has gone home. He started by following his owner Matthew to the nearby Bret Harte Middle School and graduated to Leland High School with him. He has since dedicated himself to getting a good education.

Cats Are Better Than Dogs

…Or at least we haven’t bred as many deformities into them yet.

Cunning Cats Forced Dogs To Evolve… Or Go Extinct
IFLS wrote the above article, summarizing how when cats came to North America, their superior predatory skills forced the dogs already living there to either adapt and improve or go extinct. Both cats and dogs are powerful predators and exclusive carnivores, so in the wild, they’re in direct competition with one another. Scientists compare this extinction/adaptation result to be on par with what you see from drastic climate changes.

Nature has always done a pretty good job of keeping things balanced. Then, along came humans…
Dogs are their primary victims. I know lots of people like the various breeds, like pugs and bulldogs, but the truth it, they’re being bred into helplessness. We’re exaggerating traits for aesthetic effects (and frequently inbreeding them in the process), and this is having a detrimental effect on their health and well-being. Wanna see the worst of them?

Yoda the world's ugliest dog

Of course, cats have suffered from our tampering too…

Don’t get me started on those short-legged cats they’ve been breeding… Animals are beautiful the way they are. A little selective breeding is fine (great, even!) but when it causes health problems and other detrimental side effects? I disagree with that path.

Oh yes, and cats rule, dogs drool. ;)
