How many of you have seen Matilda at the Algonquin?

Whether you have or haven't, check out this N.Y. Times story on Matilda's new limitations on roaming (here). 

I read the story to Shadow, who simply sniffed and wandered off.  Grace, on the other hand, didn't even pause to hear the news.

Jack Ayer is right about (among other things) cell phones and cats.

See here.

From the sharp eyes of my buddy Bruce Quinn.

Bruce forwarded this article on cat agility (here) to me today. Am now reading the article to Grace and Shadow, who don't seem to have any competitive bones in their bodies.

Freaking brilliant.

See here.  Hat tip to Jack Ayer.

This just in: cats outrank us.

Thanks to my brother-in-law, more proof that Grace and Shadow rule our roost: here. Considering all of the stupid human tricks that these two cats have trained us to perform, we're not surprised.

Sometimes, you just need to think about cats to have a good day....

Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF8LqoIC_5k. Our cat Shadow eats wheat toast. We should video that sometime, but at 5 a.m., we're too groggy.

See also this, which reminds me of Grace. Enjoy!

Score: 13 pounds of cat, 1; two adult humans, 0

Our girl Grace (on left) was supposed to be on diet cat food. After four days of a hunger strike (hers--not ours), we finally called our vet, who told us to give up on the diet food and just give her less of the regular food.

We are still trying to figure out which one of us gave her the "stubborn" gene.

We also think that Shadow (on right) is gloating.
