The Giant Army of Tuxedo Cats

I said goodbye to a very special tuxedo lady just about three years ago, so to honor our sweet Beanie, I am visiting her tribe tonight. In case you're not a cat person, tuxedos are black-and-white, cats, found in any number of pattern variations. Pink noses. Black noses. Multi-colored toe beans. Mostly black. Half-half. You name it. One household had no fewer than four tuxedo, each with its own distinct pattern. And if this group is any indication, then many are the hobbies and interests of that great army of tuxedo cats. Naturally there would be at least one who stands in stern judgement of his human's woeful mismanagement of household affairs. There were goofballs, comedians and memes-in-training, as well as a tuxedo enjoying his spaghetti, and several tuxedos on outside patrol. One tuxedo boss had his own box - Yay! Whoa, wait, here's one with his very own miniature cardboard replica of a Costco warehouse - talk about bosses. But then, I guess nothing beats the elderly gent who had just celebrated his twenty-third birthday. Congratulations, dude! That's no small feat, for a feline.

THE BLACK CAT APPRECIATION GROUP

CATTITUDE

Larry the Cat (@Number10cat)

 While world politics has devolved into the type of nail-biting lunacy that can rob anyone of their peace of mind and an adequate night's sleep, it's wonderful to know that there is still someone at Number 10 Downing Street in London who still values the good things in life: food, sleep, and a touch of mischief. I'm talking, of course, about Larry the Downing Street Cat, who has seen prime ministers and world leaders come and go, while still remaining in tune with his innate cattitude. His main role is rodent patrol, but Larry also has important PR duties and beware the fox that trespasses on his sidewalk, or even the shrubbed verge around it. He's met Obama and Zelensky, has over 871k followers on X and just celebrated his 19th birthday. For a daily dose of Larry-updates in your news feed, with charming clips and meme-worthy snapshots, as well as the odd greeting from furry (and human) fans, visit often.

My Cat is an Asshole

My Cat is an Asshole

To be honest, mine too. There was a time, not that long ago, when Leo could not be trusted with a cat litter bag, as the above photos show. And as much as we all love our furry felines, those exasperating moments are part and parcel of being a cat parent. Of course, there are a few instances where My Cat is a Badass might seem more appropriate. Like the tuxedo who brought home a live foot snake as prey. But in general, you will see plenty of cats behaving badly, ranging from misdirected excretions, the selection and appropriation of unlikely toys or conspiring to deprive their long-suffering owners of that good night's sleep they really need. Meet the destroyers of upholstery, furniture and electronic peripherals. Super-picky eaters, who are hooked on gourmet cuisine. Or accident-prone grumps who rack up astronomical vet bills and then behave badly towards veterinary professionals who saved their lives. Innocent looking duos or trios of felines plotting mayhem. Siblings being brats. Cats sharing their favorite entertainment options, whether it's hijacking boardgame-play or randomly knocking things off surfaces. Cats showing their sweetest asshole faces.

Cat Memes

Any cat owner will recognize the wonderfully ironic contradiction that is inherent in their pets. They are adorable, yet aloof. Intelligent, and silly. Dignified, yet playful. Independent, yet uncannily symbiotic with their humans. Any cat owner will find many of the cat memes instantly recognizable, as it expresses both the love and exasperation that many feel towards their cats. Cuteness overload may happen, especially when there are kittens involved. Many memes will make you laugh out loud or chuckle quietly. This Facebook group for cat lovers is the perfect cure for a rainy day and one of the best things to add to your news feed.

Episcopal Cats with Problems

 What on earth is an episcopal cat? That was the first question that came up with me upon discovering this group. But I was not alone. Being helpful as always, one group member made a post about this very question. Which (naturally) evoked a fascinating discussion on the nature of cats and their religious affiliations and persuasions. The nature of the problems covered here touches on a wide spectrum of problems, ranging from the frivolous to the very serious. As such, the community also offers support, reassurance and condolences to cat parents or cat fosters with questions, tips or sadness to share. There are snapshots posting "evidence" of felines behaving badly or just living by their own moral code. There are also stories of cats caught in heart-warming moments. If you are looking for a place to share all of your cat's awesomeness, you will be preaching to the converted on this space.
