Love Me Like You Love Your Cat!

Welcome again to all cat lovers! This new edition of 1001 Cats Blog Carnival brings you lots of news from the cats’ world.

Let’s start with Jon Rochetti, who announces Cat Fight!!!! posted at The DC Traveler – Washington DC travel & tourism information, saying, “Watch as 500 cats from around the nation fight it out at one of the largest cat shows in the country, nicknamed the Debutante’s Ball. And watch as a monkey torments a “big” kitten.” I’m too far away to attend, but people in the DC region will have some entertainment, that’s for sure. Please send me pictures if you go there.

Renata Vincoletto introduces us to the well-known already Real Hello Kitties - Your Dream came True! The Cats? Nightmare? posted at Geek Sisters. It seems that not only the sisters are geek in the Vincoletto family: at A geek Family, Renata presents Falando pelos Cotovelos - Funny Cats. Watch them, they are really funny!

Amanda Harris presents Pajama Mommy Community posted at Pajama Mommy. I suppose it’s hard to be a pajama mommy, but Amanda manages it brilliantly.

Roger Baillargeon, a big cat lover, presents Featuring…The Cat of the Day–Aug.22-2007 and Featuring…The Cat of the Day–Aug.29-2007, both posted at ” ‘Pictures of Cats ” Lovers. If you feel like your cat deserves a cat-of-the-day place, you may send a picture to Roger.

GrrlScientist presents a story in two parts, posted at Living the Scientific Life:

Part 1: The Ghost of Shakespeare Garden: “So what is the spectral figure lurking in the shadows? (second image to follow)”

Part 2: Shakespeare’s Ghost Revealed: “Whose eyes were glowing beneath the Hostas? This picture reveals all (second image in a series of two).” Hamlet knew, and we can now confirm that things are not always what they seem.
JD presents I Made a Video of My Cats so you don’t have to posted at I Do Things So You Don’t Have To, saying, “Could this be the cutest cat video ever? JD pays tribute to her recently departed Simone with an adorable and clever video of Simone and her little brother, Gus.” A very touching movie, inspired by love.
Suzanne takes us through her :: adventures in daily living ::: who us? posted at :: adventures in daily living ::. If you’re seeking for adventure, sometimes would be enough to looka around you. We are surrounded by untold stories waiting to be revealed.

Sam presents Pet Food and Nutrition. What’s the Best Pet Food? posted at Surfer Sam and Friends, saying, “In a World of Recalls, What Is The Best Food for My Pet? Raising Happy, Healthy Cats and Dogs”. This could be a forever ongoing debate on which is the most proper way to feed your pet. If only pets could talk, as I’m sure they know it better!

Let’s end today’s carnival with a philosophical touch:

What does a cat love mean?

It’s maybe the way she follows your eache and every step through the house?

Or maybe the way she jumps on your shoulders to give you a kiss on your hair?

Or those moments when she decides you need to be washed… and she’s doing you this favor with her tiny, rough, pink tongue?

That small forehead pushing against your feet… those little paws resting on your cheek… the toys she brings you over and over for hours… those eyes sending you thousand kisses… that’s what the love of a cat is made of.

How about the humans’ love for cats? Maybe it’s enduring all the scratches you get from your cat showing you love, without whinning.

If we only could forgive to our human friends what we forgive to our four-legged fellows, world yould definitely be a better place! Think of this whenever you’ll feel the urge to get angry on your child for breaking your favorite vase, or when you’ll feel like yelling at your friend that he forgot to water the flowers while you were away. I’ll say this to all my friends: love me like you love your cat!

How do you show your cat you love her? I’ll be happy to publish your story on this topic (but not only) in the next edition of 1001 cats, so please make use of our carnival submission form and let us know your thoughts. Thank you!
