Continuing with our theme of Animals Attack (each other), I present a “guard cat” keeping its humans safe from alligator aggression.

Tee hee! Nothing spells delight like C-A-T!
There is something about this video, in which nothing really happens, that is both cute and greatly amusing. Perhaps it’s the incongruity of the orange juice? Neither water nor milk, it’s something no one would make up, if they were making up this video.
But I can vouch for the fact that some cat (mine) do sometimes drink orange juice. For about the first three years of her life, Shadow would try to eat/drink anything that was bright orange, and she liked sweet things like orange juice a fair bit.
She also likes peppermint, and will chew peppermint gum. For a while. Why am I not putting these things on YouTube?
PS. Happy Caturday!
Kind of worth watching just for the French rap.

UPDATE: This one, which came up in the “related videos” is also awesome:
Awwww, could there be anything cuter for a Saturday morning?
(thanks, Ryan!)
Here’s a photo of my cat Shadow that Amy took. She’s a great cat, but she’s got some personality quirks that can be exasperating.
Does your cat drink from the toilet, keep you up all night and wreck your sweaters? Congratulations, your cat is normal! (As is mine.)
WebMD has a great slideshow of normal-but-possibly-annoying cat behaviours to reassure you. Check it out here.
Not a cat owner? They’ve also got one for dogs.
I don’t know why, but when cats are entertained by something on a computer, or in this case an iPad, it is just so funny.

This video makes a compelling case that the Internet is made, in fact, of cats, though it you read between the lines, it could easily also be saying that the Internet is made of 4chan.
I challenge you to imagine the horror of an Internet that was made, instead, of dogs.
(thanks, Colin!)
When I was a child, my parents had a large honeysuckle bush growing next to the house. Its springy branches were perfect for a young boy to climb and scarmble on. But alas, it was too close to the verandah, and when it got too large, it had to be cut down.
My dad brought some of the wood into the house to burn in the fireplace, where we noticed that the cat went crazy for it. This, mind you, was a cat that had previously shown absolutely no interest in catnip, yet he was wildly clawing and scrabbling and pawing and biting these foot-long scraps of wood.
My mom took some branch cuttings to other peoples’ houses, to test it on their cats — universally, they loved it.
Suddenly, we had dreams of making the family fortune at craft shows, selling bundles of wood as a treat for your cat. We’d corner the market! My mom even had a clever name all thought up (wish I could remember it).
Well, a couple of decades later, and we’ve been beated to the punch. I saw this in a pet store yesterday:

And just in case you want some cute of your own, and you live in the Brandon area, there are a whole bunch of kitties and cats at the Brandon Humane Society that need a home.
Hands down, one of the odder things I’ve seen created on the Internet. Yet strangely compelling.
