I love, love, love this hanging mobile from SaltyandSweet on Etsy: Figures are laser cut from 1/16″ solid black mat board and joined with black wire. Photographed with a quarter for scale (occupies approximately the same space as a basketball). The Here Kitty Kitty Mobile is extremely lightweight and stays in motion with even the [...]

Cat years to human years.

30 July 2009

Have you ever wondered what your cats age really is? I mean, I haven’t really put much thought into it. I figured a year is a year and that was that, but apparently not. According to A Cat Years Calculator: To convert cat age to an equivalent human age, an accepted method is to add [...]

As previously posted about, I did end up picking up some Chew Chew Bonito Flakes. Train is mostly underwhelmed by them. She doesn’t search out the smell like she does some treats, but when left in strategic places she will eat them in her own time. They do have a very strong fishy smell (which [...]

I spent a little bit too much time on the Discovery Channel site today and in my wanderings came across this video of a cat landing in slow motion. I love how they can just twist themselves around and land without issue. And yeah, the guys face is kinda funny, too. savvycat x //

Just a quick one for today. Mr. J and I did a photoshoot last weekend for a friend and decided to use Train as a test subject to get the lighting right. She always looks disinterested when we’re messing around with the cameras, but she posed for a moment this time – just long enough [...]

No matter what we buy Train, her favourite toy is always the old favourite: hair ties. Her obsession with hair ties started when she was a little kitten. Mr. J noticed she kept stealing mine, so bought her a pack of her own. We’ll flick them for her around the house and she catches them [...]

I work in Sydney city, and often spend my lunch hour wandering. During one of those days I came across Paws A While – a store for pet lovers based in the QVB. While I was there I picked up some Pit’r Pat treats. When I got home and opened them up, they were definitely [...]
