Happy 1st Birthday Kosmo!
Today we celebrated Kosmo’s 1st Birthday! Well…he’s really 2 1/2 but it’s his 1st official year with us!
Against his will we dressed him up today and ate cake in his honor!
Thanks Kosmo for being the best cat! 
Animal Rescue in Japan
After everything that Japan has gone through over the last week I thought I’d blog about some positive animal related items.
First off if you are interested in donating or learning about how to help animals in Japan here is a great link:
I follow a Japanese cat named Maru and Maru’s owner blogged to say that they were safe which was a relief! This cat is crazier than Kosmo. Check out Maru’s site if you need a good laugh. http://sisinmaru.blog17.fc2.com/
Here’s a funny video of Maru. The video is a bit long but if you can watch the whole thing, you are guaranteed to have a chuckle or two.
What’s new?
What’s new for Spring/Summer 2011?

The Cat’s Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now …
Doggie does chores!
Ok so this week is officially amazing dog video week!
This one is hilarious….she reminds of me of my aunts dog Jara. We are always joking that we should train Kosmo to do household chores. I’m glad someone did!
