The Random Cat Project

I can't believe that I've never mentioned The Random Cat Project blog on here before, but it's pretty much my new obsession. They've actually beat me to publishing my lifelong dream of traveling the world and taking pictures of native cats, but I'm not bitter! In fact, I religiously follow this truly sincere and dedicated account of those wonderful times when a strange cat crosses your path.

I've submitted a few pictures of cats that I've found in my travels, and the little tabby dude from Tokushima's cat shrine made the cut! He was quite elusive and had a very mystical air about him, but he had no problem happily eating the offerings of cat food sitting on the altar. Check out his full profile.

We Say Meow

Hi hi! Sorry for the sporadic updates once again. Things are finally settling down for me with my cross-country move. It's going to take a while to make my new place feel like a real home, but I love the neighborhood and it's fantastic to be back in a city I love. There's even a cat that is constantly stopping by our front step. We called him "Drools" at first since he drools when he purrs. I swear I've heard somewhere that some cats drool when they're happy. It turns out that his real name is actually Beethoven, which makes sense as he's a honker of a cat. Kind of the opposite of my cat, Emma, who is tiny and has very little fur:

I wanted to share a new favorite blog dedicated to artists who feature cats in their work and are cat owners as well. we say meow is so adorable and well-curated. My favorite Etsian, Penguin and Fish, is featured here. Every time I open Google Reader, I scroll down to see if they've updated. I constantly am in kitty-withdrawl!
